Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

254 Running away From Home

Wayne asked calmly. “Grandpa, are you doing this to make things difficult for Charlotte or me?”

Peter yelled in annoyance, “What are you talking about? I’m not trying to embarrass Charlotte! Her mother has repeatedly expressed her desire for you to marry her. If you agree, the wedding can take place straight away! Be a man, would you?!”

“Oh, it seems that you have no idea about this. Actually, Charlotte is returning to France at the end of this month. Plus, her whole family is emigrating there except for her brother. So, you want me to settle in France with them, right? I think it’s quite a nice place.”

Peter’s face went red with rage. He instantly stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Finally, he marched back to Wayne, smacked the table hard and shouted, “Damn! I don’t care whether she’s in Paris or Birmingham, Wayne. You must get married by the end of the year!”

“Does it mean I can marry anyone as I like?”

“Yes, except for Anna Gabriel.”

Wayne then looked around the room, drew Natalie out of the corner where she was eavesdropping and said, “So, I’m going to marry her. You‘re familiar with Natalie, aren’t you, grandpa?”

Natalie’s eyes widened in amazement, and she trembled all over. Peter became pale with rage and cursed, “What the hell are you talking about?! How dare

you!”

Henry was also taken aback by Wayne’s bold words.

To prevent Peter from becoming more enraged, he said, “Please stop kidding, Wayne. Natalie is still a kid. What you’re doing is not only illegal but also incestuous.”

Wayne replied calmly. “We‘re not related because she’s Grandpa’s adoptive daughter. Plus, have no option because Grandpa forced me to marry this year. So, if you don’t mind, I can wait until she reaches eighteen. How old are you, Natalie?”

Natalie was perplexed, then froze. Wayne then tightened his grip on her slim arm and pressed her to respond.

“L.. Thirteen,” she stammered.
