Henry, an elderly man who had been through a lot, looked at Anna calmly and composedly.

He said, “Since Wayne is deeply in love with you, he’ll definitely marry you. He and Peter, you see, have been feuding for a long time. You’re a wise woman, so you can persuade them to reconcile. That way, Peter would welcome you.”

“Actually, | think you’re overestimating me,” Anna said, frowning, “What makes you so certain that | can persuade them to reconcile with each other?”

“| know Wayne is a cold person, but he would never do such a thing. They are at odds because they rarely communicate with one another. Everything will be fine if you let Wayne agree to explain what happened before to Peter clearly.”

Henry was correct: Anna was the only person who could persuade Wayne. However, he had no idea that Anna had already investigated what had happened three years ago and was as suspicious of Wayne as Peter was.

Meanwhile, Anna was convinced that people changed. As for Wayne, he was like a different person from the one she had first met six months ago. Also, Anna was sure that Wayne wouldn’t do what he used to do anymore.

Three years ago, Wayne was still a man who would do anything to get what he wanted. But now, to Anna, he had become a gentle person who cared about his loved ones.

“Henry, are you really sure it had nothing to do with him?”

“Of course. I’ve taken care of Wayne since he was a baby, so I’ve spent a lot of time with him. You know the fact that he kicked out his mother when he was 13, correct? But, do you know the truth behind this?”

Anna froze, then looked at Henry, perplexed.

“When Jennie was kicked out of the house, she was five months pregnant.”

Jennie and Wayne’s father rarely saw each other, and she’d return to the Wrights’ house to attend his funeral. So,
