Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 245

Wayne said melancholy, “Have you forgotten that you are my son, Matthew? I’m your father, and Anna is NOT your mother.”

“She is!” Matthew quickly wrote two words on the drawing board and showed him.

If Wayne continued to argue with Matthew, he thought he would lose his mind. He had to say this since he didn’t want to discuss it further, “All right, son. We’re going to great-grandfather’s house for dinner tonight.”

“No!”

“No? Then I’m going to call your mom. I’m going to tell her that you go back on your word. She won’t visit you over the weekend if you do it that way. Then, you won’t be able to eat the food she made.”

Matthew’s face heated, and his anxiety grew as soon as he said those words. He said while stamping his feet, “You… You are bad!”

Wayne gave him a quick look and added, “Well, I am. You should think about whether you want to have dinner at Great-granddad’s house or not on the way.”

Wayne then slammed the back seat door shut before settling into the driver’s seat. After that, he started the car and headed for his grandfather’s house.

Wayne had had nothing to do ever since Richard became the president of Carousel Group. He not only stayed at home and read books but also drove Matthew to school and picked him up every day as a nice father ought to do.

However, Matthew didn’t seem to appreciate it. On top of that, he frequently asked Wayne when he would reconcile with Anna.

Matthew simply believed Wayne and Anna were only fighting and that they would make up with each other eventually.

At the same time, Tammy sat in the back seat of Anna’s car, feeling angry. She asked, “Mom, you and Wayne broke up, right? Then you two need to quit spending so much time together.”

Anna found what she said amusing and said, “Baby, what’s wrong? I remember that you used to like him quite a bit.”

“Yes, I used to like him a lot, but that was in the past. You know, he’s getting married to another woman now! He hasn’t treated you as well as daddy has, either. Please stop dating him, Mom! You can date another man if you still don’t like daddy.”

“Geez! Since when did you become so mature? Did you come up with it or did someone else tell you this idea?”

“Oh, Liam told me.” “Huh? Liam again?”

Anna froze. She knew that Liam was the new student in Tammy’s class. Tammy had frequently been bringing him up lately, and even more often than she mentioned Matthew.

As she was thinking about it, she heard Tammy warn her seriously, “Okay! Anyway, don’t you keep talking to him anymore. Otherwise, he will obstruct your chance to find your true love.”

“Is that also what Liam said to you?” Tammy nodded thoughtfully and replied, “Yes! Liam is brilliant, mom.”

After a while, Anna laughed and asked, “But what if your brother refuses to eat at home? Honey, I’ve promised Wayne to cook for Matthew at Peter’s house every weekend.”

“Huh?” Tammy frowned. She arched her brow and had a perplexed expression on her adorable little face. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“All right, baby. If you don’t want to see Mr. Wright, then you don’t have to go there. I’ll drop you off at work on the weekends, dear. Uncle Andrew will help you dress your Barbie dolls while you play with him.”

Tammy exclaimed while folding her arms, “No! I’m going there, too!”

“Why? You just said you didn’t want to see Wayne.” Anna asked, holding the steering wheel in disbelief.

“Ha! you know, I’m going to watch him. If he dares to treat you badly again, I’ll call Daddy. That way, Daddy will come back to protect you.”

Anna initially froze before smiling as she noticed Tammy making a stern face in the rearview mirror. She was deeply touched by her words and agreed, “Okay.”

Adults always assumed that children had no comprehension of anything. However, kids were actually considerably more sensitive to emotions than adults were. And Anna didn’t even know when Tammy started to have so much resentment toward Wayne.

Perhaps it was when she first revealed to her that Matthew was actually her brother that Tammy started to hate Wayne, she guessed. She assumed that Tammy had realized that Wayne was actually her biological father even though she had never told her before.

There could be a variety of causes, in Anna’s opinion. However, she didn’t realize the changes because they were so subtle. It was already too late when she realized that Tammy had loathed Wayne. They had previously had a huge fight and cleared up their misunderstanding by that point.

When Anna brought Tammy home, Ryan had been waiting for them at the door.

Tammy was delighted to see Ryan. She suddenly appeared joyful before leaping into Ryan’s arms. She said happily, “Uncle Ryan! You’re finally back! I missed you so much.”

Ryan immediately picked her up and gave her a few shakes. He said, “Hey, you’ve grown up a lot. Did you miss me, Tammy?”

“Of course!” Tammy said in her cute voice.

When Anna saw Ryan’s luggage on the floor, she opened the door and said, “Well, come on in. I’ll go to the grocery store in a little while and make you dinner.”

“Oh, you don’t have to do that, Anna. I just need to have a quick meal because I’m so tired. I only came to your home to sleep on your couch.”

“Don’t sleep on the couch. It’s uncomfortable. Well, the guest room is yours tonight.”

Anna grinned and opened the door for him.

Tammy excitedly walked into her room after receiving the gift Ryan had given her. After that, Anna entered the kitchen to prepare Ryan’s spaghetti. She said, “Please wait a minute. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Ryan nodded as he lay on the couch. After a while, Anna heard him snoring.

When Anna came out of the kitchen with the pasta, Ryan had already fallen asleep. She hesitated for a moment and still couldn’t bear to wake him up.

She observed that Ryan’s face was illuminated by the living room’s warm, yellow light, making him still look like a teenager. Half of his eyes were hidden by the unkempt bangs in front of his forehead, and it

appeared that he hadn’t had his hair cut in a while.

At that moment, Anna felt guilty. He’d been recuperating after she’d hit him with her car. Later, he finally regained some of his memory. However, he assisted her in looking into Matthew’s accident immediately after that, regardless of whether he had fully recovered or not.

In any case, Ryan was still a fresh adult despite his mature behavior. Anna wondered why she agreed to let him travel so far away in the first place.

She believed she would never be able to repay him for his kindness. Thinking of that, she sighed.

At that moment, Ryan was suddenly awakened. He sat up from the couch, rubbing his drowsy eyes and asked, “Is dinner ready, Anna?”

“Yeah.” Anna immediately placed the plate in front of him.

It was a plate of delicious spaghetti with tomato bolognese and a few slices of

bacon.

Ryan smiled happily and said with excitement, “Ah! I’ve always wanted to eat the food you make, Anna.”

With that, he immediately picked up his plate and ate the spaghetti. Soon, he had finished the whole plate of pasta.

“Are you still hungry? I’ll let me make you some more.” Anna said.

Ryan wiped his mouth as he said, “Oh, thank you, but I’m good. I’m full, so let’s get down to business.”

He placed his fork on the edge of his plate and made a crisp sound, and that sound seemed to herald the beginning of a new chapter in the story.

“There were two nannies who looked after Matthew three years ago. Matthew’s meals
