Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

328 My Mom Is Not A Cheater

Ryan became uneasy when he noticed how coldly Anna treated him. He pinched his own hands, paused, and decided to tell her the truth about everything. He said, “Okay. I’m going to take you somewhere, Anna, because | want you to trust me.”

“Where?”

“You’ll know it when you get there. I’ve documented everything I’ve done over the years to become close to the Wrights.”

Later on, Anna drove carefully through the snow. Then they arrived in front of an apartment building near Ryan’s school and took the elevator to an apartment on the fourth floor.

Except for a bed and a desk, there wasn’t much furniture in that modest house. However, the wooden floor was piled high with various books, and the massive bookshelf was crammed with folders and labeled books.

Ryan drew back the sheet that covered the bed, allowing the dust to float in the air. He explained, “This is where | used to live while | was working as a private detective. But | haven’t been here for quite some time.”

“You see, there are a lot of notebooks on the shelves. That’s the records I’ve been writing in since | was thirteen years old, and I’ve arranged them in chronological order. My mother refused to tell me about them, so I’ve been investigating them little by little over the years.”

Anna froze for a moment and hesitantly walked over to the bookshelf.

She casually pulled out a hardback notebook and flipped it open. The 328 My Mom Is Not A Cheater saadl notebook had the date written on it. It seemed that Ryan had recorded it three years ago when he was a freshman.

The first page of the book included a newspaper clipping with the heading “CEO of Carousel Group Richard Wright resigns, and Peter Wright’s only son takes command.”
