Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Karl grew irritated when Wayne said what he was thinking. He said, “What’s wrong? You don’t think it’s not going to work? I’m sure

Peace will be fine.”

Wayne said firmly, “Oh, no, you’re such a naive fool. I think that since you will be married later, your parents will thoroughly check

her background. If they know that she had such a serious condition and you are concealing it from them, they would never give you their blessing.”

Wayne had met Karl’s parents when he was a child. They were nice parents who allowed Karl to do whatever he wanted as an adult.

They didn’t like being duped, though. So, if they later find out that Karl kept such an important secret from them, they would despise

Peace.

“You know, if that happens, your parents will hate Peace.”

Karl frowned and said, “Actually, I can just talk to my parents. You know, I’m not worried whether they’ll accept the truth or not. Peace can’t think straight now. So, if she finds out that I took the liberty of telling people we’re dating after she’s sober, she’ll be pissed. In

As he finished and walked away, he gave Anna a glance.

“Have a seat, please,” Karl said.

Anna replied calmly, “Oh, no, I’m not sitting down. You didn’t take much of his words to heart, did you?”

“No, I know what Wayne was trying to say. He meant well, and he cared
