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

fact, she and I are actually on a break right now.”

Seeing that Karl could do this for her, Wayne figured he didn’t have to say anything more to persuade him. He gave Karl a friendly pat

on the shoulder and said, “Well, that’s all I want to say to you. By the way, Anna wants to talk to you after a while.”

“Sure,” Karl said with a nod.

After a while, Anna came out of the bedroom.

Wayne realized what he needed to do right now. As a result, he stood up and prepared to leave. “I’m heading to the garage now to

fetch my car,” he added.

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?”
