314 What Exactly Do You Want?

What put Anna at ease was that Matthew ran over to her after saying thank you to Sophia. Then he wrapped his arms around Anna and rubbed his cheek against her neck.

Anna gently stroked both children’s hair while looking at Sophia.

While everyone was eating, Peter said to Anna thoughtfully, “Anna, could you possibly stay after the party? I’d like to speak with you about something about Matthew.”

Anna immediately glanced at Wayne and found that he was not surprised about what Peter said. At this point, Anna realized that Peter might have known about the whole “Sophia is Matthew’s birth mother” thing. That was why he had invited Sophia to come here.

Anna clenched her fists tightly. When Anna noticed Sophia going to the bathroom, she stood up.

Meanwhile, Wayne was feeding Matthew.

“Where are you going?” he asked “I’m going to the bathroom,” Anna said calmly, “And I’ll be right back.”

She realized that only she and Sophia knew the truth while Wayne and Peter still had no clue about it. As a result, she was curious about Sophia’s motivation for doing so.

The restroom was far from the venue, and Anna had to follow Sophia through two doorways.

Sophia was washing her hands as Anna approached her. She appeared haggard and exhausted. ‘314 What Exactly Do You Want?

Sophia froze when she saw Anna and smiled and said, “Hello there, Miss Gabriel. | apologize. | didn’t say hello to you because there are too many people here just now.”

Anna walked in, looked at Sophia indifferently, and said, “Okay, no one else is here, so you can stop acting. What do you intend to do?”

“Oh, | don’t know what you mean,” Sophia frowned.

Anna asked directly, “Is it true that you are Matthew’s mother? Is it true that you were that surrogate?”

Sophia froze for a moment before taking two steps back and saying, “| don’t want to offend you in any way, Miss Gabriel. You should know that I’ll be leaving for America in a year. So, the only reason why | contacted Wayne was that I want to meet my son. There is no way | would jeopardize your relationship with him.”

Anna said coldly, “Come on, stop pretending. You’re not even Matthew’s biological mother. Who the hell sent you here? What exactly do you want to do?”

When Sophia noticed how anxious Anna looked, she snorted and said, “Well, | think I’ve been polite enough to you. And I don’t know why you suspect me. Who is Matthew’s birth mother, if not me? Is that you?”

Anna flushed, and her heart began to beat faster. She suspected that Sophia knew everything, including the fact that she was Matthew’s mother. However, Sophia purposefully avoided saying so.

Anna felt that Sophia had a purpose for doing this. She lowered her voice and warned, “What the hell are you looking for? Let me tell you, | will do anything for Matthew.”

Sophia then looked at her nails. However, the words she spoke ‘bnlawed ana 314 What Exactly Do You Want?

She said, “No, I’m not interested in doing anything. I’d like to see him because I’m his mother. Can’t you understand this simple truth?”

Anna realized that no matter what, Sophia would not admit that she was a liar. She made up an almost perfect lie, leaving Anna speechless.

Anna was so enraged that her hands trembled.

Meanwhile, at the banquet.

When Peter realized Anna had been missing for a long time, he asked Wayne, “Why hasn’t Anna returned? Wayne, go check out what’s going on.”

Wayne looked down the hall and saw that Sophia wasn’t there either. He became concerned when he realized something bad might had happened between them.

After instructing the nannies to care for the two children, he went straight to the bathroom.

He’d just walked up to the bathroom door when he heard a woman’s startled cry from inside.

“Anna!” He violently pushed open the women’s restroom door. And he was taken aback when he saw what was happening.

Sophia collapsed to the ground with one hand covering her face. “How dare you hit me?” she asked, her eyes welling up with tears.

Anna was still holding her hand up in the air at the time. Furthermore, her face was darkened. When she turned around after hearing the door open behind her, Wayne looked at her in surprise.

“What exactly are you doing?” Wayne asked grimly.

Faced with his aggressive attitude, Anna felt disappointed. She said, “| didn’t do anything, Wayne, will you believe me?”

Wayne remained silent. He simply walked past her and helped Sophia ‘314 What Exactly Do You Want? up from the floor.

Sophia struggled to stand up. She quickly yanked her arm away from Wayne’s grasp as if she was afraid of being touched. After that, she said, “Oh, don’t worry; we just had a small quarrel. I’m fine.”

She was still covering her face as she spoke.

Anna thought it ridiculous to see Sophia pretending to be soft and pitiful. She hadn’t even laid her hands on her. Sophia, on the other hand, pretended to be beaten by Anna.

Of all the women who threw themselves at Wayne Wayne, Sophia was the most shameless of them all in Anna’s opinion.

“Anna, did you hit her?” Wayne asked Anna seriously.

Hearing that, Anna was furious, shouting, “Of course, | did not! But | would have ripped her stupid mouth into pieces if you hadn’t come in the way!”

“Why? She just wanted to see Matthew! Anna, will you calm down?”

Anna pointed at Sophia and said, “Yes, I’m very calm. But she keeps irritating me. Wayne, please take your son more seriously.

Are you sure you want him to be alone with a stranger? | swear to you, if anything bad happens to Matthew, I will kill you!”

Anna,” Wayne exclaimed loudly.

Anna yelled even louder, cutting Wayne off. She said, “Stop shouting at me like that! I don’t care if you think I’m unreasonable or petty. But I’m not going to be polite to this strange woman.”

With that, Anna stormed out of the bathroom.

At the same time, Wayne frowned and tightened his fists.

Sophia then said, “I’m so sorry, Wayne. I’l explain everything to her ‘314 What Exactly Do You Want?

right now.”

“No, you don’t have to,” Wayne said.

Just as Sophia was about to leave, Wayne asked her, “Did Anna hit you?”

Sophia shivered as she noticed how cold his gaze was. Then she answered, “It’s okay, I’m fine.”

“No, I’m asking whether she actually hit you.” His low voice echoed in the room.

Hearing that, Sophia felt a shiver running down her spine.
