312 I Donât Trust Her âIs she really a psychologist? To be honest, | believe we still need to see a few more doctors.â
Anna had been considering the treatment plan Sophia had suggested. Anna knew she was being ridiculous, but Sophia was so young that Anna doubted whether she was competent enough.
Wayne blinked hesitantly, saying, âDonât worry, sheâll never hurt Matthew. | swear to God she wonât.â
âHuh? Why? Have you known her for a long time?â Anna looked up at Wayne, stunned.
âAnna, thereâs something I need to tell you about Sophia,â Wayne said.
Hearing that, Annaâs heart skipped a beat, and she asked anxiously, âWhat is it?â
âSophia is Matthewâs biological mother,â Wayne said after another pause.
After saying this, Wayne looked into Annaâs eyes, curious to see how she would react.
Anna was taken aback when she heard Wayne say this âfact.â Her eardrums were vibrating like a drum being beaten.
After noticing Annaâs silence, Wayne explained, âI didnât tell you earlier because | was afraid youâd misunderstand me. | had long planned to never see her again after asking her to be a surrogate mother. The reason why | helped her was that | knew she was in a difficult situation. And you just heard what she said?â 3121 Donât Trust Her âYou mean her husband has cancer?â Anna forced herself to calm down before asking Wayne.
Wayne frowned and said, âYes, | asked Gabe to look into it earlier. She told me she didnât want any money because treating her husbandâs cancer costs a lot. Sheâll be gone in a year to attend college in the United States, so she wonât be here long. And she said that all she wanted was to see Matthew before she leaves.â
Anna took a deep breath as she shivered. She realized that this liar was quite clever.
Sophia had made up a tragic story to gain Wayneâs sympathy. Most people, in fact, would be unable to refuse such a request, knowing that she was that âunfortunateâ.
âDid you say yes to her then?â Anna asked.
Wayne had no idea what Anna was thinking, and he responded, âI only told you the truth because | didnât want you to get the wrong impression. | can assure you that Matthew will never see her again after that.â
Anna approached him and asked again, âWhat exactly do you want me to do? Please tell me.â
Wayne seemed to become irritated as he stared at her.
âAnna, you donât have to do anything,â he said.
When Anna noticed Wayneâs impatience, she clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned pale.
Then she said angrily, âYeah, youâre right. You did not request anything from me. You expected me to believe wholeheartedly that the woman who appeared out of nowhere was your sonâs biological mother. And youâre expecting me to agree to let Matthew live with her for a while.
ee ee ee ee, ee a ee en ee ee | 3121 Donât Trust Her right?â
Wayne froze as if he didnât understand why Anna was so emotional.
He frowned and said, âOkay, Anna, please stop. Youâre overreacting. Iâve told you about the surrogacy, and itâs a fact. So, if you still mind this, then thereâs nothing | can do about.â
Anna asked angrily, âWhat? Do you think Iâm overreacting? Let me ask you how you concluded that Sophia was Matthewâs mother. Have you run a background check on her? Is she really Matthewâs mother?â
Hearing that, Wayne stiffened.
Itwas at that moment that Anna believed she had hit the nail on the head.
But when Wayne showed her the photo of the paternity test on his phone, she almost broke down.
Tapping the screen, Wayne said, âGabe had Sophia tested for paternity at the hospital. So Iâm certain of it.â
Anna thought, As clever and cunning as she is, the liar would certainly fake everything perfectly so that she could put on a âgoodâ show.
But Wayne, why did you trust her so easily? How could a guy as smart as you be so stupid? Donât you know that nowadays itâs easy to forge a fake paternity test result?
However, she realized she couldnât convince Wayne to doubt the credibility of the paternity test.
Annaâs face gradually turned pale.
âAnna, whatâs wrong with you?â Wayne asked as he felt Anna was off.
Anna avoided looking Wayne in the eyes. And she did her best to 3121 Donât Trust Her appear calm.
She said, âOh, Iâm fine. In fact, | heard that paternity tests are not always 100 percent accurate. | believe you should consider doing another test. It might not be that simple to deal with Matthewâs matter. And we need to be patient and cautious about it.
Besides, there are so many good doctors in the world, so we donât have to let her treat Matthew.â
âI see. Youâre feeling bad because Sophia is Matthewâs mother,ââ Wayne said thoughtfully, frowning.
Anna clenched her fists so hard that her nails hurt her palms. She turned to Wayne and said, âOkay, go ahead and do whatever you want. Iâll say it again: | donât trust Sophia, and you canât let Matthew be with herâ
Anna then rose to her feet, ready to leave.
âWhere are you going?â Wayne asked with a frown.
âIâm going home. Bon appetit, Wayne Wright.â
With that, Anna took a deep breath, grabbed her coat, and left the private room.
She understood why Wayne made the decision. And she believed that if Sophia was Matthewâs biological mother, there was nothing wrong with her request.
But it was apparent to her that the woman was a liar. As a result, she Was unable to remain calm in this situation.
It was already dark when Anna left the restaurant.
Anna was walking alone down the sidewalk when her cell phone began to vibrate.
She assumed it was Wayne who was calling. To her surprise, when she checked it out, she found that it was Jasper. Then she answered it. 3121 Donât Trust Her = âWhat took you so long to answer the phone?â Jasper asked.
As she was walking, Anna absentmindedly kicked a pebble on the ground and replied, âOh, | didnât notice it until now. Whatâs going on?â
âNothing. Well, Peace just told me something about Matthew. How are you doing these days?â
Anna froze and exclaimed, âWhat a blabbermouth! â
âCalm down, Anna. She did it because she cares about you. She wanted to help you but she couldnât help you in person.ââ
Anna interrupted Jasper and said, âHuh? Everythingâs fine, and | can take care of my own business.ââ
Jasper froze and asked, h? So you still want to see the lawyer, right? Heâs been waiting for you in Birmingham for nearly a month now. Are you sure youâre not going to see him?â
Anna froze, unsure of what to say. In fact, she had resisted filing a lawsuit for a long time, preferring to marry Wayne instead.
However, she had recently realized that it might not be a good idea to marry Wayne.
She paused for a moment before responding, âThank you; Iâll see him tomorrow.â
âAnna, remember that no matter what happens, | will always have your back.â Jasperâs soothing voice put Anna at ease.
