âSo, what about Anna? You think sheâs a better mother for Matthew than I am, donât you?â Ada continued to ask, even though she was a little upset.
Wayne frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, âYes.â
He thought that sometimes he didnât always have to tell everyone what he thought. He had always liked to solve most of the problems he encountered efficiently, so he would end the conversation by answering her in this way.
Although Ada didnât look too happy, she didnât continue to ask questions.
After leaving Wayneâs office, Ada clenched her fists and got into the elevator. She thought that she would have been Wayneâs wife if it werenât for Anna.
As the elevator doors were about to close, Ada heard a young man say, âPlease wait!â
She immediately pressed the button. And she thought she had heard that voice somewhere before. Then she saw a young man walking calmly into the elevator when she looked up.
He nodded at her and said, âThank you.â
The moment she saw the manâs face, Adaâs face turned pale. Luckily, the sunglasses she was wearing blocked her surprised expression.
âItâs you!â The young man looked at her and asked in confusion, âWhat? You know me?â
Ada clenched her fists and denied, âNo, I donât.â She realized that the man looked exactly like Pearson Ray, who had been lost.
Ada thought, he didnât seem to recognize me, maybe because my whole face is covered by my hat and sunglasses.
The man left after the elevator doors slowly opened.
Ada gradually returned to her senses and went to the front desk and asked, â So, who is the man who just left?â
Wendy sat at the front desk and replied, âYou mean Ryan?Heâs a friend of Miss Gabrielâs, and Mr. Wright let him stay here. Heâs not a customer.â
All the employees at the hotel knew that Ryan was a friend of Wayneâs and didnât know who he was He had never mentioned to anyone about his amnesia, so no one knew it.
Ada frowned How is it possible that he is Annaâs friend? He is Pearson Ray. Did he tell Wayne that he used to investigate Leo? She thought.
Adaâs face turned pale as she thought about it. She called someone and said in a panicked tone, âJason, I just met Pearson Ray Weâre in trouble now.â
Anna slept through the night. When she woke up, she found it was dark outside, She saw that the light of the living room was on, and the warm light made the bedroom very Cozy She opened her drowsy eyes and smelled the delicious food. âWhy didnât you wake me up?â She asked.
She got up from the bed and saw Wayne sitting alone at the dining room table eating. There were some dishes, soup, fruits and desserts on the table.
Wayne looked up and said teasingly, âWell, you woke up yourself. And I donât think it necessary to wake you up. I thought only cats and dogs would wake up when they smell something delicious while theyâre sleeping.â
âWhat do you mean? Iâm a human.â Anna glared at him, and then pulled back her chair and sat down, pouting, âPeople would also wake up when they smell something delicious.â
Wayne didnât comment anything about that. He put a bowl of soup in front of her, saying, âHave some chicken soup.â
âThanks. You made it?â
âWell, sort of.â
Anna froze. She was just asking and wasnât expecting Wayne, the spoiled rich man, to make chicken soup for her.
Seeing her surprised expression, Wayne smiled and said, âI had the chef stew it.â
Anna rolled her eyes at him and said, âThen this canât be considered your cooking. I found a new way to make money. You could have the hotel advertise that you cooked all the food in the restaurant. That way, women from all over the city would have to stand in line to have a taste of the food.â
Wayne raised an eyebrow and asked, âAre you being jealous?â
When she realized what she had just said, Anna blushed and denied it, âWhat? Iâm not jealous! Youâre such a narcissist. I was just exaggerating, okay? Do you really think there are so many women falling for you?â
Wayne looked at her somewhat seriously and said, âI donât know exactly how many women are pursuing me, but I know that there are a lot of men who have a crush on you. So, Anna, shouldnât you explain it to me?â
Anna didnât react for a moment as the subject changed so quickly. She froze and said, âWho has a crush on me?â
Wayne looked at her with his arms folded and said, âYou like to take in men every ten years, donât you? When you were fifteen, you took Scott in, and when you are twenty-five, you took Ryan Anna glared at him after realizing what he was saying and said, âYou know well that both of these are accidents.â
âI know that what happened to Ryan was an accident, but the other one has been pissing me off latelyâ
âYou mean Scott? How did he mess with you? Heâs in a variety show.â âYou havenât known about it yet? Well, check it outâ
Wayne took out his phone, played a video and handed it to Anna. He looked very calm as if nothing had happened Anna looked at the video suspiciously It was a clip from a variety show that Scott had been on recently Scott was wearing blue and white plaid pajamas, and a reporter was interviewing him.
The reporter asked him, âYou are only in your early twenties now. You had a scandal before, but it was fake. You are single now, right? And what kind of girls do you like?â
âI have a crush on someone.â The reporter immediately got excited and asked, âWho is it? Is she an actress too?â âNo, sheâs not.
I was adopted by her when I was a child.â âAdopted? Sheâs your adoptive mother?â The reporter asked in shock.
âOf course not. She is only three years older than me and I think of her as a sister. Weâre not related.â
Anna didnât take it seriously and explained as she sipped her soup, âHe was just joking. He likes to tell people that I am his fiancée since he was a kid. You know, Iâm just his foster sister.â
After seeing how calm Anna was, Wayne hit the return button and said, âThen, look at the title of this video.â
Anna took a sip of soup and looked at Wayne in disbelief.
Then, she clearly saw that the news headline was, âScott claims to have fallen in love with his adoptive mother.â
Anna spewed out the soup left in her mouth. She said angrily, âWhat? Thatâs nonsense! Iâm not his adoptive mother! This reporter really sucks.â
Wayne calmly handed her a tissue and said, âYou still donât think this is a big deal?â
Anna coughed awkwardly. She took the tissue, wiped her mouth haphazardly, and asked, âSo what now?â
âIâve told someone to take down the Twitter hashtags.â He said. Anna froze, took a deep breath, and said, âThanks, and I apologize to you for Scott.â
Scott worked for Wayneâs company. After saying something like that, he had caused a commotion, so Wayne had to spend a lot of effort and money to clean up the mess he made.
âYou donât seem you meant it.â Wayne looked at her with his deep eyes and said,
