“Tammy Gabriel.” Anna said in a deep voice, staring at the little girl. “Do you think it is OK to stay
here?”
Tammy set her mouth in a line with a guilty look on her face. Usually, Anna was really angry when she
talked to Tammy in this way.
“Mommy.” Tammy pulled Anna‘s sleeves, “I just want to play with Matthew a little longer.”
Anna looked at her with great seriousness, “Do you know what time it is now? Haven‘t | told you that
you can play but you can‘t wear out your welcome? It‘s common courtesy.”
While Anna was snapping at Tammy, Matthew suddenly crawled to her and held one of her legs with
one hand, with the sketch board in the other hand.
Anna felt it and looked down subconsciously at Matthew, who was holding the board up high. She saw
the words that Matthew wrote, “I want Tammy to stay.”
“Matthew.” Anna frowned and suddenly didn‘t know what to say. It always seemed difficult for her to
refuse Matthew‘s request.
“Matthew, we have to go. It‘s too late now. Next time I will bring Tammy here to play with you again.
OK?”
Seeing that Anna still insist to leave, Matthew became agitated. He quickly wrote some words on the
board and pulled Wayne‘s pants to let him read it.
“If you don‘t let Tam and Auntie stay, I won‘t eat.”
Matthew‘s request took Wayne by surprise and struck a church with him. He hesitantly looked at Anna,
“Uhm, why don‘t you stay tonight? I will have them clean a room for you and Tam.”
Astonished, Anna said, “No. It‘s a little inappropriate.” “Don‘t get me wrong.” Wayne glanced at her and
explained calmly, “»
“If you leave now, Matthew will refuse to eat tomorrow. His arm hasn‘t recovered yet. He can only stay
at home and rarely see his friends.”
Wayne‘s words didn‘t leave much choice for Anna.
Tammy seized the moment of Anna‘s hesitation and said, “Mommy, tomorrow is Sunday. I don‘t need to
go to school, and you don‘t need to go to work. I promise I won‘t ask you to stay here tomorrow. I just
want to stay with Matthew for a little longer.”
Now Anna could do nothing but to agree. She poked Tammy on the forehead and cast a significant look
at her, “You‘re a big girl now, trying to keep your friend company.”
After Anna decided to stay, the servants cleaned a guest room for them. Anna first took Tammy to have
a shower. Tammy was crazily excited, laughing and playing wildly in the bathtub, and getting all the
towels in the bathroom wet.
“Alright. Alright. Enough. Is it really this good to stay here?”
“Yes.”
Tammy looked at Anna with smiling eyes, “Mommy, I‘ve always wanted to have a brother.”
Anna frowned and said in a low voice, “You do have one.”
Tammy realized that she had reopened an old wound and regretted, “Sorry, mommy.”
“It‘s alright.” Anna touched her head resignedly, “Stay in the water quietly. Or you‘ll catch a cold. I‘ll find
a dry towel for you.”
“OK.”
The son that was taken away had always been a pain in Anna‘s heart. She knew that it was unlikely to
bring him back even if she found him. But she hoped that she could see him again, if possible. She
only wanted to know whether he was happy. If he was living a happy life, she didn‘t need to disturb him.
She went out of the bathroom and let out a sigh of sadness, feeling hard to breathe.
Wayne was drinking water in the living room. He turned around when he heard the sound and saw
Anna walking downstairs. Her dress was drenched to the skin on the chest part, vaguely showing the
outline of her bra.
He was suddenly nervous, his mouth dry.
“Uhm, where are the servants?” Anna hesitantly asked him, seeing that he was staring at her.
Wayne came to himself and avoided Anna‘s gaze, “Just went outside. Throwing the rubbish, I guess.
What are you looking for?”
“Towels.” Anna pulled her collar and smiled resignedly, “Tammy was naughty in the
servants whether they can find some dry towels.”
Wayne glanced at the door. The rubbish bin was far away from the house, and the servant on duty
today had just left. It would take her a while to come back. “I‘ve got some in my room. I‘ll take it for
you.”
He put down his glass and walked to the stairs.
JAnna, following him, was a bit nervous when she walked into the master bedroom and unconsciously
clenched her hands. She looked at Wayne‘s back and shook her head to clear her mind from thoughts.
What are you thinking?
“Do you need bath towel or facecloth? Come and have a look.” Wayne stood at the bathroom door and
called her.
She quickly walked over, “Both.”
There were neat stacks of towels in the cupboard near the washbasin. Anna first took two bath towels
but didn‘t find the facecloths on the layer below. It seemed that they were on the layer above her. She
tiptoed to reach the facecloths, but it was difficult for her since she wasn‘t tall enough.
A hand was suddenly reached out over her head, and she heard a deep voice in the
darkness, “Two?”
She nodded in a daze, not knowing whether he saw her. She just felt that the shadow that covered her
was darker.
Wayne took the facecloths and when he lowered his head he met Anna‘s wandering eyes, which were
sparkling in the darkness. His heart beat, but his hands stopped.
In the dim light of the bathroom, Wayne‘s action of taking the towel was more like intimately holding her
in his arms from behind. Anna felt that the temperature of the room had risen a little in this romantic
atmosphere.
She breathed heavily and caught a whiff of the cologne on his body. She couldn‘t resist taking a sniff of
it. He smells good.
“Mr. Wright…” A servant suddenly knocked at the door, breaking the romantic silence in the room.
Anna suddenly came to her senses and lowered her head to avoid Wayne‘s straight gaze. She took a
step back to keep a proper distance from him.
Wayne also came back to himself. He shot a displeased glance at the door, “What‘s wrong?”
He handed the facecloths to Anna.
Anna contained her emotions and took them in embarrassment, her heart still beating fast as if they
were going to pop out of her chest. This is weird.
“I just went to the guest room. Ms. Gabriel‘s daughter was alone in the bathroom. She asked where her
mommy went. I have looked around the house but didn‘t find her.”
Anna quickly looked at Wayne. Before she stopped him, he had walked out of the bathroom calmly and
answered, “She’s here with me.”
There was a moment of silence outside the room.
