Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Sensing that something was off, Karl kept his mouth shut. Then, Anna turned back to Karl and looked at him sorrowfully. They‘ve known each other since they were kids, she thought to herself. Peace urged him, “Ah, it turns out that you do know about it! Tell me everything.”

Karl looked at the two women and realized that if he didn‘t tell the truth, he‘d be screwed. After thinking for a while, Karl decided to betray Wayne for the time being.

“Charlotte‘s surname is Wilson. Her family knows our family and the Wrights for many years. Wayne, her two brothers and me are about the same age, so we used to hang out together when we were kids. However, Wayne was a bit of a loner and didn‘t like to play with us. Charlotte was younger, and we didn‘t like to play with her. So, Wayne always spent time with her.”

Their parents were happy to see that these two children hit it off. And Wayne‘s father had always wanted a daughter before. So, he treated Charlotte as his daughter. Every time he saw her, he was happier than seeing Wayne.

Therefore, Charlotte‘s father and Wayne‘s father set up a marriage engagement for the two children. Wayne did not object to this matter. Moreover, it was good for the Wilson family because they could be relatives to a wealthy and influential family like the Wrights.

Their marriage was set. And everyone was waiting for Charlotte to come back and marry Wayne after studying in France. But Later on, Charlotte fell in love with a French man while she was in France.

To break the engagement with Wayne, she went back to Birmingham and had a huge fight with her parents. And then their engagement was canceled, and Charlotte married the romantic French man as she wished.

Generally, the story should ended with Charlotte living happily ever after with her husband. But, it turned out that Charlotte fell in love with the wrong man. The French man treated her well, but he often cheated on her. A few years later, they finally divorced. Heartbroken, Charlotte went back to England.

“Well, that‘s it. It‘s not complicated. So don‘t overthink about it, guys. Wayne‘s father died years ago, and Charlotte had married and divorced. Just let bygones be bygones.”

Karl finished telling the story of Wayne and Charlotte over the decades in a few words. However, although he deliberately described things very briefly, Anna knew that they were deeply in love before.

Anna thought, but he refused it when Peter forced him to get married six years ago. The only reasonable explanation was that Wayne still hadn‘t gotten over Charlotte.

Anna‘s face turned pale. She merely clutched the gray sheets and felt her brain was very confused. She felt as if a hurricane had blown through her brain and only ruins remained.
