Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Wayne said all this just to tell Anna that his parents had made him engaged when he was a child. Besides, they hadn‘t even asked him about his opinion.

Wayne had always been a smart man. He made it seem like he wasn‘t responsible for this with just a few words.

Anna pouted and deliberately said, “Hey, don‘t you try to fool me! I know you very well. You were more than ten years old at that time. Even if you could just talk then, you would have opposed it if you didn‘t want to marry her. As long as you didn‘t want to, no one would force you to do so! Well, it seems to me that you do like Charlotte.”

“Oh. Well, do you want to know the truth?” Wayne asked. He looked a little more serious, which made Anna nervous.

What? It turns out you really like her? She thought in surprise.

“Oh, no, no. Anna, it‘s not what you think.” Wayne became resigned upon seeing her expression, and then gently flicked her forehead.

She grunted, covered her head, and said in a discontent voice, “Hey! You can talk as you want, and you don‘t have to hit me!”

Wayne was originally serious. However, seeing her cute look, he couldn‘t help but smile. He stayed silent for a few seconds as if he was thinking about how he should say these words.

“When my dad was alive, he always wanted to have a daughter. But, you know, my mother didn‘t give him one. So, he had always regarded Charlotte as his daughter.”

Anna froze after hearing his words. This wasn‘t the first time Wayne had volunteered to talk to her about his parents. However, he seemed calmer this time than before.

“My mom is a painter. Also, all she thinks about every day is her painting. She often left home to paint the outside world, leaving for months at a time. Even after she gave birth to me, she didn‘t change her way of living. She only came home a handful of times a year, which was the only time I got to see her. And, she did it all the time.”

Wayne said calmly, and his low voice flowed into Anna‘s ears like a peaceful stream. Anna thought he was so calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

After listening to his words, Anna knew more about the relationship between Charlotte and the Wrights.
