Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 27

“Who is Tammy Gabriel?” Ada blurted out the question.

Wayne glanced at her and answered indifferently, “The daughter of one of the employees.”

“Why do you need to read the medical record of an employee‘s daughter? Which employee?”

On hearing Ada’s words, Wayne closed the documents he was reading and put it on that medical record. He asked in a tone that brooked no argument, “Do I need to tell you each and every thing that I do?”

Ada looked stunned, “No, I didn’t mean that. It’s just a casual question.”

“You have too many questions.” Wayne said impatiently, “I still have a lot of things to do. We will have dinner with grandpa. We can directly go there. I’ll arrive on time.”

He was suggesting that she should leave now.

Ada immediately regretted that she had asked too many questions without thinking. She wanted to say something to make Wayne feel better, but he still looked very impatient, so she found an excuse and left the office. However, before she left, she somehow repeated “Tammy Gabriel” in her heart.

“Wayne took the initiative to help you get into the kindergarten?”

In the house of the Wright family, the old man was holding the phone and said energetically, “He has already tried to help your mom. It’s faster than I expected. It seems that our plan works well.”

The voice on the end of the phone was very childish, “Grandpa, thank you for telling me Uncle Wright’s location. Otherwise, I couldn’t let mommy and Uncle Wright run into each other in the restaurant.”

“I think that’s because your mommy is really outstanding and special. There are few women that Wayne is concerned for.”

“So you mean that mommy stands a chance of marrying Uncle Wright?” “Not a chance. Many chances.”

While they were chatting happily, the butler walked inside and reminded him, “Sir, the young master and Miss Xavier have arrived.”

The old man said happily, “OK, Wayne has come back. I’ll take the chance to ask him what he thinks about it. I’ll call you again, little Tammy.”

“Okay. Goodbye, grandpa.”

The cheerful voice in the phone had pleased the old man. He smiled for a long time after he hung up the phone.

“I really like that little girl, Tammy. If her mom marries into our family, our family will

become lively. And Matthew will have a companion.”

“Sir, aren’t you worried that the one who has her own child won’t care enough about other people’s child?”

“Haven’t you seen them in that Japanese restaurant? Tammy had a great time with Matthew, and her mom was attentive to him.”

The butler was a little relaxed when they talked about that day in the Japanese restaurant.

The old man wasn’t surprised that Wayne brought Ada home. Since he urged Wayne to get married five years ago, Wayne would take her back once in a while to shield himself from his urging. At first, the

old man thought they were really in a relationship. But after a long time, he knew that she was only his buckler.

“Why doesn’t Matthew come back with you?” The old man asked about Matthew at the dinner table. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Thinking of Matthew’s naughty behavior at home, Wayne slightly frowned and said, “He has a bad temper recently. I was afraid that he would annoy you.”

“The only one who will annoy me is you.” The old man shot an angry glance at him and said in a dissatisfied tone, “How can he have a good temper staying with a bunch of servants every day instead of a mother? If you don’t get married soon and find him a mother, he will possibly become a Hooray Henry. And that’s all your fault.”

At this moment, Wayne put down the fork and knife. “I have considered about it. You’re right, Grandpa, so I’ve decided to get married.” “Get married?”

Before the old man started getting excited, Wayne continued, “Sol bring Ada home to have a talk with you.”

“What?” The old man’s face changed, “You mean you want to get married to her?”

His face darkened. Wayne couldn’t understand him, frowning, and said, “Ada has been with me for many years. If you want me to get married, then I’ll do it.”

“Wait a minute.” The old man was a little confused. He thought for a while and calmed down, “What about Matthew? Has Matthew agreed with your marriage?”

Wayne answered resolutely, “The thing that I considered mainly about was Matthew’s opinion.”

“That’s impossible.” The old man was livid with rage and said frankly in front of Ada, “I don’t agree with it. I won’t say yes unless Matthew comes to me and tells me that he agrees with it.”

Wayne was a little surprised. He thought that grandpa would be happy if he told him that he would get married. Why was he so angry?

Ada’s face turned purple with anger, but she didn’t dare to show it. She tried to constrain her temper and said softly, “Grandpa, I will take good care of Matthew after we get

he grew up.”

The old man glanced at her and snorted coldly. He looked at the butler who was standing by him, “Henry, I want you to get Matthew here in person.”

The old mansion wasn’t far away from where Wayne lived. It only took half an hour for the butler to go there to pick up Matthew and come back.

Matthew flinched when he walked inside and saw Ada. He was a little timid.

The old man waved to him and said benignly, “Matthew, come here. Come to great grandpa.”

Matthew finally ran to the old man. “Your father told me that you wanted a mother. Is that true?”

Matthew shook his head, but when he glimpsed at Ada from the corner of his eye, he shivered and nodded.

Wayne was astonished at Matthew’s reaction.

“Matthew is too small to understand this kind of things. But he knows who is good to him.” Ada said and clapped her hands, smiling softly, “Come here, Matthew, come to auntie.

Matthew unconsciously shrank behind the old man.

The old man took it all in. He looked at Ada coldly, “You’re wrong. Kids can understand much more things that we expect. The way you communicate with them will determine what kind of people they will become.”

Ada forced a smile on her face and said awkwardly, “Yes, grandpa. I’ll pay attention to the way I speak in the future.”

The old man didn’t say more negative things. He looked at Wayne, “You’re thirty years old now. You didn’t hurry to get married before. Why do you have to be in such a hurry now? You have to think through everything before getting married. We should discuss this at some other time.”

“The old man has clearly expressed his disagreement. What else is left to discuss?” Ada almost dug her fingernails into her palms. However, Wayne seemed to have no special feelings about it.

All the people ended up in a bad mood after the dinner. Ada was supposed to leave with Wayne, but grandpa let her go first because he had something to say to Wayne.

“That cranky old man obviously won’t agree with me marrying Wayne. All of my efforts of going to the mansion to visit him have all gone in vain.” Ada pounded the seat the moment she got into the car.

The driver said, “Ada, don’t be angry. The old man can’t change anything if Mr. Wright insists on it. Don’t you know about Mr. Wright’s personality? When his grandfather forced him to get married and have a child a few years ago, he just randomly had a child with some stranger and then took Matthew back. Judging from this, I don’t think Mr. Wright cares about his grandfather’s opinion.”
