Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Mike didn‘t say anything to make Anna stay. So, she walked straight out of the house.

It was noon, and the sun was very bright and scorching. But Mike‘s wife was standing in the sunlight feeding the chickens as if she didn‘t feel the heat.

As Anna came out, she found that Mike‘s wife was looking into the house. When she saw Anna, she immediately lowered her head and seemed to resent her.

As Anna walked past her, she clearly heard that woman curse, “What a troublesome woman!”

Anna looked back at her, frowned, and asked, “What? Who are you talking to?”

The woman looked up and snarled, “Ah, it‘s none of your business. I said that my chickens are troublesome.”

The chickens inside the coop were still small. Then, one chicken cooed a few times to express how discontent it was

Of course, Mike‘s wife would not scold her own chickens for being troublesome, unless she‘s crazy. So, she must be cursing me. Besides, there is no one here but the two of us. Anna thought to herself,

Anna looked at her and said, “Mike is such a good baker. It‘s such a shame that he retired after the incident

“Humph, I don‘t know what you‘re talking about.”

“The hotel suffered huge economic loss because of the fire. And someone has to be responsible for that matter. I think that even if the hotel only let him pay for a small part of the money, it is still a lot. You can‘t solve that just by retiring and leaving. So, do you know anything about this?”

Hearing that, the woman‘s face immediately turned pale.

“Anyway, I‘m staying at a nearby B&B tonight. You can find me there if you have anything to say to me. I will be waiting for you.” After saying this, Anna left Smith‘s house without looking back

Anna thought to herself, it appeared that Mike‘s wife obviously knew something about the fire. Or maybe, she knew the truth about it!

Anna had some thoughts in mind, but she still needed someone to confirm that.

“Hello. Did you find Mike?” Anna had just arrived where she was staying when the owner‘s wife warmly greeted her.

Anna stayed at the fisherman‘s house. That small village had a beautiful view, and many people would travel there every summer. So, almost every family turned their house into a B&B hotel.

Anna smiled and replied, “Yes, I‘ve found him. Did your husband go out?”

“Yeah, right. He took our son to the beach to fish. A guest just ordered seafood from us, and he will pick it up in a few minutes.”

“Is that so? It seems that the seafood here is very popular.” Anna sat by the window and drank her coffee. She looked out the window and felt that the sea breeze was brushing her face.
