Tantrum
Peter turned to face Anna and said, “Oh, well, I won’t make you stay at my house anymore. So, will you
come back and cook for Matthew tonight?”
Anna nodded, and then lowered her head to make herself look less embarrassed. She said, “Well,
Tammy, let’s go.”
At that exact moment, Matthew stretched out and grabbed Anna’s blouse. He yelled, “Mommy!” as if he
were going to cry
Everyone at the table froze except Wayne, who remained motionless.
Matthew rarely called Anna “Mommy” in front of others but did it so frequently in front of Wayne.
Wayne did nothing and simply waited to see how Anna would react.
“Matthew, do you think you can just call a random woman ‘mommy’ like that?” Peter asked him
indifferently
At the same time, Matthew appeared depressed. He yanked on Anna’s shirt, unable to accept that she
was leaving
Because he was grasping her shirt so firmly, his hands were already red, Matthew screamed, “No, I
want my mommy! Don’t let my mommy leave me!”
All those who were present became flustered, and the servants looked at each other in surprise.
“Come on now, Matthew.” Anna forced herself to say it. She prayed that she could whisk Matthew away
from this place for good right now.
Even though Anna was sure she would be rejected, she requested, “Can Matthew stay at my house for
a few days?”
Peter responded coldly, as Anna had predicted, “No way!” Hearing his words, Matthew cried even
louder. Immediately, Peter yelled angrily at Wayne, “Hey! Why don’t you do something, Wayne?”
Hearing that, Wayne still did nothing. He simply sat in his seat, his face expressionless.
Then, indifferently, he replied, “No, I can’t help you. You know that once Matthew begins to cry, no one
can stop him.”
“Are you trying to make me furious on purpose?” Peter asked, his face flushed with rage. He
immediately approached Anna, grabbed Matthew’s arm, and yanked him away from her.
Although Anna was reluctant to leave, she had to bite the bullet and walk away.
She looked back before departing with Matthew. When she saw Matthew crying, and on the verge of
choking, she was heartbroken.
Then she drove away from the gate and then determined to leave this place.
Anna heard Tammy crying in the backseat and asking, “Mom, Matthew is crying! Do we have to leave
him?”
1/3
Anna still looked ahead after hearing her words, and she grabbed the driving wheel more tightly
She replied, “No, I don’t want to leave him. But my love, there’s nothing I can do now. The lawyer your
father hired will arrive in England soon. After seeing him, I will try my best to get your brother back to
us.”
Tammy blinked her reddening eyes, sniffled, and inquired, “Why am I with you, Mommy? Why did
Matthew grow up around Wayne? Mommy, is it because you abandoned him when he was little?”
Tammy assumed Matthew was Jasper and Anna’s child, but he was sent away for unknown reasons.
Anna didn’t know how to explain this to Tammy. So, she said after a long silence, “Oh, that’s because I
accidentally lost him when I gave birth to you two.
At the same time, the dining room was chaotic when Anna left.
Only Wayne remained seated. He didn’t appear to want to cajole Matthew. Meanwhile, the servants
were all scrambling and trying to make that little boy feel better.
However, Matthew cried even louder when someone approached him.
Peter slammed the table in frustration, feeling at a loss for words. After a while, he bent down to soothe
Matthew, saying, “Hey, good boy, stop crying, will
you?”
Matthew quickly stopped crying and sniffled. Just as everyone was surprised that he could calm
Matthew, something unexpected happened the next second.
With a crisp snap. Matthew slapped his hand heavily on Peter’s face. Then he yelled with great anger,
“You’re bad!”
Everyone in the room was taken aback by Matthew. Henry was equally astounded and couldn’t believe
what he had just witnessed.
Peter had been a respectable gentleman since he was in business, and no one dared to mess with
him.
No one would have predicted that his great-grandson would slap him in front of everyone like that
As everyone had expected, Peter immediately became irritated.
At this point, Charlotte stood up and said in a good word for Matthew, “Okay, Grandpa. Matthew is still
a kid. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. Please don’t get mad at him.”
Wayne remained composed, and all he did was sip his water
Then, as if he’d made up his mind, Peter frowned and took a deep breath. He knelt down, grinned as
wide as he could, and said, “I’m sorry, Matthew. It was my fault. You can clap me again if you are still
angry. I will not blame you for it. So, could you stop making a scene? Will you please finish your meal?”
Everyone was stunned, and Henry’s jaw was about to drop to the ground. They realized how much
Peter adored his great-grandson at that point. They had just learned it because they had rarely spent
time together in a long time, and such things had never happened before.
Matthew, on the other hand, was still wailing. He took two steps back after slapping Peter’s
2/3
hand away.
With tears streaming down his cheeks, he exclaimed, “No! I want my mommy!!!”
Peter sighed and finally understood why Wayne said that no one could coax Matthew while crying. In
fact, it was true that no one but Anna could make Matthew stop crying.
Matthew was taken away by the maids. They couldn’t keep him quiet, but they could keep the dining
room quiet
However, no one had an appetite for lunch anymore
After Charlotte realized everyone was depressed, she stood up and said, “Well, I’m full. Excuse me, but
I should get going. I’ve got plans in the afternoon.”
Hearing that, Peter said, “But some dishes are not served yet!”
Charlotte smiled respectfully and said, “Oh, thank you, but I’m good. I’m on a diet right now, so I can’t
eat too much. I also have plans for tonight, so I won’t be able to come over then.”
Peter nodded his head after she finished her words.
Charlotte then left Wright’s house. After getting into her car, she spotted a number on her phone
contacts.
She stared at the screen for a long time before dialing it.
“Hello. It’s me, Charlotte.”
“Well, where are you now? You haven’t eaten much just now, have you? Why don’t we get together for
lunch? I just wanted to talk to you about something.”
After a few words, they hung up the phone.
Charlotte then took a paper bag from the passenger seat and opened it, revealing the paternity report
Gazing at those papers, she had mixed feelings.
She used to believe that Ada had lied to her. However, when she saw the evidence, she realized that
Anna turned out to be Wayne’s surrogate mother back then.

Anna asked Ryan to take care of Tammy. She said to him, “Tammy hasn’t eaten yet. So, would you get
her something to eat, please? I’m going to meet someone, and I might be back late.”
Ryan nodded and said, “Sure, no problem. By the way, who are you meeting?” “Charlotte.” Anna said
after a brief pause.
Charlotte asked Anna to meet her at a café in the center of town. The café looked just like the ones in
Paris with beautiful iron black tables and chairs.
The leaves of the maple trees along the road were slowly turning red, and the weather was getting
colder day by day.
Charlotte was dressed elegantly, as she had been when she first met Anna. She wore a Chanel beige
suit and looked like a classical rich girl.
After arriving at the cafe, Anna stood still and looked around, searching for Charlotte. Charlotte, seated
by the wall at the time, waved to her and said, “Anna! I’m right here!” Hearing that, Anna walked over
and sat down in front of her.
Charlotte said, “Oh, I’ve bought you a cup of caramel macchiato, a dessert, and a salad. Do you like
them?”
Anna nodded and said, “Yes, thank you. So, what do you want to talk to me about?”
Anna didn’t think Charlotte and her knew each other well enough to go to lunch. After all, they had had
an extremely awkward meal and hadn’t even greeted each other back then.
Charlotte stated with her lips pursing, “Oh, Anna, don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to threaten you
again. Besides, I want to apologize to you for my rude behavior earlier.”
She appeared sincere. Anna, on the other hand, felt that she was being provocative.
“Oh, you don’t need to apologize to me. Charlotte, you now have everything you desire. So, no matter
what you say to me, I won’t take it as your apology. On the contrary. I’ll think you’re going against me.”
Charlotte quickly explained. “That is not the case! To tell you the truth, I’m not in love with Wayne any
longer! And he and I are really just friends now. I hope you guys can reconcile so that things can return
to the way they were. I hope I haven’t caused you too much trouble.”
When Charlotte said that, Anna felt that she was being ridiculous.
Therefore, Anna frowned and said, “You’ve got to be kidding me, Charlotte! I’m sorry, but I’m too busy
to play those foolish games with you.”
“I’m not kidding. Anna. My company is planning to relocate me to its headquarters in France soon. And
my parents are moving to France with me. So, I may rarely come back here in the future.”
When Anna looked at Charlotte’s serious expression, she said suspiciously. “What? You’re returning to
France? So, how are you and Wayne going to get married then?”
Anna reasoned that Peter would never let Wayne accompany Charlotte to France. Then it was
1/3
impossible for them to get married if they lived in different countries.
Charlotte chuckled and said, “Actually, we weren’t planning on getting married at all. Wayne said that
because he wanted to keep his grandpa’s mouth shut. You know, Peter will talk to Wayne about our
engagement today. So, Wayne is about to reveal the truth to him.”
Anna then went utterly still. She couldn’t believe that Wayne and Charlotte were getting married turned
out to be a lie.
“Huh? How is that possible?” Anna inquired, perplexed. She assumed Wayne would not deceive Pete
with such a foolish lie.
Charlotte took a file from her handbag and handed it to Anna, asking, “Please believe me on this. I
discovered something by chance recently, realizing that my meddling with you guys only makes me
look like a fool. But I am still curious about it. Would you mind telling me the truth?”
Charlotte motioned for Anna to grab the papers from the bag. Then Anna’s face became pale as she
realized it was a paternity test.
“I was puzzled about why you treated Wayne’s son so nice before. But now, I understand why.”
Charlotte said.
Anna felt a chill running down her spine, and her blood was on the verge of freezing. She had never
imagined that Charlotte would dig out the secret that she tried so hard to hide from everyone.
She had believed she had kept the secret well hidden. Furthermore, she assumed that no one would
ever find out about it if she didn’t say anything about it
“However, I still want to know the truth from you. Anna, tell me, your daughter’s father is Wayne, isn’t
he? And you’re the mother of her son, aren’t you? What the hell had happened?”
Anna clenched the paper so hard that her knuckles turned white. “Does Wayne know about this?” she
asked after calming down.
Charlotte answered with a shake of her head, “No, he certainly doesn’t. I didn’t tell him because I
wasn’t sure what will happen if I tell him. Anna.”
“Yes, I see. What do you know?”
“Actually, I only know the first half of it. Someone told me that Wayne’s son was born to a surrogate
mother. He only did it because his grandfather persuaded him to get married soon. But I still find it
puzzling. Your father was a successful businessman, wasn’t he? So, what made you decide to become
a surrogate mother?”
Anna frowned and started to ponder. She thought Charlotte already knew most of what had happened,
but she hadn’t told Wayne about it because she was worried about some things.
However, Anna knew what Charlotte was worried about
Then Anna tucked that paper into the bag and sealed it. She said thoughtfully. “Well, Charlotte, I can
tell you more of it since you have already known my secret. But will you keep it a secret for me?”
Charlotte was stunned for a moment and asked, “Huh? Do you want to keep it a secret? So, you’re not
going to tell Wayne about this, right?”
Anna answered indifferently, “No. It’s my own business. If you don’t tell
