Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 505

505 | Should've Killed You

At that moment, Anna thought she would remember this image for the rest of her life.

Wayne stood there, tenderly and fondly looking at her. They were only separated by a busy street, and they could see each other. It appeared to be nothing out of the ordinary as if it were just a husband picking up his wife from home and taking her home.

Step by step, Anna approached him, and he extended his hand to her. They then clutched each other's hands tightly. Though they had much to say to each other. Instead, they didn't say anything and just hugged each other. By pressing their palms together, Wayne and Anna expressed the emotions they had suppressed for a long time in their own unique way.

Wayne held her tight as if he never wanted to let her go. He eventually calmed down after a while. "Anna, let's go home/’ He spoke in hushed tones as if he was about to cry. Deeply touched, Anna buried her face in his chest and then nodded

"Ahem. Mr. Wright, we can't leave the car here for too long." Noel, who was in the driver's seat, suddenly said.

Hearing that, Anna and Wayne let go of each other's arms and smiled at each other. And Anna laughed as she opened the door and climbed into the car. She turned around after getting in and asked Wayne, "Why are you the only one here? Why didn’t Peace come with you?"

When Joshua visited Anna in the detention center, he always mentioned how Peace and Karl worried about her. Therefore, Anna assumed they would come to pick her up today as they were eager to see

her. Surprisingly, neither of these two showed up. Then Anna began to 504 | Should've Killed You suspect that Joshua had lied to her earlier to make her feel better.

Inside the car, Wayne put his warm palm against Anna's cold hand and put both of their hands in his coat pocket. "I told them you weren't coming out until tomorrow," he said calmly.

"Do you know how Peace will treat you when she knows the truth?" Anna asked, blinking at him.

"They'll see you the next day. It's the same thing.” He frowned as he spoke. And Wayne thought, Peace has been barging into my office and cursing me almost every day recently. Thank goodness she isn’t here today, Otherwise, she will scold me all the way.

Anna appeared to know what he was thinking and she said, "Peace has been bothering you a lot these days, hasn't she?" She smiled as she leaned her head against his shoulder.

"That's right," With that, Wayne nodded and somehow thought of Jasper at this point. "Jasper's back here, too," he said.

"Really?" Anna's eyes were closed, and she looked a bit sleepy. "Let's have dinner together after Isabella returns," she said and nodded slowly.

"Okay," Wayne gently kissed the top of Anna's head and said. He clutched Anna's hand in his pocket tightly until he had warmed it.

A short while later, they returned to their house. When Anna got out of the car, she was surprised to see the servants lining up in two rows at the

front door, with Henry at the front. He even had tears in his eyes when he saw Anna walkin.

Then a maid emerged from the kitchen carrying soup. When she noticed everyone seated, she exclaimed, "These horrible things have finally ended! Mr. Wright, Mrs. Wright, you'll be able to have a family reunion once Tammy and Matthew return.” She paused, realizing she had 5041 Should've Killed You said the wrong thing, and then sadly said, "Peter and Isabella will both be fine, and God will bless them.”

"What's wrong with Isabella?" Anna asked, setting down her fork.

When the maid looked up, she noticed that everyone except Anna was staring at her and shaking their heads. She escaped the dining room in terror without another word.

“What's the matter?" Anna asked Wayne.

Hearing that, Shirley shuddered violently. Her case for murdering Frank had already been tried, and she couldn't refute all of the evidence presented by the court, Then she roared madly to Anna, "Your father died because he was ill! | had absolutely nothing to do with his death!”

That was what Shirley had told herself for the previous five years. If no one had discovered evidence that she had murdered him, she could have continued to deceive herself like that until the day she died.

When the prison guards noticed Shirley was manic, they rushed to check on her. Shirley immediately calmed down when she realized he was

about to take her away. She gently begged the guard, "This is my stepdaughter, and she may never come to see me ever again. Please allow 504 | Should've Killed You me to talk to her a little longer.”

The guard hesitated before letting her go and stepping aside. Free from their grasp, Shirley picked up the phone again, covered the receiver with one hand, and said viciously, "I should've killed you as well, Anna. | regret that | didn't kill you!"

Not intimidated by her words at all, Anna said bluntly, "You wouldn't have gotten that insurance money even if you had killed me. | was testing you when I told you my father had bought accidental death insurance. I've long suspected you were the one who murdered him. In fact, his insurance was just regular critical illness insurance, and | received the money from it five years ago. You thought you'd get the money if you killed me and proved that my father’s death was an accident. You're so naive! Didn't your lover, Howard Baker, tell you to do this?"

"What exactly did you say?!" Shirley was immediately shocked and enraged. She struggled but failed to stand up.

Anna gave her a cold look and sarcastically said, "We wouldn't have been able to find evidence that you poisoned my father if you hadn't tried to steal the insurance money. You won't be charged with attempted murder this way. You're going to die in jail! By the way, your lover had already sold your assets and fled before the incident.”

"Go to hell, b***h!" Shirley slammed the phone down in her hand, shouting. And the prison guard immediately took Shirley away.

While watching Shirley slap the glass like crazy, Anna put things on the table back into her bag with ease, thinking, Rest in peace, dad, I've taken revenge for you. And don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
