Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Charlotte said, “I didn’t want to hurt these two kids at first. Ada explained that she had only intended to cause a minor mishap, giving me the opportunity to save Matthew. But I didn’t expect the fire to be so large that it burned down the entire kitchen. Whenever I think about it later, I feel petrified. I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life if I hadn’t had the guts to run into the kitchen and save Matthew.”

Charlotte said so with a horrified expression.

Anna looked at her, paused for a moment, and then continued, “So, Ada did try to kill Matthew, and she wanted everyone to believe that you were the murderer instead if that was the case. That way, Wayne would know that I was being a bad parent and didn’t save Matthew. Also, she could get him killed. Even if Wayne investigates the case, he will conclude that you are the murderer because you have no evidence that Ada committed the crime. She was attending a film festival in another country when the fire broke out”

Charlotte nodded thoughtfully and continued. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

Anna inhaled deeply and felt a shiver running down her spine. She knew that Charlotte was telling the truth: Ada did seem like someone who would do this evil thing and plant it on her.

Anna thought, It‘s very likely that Ada had planned this alone and convinced Charlotte to help her. That way, all my previous doubts can be proven well–founded.

Anna had previously felt puzzled as to why a wealthy lady like Charlotte would conspire with the pastry chef to murder two children. She also pondered why Charlotte would dash into the kitchen at the last second to save Matthew. It was crystal clear that her weird actions would make her suspicious.

So, without even thinking about it, Anna trusted what Charlotte said to her. Moreover, she also knew that Ada had the guts to commit a brutal crime like that.

Ada was not a wealthy young lady like Charlotte, and she began working as an actor when she was 16 or 17. In the showbiz, she had met many strange people as well as witnessed many nasty deals. Therefore, she was highly likely to do something like this.

Finally, Charlotte asked, “So, Anna, can you trust me now? I’ve been feeling very guilty since the incident happened. Wayne may know the truth, but he refuses to discuss it with me. This sensation makes me restless, and I don’t want to bear this anguish any longer. Anna, I want to do something to get things back to the way they were.”

“So, you want Wayne and I to make up with each other?” Anna asked. “That’s exactly what I mean.”

at that point, and she leaned
