Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

225 How Ungrateful You Are

“Fortunately, she isn’t seriously hurt,” Gabe instantly explained after observing Wayne’s annoyed expression.

“She shouldn’t bite off more than she can chew,” Wayne grumbled as he remarked on Anna’s actions.

He stood up after closing the folder. “Which hospital is she in?” he said as he put on his jacket.

“Huh?” Gabe then was puzzled. He felt regretful right away and wished he could go back in time and beat himself up.

I shouldn’t have been a blabbermouth! I’m so screwed, he thought to himself.

“I was just asking which hospital she is in.” Wayne glanced at Gabe, then impatiently repeated his question.

Gabe stammered for a few seconds, and then replied, “She’s…well; she’s not in any hospital.”

“What? So, where has she gone?”

“Well, Jasper took her away.” Hearing that, Wayne looked even more irritated.

When Gabe saw Wayne’s sullen expression, he felt terrified. He then asked, “Mr. Wright, are we still going out?”

“Of course,” Wayne said, his fists clenching.

Gabe asked, puzzled, “Oh? Really? Well, where should we go? You know, Miss Gabriel isn’t staying in a hospital. Is it okay if we go to Jasper’s house? In fact, I don’t believe we should. How about you give her a call in advance?”

“What are you talking about? Do you mean there’s nothing more I can do but search for her?” Wayne asked in a frigid tone. He gave Gabe a threatening look.

Gabe laughed awkwardly and explained, “Oh! No, that’s not what I meant! All the ladies in town know you’re an attractive man, Mr. Wright. So, where are we going?”

“I’ll just go there by myself. You don’t need to follow me.” Wayne said sullenly and left.

Jasper took Anna and Tammy to a famous fancy French restaurant downtown. The wonderful tune of the Blue Danube filled the lobby, creating a romantic atmosphere.

Before leaving the house, Anna took off the bandage on her head and applied a Band–Aid to the wound. Then, she covered it with her hair.
