Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 233

233 Wayne’s Getting Engaged to Someone Else?

As Matthew struggled, his drawing board fell to the floor and made a loud noise,

He cried out on Wayne’s shoulder. Seeing his sad face, the servants in the courtyard looked heartbroken as they pitied him.

Natalie couldn’t bear to see him cry. She mustered up all her courage to run to Wayne and stood in front of him. She said, “Hey, where are you taking Matthew?”

Wayne glanced at her and said, “Get out!”

Natalie gritted her teeth and said, “Hey! I’m your aunt. Show me some respect, please.”

Wayne looked irritated as soon as he heard her words and then said, “Natalie, stay out of my way.”

Natalie suddenly lost her cool after hearing his words. As she moved aside, she muttered, “Oh, I’m sorry, I was just kidding. You can go now.”

Wayne then went away without a word. Natalie felt upset as she stared at the broken drawing board on the ground.

“I heard Peter wants Wayne and Miss Wilson to get engaged,” the servants in the corridor whispered as she bent down to pick up the board.

“Huh? What? But I remember him introducing Miss Gabriel to all his relatives some time ago!”

“Oops! You know, something horrible has happened to the Gabriel family recently. And Wayne seems to have broken up with her. Did you hear that Peter let Richard run the group2 Wayne’s career will be ruined if he doesn’t marry Miss Wilson.”

“Yes, you’re right! Men value their careers, let alone someone like Wayne.”

Natalie heard all the gossip of the servants. After picking up the drawing board, she went back to her room and made a call.

“Hello? Tammy, it’s me! Is your mother home?”

“No, I’m not looking for her. But I want to talk to you about something. Listen, could you tell your mom to forgive Wayne? Otherwise, their relationship will be screwed.”

Hanging up the phone, Natalie felt melancholy. Honestly, she knew she was the least valued person in the entire Wright family. Even though she was Peter’s adoptive daughter, Peter would be extremely generous to raise her till the age of eighteen because, after all, she was adopted.

Natalie was still young. But, because she spent a lot of time in an orphanage as a child, she knew whether her circumstances were good for her or not.

As he grew older, Peter might not be able to support her for very long.

Wayne was certainly the future owner of the Wright family. But, the two of them didn’t get along with each other. So, at this point, the future hostess of the house could decide her

She liked Anna, as she was a delicate and lovely woman. Also, she and Tammy were really getting along well. Natalie would prefer Anna to marry Wayne over Miss Wilson. So, she was on the same side as Tammy.

However, she felt that Tammy sounded as if she didn’t like her ideas on the phone. Why did Tammy change her mind so quickly? Natalie thought to herself.

Tammy didn’t go to school these days since she had a cold.

After Anna had made lunch, she asked Tammy to the dining room. However, she noticed that the little girl looked upset.

Anna touched her forehead and said, “What’s wrong, honey? You don’t feel well? But, it seems that you don’t have a fever.”

Tammy reached out her arms and begged her mother to hold her in a childlike voice that was slightly muffled because she had a cold.

She leaned on her mother’s shoulder and said, “Mommy, if you don’t marry Wayne, is there any way you can bring Matthew back to us?”

Anna froze and asked, “What? Do you mean Wayne’s getting engaged to someone else? To who?”

Anna wasn’t sure whether he would marry her or not. Even if Wayne would, then that was before. Since they’d had such a terrible breakup, it would be hard for them to get back together. Besides, they couldn’t get along as well as they used to and thought of getting married. Anna could not accept the fact that Wayne didn’t seem to trust her, but she was unable to be completely truthful with him.

Anna found herself in a dilemma. She thought, Maybe I shouldn‘t have dated Wayne in the first place.

Anna then said with mixed feelings, “Okay, okay. Don’t be upset anymore, dear. As soon as I get custody of Matthew, I’ll take you back to America. I swear to you.”

Tammy nodded. She was still overwhelmed with the sadness of knowing that Wayne, whom she adored and respected, was marrying another woman. As she felt angry, she even thought about asking Matthew to get a new father as well.

Lemon got off to a good start after a while. Not only did they open an online store, but they had sold out all the three collections they launched.

However, there was always a downside to their success. While the company was doing well, it was bound to face peer competition and brand infringement issues.

Anna was discussing a trip to Seriel City for a fashion magazine reception with Andrew when her assistant handed her a sample of the latest sample of White, a clothing company.

“Miss Gabriel, look! This new dress from White is almost identical to ‘Autumn Leaves’, the dress of our second collection! They’re totally the same, from the color scheme to the fit. All they did was change the collar! They’re infringing!”

Anna frowned after looking at the picture and asked, “Get a lawyer to handle this.”

Without glancing at the image, Andrew stated calmly, “No, it won’t work. There are always some copycats in the fashion industry. You know, people in this industry are used to it. Numerous people will produce counterfeit versions of a dress as long as it is popular. You know you can’t sue each and every one of them. Not only will you get no results, you’ll waste your time.”

Still frowning, Anna asked, “What? So, can’t we do anything about it?”

Andrew gave her a calm look and said, “Oh, there is one way: You can have a big battle with them. But Anna, this company belongs to the Carousel Group.”
