Wayne stepped heavily on the gas and pulled out of his neighborhood. He was expressionless. However, he looked quite irritated at that precise moment.

Wayne thought. How did you manage to break up with me so soon and leave me without a trace? Why did you let me deal with so many tricky problems, Anna?

It was almost five o’clock. In addition to the temperature becoming lower as autumn arrived, it also started getting darker sooner. As a result, Matthew’s kindergarten dismissed them 30 minutes earlier than usual.

At 4:30, Wayne showed up in front of the kindergarten. However, he was unable to find a parking space

Wayne spotted a red car parked to his right under a tree while driving around the campus in search of a parking spot. Then, a woman wearing a long lavender dress, whom he knew well, stepped out of that car

Wayne was agitated and honked his horn a few times as he thought about what the chef had just said to him.

When Anna looked back and saw Wayne sitting in the car, she frowned and said, “Hey, you‘re near the school now. You can’t honk your horn!”

Anna shouted loudly and sounded aggressive as there was another car between them.

Wayne looked subdued and slowly said, “I’m going to pull over further away. I don’t think there is room for me to park here. So, could you go pick up Matthew for me?”

When Anna heard Wayne‘s request, she immediately said yes

It took Wayne ten minutes to finally find a parking space. After he parked his car and returned to the entrance, he saw Anna standing at the end of the line.

“Anna, I want to discuss something with you,” he said as he approached her. Anna looked at him suspiciously before a king, “What?”

Anna thought to herself, if you‘re to bring up getting back together with me now, I‘ll definitely say no to you. Wayne.

Wayne then told her the truth, “Matthew doesn‘t want to eat anything these days. You have had Tammy bring him a meal every day at lunch before, right? But, you see, he would only eat that throughout the day. So, what am I supposed to do?”

When Anna heard this, she grew worried. She asked, “What? Does he really refuse to eat anything?”
