Althat moment, they appeared to be the only two people in the world, The host‘s voice stipped through her fingers like and, and she couldn‘t care less what he said. Anna just focused on the his, remembering only the chythm of the breathing as they kissed and Wayne‘s determined ..

Anna had been building a barrier in her heart to keep anyone from getting close to liet, Howeven at that moment she lound that there was lomally lichathining into herlicant That healing: lighi kept her womand made her leelsweclin a way she had never tell before.

She slowly closed her eyes, lost all her sanity, and enjoyed that sweet kissan muchas possible, They kissed for a long time as il a century had passed. Iinally, when both of them were heavily breathing and dripping with sweat, the hostskod them to stop, The host then said in a teasing tone, “You two are so good at kissing You‘ve been kissing for ten minutes! Are you guys done kissing?”

Anna then blinked her eyes open. By then, the other two couples and the host had all stood up to watch her and Wayne kiss.

Anna was so ashamed and wished that she could flee the scene at once, “Congratulations, guys! You‘ve won the first prize which is a lovely bicyclel Let‘s applause for this cute couple, everybody!”

Afterwards, almost every audience was cheering for them.

On the other hand, Anna buried her lace in Wayne‘s jacket out of embarrassment. She followed Wayne closely and received their pink bike alongside him.

“But I wanted chocolate at first!” she grumbled when she saw that bike, Wayne gazed into her eyes and said, “Well, let‘s switch with the couple who won second prize, shall we?”

“No, the bike is worth more money.” Anna sald, standing on her tiptoes and peering out from behind Wayne.

This is so embarrassing. So, I have to take this bike home! A lew boxes of chocolates aren‘t worth the embarrassment I‘ve endured! Anna thought.

Wayne smiled gently and said, “OK, you got it!” They then pushed that bike home. Ryan was lying on the couch watching TV in his dark green pajamas.

“Wow! Where did you get that awesome bike?” He set aside his bag of chips and said to them with suspicion.

“Well, we got it as a gift because we bought something in the supermarket,” Anna spoke before Wayne could, and she didn‘t dare to look Ryan in the eyes.

Ryan frowned, fixed his gaze on Anna‘s mouth, and asked, “Really? How many things did you buy, anyway? By the way, Anna, your mouth is swollen. What happened?”

Anna immediately covered her mouth and said, “Huh? Oh, it‘s nothing. I accidentally put on too much lipstick, I‘m afraid. And we ate some spicy food.”

“Huh? Didn‘t you two have enough for dinner?”

Anna couldn‘t think of an answer, so she covered her mouth, ran into the bedroom like she was escaping, and said, “Well, it‘s time for me to go to sleep!”

Only Ryan and Wayne remained in the living room.

Wayne parked the bike in the doorway‘s corner and then lifted the supermarket shopping bag from the basket. He strolled towards the bathroom, looking extremely calm.

Ryan didn‘t appear to be the funny young man he was just now. He took a serious look at Wayne and asked, “Can you please behave yourself? Not only am I present, but so are these two children.”

“You can move out of here if you don‘t like me,” Wayne said without looking back.

Ryan gripped the couch‘s back and looked at Wayne indifferently, saying coldly, “Why? I arrived here before you! You see, I‘m already good enough to you by sharing my bedroom with you!”

“Well, I don‘t mind sleeping on the couch,” Wayne said as he stood in the doorway to the bathroom, glancing thoughtfully at Ryan.

Ryan snickered and shifted his position to lie on the cushions, saying, “Ha! It‘s not gonna happen! Let‘s face it, I know what you‘re thinking, and so does Anna. So, you can just spend the night in my room.”

Wayne realized that Ryan looked very at ease, and it seemed that he had made himself at home. He then frowned and looked dissatisfied, At that precise moment, Anna llung open the door to the main bedroom. She told Ryan. *Ryan, could you please come here for a moment? I‘d like to speak with you.”

Ryan agreed immediately, and then jumped up from the couch and said, “Yes, I‘m coming Wayne immediately became solemn and inquired, “Anna, what do you want to discuss with him? Why can‘t you say it in the living room?”

Anna looked at Wayne from head to toe before saying, word for word, “Because I don‘t want to.”

Ryan gave Wayne a mocking look before storming into Anna‘s room and closing the door behind him.

Wayne was left alone in the living room, staring sternly at the closed door to the bedroom.

The reason why Anna asked Ryan to talk to her alone in the bedroom was that she wanted to talk to him about Ada.

“You said that Wayne planned Matthew‘s accident before. But, many accidents have happened to Matthew in the last few years.

I‘ve only known him for a few months, but I‘ve witnessed three accidents. Isn‘t that strange? You see, Wayne had gotten what he desired. So, the accidents that happened in the last three years should have nothing to do with him.”

Anna expressed her disbelief to Ryan.

Wayne had many opportunities to harm Matthew three years ago because he wanted to be president. However, he had no reason to do so after his rival Richard left the Carousel Group “Well, you‘re right. I don‘t think it was him who did those things. Anna, did you get some new information?” Ryan said firmly.

Anna said somberly, “Well, Ada did it. Charlotte told me this afternoon that Ada planned the fire alone. So, I suspect that she has something to do with all of Matthew‘s mishaps over the years.”

Ryan completely dismissed her idea, saying, “But what can she get out of this? Everyone knows how much Wayne loves Matthew, right? Ada could only have stayed with Wayne for so long because she was relatively close to Matthew back then. If anything bad happens to Matthew, she will be unable to be Wayne‘s wife.”

“So, why did she stage the fire them?” Anna asked.

Anna had long suspected Ada. She recalled that the hotel chandelier had fallen off when she first met Matthew.

At that time, Ada happened to have just checked into the hotel. Therefore, Anna believed that it must be more than a coincidence.

Ryan frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Actually, I doubt Ada would have the guts to harm Wayne‘s son. Even if she did it, it was because someone advised or persuaded her to do so.”

“What? Who would do that?”

Ryan responded confidently, “It‘s someone from the Wrights. Matthew is Peter‘s only child, so the rest of the family is eager to make him disappear. So, I think maybe Richard did it.”

“You mean that Ada and Richard are cooperating with each other?” Anna appeared nervous because she hadn‘t considered that possibility before.
