Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand Chapter 542 The Family Gathering

“Aunt Emily, where did you go on your mission this time? Last month, | saw on the news that special
forces were rescuing hostages in Ireland. Did you go there? Have you ever seen any drug gangs?
What do the drug lords look like?” Tammy kept asking questions as soon as she saw Emily

Anna handed Tammy a glass of orange juice and asked, “Will you shut up for a minute? Emily can’t tell
you that because these are top secrets

Why are you asking so many questions, by the way?”

“Aunt Emily can’t talk about it, but that doesn’t mean | can’t ask her about it,” Tammy said, shaking her
head

“Please don’t tell your classmates about this, or you’ll get your aunt in trouble. Do you know how strict
the army’s discipline is?” Shaking her head helplessly, Anna said

“Okay, okay. | already know that. | never mentioned that my aunt is a soldier at school. Will you please
stop nagging, mom?” Tammy asked mockingly

Then Emily said with a smile, “Thanks. | missed you guys terribly when | was away. Let me propose a
toast to all of you for helping me take care of my child.”

“And your husband,” Natalie added, winking

Hearing that, Ryan gave Natalie a stern look and said, “That’s nonsense! | don’t need anyone else to
look after me!”

“Didn’t | take care of you last month when you had a fever?” Natalie questioned

“How dare you mention that! | asked you to bring me a glass of water,



but you gave me hot water! | got a blister on my tongue, and it hasn’t even healed now!”

“You’re blaming me now? Why didn’t you say that when you were weakly lying in bed?” Natalie asked
loudly

Knowing the argument between them might ruin the family gathering, Anna made a “stop” motion and
said, “Ryan, Natalie, Emily is still giving us a toast right now. Will you two be quiet?”

Feeling awkward, they immediately stopped arguing. Everyone then raised their glasses to Emily. After
that, Emily asked how things were going at home. “Is everything all right with Peace? | haven’t seen
her in quite some time.”

Anna responded with a nod, “She’s all right. They are still our biggest source of gossip .”

After noticing that Matthew had been silent, Emily asked him, “Are you still working at the group,
Matthew? Are your wounds healed? “

Matthew nodded, his serious expression mirroring that of his father, who sat beside him. “I’m almost
recovered, thank you for asking,” he replied

Anna felt heartbroken as she thought of his injury. Then she said, “I told him not to go to the
construction site alone, but Wayne said it would help him become more independent. He got injured
just as he stepped to the construction site.”

Matthew said, shaking his head, “I’m fine, mom. Aunt Emily’s job is much more dangerous than mine,
but she has never complained about ee

Emily said, “To be honest, I’m exhausted and even want to retire now

Matthew, you’ve always been a considerate boy, right? Oh, by the way, do you have a girlfriend yet?”



“My brother is only fifteen years old now and doesn’t have a girlfriend yet. However, some of us are old
enough to get married. Right?” Tammy asked, elbowing Natalie next to her

Then Everyone turned to look at Natalie. Under everyone’s gaze, Natalie had grease stains on her
hands and face as she ate a chicken wing with her head down. She was licking her fingers when she
noticed everyone staring at her. And she asked, “Why are you all staring at me? I’m not in a rush to get
married. I’m still young!”

Anna yanked Wayne’s sleeve from beneath the table, reminding him it was time to speak. Natalie was,
after all, his aunt

When Wayne realized Natalie’s hands were full of grease, he frowned at her. “Forget it. It’s none of my
business,” he whispered

Surprised, Anna lowered her voice, “What? Mr. Carter has already discussed this with us. He didn’t
appear to be joking.”

“Mr. Carter is old, so he’s maybe confused,” With a shrug, Wayne answered carelessly

“| think maybe you’re confused!” Anna retorted

When Jennie noticed Anna and Wayne muttering with their heads down, she asked with suspicion,
“What are you two talking about? Who is Mr. Carter?”

“Nothing,” Anna replied, raising her head up

Sensing that Jennie was looking at him with suspicion, Wayne explained calmly, “Last month, Anna,
Natalie, and | went to Mr. Carter’s house for his birthday party. Mr. Carter later asked if Natalie was
seeing anyone.”



Taken aback, Jennie asked while handing a tissue to Natalie, who choked on water just now, “Anna, is
Wayne telling the truth?”

Anna nodded, “Yes. Mr. Carter has a son named Harry, and he is now the family group’s chairman.”

The next moment, Peter cut Anna off before she could finish her sentence. “No, I’m not going to agree
to that,” he said

“Why? Have you ever met Harry, Dad?” Jennie asked in surprise

Unhappily, Peter said, “I’ve never met him, but I’m not going to agree to Natalie marrying him. He
doesn’t seem to be proposing this because he thinks Natalie is a good girl, but for another reason. I’d
rather she marry a normal guy. We are different from the Carters because we do not need to rely on
our children’s marriages to help our family business.”

“Actually, the rumors aren’t always true. | still think you should meet Harry before making your
decision,” Anna said

“No, | would never disagree with that. None of you have the authority to decide Natalie’s marriage but
herself,” Peter put down his fork, “So, don’t bring this up again. I’m tired now, so please excuse me.”
Then Peter stood up and was ready to leave

Seeing that, Anna was about to say something, but Wayne cut her off

And Natalie, who noticed that her dad was upset, dropped the chicken wings, wiped her mouth with a
napkin, and ran away, saying, “I’m not marrying anyone, Dad. I’d like to spend the rest of my life at
home. Don’t listen to them!”

Later, Peter and Natalie walked out of the dining room. Ryan sighed and said, “| knew Grandpa
wouldn’t approve of the proposal.”



Frowning, Jennie asked, “Ryan, you know about this as well? How come no one told me of it?”

“| wanted to mention it, but no one asked me about it,” Ryan sighed

Having put her glass of water down, Anna said, “I’ve met Harry a few

times and think he seems like a nice guy. Yet, Grandpa believes he wants to marry Natalie for the
money. However, | quite understand why Grandpa is opposed to the idea. After all, Harry was divorced
once and has a child with his ex-wife.”

Jennie exclaimed immediately, her eyes widened in astonishment, “Huh? Natalie will become a
stepmother to his kid if she marries him.”

Emily nodded, “Isn’t that a pain in the neck? Natalie can totally marry a young man her own age.”

“| don’t think it seems right either,” Jennie said, nodding

Anna couldn’t explain it because she thought it was too complicated

However, when she talked to Harry last month, she noticed that he seemed to have known Natalie for a
long time. He wasn’t doing it for the Wrights’ money, as Peter assumed

Knowing what was going on in Anna’s mind, Wayne patted her shoulder and said, “Well, maybe you
should stay out of this. You’ve only met Harry a few times and don’t know him very well. How do you
know if he’s doing it for the money?”

Anna nodded, thinking he had a valid point. She thought, They are right. | shouldn’t bet on Natalie’s
happiness for the rest of her life gB Melina Levine a“
