Sensing that something was off, Karl kept his mouth shut. Then, Anna turned back to Karl and looked
at him sorrowfully. They‘ve known each other since they were kids, she thought to herself. Peace urged
him, “Ah, it turns out that you do know about it! Tell me everything.”
Karl looked at the two women and realized that if he didn‘t tell the truth, he‘d be screwed. After thinking
for a while, Karl decided to betray Wayne for the time being.
“Charlotte‘s surname is Wilson. Her family knows our family and the Wrights for many years. Wayne,
her two brothers and me are about the same age, so we used to hang out together when we were kids.
However, Wayne was a bit of a loner and didn‘t like to play with us. Charlotte was younger, and we
didn‘t like to play with her. So, Wayne always spent time with her.”
Their parents were happy to see that these two children hit it off. And Wayne‘s father had always
wanted a daughter before. So, he treated Charlotte as his daughter. Every time he saw her, he was
happier than seeing Wayne.
Therefore, Charlotte‘s father and Wayne‘s father set up a marriage engagement for the two children.
Wayne did not object to this matter. Moreover, it was good for the Wilson family because they could be
relatives to a wealthy and influential family like the Wrights.
Their marriage was set. And everyone was waiting for Charlotte to come back and marry Wayne after
studying in France. But Later on, Charlotte fell in love with a French man while she was in France.
To break the engagement with Wayne, she went back to Birmingham and had a huge fight with her
parents. And then their engagement was canceled, and Charlotte married the romantic French man as
she wished.
Generally, the story should ended with Charlotte living happily ever after with her husband. But, it
turned out that Charlotte fell in love with the wrong man. The French man treated her well, but he often
cheated on her. A few years later, they finally divorced. Heartbroken, Charlotte went back to England.
“Well, that‘s it. It‘s not complicated. So don‘t overthink about it, guys. Wayne‘s father died years ago,
and Charlotte had married and divorced. Just let bygones be bygones.”
Karl finished telling the story of Wayne and Charlotte over the decades in a few words. However,
although he deliberately described things very briefly, Anna knew that they were deeply in love before.
Anna thought, but he refused it when Peter forced him to get married six years ago. The only
reasonable explanation was that Wayne still hadn‘t gotten over Charlotte.
Anna‘s face turned pale. She merely clutched the gray sheets and felt her brain was very confused.
She felt as if a hurricane had blown through her brain and only ruins remained.
Wayne and Charlotte had known each other since they were children and had been with each other for
twenty years. Anna realized that she had lost in the battle of love from the
beginning
“Anna” Peace said, bringing Anna back to her senses. “Oh, don‘t worry, I‘m fine. I just need to take a
break.” “Okay, honey. You can sleep in the room you stayed in before.”
Watching Anna leave in a daze, Peace stood in place and did not know what to do. At that moment,
she heard Karl sigh.
She turned around and snapped, “Hey, why are you sighing? I haven‘t blamed you yet! Why didn‘t you
tell me that Wayne has an ex–girlfriend? If I had known about it, I would have told Anna!”
Everyone knew that choosing between a current and an ex was always tricky, which was why Peace
was so angry that Karl hadn‘t told her about Wayne having an ex–girlfriend.
After being scolded, Karl said awkwardly, “I didn‘t tell you because it‘s Wayne‘s own business. I thought
he would tell Anna himself. But none of us expected Charlotte to come back out of the blue.”
Peace sat on the edge of the bed and asked, “So why did she come back?”
Karl waved his hands and said, “I swear I really don‘t know! I just know she had just gotten divorced.
Oh, I guess she probably wanted to get Wayne back.”
Peace raised her eyebrows, “What? Is she trying to get him back? That‘s insane! What about Anna?”
“Hey! I can‘t say anything about his love life!” Karl covered his mouth and yawned. Then. he lifted a
corner of the covers and was about to sleep.
Peace lifted her leg, kicked his butt, and said, “I didn‘t allow you to sleep here! Sleep on the couch.”
“Peace, how can you do this to me?! I just betrayed my best buddy. Don‘t you think I’m a good guy?
Don‘t you want me to have a good place to sleep?” Karl looked miserable.
“I‘m already kind enough to allow you sleep on my couch. If you don‘t want to, then get out of my
house.”
Anna tossed and turned for the whole night and woke up early the following day. Karl slept on the
couch all night. When Anna got up, she accidentally woke Karl up.
Looking at his watch on the coffee table, Karl asked in surprise, “You‘re going to work? It‘s only five
o‘clock!”
Anna was getting ready to open the door with her bag in hand. She looked as composed as if nothing
had happened last night.
“Yes, good morning. Sorry that I woke you up. I‘m going to go to work early today. You can go sleep in
the guest room, Karl.”
Karl nodded dazedly. He then went to the bedroom with the cushions. However, he turned the corner in
the wrong direction and went into the main bedroom.
Anna didn‘t correct him. She just smiled and left Peace‘s house.
What happened to Wayne did surprise her. But, she knew that life must go on and work must go on.
She still planned to get Matthew back to her. She thought that since she had kept some secrets from
Wayne, she would continue to hide them until he found out about it.
“Good morning, Miss Gabriel.” “Good morning.”
As Anna walked into the hotel, she met many people who were on the night shift and ready to change
shifts. She said hello to them before going to the cafeteria for breakfast.
She had just turned on her phone when she saw that Ryan had called her and sent a text message.
After glancing at it, she called Ryan.
“Are you awake?” She asked.
She heard Ryan breathe heavily and say, “Yes, I just finished my morning run.”
“I just saw your text. Do you have your trip all planned out? It’s so soon. You‘re planning to leave
today?”
“Well, I’m going to several places. I‘m planning to leave early to get things done sooner.” “Let‘s meet up
and talk. I‘m in the cafeteria; what do you want to eat?” “The usual, thanks.”
Anna packed a sandwich and a cup of coffee for him. She hadn‘t even reached the elevator when she
saw a man approaching her and standing in front of her.
She frowned, gripped the bag, and said, “Good morning, Mr. Wright. You come to work early today.”
Wayne breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Ah, I came to see you.” “Oh, all right. But, I‘m going to bring
Ryan breakfast and talk to him about something.”
After realizing how indifferent she was, Wayne asked irritably. “Where were you last night?”
He‘d been looking for her all night. When he heard the staff say they saw her in the cafeteria in the
morning, he immediately rushed over. He didn‘t know why she was talking to him like that.
“I have something personal to deal with, sorry.” Anna walked past him and pressed the button of the
elevator.
“What is it?” Wayne asked.
“Oh, it‘s just something personal. Wayne, everyone has their own privacy, and you should respect that.
You can‘t expect me to tell you all my secrets.”
Wayne stared at her and asked, annoyed, “What do you mean? If you‘re not doing something shady,
then you can tell me.”
Wayne felt angry. He had been looking for her all night, and was glad to finally found her in the
morning. However, she said she had to bring breakfast to another man, which was unacceptable to
Wayne. Also, she was also very cold to him.
Just when both of them became hostile to each other, there came the sound of the elevator arriving.
Anna turned her back to Wayne and said, “What about you? You didn’t say anything to me about you
and Charlotte either, did you?“
