Chapter 414: Chapter 416 Can We Start Over?

When Anna returned home from work in the evening, she noticed a man standing near the apartment building. He looked dashing and handsome, standing by the car in front of the door.

Anna noticed that it was after 12:00 a.m. She asked, “What are you doing here? Why are you standing near my house late at night?”

“Why couldn’t come?” Wayne asked, standing up straight.

Anna said, “Because you were healed, and that day was the last time | changed your bandages. Your wound has scabbed over and will fall off on its own. Besides, I’m very busy at work.”

“Do you mean you won’t see me after my wounds heal?”

“We might run into each other again. It’s already late, and have to be back home. Tammy is still at home waiting for me. Bye.”

She was about to move forward when Wayne asked, “Are you just going to leave like that? My wounds have healed, but my heart has not. What should I do now?”

Anna stopped. Wayne walked up to her and said, “You got rid of Rachel, the only woman I’ve had around for five years. I’m going to spend the rest of my life alone. Shouldn’t you compensate me for it?”

Anna stared in surprise and thought, Do you really care about Rachel?

Wow! What a surprise.

Then Anna said, “You do seem to care about her, don’t you? | didn’t even have to kick her out because she was the one who yelled at me at the hospital. You could have kept her if she had wanted to leave.”

“I don’t like her and don’t want to keep her. Anna, the person I’ve When Anna returned home from work in the evening, she noticed a man standing near the apartment building. He looked dashing and handsome, standing by the car in front of the door.

“I don’t like her and don’t want to keep her, Anna, the person I’ve 415 Can We Start Over? always wanted to care about is you.

But you never gave me a chance to do so.” Wayne sounded sad and regretful, and there were almost tears in his eyes.

Anna could tell that he still loved her, and that feeling overwhelmed her. She had returned to England not for him but for Tammy and her internship. Yet, Anna couldn’t help but fall in love with him again It was late at night, and there was no one around. The dim light from the street lamp above their heads reflected on his face, making him look very gentle. He was maturing, becoming more attractive, and was no longer cold and arrogant.

Anna’s heart was racing, so she lowered her head and turned away from him. She said, “She’s the one who went to the hospital to find me, so | should blame you for it. It already happened, so what do you want me to do?”

“Let’s not bring her up again. I’ve been waiting for you for three hours, so why don’t you invite me over for a cup of tea?”

“The kids are sleeping.”

I’m not going to bother them.”

Wayne didn’t seem to want to leave quickly, so Anna had to make a compromise. When she entered her house, she took a pair of disposable slippers from the cupboard and said, “I’ll make you some tea; what would you like?”

“Surprise me.”

“Jasmine tea, then.”

After that, Anna went to the kitchen, took the jar of jasmine tea from the cupboard and boiled two cups of hot water to make two cups of tea. She then handed Wayne one. 415 Can We Start Over?

“t’s really good!” Wayne exclaimed after taking a sip of the tea.

Anna looked at him and said meaningfully, “You’re so rich so you can have anything you want. What makes you want to drink the tea | made?”

“Because no tea is better than the one you make.”

“It’s all tea, and no matter who makes it, it tastes the same.”

“No, yours is different. Your tea is especially delicious.”

Anna lowered her gaze, wanting to change the subject. “When did you start studying tea2” she asked.

“You know what I’m talking about,” Wayne said “Idon’t.”

Wayne put down his teacup and said, “Then let me make it clear. You Wouldn’t care about my wounds if you didn’t care about me, and you wouldn’t come to my office every day at noon if you didn’t care about me. We’ve been through so much together that we can’t separate ourselves completely. Matthew is living with me and Tammy with you, and they are our children.”

“What exactly are you trying to say?”

“I’m trying to say that since we can’t split up, would you mind starting over with me? | haven’t been seeing anyone else these past few years, and neither have you. I’m still in love with you, and you still fell the same way about me. We also have two children together. So we’re destined to be together.”

Anna attempted to reject him, but Wayne cut her off and said, “Don’t reject me yet. You want to reject me because | have previously treated you poorly. I realize I’m too controlling and haven’t given you enough freedom. But | can assure you that have changed. | know you were upset with me 415 Can We Start Over? for not believing you. I admit that disliked Jasper and always suspected that there was more between you two. Since he’s married, I’m sure you’re just friends. I will believe you and will never doubt you again. Could you please give me another chance?” Wayne had never appeared more sincere to Anna. He wouldn’t even apologize to her a few years ago. Nonetheless, he could now discuss the matter calmly.

Seeing that Anna was speechless, Wayne continued, “I went after you at the airport the day you left, but I didn’t know you were going to France. So, I got on the wrong plane and missed you. We’ve been in and out of love for far too long. So, for the sake of our children and ourselves, could you please give me another chance? | have no idea what my life will be like in five years, and I don’t need you to tell me right away. But | really hope you’ll consider what I’m saying.”

After taking a shower, Anna lay in bed and she couldn’t fall asleep She kept recalling what Wayne had said to her. She had wanted to call Wayne for years but had never done so. She hadn’t found the right opportunity, and no one would support her except for Tammy.

When she asked Peace for her advice, Peace always told her, as did Selina, that “Men are hard to change. You have to stop putting much faith inhim”

As a result, Anna began to think less and less about Wayne as time passed. However, she realized she couldn’t date anyone else after she stopped thinking about him.
