Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

With her as pale as paper, Anna did her best to walk towards the courtyard, although she seemed unable to stand still. Wayne immediately frowned upon hearing Anna’s voice and didn’t even dare to turn around.

Then Anna approached them and stood beside Wayne. She reached out to take his arm, then slowly said, “I’m Anna Wright. I can go with you.”

Tony, who was standing outside the door, took his handcuffs from his bag and approached her. However, he stopped right there when sensing Wayne’s glare at him.

“Give it to me.” Another officer said to Tony, took the handcuffs, and put them in his pocket. He continued, “Mrs. Wright, we’re not going to handcuff you. All you have to do is to go to the police station with us.”

Anna nodded and followed him to the police car.

When Tony was about to get into the car, he felt someone grabbing him by the collar and pulling him backward. And Tony became enraged right away. Before standing still, he saw a man moving behind him and getting into the car. By the time Tony came back to his senses, Wayne was already sitting in the car. He seemed imposing and intimidating, a total badass.

“I want to be there with you.” He held her right hand tightly in his left hand as he stared straight ahead. 485 Not Guilty oF

Meanwhile, Tony scratched his head and had no idea about what to do. He’d never been in this situation before and could only ask his colleagues for advice. Only after seeing several police officers nodding at him did Tony got into the car.

On entering the police station, Anna was led into a small interview room. She had come here to give a statement before, but she was the one being questioned this time.
