Ryan raised his brows and added with purposeful provocation, âYeah, youâre in MY HOUSE right nowâ
âRyan, are you serious?â Wayne asked senously Before Ryan could respond, Anna turned to Wayne and said, âHey. Iâm not speaking to you. Will you please shut up?
She turned to Natalie and said, âOkay, guys, take turns to tell me what happened. So, what are you doing here. Natalie?â
Natalie pursed her lips and appeared resentful She sighed as she pointed at Wayne, who was sitting opposite her, and complained, âYikes! Itâs all thanks to him! Wayne is insane, Anna! He told my father that he wanted to marry me Iâm still underage, for godâs sake!â
Ryan instantly spit out the water he had just drank and then stared at Wayne in disbelief and exclaimed, Wayne, I knew you were ap...t, but I have no idea that you are this sick!â
Wayne scowled, disgustedly examining the wet spot on his sleeve and warningly looking at Ryan âLet her speak!â Anna spoke while looking at Natalie Although Natalieâs statements shocked her, she wanted to hear her explanation âOkay My father asked Wayne to marry Charlotte, but he refused it. Then, they had a huge fight My father said Wayne must get married before Christmas and didnât care who his wife would be Iâd been hiding behind the door listening in on their conversation all the time. Then Wayne pulled me into the room and announced that he would marry me Dear lord! He went bananas!â
After hearing Natalieâs statements, both kids on the couch gazed at Wayne as if he were the most insane person on the planet.
Tammy was disgusted by him, and Matthew looked as if he had detested him âOh, I was just saying it off the top of my head.â Wayne answered, coughing awkwardly âWhat? That is not a valid excuse! Natalie is only thirteen years old, you know. No wonder sheâs so scared that she ran away from home.â Anna said, rolling her eyes at Wayne Before he could explain himself, she turned to Matthew and inquired, âWhat about you, then? What exactly are you doing here?â
Matthew could pronounce a few simple words but not whole sentences. So he drew âDad had an argument with Great-Grandpa, so he got kicked outâ on his drawing board.
When Natalie noticed the line, she exclaimed angrily, âHe deserves it!â
Wayne glanced at Natalie and seemed annoyed. After that, she hid behind Ryan and didnât dare to say one more word, After listening to their explanation, Anna got the gist of what had happened.
It began with the fact that Wayne had lied to Peter that he was dating Charlotte. However, just as Peter was going to set a wedding date for them, Wayne revealed the truth to him. After pissing 1/3 25 Points 255 Heâs Insane Natalie couldnât comprehend that Wayne was just using her as an excuse, and Anna felt that she had no way to explain it to her.
When Anna saw how much of a bummer Natalie was, she said to Wayne in displeasure, âLook what youâve done. Talk some sense into her, will you?â
Wayne turned to Natalie and stated, âYou think spending time with me is risky, donât you? But you know, itâs even riskier for you to be in the same room with me, Natalie.â
Everyone, even Anna, got goosebumps from his eerie tone.
As expected, Natalie became frightened and cried, âThatâs ridiculous! Wayne Wright! You canât do this to me!â
âCome on, stop crying! Thatâs enough! You know what, itâs time for you to go home now! Or, Henry will be downstairs in a minute.
They will not punish you if you return home on your own,â Wayne reminded her impatiently âWell, then, Iâll go!â Natalie said as she stopped crying.
After picking up her handbag, she sniffled and waved to everyone goodbye. She gave Wayne one more hard stare before walking away, leaving the crowd dumbfounded.
Well, well, well. The drama queen finally left the room, Anna thought to herself. The room was utterly silent after Natalie closed the door. Anna felt a headache as she saw those four people sitting on the couch.
To avoid staying with them any longer, she left with the perfect excuse, âWell, Iâm going to make dinner.â
Then she locked herself in the kitchen.
Of course, Anna knew why Wayne was here. She also knew that no matter how upset Pete was, he would not let Wayne sleep on the street.
However, the fact that Wayne had come to her house and said those words demonstrated that he had no intention of leaving. So, Anna wouldnât bother trying to persuade him into leaving her house.
She only cared about Matthew and didnât mind having another person in her house.
Anna thought to herself, I could regard Wayne as Matthewâs accessory! Besides, I have a feeling that he wonât stay in my house for long.
She was getting ready to cook when she heard the kitchen door open. Then a man entered and shut the door.
âCharlotte told you that, didnât she?â Wayne asked Anna.
Hearing that, Annaâs heart beat wildly. Her hand shook, and the carrot in her hand splashed into the water.
