After the party was over, Wayne and Anna returned to their bedroom, feeling happy and exhausted at the same time.
When Anna was removing her makeup in front of the mirror, Wayne, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked her in the eye and said, â Anna, Iâm still thinking about what Peace said to me during the party. As you know, I still have difficulty in remembering things. So, | hope that you can tell me what has actually happened between us in the past?â
âAre you sure you want to hear it now?â Anna asked while wiping her eyebrows.
âYes, Iâm sure. | want to hear it from you instead of others.â
âHere it goes. Long story short. Years ago, before we nearly got married, | got kidnapped and broke up with you after | was rescued because back then, you made me feel insecure.â
âOkay,â Wayne frowned, motioning for Anna to continue.
âAnd later on, | left England with Tammy. And then I went to France for medical school, and | didnât come back for you and Matthew until five years later.â
âWhat?! Five years?!â Wayne stood up all of a sudden, exclaiming, â Why did you...â
âShh... Wayne, we have talked this matter through before and | really donât wanna go through it again right now. You just told me that you started to remember things bit by bit, and you will recall the conversation sooner or later. And if you really canât recall it and want to talk to me about it, II explain everything to you in the future. But not now, Wayne. Please, 435 The Thoughtful Husband you have to understand me. Iâm doing this for your own good,â Anna interrupted him, her hands trembling slightly at the moment.
âOkay, | believe you,â After a short pause, Wayne replied. Then he walked to Anna, leaning near her and resting his chin on her head.
âThatâs it? | thought you would have tons of questions for me,â Looking at him in the mirror, Anna asked in surprise.
âI do have tons of questions for you, but Iâm not pouring them out all at once today. Anna, | believe you. I really do. Also, we have tons of time for you to answer my tons of questions in the future. Am | right?â Wayne hugged her from behind tightly, nuzzling her cheeks with his nose.
âYeah, youâre right. Thank you for having faith in me, honey.â
âYouâre welcome.â
They both knew it was the most important thing for them for the time being, so Anna and Wayne started planning their wedding the next day.
Anna had to work every day and was always on the go, so she didnât get much time off. As a result, Wayne helped Peter in planning the wedding.
Because Anna didnât have time to try on wedding gowns, Wayne brought the designer directly to the hospital office. During her lunch break, they measured her size and let her choose the style, making everyone in the office jealous of Anna.
Every day, Wayne drove her to and from work, and even heavy rain couldnât stop him.
One day, Anna temporarily switched shifts with someone else. She Was supposed to get off work in the evening, but it was changed to the next dayâs early morning. When she left work, she noticed that Wayneâs car 435 The Thoughtful Husband was still parked in front of the building. She opened the door and was surprised to find him sleeping inside.
âHow come youâre still here?â She asked âYouâre off work?â Wayne asked as he opened his eyes.
âI told you I worked on another shift and couldnât leave until my colleague came to the office in the morning. Youâve been here all night, havenât you?â
Wayne yawned and adjusted his seat. âDonât worry, Iâm fine. I was worried you wouldnât have the energy to drive home from work in the early hours of the morning,â
âI remember you had a meeting in the morning,â Anna said softly.
âYes. Iâll take you home now and then go to work later.â
As Anna sat in the passenger seat, she felt warm and touched.
On the way home, Wayne noticed that Anna was always staring at, him. He smiled and asked, âWhy are you always staring at me, Anna? Is there something wrong with my face?â
â| was wondering if you would still treat me the same as you do now if you got your memory back.â
âWhat? | didnât treat you this way before?â
Anna leaned back in her chair and said teasingly, âOf course not! You werenât always as thoughtful as you are now. You used to be extremely cold tome.â
Wayne frowned as if he disagreed with her.
Anna laughed and said, âSo, you should just concentrate on driving. Actually, youâre too exhausted to drive. Just have your driver take you to the office when you get home. Youâve already had one car accident, and |
canât afford a second big blow.â 435 The Thoughtful Husband The sun was rising, and they drove passed a restaurant. Wayne went there and bought Anna breakfast. He handed her a cup of hot milk and said, âHave some breakfast, honey. You can go directly to sleep when we get back home.â
âThanks.â
â| might not be able to join you for lunch. The designer will be at the house at one oâclock in the afternoon with the wedding dress. You can try on those dresses and then tell them what you want.â
âOkay.â
Wayne and Anna talked all the way. Anna was already fast asleep when they arrived home. The maid opened the door for them and tried to wake her up. However, Wayne stopped her.
Then Wayne carefully unbuckled Annaâs seat belt before picking her up and carrying her to her bedroom. He removed her shoes and coat and drew the curtains.
Anna awoke as Wayne closed the door to the room on his way out. She rolled over, looked at the door, and smiled brightly. She thought, Thank you, Wayne. Thank you for everything.
