Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 288

288 Do You Want to Know the Truth?

After taking a sip of her coffee, Anna said, "Matthew is your great-grandson, so there is absolutely no way | can stop you from taking him away.”

"Great, I'm relieved now that you know that," Peter grumbled.

"Actually, | believe that you and Wayne should resolve your disagreement soon. Otherwise, you'll make the two kids feel awkward and embarrassed.”

Peter glanced at Henry, who was standing beside him, and said, "Oh, it seems that Henry has told you everything”

Henry remained silent, and Anna nodded. She said, "Henry did it so that I could help you reconcile with Wayne.”

"What? Do you think you can really do that?"

Anna replied earnestly, "No, | didn't think so. That's why I declined him."

Peter frowned, but he didn't appear as distressed as he had been before.

He said, "Okay, | understand what you're trying to say. However, you cannot fix our problem. I've never mentioned it in the last few years because | didn't want to face the problem. You see, Wayne's been getting on my nerves lately."

Anna said outright, "What are you talking about? Is it the fact that Wayne and | are in a relationship that irritates you? But, you used to be very supportive of us being together.”

Peter gave Anna stern look and said, "Well, that's because | had no idea you weren't divorced back then! | would not have done it otherwise.”

Anna said calmly, "So, I'll explain this to you in detail later. The most important issue right now, however, is resolving the conflict between you and Wayne. Do you want to know the truth about the incident that happened three years ago?"

"What did Wayne say to you?" Peter asked after a brief pause.

"Oh, don't worry; he said nothing about that to me. | discovered the truth for myself”

Anna then placed her phone in front of Peter, saying, "You can take a look at this. | had a detective go to Leeds earlier to look for the two nannies Who used to look after Matthew. He then asked them to record a statement. I will send you the recording later if you want to listen to them. But | don't have that file on my phone now."

When Peter saw those words on Anna's phone, his face became solemn.

"Mary and Kim previously affirmed that the young man at the Wright's told them to drug Matthew. As a result, | assumed that man was Wayne. You must be aware of this information, right? But | have a question for you."

"What do you want to say?"

"Did Wayne come to your house frequently from the time Matthew was born until the time of his accident?"

Peter appeared solemn and afraid when answering the question.

Henry chimed in, "No, he almost never returned home. He was having a cold war with Peter at the time.”

Back then, Peter was so angry with Wayne for finding a surrogate that he broke his promise to make him president of the group. As a result, they barely spoke to each other for the next two years.

Anna finally made the most critical point, "So, what is it that makes these two nannies so certain that the man is Wayne? They said they'd only seen him a few times at your house. Plus, they said almost every servant in the house knew the man was a member of your family."

Hearing that, Peter and Henry looked alittle surprised.

Anna was amused when she realized that Peter was referring to Wayne. The entire city knew Wayne was a genius in the business circle, but she hadn't expected Peter to think he was a smartass.

Anna explained, "My husband and | are actually just friends, and our marriage is a sham. Tammy is my daughter, and he is not her biological father.”

Anna only told the first half of the story. She knew that Peter appeared to believe that she was married because she had no choice.

Peter looked at her and then asked, "Oh? Does Wayne know about this?"

Anna was surprised and said, "Of course he does! How could he possibly be willing to date a married woman?" Peter paused for a moment before returning to his serious demeanor.

"Come on, he could have been confused by you, too,” he grumbled

Tammy slid down the slide at that precise moment. She smiled and stood on the groundjumping several times more.

"Wow! Tammy, great job!" Peter exclaimed as he smiled at her.

Tammy responded to Peter, "You don't have to compliment me! You're a very bad person!"

Tammy and Peter used to be very close. So, Peter froze and asked, "Then could you tell me what makes me a bad person?”

As she crossed her arms, Tammy said, "Oh, you're such a horrible man! | know you don't like my mom. FYI, many men are interested in her! She doesn't need to marry your grandson. Do you remember the deal we had made? You wanted a wife for your grandson and | wanted a father for myself. Now, the deal is off. You're a liar!"

Anna looked at them suspiciously before asking, "What deal? Tammy, what are you talking about?”
