Anna walked out of the building alone, got into the car, and said, “Sorry, Ryan, the housekeeper has already picked them up. So, could you give me a ride back to the West Side?”

Surprised and irritated, Ryan asked, “The West Side?”

Anna was putting on her seat belt. Hearing his words, she stopped. She then said, “Ah, maybe I should take a cab. I don’t want to bring you trouble.”

Ryan smiled, his expression immediately returning to normal. He said, “That’s okay, I don’t have anything to do anyway. I’ll drop you off right now.”

He looked naive and innocent. After seeing his expression, no one would doubt his words, let alone Anna, who trusted him.

Anna smiled along with him and said, “Thank you. It’s my fault, I went out too late. Wayne‘s grandfather was worried about the two kids, so he had the housekeeper wait for them earlier. He picked up the kids when he found out I hadn’t arrived.”

By the time they got to the West Side, it was already dark.

The security guard standing at the front door saw Anna. Then, he immediately stood up and greeted her by the passenger window, saying, “Good evening, young master, Miss Gabriel. Please wait a moment. The electronic system of the door is not working, so I’ll open it for you.”

Anna froze for a moment and laughed, “Young master? Oh, no, he’s not Wayne.”

The guard was stunned, then looked closer at the man in the car. He then smiled and said, “Sorry. It was so dark that I didn’t see him clearly. I thought this gentleman was the young master. I was confused just now because I remembered that he was away on business. So, who is this one?”

“He’s a friend of mine.” Anna replied.

After they entered the gate, Ryan drove into the yard. He drove for five minutes down that long driveway before pulling up to the door.

“I’ll wait for you right here, Anna.” “Okay, thanks I’ll be out soon after I pick up the kids.” Anna said.

After she entered the mansion, Ryan looked out the window. His gaze became complicated as he saw the steps and the beautiful windows at the mansion’s front entrance.
