Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 222

Anna dialed Selina’s number after Scott and Randal had left. She asked, “Hello, Auntie Selina. Where’s Tammy?”

“We had just finished eating our lunch. And Joe is trying to let her take a nap.” Selina replied, and her voice sounded much softer than before.

“What? Uncle Joe? Doesn’t he have to work?”

“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that your uncle retired last week. He travelled to London this week for a jazz event. But he returned as soon as he learned Tammy was coming to stay with us. I knew he wasn’t good at getting along with kids, so I told him to let me take care of Tammy. And he said he was sure he could make it. What a fool!”

Anna laughed and said, “Uncle Joe just retired, so he’s probably looking for something to keep himself busy.”

Selina also laughed and said, “You’re right. By the way, there’s a family gathering this Friday night. There won’t be too many people there, just us and Bruce’s family. You should come too, Anna.”

Anna paused for a bit before responding, “Is it necessary for me to go? Well, we haven’t seen one other for a long time.”

“What do you mean? Don’t you want to spend time with us anymore?” “Oh, no, that’s not what I mean.” “Okay, then you must come. I’ll pick you up at your place on Friday.”

Anna felt that she couldn’t refuse Selina’s invitations any longer. Moreover, she realized that she didn’t have any family members other than these two uncles and their families.

In fact, she knew why Selina invited her.

Selina arrived on time at Anna’s house on Friday night to pick her up and drive her to the hotel for dinner. Her black Rolls Royce was parked next to Anna’s apartment.
