Chapter 287

Ryan’s mother remained silent for along time.

Ryan exclaimed eagerly, “What’s wrong, Mom? | didn’t do anything wrong, and he has no idea who |
am. | was just wondering if you wanted to meet with him. He doesn’t appear to be as cruel as you
think.*’

His mother said, slightly embarrassed, “Oh, no. | actually met with him during the summer.*’

Ryan froze and asked, “Have you met him? Where? Tell me!”

“Well, I, I’m cooking. And, there are guests waiting for me to serve them breakfast! I’m going to hang up
now, bye.** She then hung up the phone.

Ryan then took a deep breath and felt frustrated.

Ryan knew that everyone had some secrets that they wanted to keep hidden. When what happened in
the past was brought up, they would become flustered and overwhelmed.

When applying to universities at that time, Ryan selected all those in Birmingham. He remembered
feeling as if there was a magnet in the city that drew him to it when he first arrived there.

However, he had no idea he would meet Wayne by chance.

After that day, the weather forecast warned everyone to take precautions to avoid getting the flu for a
week in a row.

Wayne first had a fever and then got the flu.

Ryan became infected after caring for him for two days.



While Anna was disinfecting the house with a mask, Ryan wrapped himself in a blanket and coughed
on the couch, saying, “I need to return to school tomorrow for a lecture. A well-known professor from
America is visiting our school.”

Anna gave him a sidelong glance and said, “Well, | think you’d better not go. I’m afraid you’ll infect that
professor. Stop going out these days, Ryan’’

“Tammy and Matthew, what about them? What are they supposed to do?” Wayne asked, sitting on the
opposite side of the couch. Because he had a terrible cold, his voice was extra hoarse and low.

Anna sighed dejectedly, “Oh, I’ll bring them to my aunt’s house later. However, my uncle told me that
two of his nannies had a cold over the phone this morning. And their entire family is busy spraying
disinfectant everywhere.”

Ryan said, “Oh, well, then they’re probably infecting each other. Is there anywhere else the kids can
go?”

Anna stood straight with her mop and said, “Unfortunately, I’m afraid no. Peace and Karl are in the
United States, and Andrew works every day in the office to prepare for the competition. Besides, |
doubt he’ll be able to take care of the kids. Well, let’s forget about Scott and Randal.”

“Why? | think their house is nice, and they also have nannies at home.”

“Oh, they’re off to Bali.”

“Wow! They are on their honeymoon.” Ryan laughed

Anna walked to the bathroom, untied her apron and gloves, and put on a coat. She then said, “Tammy,
Matthew! Let’s go.”

The two kids then bolted from the room.



Anna put medical masks on them for fear of infection, and they also put on their yellow hats. Both kids
looked at Anna with big blinking eyes.

“Okay, kids, go stay with great-aunt Selina for a few days. Ill pick you up and bring you home after
these two guys recover.”

Both kids nodded and walked out the door, holding Anna’s hand and dragging their suitcases behind
them.

Anna’s phone rang just as they entered the elevator. After seeing who was calling, Anna froze for a
moment before answering.

“Henry, hi. What can | do for you?”

After Anna and the two children came downstairs three minutes later, they saw a black Rolls Royce
parked in front of the door.

Then they saw Henry standing in front of that car.

When Henry saw them, he approached them, saying, “Hello there,

Miss Gabriel. A lot of people have been getting a cold lately, you know. Peter was concerned about
Matthew and asked me to pick him up and take him home.”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Anna felt someone’s leg clinging to her. She lowered her head to see
it was Matthew.

“Henry, you can take Matthew away. But, as you can see, he really doesn’t want to go with you. I’ll drop
the kids off at my aunt’s place, and | believe it’s relatively safe there.”

“I heard that there are already two nannies with the flu at her house, right?”



Anna frowned, thinking, Peter, you seem to know everything! I didn’t expect you to know that my aunt’s
nannies were ill. Well, it seems that you’re eager to get Matthew home.

Anna realized she couldn’t say no, so she let Matthew go and tried to.

persuade him, “Hey, honey. You heard Henry, someone at my aunt’s house has a cold, too. So, you
should go home with Henry.” Matthew shook his head in horror, wide-eyed, and exclaimed, “No!”

•Anna was caught in a quandary. She explained to Henry, “I can’t make him do something he doesn’t
want to do. | know Peter doesn’t like me, but I can’t force Matthew to leave me.”

Henry paused for a moment before responding, “Peter isn’t doing this to make things difficult for you,
Miss Gabriel, if he didn’t like you, he Wouldn’t have come here with me. In fact, he didn’t want to blame
you because you didn’t do anything wrong. He was simply annoyed with Wayne.”

Peter’s here?” Anna asked, looking at the car next to her.

Anna turned around and saw Peter sitting in the car. He looked at the two children through the car
window and seemed to miss them terribly.

Anna paused for a moment before looking up and saying, “Well, Henry, could you please tell Peter
something for me? | know he’s mad at Wayne, but I need to tell him something. So, can you help me?”

Henry froze and said, “Did Wayne talk to you about it?”

“Yes, | already knew what had happened,” Anna replied.

Henry immediately nodded and returned to his car.

He briefly addressed Peter before returning to Anna and saying, “Get in the car. Miss Gabriel. It’s
freezing in here.”



“Let’s go, kids,” Anna said, nodding.

They then went to a cafe close to Anna’s house.

Anna and Peter sat across from each other at the table, each holding

a cappuccino. Peter appeared dissatisfied and said, “To be honest, | don’t quite trust you. Well, Henry
told me that If! didn’t listen to you, you wouldn’t let me take Matthew away. And here we are.*’
