Chapter 334: Chapter 336

When Anna was a child, no one in her family cared for her except her grandfather. Selina had been cold to her back then, so her grandfather was the only person who treated her nicely.

Peter was a cold, serious man, the polar opposite of Anna’s warm and loving grandfather. They were, however, both men who would protect their families.

The dinner didn’t go well, but Peter said nothing about it. When he returned home, he took the two children with him and asked Anna not to worry about it anymore. Anna wasn’t bothered but figured Selina wouldn’t necessarily think so.

It was late in the evening when Anna and Wayne got home. Wayne got into bed after taking a shower and then he read the financial magazines by his bedside. After a while, Anna sighed.

Wayne smiled, still looking at the magazine, and asked, You’re still furious about what had happened this evening, am I right? It’s okay; you didn’t know each other that well in the first place. Just don’t contact them ever again.”

Anna rolled over and gazed at Wayne, saying, “I’m sure | won’t see them again. But I’m more worried about Auntie Selina. She must be enraged, and I’m afraid she’ll overthink it. You know, it’s bad for her health.”

“It’s all right, Anna. If you’re really worried, you can pay her a visit tomorrow.”

Anna moaned once again and added, “Of course, yes. To be honest, | 336 Owing Her an Apology think something might go wrong.”

Wayne wasn’t in the mood to read his magazine after hearing her say that. He placed it on the nightstand, lay down, and tightly held Anna. Then he said gently, “Don’t think about it anymore, sweetheart. Good night.”

However, Anna was unable to sleep at all. She knew that Selina had never wanted her to marry Wayne in the first place. Selina didn’t know that Matthew was Anna’s son, so she always disliked the idea that Anna would be the stepmother to someone’s child. Selina was also concerned that Wayne would not devote himself to Tammy because he had a son.

Anna believed she must tell Selina the truth before they married. However, the most important thing for her was letting Wayne know about it first. After a long moment of hesitation, she plucked up her courage and said, “Wayne, | need to talk to you about something.”

Upon hearing that, Wayne wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder. “What is it?” he asked gently.

“Well, it’s about Matthew’s birth mother...”

Wayne quickly tightened his grip on her, which made Anna so nervous that she suddenly lost her courage to say anything further.

After a little pause, Wayne said, “I’m sorry, Anna. | should not have done that. Don’t think about it anymore, okay? I don’t want to, and I’m not going to look for his birth mother again. Matthew has you. And it’s all that matters.”

Wayne assumed that Anna was still thinking about Sophia. He was well aware, though, that he owed her an apology. So, he took the opportunity to talk to her about it.

However, Anna was left with conflicting feelings. She found it difficult to say anything after hearing Wayne’s words. After a while, she asked, “You knew later that Sophia was a liar, didn’t you? What did she say about that?” 336 Owing Her an Apology Wayne rubbed his chin on the back of her head and whispered, “She said nothing because | couldn’t find her. Gabe will handle this.”

Anna asked nervously, “Huh? What are you going to do to her?”

“Why are you so concerned about this woman, Anna?” Wayne asked suspiciously.

Anna hardly dared to breathe. She said, “No, nothing. | was just asking.”

Wayne was going to ask another question when she yanked on the blankets. “I’m tired. Good night. I’m heading to Selina’s place tomorrow morning.”

Wayne then switched off the light and said nothing further. In the dark, Anna could hear Wayne’s steady breathing and feel his heartbeat. She realized that she wouldn’t feel so torn about it if it hadn’t been for all the webs of lies she made. Also, she felt it was too difficult for her to explain it to him in a moment.

While they were sleeping, the clubs in Birmingham’s city center were as loud and bright as daytime. Many people danced and had a nice time under the lights.

In one of the luxurious private rooms of the club, Ada was standing on stage, wearing fishnet garter stockings, and singing a pop song. She appeared attractive as she sang and danced in a s****l way.

Asim man on the sofa cheered and stopped the music before she finished singing. With a sneer, the man looked at her and said, “Well done! You can be the female lead, Miss Xavier”

“Thanks!” Ada rose to her feet and smiled at the man.

After Richard went to prison, Ada lost her money and network. She needed money, so she decided to act again. That way, she had to go to all sorts of social events. 336 Owing Her an Apology And she had never thought that she would one day attend such an event. She wanted that five million dollar paycheck, so she had to attend such parties and entertain the directors.

The man surveyed her and said, “But there’s something missing. Do you have any idea what it is?”

“| don’t know,” Ada said, frozen.

The man took a puff on his cigarette and smiled. He said, “You’re not wild enough. The main character in the film is a p’ e who isn’t ashamed to sell her body. You simply did not act wild or shameless enough ”

Ada had been an actress for a long time and was aware of what this director desired. He seemed like he was directing Ada, but he meant he wanted to see her naked. Then Ada slowly lifted her head. Her lips were red as roses, and her eyes were very attractive.

She slowly pulled the top she was wearing off her shoulders, revealing her fair shoulder and her plump boobs. After that, she said, “Let me do it again.”

In the early hours of the morning, the bar fell silent. Lily, who was dressed in a bunny girl costume, dozed against the wall outside that room. When Ada walked out of the private room, Lily yawned and asked, “Sis, are you done with that?”

Ada glared at her as she was humiliated. Lily immediately covered her mouth and said, “No, | didn’t mean it like that.”

•Ada said flatly, “Remember, Wayne and Anna are the only reason why I’m having such a bad time right now. One day, I’ll get back everything they owe me!”

Hearing that, Lily trembled and followed her with caution, saying, “I didn’t even dare to go out today. Wayne’s assistant has been around 336 Owing Her an Apology recently. He’s probably trying to catch me. What should | do now? | can’t spend the rest of my life selling drinks here!”

Ada sneered as she looked at her impatiently, “Don’t worry, Lily. Even if he catches you, he will not do anything to you. If he finds you, you can just tell him the truth. That way, he’ll know that the woman he loves has been lying to him all the time.”
