Anna had mixed feelings when she realized that Peace had just been sarcastic. She felt that Peace meant that she was a scheming woman and was getting a lot of benefits from hiding the secret from Wayne. However, she was the only one that knew she was doing it because she wanted her kids to get along well with each other.
Then, Anna also began to doubt herself. She even felt a little uneasy when she met the two children at the Wrightsâ house in the afternoon. When she heard Peter compliment her on how well she treated Matthew, she even blushed.
Matthew is my own son, so surely, /âll be good to him. Anna thought to herself.
After lunch, Tammy and Matthew rested in Annaâs arms. Tammy couldnât stop talking and looked like she enjoyed the environment of the house.
âMommy, you havenât come here with Mr. Wright for a long time. What happened?â Tammy suddenly said.
âOh, heâs very busy. An accident happened in the hotel, so heâs got a lot to deal with.â
âBut why arenât you going to work?â
âBecause Iâve been on vacation lately, honey. Then, I can spend more time with you two. Are you glad about this?â
âOf course!â
Speaking of that fire, Anna turned her head and rested her chin against Matthewâs head.
She said, âMatthew, honey, Iâm so sorry. You were in the freezer that day, so I didnât see you. Iâm really sorry.â
Matthew had been quietly listening to the two of them. After Anna said this, Matthew immediately stood up and took his drawing board. He then wrote, âitâs okay! I know that if you saw me, you would definitely take me out.â
Seeing how cute and sensible Matthew was, Anna couldnât help but gently rub his head with relief and said, âMatthew, youâre a good boy. You know, Iâll never leave you behind.â
Matthew immediately wrote on the drawing board again, âReally???â
He showed a nervous expression and had written three question marks. He looked as if he really didnât believe that Anna would always be there for him.
âOf course.â Anna immediately reassured him. She didnât know why he was so worried, so she assumed that the fire had traumatized him. Then, she felt remorseful.
Tammy, however, sighed like an adult and said, âMom, Matthew is worried that Mr Wright will date another woman. Actually, Iâm womed about it too.â
Anna immediately froze. Then, the two children began to tell her what they thought about it. After that, Anna realized that the Wilsons had visited Peter several times in the past few days, especially Charlotteâs mother. Evelyn always came here and brought up Charlotte and Wayneâs previous engagement. Peter didnât want the kids to know about it, but then he realized he couldnât keep it to himsell anymore.
Matthew looked downcast. He wrote seriously, âNo, I donât want someone else to be my mom.â
Anna couldnât help butteelleartbroken when she saw his aggrieved and pitiful expression. So, Anna hugged him tenderly and said in cames. âNo, I wonât let anyone else be your mom, honey. But if that day comes, Iâll take you with me.â
Henry made a few phone calls aller walking out of Peterâs study. Then, before dinner, there were many cars parked in front of the house. Almost all of the people in Wrightsâ family had arrived.
âIs it some kind of holiday today? Why did he ask us all to come to his house?â
âI came here as soon as I got the call. I have no idea what was going on, and I thought you guys knew.â
âOh? So, did something happen to the company?â
âI remember that one of the hotels in the company was on fire. Well, I knew that we shouldnât have let Wayne run such a big company alone!â
Everyone was discussing. Meanwhile, a man, who was in his fifties, sat aside and did not say a word.
That man gave off a shady aura and looked very dangerous.
At this point, a middle-aged man lowered his voice and asked suspiciously, âDad, what do you think is happening? He hasnât called us for a long time. So, what does he want to talk to us about?â
The old manâs gaze turned somber as he listened to his son. He said unhappily, âWho the hell knows?! Just wait and see.
Anyway, I think Peterâs going to announce something very important to us.â
While Anna was sleeping, the maid knocked on the door and told her to go downstairs for dinner. Then, Anna woke the children up.
After she helped them freshen up themselves, she went to the first floor with them.
When they arrived at the dining room, they were shocked by the sight before them. The dining area was filled with people. At that moment, Anna thought she went to the wrong room.
âSir, Mrs. Wright is here.â The servant said, and his words drew everyoneâs attention. Then, they all began to whisper.
Everyone knew that Wayne was the only child in the Wright family. He was in his thirties, still unmarried, but had a child. And they didnât know who the childâs mother was.
âAnna, please have a seat here,â Peter said as he waved at Anna.
Anna snapped back into reality when she realized that everyone was looking at her. She then hesitantly walked over to Peter and took a seat with her two kids.
After that, she said cautiously, âGrandpa, Iâm sorry. I didnât know that you would invite so many guests here. How about we leave now and visit you later?â
âNo, you donât have to go.â Peter smiled and gave Anna a comforting look before standing up. He looked very energetic and confident.
âAttention, everyone. Iâm sorry that I suddenly made you come here today. Actually, I want to announce something. As you all know, Tonly have one grandson, which is Wayne. He is over thirty years old and still unmarried. He manages the company well, but Iâve always worried for him because heâs not married.â
As he spoke, Annaâs instincts told her what he would say. Then, she felt that her mind was in a mess.
âWell, you all heard the maid call Anna âMrs. Wrightâ, right? I think this is a good time for me to introduce her to you. Since Anna and Wayne are in a relationship, I should make this news public. Otherwise, Anna will think that we donât respect her.â
Everyone was surprised and began to discuss this.
A young man sitting at another table asked, âMr. Wright, are you saying that she is my cousinâs wife?â
âYes, They havenât had a wedding yet, but I think they are already a couple. So, allow me to introduce her to all of you. This is Anna Gabriel, the daughter of the president of Gabriel Group.â
Annafell anxious and was unable to speak. She knew that if she told them the truth, she would embarrass Peter in front of so many people. But if she didnât say anything, she felt reluctant. Besides, she and Wayne were still in a cold war.
She then realized the reason why Peter did it must have something to do with the Wilsons, who were always visiting him lately.
Peter was a snart man, and he must have known that Anna and Wayne were lighting. So, he did this to try to keep Anna around Sure enough, the older a person was, the wise they became, And then someone said to Anna, âMs. Wright, nice to meet youâ.
Hearing that, Anna immediately got goosebumps.
Then, almost everyone stood up and greeted her âMis. Wright, please allow me to loast you.â
Everyone was congratulating her. Then, Henry introduced them to her. Anna felt dizzy after drinking a few glasses of wine and couldnât even remember how she left the room.
