Chapter 505: Chapter 507 Happy Family

Two months later.

Tammy approached Anna as she came down the stairs in her coat and asked, “Where are you going, Mommy? Daddy is bullying Matthew.”

Anna glanced at the living room and found Matthew and Wayne playing chess face to face.

“You’re going to lose again, Matthew/’ Wayne’s face was calm, but he spoke in a smug tone.

Hearing that, Tammy couldn’t help but comment, “Matthew, you’ve already been defeated several times. You may have to perform a hundred push-ups if you lose again’’

“They’re making a bet?” Anna was surprised “Yes, Matthew has already lost many times. | will get a camera and record him doing his push-ups later,” Tammy chuckled.

Anna had a brilliant idea when she realized how sympathetic Tammy appeared to Matthew. In Tammy’s ear, she muttered something. Upon hearing her words, Tammy became excited. She dashed toward them, leaning over Wayne’s shoulder and shouting, “Daddy! I’m so bored.”

Wayne turned to face her, and his solemn expression became tender. “How about | play video games with you after | finish playing chess?” he suggested “I want to play the game right now.” She sat on the wooden floor, dragging Wayne’s arm, so Wayne had no choice but to get up.

“Would you like to sit next to me and watch me beat Matthew?” He asked. 506 Happy Family Tammy’s eyes shone brightly. “OK!” she said loudly, winking toward Wayne’s back.

“Are you going to the hospital now, honey?” Wayne noticed Anna standing behind him and he asked.

“Yeah, I’m leaving right now.” Anna smiled sweetly, but her eyes were cunning.

Wayne was in a much better mood when he saw Anna smiling happily. With a gentle smile, he reminded her, “Bye, Anna. Don’t forget to pick up Grandpa tonight. Ryan and Emily will be home soon as well.”

‘‘Allright, I’m leaving,” Anna said as she walked away.

Matthew said impatiently, “Don’t play dumb, Dad. It’s your turn now.”

“Who moved my pieces?” Wayne asked in surprise, looking at the chessboard.

“No one,” Matthew said innocently. Tammy, who was sitting next to him, thought to herself, You did it, Matthew! But I’m gonna keep it a secret for you because you’re my brother and I love you.

Later on, Anna drove to the hospital. It was Christmas Eve, but there was no holiday spirit inside the hospital. With a sigh, Anna walked straight to the ward she was familiar with. She then knocked on the door, and Johanna opened it quickly, saying, “Anna, come on in.”

Anna followed Johanna into the ward, where she set the gifts she’d brought on a table. She took off her gloves and scarf and said, “You look great! You’re doing well now, aren’t you?”

Johanna drew a chair beside the bed and poured Anna a glass of water. She sat back on the bed and patted the chair to invite Anna to take a 506 Happy Family seat. “The doctor said | should be able to leave the hospital in a couple of days,” she explained.

After Bill died, Johanna was desperate. As a result, Anna was worried about her. And she felt much more relieved seeing Joanna become noticeably better and more energetic than before.

“So, what are your future plans? Do you want to go back to the village?” Anna asked.

“I haven’t thought about it yet, and | don’t plan to return there. Back then, I donated all the money and snuck back to the village because | wanted to die too. If you hadn’t found me then, | would’ve been dead now. | thought you’d hate me for what Bill did,”

Johanna said as she lowered her head.

“I hate Bill, but that has nothing to do with you. Besides, if you hadn’t given the police evidence, maybe I’d still be in jail. If you don’t want to go back to the village, you can work for my husband’s company or mine. You can live well in this city with your salary.”

Johanna shook her head and said, “I appreciate it, but I still want to leave Birmingham. I’d like to start over somewhere else.”

“Feel free to contact me if you need any help,” she said, clutching Johanna’s hand.

On her way home, Anna took Peter with her. As she got into the car, she checked her phone and discovered that she had received a photo from Isabella. In the photo, the Maldives’ water was blue as sapphire, and Isabella and Jasper were standing together. They appeared to be well-matched.

Anna called Jasper immediately. Over the phone, he sounded relaxed, which was unusual for him. And Anna couldn’t help but chuckle as she heard his words. “I’ve heard your incredible story at least a hundred times! 506 Happy Family | didn’t expect you to leave so soon. Did you cancel your adoptive relationship with Isabella?”

“I’ve already submitted the application, and it should be completed within a few days.” Jasper sipped an iced drink and nodded slightly toward the girl waving at him from the beach in the distance. He was wearing sunglasses, but he couldn’t conceal the fondness in his eyes.

“OK, | gotta go. I’l call you later.” Anna said. Her phone had just hung up when it rang again. She checked her phone and saw that Ryan had called her several times. As a result, she rushed back home.

When she returned home, she saw her family sitting happily together at the table with many dishes.

“Mrs. Wright is back,” the maid announced.

Everyone looked up as Anna emerged from the yard. She entered the house, removed her heavy down coat, and proceeded to the table.

When Emily saw Anna, she moved to the side. Anna said, shaking her head, “Thank you, my dear. You can ask Ryan to get you whatever you want to eat.”

Emily smiled, rubbed her bulging belly, and looked at Ryan. Ryan immediately nodded and giggled. Seeing that, everyone burst out laughing.

“Come on, let me take a family picture of you,” Henry said, holding a camera in his hand.

Everyone stood up and took a seat next to Peter. Soon after, each Wright received this family photograph.

“How nice it would be if life could be this peaceful all the time,” Anna murmured as she snuggled into Wayne’s arms and fondled the flattened photo.
