Anna then drove Ryan back to school instead of taking him home.

Ryan had to do a lot of paperwork because their group had caught the criminals. After Anna knew the truth, they both felt awkward getting along. And Anna was relieved that Ryan had to return to school because she didn’t know what to say to him.

After that, Anna drove to the kindergarten to pick up the two kids. On the way, Wayne called her and asked, “Anna, where are you?”

“almost there, and | still have one more intersection to go. What’s going on?”

Wayne said gently, “You don’t have to go there, Henry has picked them up. Let’s meet together for supper tonight. Do you have any other plans for tonight?”

Anna froze and then realized it was New Year’s Eve. She asked, “Really? Just a moment, | need to go home and change.”’

“It’s just the two of us tonight,” With a chuckle, Wayne said.

After hearing his pleasant voice, Anna said, “Will you please give me a minute? | still need to get changed.”

“You don’t have to do that, Anna.”

“No, it’s our date! We haven’t gone out on a date in a long time. | want to bring out the best of me.”

The Carousel Group had been in crisis recently, so Wayne was occupied with work. Therefore, Anna felt touched that Wayne had taken the time to go on a date with her.

Then she even made a video call to Peace and asked her to pick out an outfit for her.

It was still noon in America. Peace sat on the bed and kept shaking her head at Anna, vetoing her choice of clothes.

Peace said, “No, this is too low-key. Christmas is coming, and everyone is still in a festive mood.”

“Yes, it’s a lovely dress. But don’t you forget that it’s winter now! You’ll catch a cold wearing it!”

Anna spent an hour changing her clothing before deciding what she should wear tonight. She wore a long knitted beige dress with a red and white plaid coat and black boots. She believed the outfit was ideal for the New Year’s Eve atmosphere.

After getting herself prepared, Anna went to the city’s busiest central square that was known for its large electronic screen to meet Wayne.

Since the next day was New Year’s Day, Anna could hear cheerful music at every corner she went.

After arriving there, Anna called Wayne to ask him where he was. It was still cold outdoors because it had just snowed a few days before. The weather forecast also predicted it would continue to snow in the next few days.

“I’m at the end of the road,” Wayne said.

The chill made Anna wince. With a smirk, she sniffled and murmured, “Why must we gather outside? You do know it’s much warmer inside the mall, don’t you? Well, just wait for me there.” 329 | Will Always Love You oF She then walked to the plaza Wayne had mentioned. When she noticed a lovely fireworks video on the large screen, she had just finished walking down the stairs.

Anna said, “I’d never seen it before, but it turns out to be rather beautiful. Can we stay here after dinner for a while? I’d like to see the fireworks.”

“Sure thing.”

“It’s very beautiful here! Too bad that there are no stars in the sky tonight,” As she walked to Wayne, Anna said to him on the phone.

She turned around as she approached the end of the road and asked, “I’ve arrived, Wayne. Where are you?”

Then Anna sneezed. There was a two-story high Christmas tree encircled by colored lights in front of her with various decorations, such as gingerbread men, bells, and gift boxes. All those things made the plaza appear to be quite cheerful and Christmassy.

It wasn’t surprising that there were decorations there after Christmas, but what surprised Anna was that there was no one around. When she entered the square, she saw that it was very crowded. However, she discovered that they had all vanished at that moment.

Anna immediately became alarmed and asked, “Wayne, where are you?”

Wayne hung up the phone at that point. Anna then stared at the screen of her phone blankly, not knowing what to do.

With the flashing lights, the skincare advertisements on the large screen across the road disappeared. Then Wayne showed up on the screen.
