“Madam, please watch your step. There’s a threshold here.” The maid said.

After hearing her words, Anna immediately put her hand on the door frame. She asked, “By the way, where are the kids? It’s too

crowded here, and I think you should take care of them.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve sent them back to their rooms. Besides, there are nannies to take care of them. It’s cold now, you need to go back

to your room to warm yourself up.”

“I’m fine, thanks. I’ll stay here to clear my head.”

Anna pulled her hand out of the maid’s hand, waved it casually, and asked her to leave.

Afterwards, she stood alone under the porch. The cool evening breeze blew on her and made her smell the roses. In the breeze, Anna

felt that she was sober a little.

Then, she sat down by the beautiful stone table in the courtyard.

“Anna, are you all right?” A man asked.

Hearing that, Anna froze and then looked at the man.

The man was in a grey suit and he was at about the same age as Wayne.

At that moment, Anna remembered that this man was the first one to stand up and congratulate her during dinner. Anna

remembered that Henry had introduced him to her as Wayne’s cousin.

“I’m fine, thanks.” She replied. She then did her best to pretend she was sober. Knowing that the Wrights were a decent family,

Anna decided that she couldn’t act rude.

Anna noticed that the man was very handsome and cute. When the man heard her answer, he immediately came out from the

porch.

Then, he put a plastic bottle on the table and said, “Hi, I’m Wayne’s cousin. Here are some pills. You must have drunk a lot of wine

Gee! But you did scare me! If you don‘t want to be abrupt, then why don‘t you just leave me alone? Anna thought to herself.

She then nodded politely but didn’t take
