Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

While they were talking, Selina walked in with the two children. “Hey! Mommy!”

Tammy jumped at Anna and cheered as soon as she saw her, while Matthew looked exhausted. He strolled inside, and then sat down on the couch and wrapped his arms around Anna as if he was about to fall asleep.

“Matthew doesn‘t usually work out, does he? We‘ve only been running for a little while! He really is a pampered child.” Selina showed a regretful expression.

Anna felt resigned. She patted Matthew‘s head softly and explained, “Well, actually, it‘s not his fault. Matthew had always been sick when he was a child. He had a fever when he was younger, so he couldn‘t talk anymore. He‘s always in poor health.”

Selina put down the cup in her hand, stared at Matthew thoughtfully and asked, “He couldn‘t speak because of the fever? So, he never spoke?”

Anna frowned and replied, “Not really. I heard Wayne say that he has spoken twice in the year.”

Selina looked at Anna with slightly more profound meaning and said, “Things may not be that simple. Wayne is the only son of the family, and a big family like the Wrights would be in trouble if they didn‘t have the next generation of heirs. Many people are jealous of the Wright family, you know. I’m afraid Matthew may not be able to grow up safely.”

Anna looked at Selina with a stunned expression and was surprised at these words.

She had heard her grandfather say that Selina had had a child when she was young. Then, after something happened, the child was lost. Her uncle Joe was very close to his brother Bruce, but they stopped visiting each other after that incident. They didn‘t speak to each other until Bruce remarried later.

Anna did not understand this matter when she was a child. But she felt scared every time she thought about it later. She knew that most people would lose their minds in front of a considerable amount of money.

Selina meant to remind her that Matthew‘s fever at that time was probably not an accident. Also, such ‘accidents” would frequently happen from then on.

Anna immediately thought of the chandelier falling down when she first met Matthew.
