Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Anna felt that she had been slapped by a cold fish when she realized that Peter assumed she was pestering Wayne.

Peter’s expression changed, though, when he heard what Anna said. He asked with displeasure. “Oh? You’re the one who dumped him? So, you don’t think Wayne is good enough for you?”

Anna immediately went silent because she was speechless. After regaining his composure, Peter clumsily coughed and apologized to her.

Anna then said, “Well, I’m going to leave with my daughter, and we’ll have lunch elsewhere.”

Before they left, Peter immediately called out to them, saying, “Please don’t go! I can’t let you leave like this after cooking for Matthew. Otherwise, it will make our family look rude. Besides, you have to come here in the evening to prepare dinner. So, you don’t have to

go to the trouble of coming home.”

However, Anna felt that if she stayed here, then it would only cause trouble. Therefore, she declined and said, “Oh, thanks. But I’d better go home.”

Peter asked indifferently, “What’s wrong with having lunch with us? You are merely a guest in our home if you don’t want to get back with him.”

Peter seemed to be threatening Anna. He was implying that if Anna left without having lunch with them, it would mean that she was still in love with Wayne.

Anna scowled and took a moment to think. However, she decided to stay here when she realized she could meet Matthew for lunch.

So, she agreed to that and said, “Okay, I’ll stay here. I won’t say no to you again since you invited me like that.”

Anna didn’t know what Peter meant when he insisted she stay for lunch at that point.

As she entered the dining hall, Anna was taken aback to see Charlotte seated across from her.

She understood at that point that Peter had done it to intimidate her. In addition, he planned to inform her in front of everyone that Wayne was already engaged. So, he wanted her to stop having wild thought about Wayne.

And Anna thought this was ridiculous.

She gave Charlotte, who was seated across from her, a courteous smile to greet her.
