Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

516 Lost in Maldives

Everyone arrived in the Maldives around noon. As soon as she stepped out of the airport, Anna felt the warm tropical sunshine.

Before leaving, they had already changed into their holiday clothes in the airport's dressing room. Many people on the street were staring at them as they walked out together. Not only were all four adults good looking, but so were the adolescent girl and the two children.

Later, all of them met Jasper at the airport in his Lincoln Stretch Limousine.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have a lot to prepare for your wedding?" Anna asked after getting into the car, smiling as she sized Jasper up.

Jasper looked very relaxed in a brightly colored Hawaiian shirt and pants. However, the outfit was clearly not his style at all. And Anna knew Isabella had bought him the shirt and convinced him to wear it. Sitting in the passenger seat, Jasper had to turn around if he wanted to talk to his friends. He said, "I have nothing to do, but Isabella has a lot on her plate. She asked for my help and said she was waiting for you to clean up her mess."

"Really? Even a competent man couldn't handle them all?" Leaning forward, Peace asked. At that moment, Peace was leaning in between Anna

and Wayne, the wide brim of her straw hat directly blocking Wayne's eyes. So, Wayne leaned uncomfortably against the car window. Then Jasper said, "She's still a young girl, so she's always coming up with new ideas. In the morning, Isabella became dissatisfied with the setup 515 Lost in Maldives again and is now having it torn down and redone."

Peace raised her hat brim, stretched her neck, and said, "Is she undergoing pre-wedding anxieties? Well, if that is the case, I quite understand her. After all, she's in her early twenties and she has a lot to figure out. So, Jasper, I have to warn you ahead. She might be a runaway bride."

Frowning, Wayne couldn't stand it any longer, asking Peace, "How about I switch seats with you?" Then he blocked the brim of Peace's hat with one hand.

"No problem," Peace said. She immediately nodded and crawled from the last row to the second row on her hands and knees

Wayne then made his way to the last row and sat next to Karl, who was staring out the window sadly because he was left out by his wife. As soon as Peace sat next to Anna, she said, "Isabella's far too impulsive. You have the responsibility to tell her to stop, Anna. After all, you're her former adoptive mother."

Originally, Anna was amused by their conversation. As soon as she heard this, however, she stomped hard on Peace as she was a bit angry with what she said.

"Ah!" Peace let out a painful scream.

Hearing Peace screaming, Anna thought, What the hell are you talking

about? Thank goodness Wayne is in the back row and didn't hear anything you said, Peace.

"Ifyou keep talking nonsense, I'l tell Jasper the truth," Anna said, glaring at Peace.

"What are you talking about?" Jasper asked, puzzled.

Smiling awkwardly, Peace wiped her leather shoes with her hands and

said, "Nothing! Anna was just joking with me. You're right. Isabella does 515 Lost in Maldives

have a temper. I'll speak with her later." Afraid Anna would tell Jasper that she had given Isabella some ideas if she became angry, Peace winked at Anna.

Jasper had no idea what was going on while Anna knew everything. 'She knew that Peace was the main reason for Isabella's pre-wedding drama.

Previously, Peace insisted on Isabella having a big fight with Jasper before the wedding so she could see his craziest side. That way, Isabella would know how to get along with him after getting married

To Anna's surprise, Isabella was convinced by Peace. She began arguing with Jasper about a month ago and caused a lot of trouble. Anna tried several times to persuade them to stop, but they didn't listen to her.

Then Jasper said as he rubbed his temples with one hand, "You don't have to say anything to her. Could you please help her with the preparation? The wedding is tomorrow, and I'm worried she won't make it ontime."

Peace tried to say something else, but she stopped as she felt Anna's glare.

You're the one who caused all of this trouble, so you should be the one to clean up this mess, Anna thought while glaring at Peace.

About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a luxurious resort hotel. Anna and Peace had just gotten out of the car when they noticed a young boy in a suit standing by the hotel door.

"Tammy!" the boy exclaimed, waving a large bouquet of roses. He was

dressed like a gentleman. The boy, who looked charming and cute, resembled Karl a lot.

Both Anna and Peace were shocked as they looked at each other. 515 Lost in Maldives

"What the hell are you trying to do again, kiddo?" Peace asked, frowning.

Anna squeezed her hand to calm her down before asking softly, "Did you forget what I told you?"

Hearing that, Peace forced herself to hold back her anger. Later, right after Karl got out of the car and stood behind them, Peace stomped him hard. The next second, Karl fell back into the car in pain before he could say anything

Tammy was the most composed one. She just carried her tablet and walked straight to the hotel.

"Tammy, this is for you!" Martin exclaimed as he ran up to her and handed her the bouquet of roses.

Tammy looked calmly at him, then at the roses. "What are you doing with the flowers?" She asked coldly. Martin froze and then quickly responded, "I'm here to welcome you!"

"Aren't you hot in that suit?" Tammy asked, then walked toward the hotel without looking back at Martin.

Hearing that, Martin was not deterred. He handed the flower to the bodyguard and then quickly followed Tammy. He asked, "Are you thirsty, Tammy? I've got drinks ready for you."

"Thank you, I'm good."

"Ive also got some delicious food for you. I've checked the map, and I found many good restaurants nearby. I'll take you to a fancy restaurant this afternoon."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not available."

"When are you going to be free?" 515 Lost in Maldives

"I have games to play this afternoon."

"May I join in?"

"You? Nah."

Peace was about to lose it as she watched her son chase Tammy into the hotel. She would have publicly stripped her son of his suit if Anna hadn't intervened. "Karl!" Peace yelled angrily.

"Yes?" Karl jumped out of the car and stood up straight. He began to break out in a cold sweat.

Peace gave him a vicious glare and said, "Take a look at your son! Did you teach him to coax girl like that?"

"To be honest, he's our son."

"What did you just say?" Peace asked in anger.

Apple, Peace's daughter, was shivering with fear. She muttered to Wayne, "Uncle Wayne, Mommy is going to be furious. Let's go!"

'Anna and Wayne exchanged glances before proceeding cautiously to the hotel.
