Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 196

196 What Brings You Here?

A white Land Rover roared was roaring on the road in North Town, a small remote fishing village.

Wayne was about to arrive at the location Karl had sent him.

In the light of headlights, he saw a car parked on the far corner. Under the light, the silver Audi logo on the car’s rear glistened.

Wayne’s heart skipped a beat as he slammed on the brakes.

When he quickly walked over to that car, he found no one inside. He noticed that the hood of the front of the car was up, and the

bumper was torn apart. As Wayne looked around, he saw a streak of dried blood on the ground.

At that moment, he felt his heart had plummeted into an abyss, and he was on the verge of collapsing.

“Anna!” He snarled at the barren wasteland. The only thing that responded to him was the chilly, howling wind that blew across the

mountains.

The blood on the ground looked hideous and gruesome. Wayne’s legs were weak, so he slowly crouched while gripping the hood. His

fine suit pants were smeared with blood and dust as his knees touched the concrete pavement.

The moonlight gleamed on the puddle of blood, reflecting his pale face. As much as he tried to keep his sanity, he couldn’t help but

think of the worst case scenario.

Wayne regretted all the things he had done. He clenched his fists and wanted to punch himself.

God! Anna would not have resigned and started her own business if I hadn‘t gotten angry with her and hurther so deeply! Nothing would have happened if she hadn‘t left the hotel! Wayne thought to himself.

“Wayne! What brings you here?” Wayne heard a gentle voice coming from above his head like a ghost. Then, he was stunned.

When he looked up, he saw Anna standing in front of him with an astonished face. Also, she looked totally fine.

Anna just left the place and walked around, trying to find a signal. However, she didn’t find it even after walking for half an hour.

When she found that her phone was almost out of battery, she was afraid that she would be in danger. So, she instantly rushed

back.

However, she didn’t expect to see Wayne on his knees, shouting in agony.

What the heck? Anna thought to herself.

She was in a daze when she felt the cold mountain breeze wrapping around her, and the smell of Wayne’s unique hormones

surrounded her.

She immediately struggled, but she was no match for Wayne’s strength. Wayne ignored her but held her tightly as if he never wanted

to part with her.

“Thank god, you’re hurt,” He said.

Although Anna was confused, she still let him hold her tightly anyway.

Meanwhile, the waves rattled against the rocks and the cool evening breeze blew on them.

After a long time, Wayne let go of her and said sullenly, “Anna, it’s dangerous to drive at night.”

Anna was also a little angry after hearing his words. She didn’t expect Wayne to say such words after hugging her for so long.

“Wayne, are you nuts?” She said.

Alew hours ago, she was driving through a curve when a goat suddenly rushed by. At that moment, Anna was not focused on driving because she was talking to Peace on the phone.

After noticing the poat, she steered sharply, but she collided with a van in front of her.

She thought it was okay to hit that car because she only had to pay the compensation. Besides, most car owners had insurance for

the Cars, which made it very convenient. However, the van owner was scared and worried that Anna would make him pay for the

damage of her car.

The owner walked out of his car sorrowfully. He looked at Anna, and said, “Oh, your car must be quite expensive! I’m sorry, but I

don’t have enough money to pay you.”

“Oh, don’t worry. I’m the one who hit you, and I’m the one who should take responsibility.”

Hearing that, the man breathed a sigh or relief and accepted Anna’s compensation,

“And what happened then?” Wayne asked.

Anna drank the hot coffee Wayne had poured from the thermos, and the warmth warmed her palms. She then grabbed the bread

Wayne handed her and thought to herself about how well prepared he was,

“Finally, I suggested that we wait for his insurance company to compensate him. But, he insisted that he didn’t need

compensation. We then talked for a while, and I gave him a hundred dollars. And, his car looked just fine after being crashed like that. But

my car was completely broken down.”

Anna became a little indignant at the thought of it. She thought, His car cost a fraction of what mine did, and I didn‘t expect it to be

so sturdy!

Wayne asked, “What sort of car did he have?”

“Oh, I’ve forgotten. I believe it was just a typical one.”

Anna felt a lot better after she finished her coffee. The weather in North Town was strange, with bright sunshine throughout the day

and a chilling wind at night. She felt that if Wayne didn’t find her tonight, she might die on this road.

“Oh, hey, you didn’t tell me how you got here.” Anna looked at Wayne suspiciously.

Wayne simply explained that Peace had told him to rescue her. He could find her so quickly because he happened to be in that town

on business.

“Wow! Really? What a coincidence!” Anna asked, sniffling.

The cold wind kept blowing while she was just walking around looking for a signal. As a result, she felt as if her nose had blocked up

and she couldn’t breathe.

Wayne looked at her and asked, “What? Anna, what do you mean? Did you think I was following you?”

Anna raised her eyebrows. She didn’t say anything, but she made her thoughts clear through her expression,

Annoyed, Wayne said, “Hey! That’s ridiculous! I’ve been quite busy lately, and I don’t have time to track you down to this shithole!

Would I let you get into a car accident if I was following you? Would I appear in front of you two hours after the accident happened?”

When Anna saw how irritated Wayne was, she realized that he wasn’t always obnoxious when he lost his cool. It all depended on

what he was mad about.

Anna murmured before lowering her head to drink her coffee, “It’s not like I hit that car on purpose,”

Hearing that, Wayne was irritated. He had done so much for Anna, but she didn’t seem to appreciate it. He felt gloomy right away, as

if he had something shoved in his chest. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Two hours ago, he drove his car as fast as he could since he thought Anna would be in an accident. He drove so rapidly that he felt

like he was flying

Wayne knew that he was speeding a lot, which was quite dangerous, but he just couldn’t care less. All he had in mind at that

moment was to find Anna immediately.

And when he reached her car and saw the puddle of blood on the ground, he felt as if the world had crumbled.

However, what annoyed Wayne most was that Anna just sat next to him at ease as if nothing had happened. She simply drank her coMee and ate her bread. So, it made him the only one who was indignant and annoyed.

“Wayne,” Anna murmured, her voice trembling.

Wayne asked as the pretended to be aloof, “What?”

“Oh, can you send me your phone? I want to call Peace. I think she must be very worried about me.”

Wayne handed her his phone directly.

When Anna took his phone, she suddenly held his index finger.

The warmth of her palm passed to the back of Wayne’s hand. At that moment, Wayne froze. He looked down and saw Anna

surveying his finger carefully.

The next second, she pressed his index finger on the fingerprint lock. Then, his phone was unlocked.
