Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

When Anna was a child, no one in her family cared for her except her grandfather. Selina had been cold to her back then, so her grandfather was the only person who treated her nicely.

Peter was a cold, serious man, the polar opposite of Anna’s warm and loving grandfather. They were, however, both men who would protect their families.

The dinner didn’t go well, but Peter said nothing about it. When he returned home, he took the two children with him and asked Anna not to worry about it anymore. Anna wasn’t bothered but figured Selina wouldn’t necessarily think so.

It was late in the evening when Anna and Wayne got home. Wayne got into bed after taking a shower and then he read the financial magazines by his bedside. After a while, Anna sighed.

Wayne smiled, still looking at the magazine, and asked, You’re still furious about what had happened this evening, am I right? It’s okay; you didn’t know each other that well in the first place. Just don’t contact them ever again.”

Anna rolled over and gazed at Wayne, saying, “I’m sure | won’t see them again. But I’m more worried about Auntie Selina. She must be enraged, and I’m afraid she’ll overthink it. You know, it’s bad for her health.”

“It’s all right, Anna. If you’re really worried, you can pay her a visit tomorrow.”

Anna moaned once again and added, “Of course, yes. To be honest, | 336 Owing Her an Apology think something might go wrong.”

Wayne wasn’t in the mood to read his magazine after hearing her say that. He placed it on the nightstand, lay down, and tightly held Anna. Then he said gently, “Don’t think about it anymore, sweetheart. Good night.”
