Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 216

Anna and Jasper sat in front of her apartment’s floor-to-ceiling windows, listening to the rain pattering outside.

She made a cup of coffee for him and explained, “There’s been a lot going on recently, and I’ve been really busy. So, I’ve asked someone else to take care of Tammy. If you’re available, I’ll bring her over and have dinner with you.”

“Yes, I’m available at all times,” Jasper replied. He sat on Anna’s gray couch, seeming relaxed. The glasses he wore made him look very gentle. And he looked composed and confident. Also, the way he spoke and acted was reassuring.

“You don’t have to think about having dinner with me right now, Anna. Do you believe this is the end of the story?”

“Oh, now that my father’s dead, it’s no use for me to do anything. You and I have known each other for so long, so of course you know that once things have become final, don’t want to do anything about it anymore.” Anna said wearily as she rubbed her temples.

She hadn’t gotten much sleep in the past few days. She certainly suspected the reason for her father’s death. Anna realized, however, that she couldn’t do anything about it because she didn’t own a piece of his father’s inheritance.

If she did something, people would assume that she was purposefully causing troubles because she was displeased with the will. Anna felt that it didn’t matter if she was blamed, but she didn’t want Tammy to be involved and even humiliated.

“You know, you deserve to inherit half of your father’s property.” “Well, Jasper, I really don’t care about this.”

Jasper sighed, and then looked at Anna resignedly. He said, “I know that you don’t want to get into trouble.”

“Oh, yeah. I think that’s fine. You know, I like my life a little simpler.”

Jasper asked in a meaningful tone, “But, do you think your life is simple now? You know, the battles going on in the Wrights’ house are more complicated than your family’s.”

After hearing his words, Anna froze for a moment and asked, “What? You know all about it?”
