Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 546 It’s A Misunderstanding

“Ma’am, please don’t get me wrong. I don’t even know him!” Alicia exclaimed, her eyes widening

“What are you talking about?” Anna asked, surprised, “I haven’t said anything, my dear.”

“What are you doing here, Mom?” Matthew asked

“Your Uncle Ryan and I said someone called the cops to arrest you, so I came to see you,” Anna explained. As she noticed the swollen lump on Matthew’s forehead, Anna exclaimed, “Matthew, what happened to your forehead?”

Without answering Anna, Matthew cast a glare at Alicia. Under his glare, Alicia felt so guilty that she wanted to run away. Here comes his mother. I’m so screwed! I have no chance to be with him anymore… she thought to herself

Lowering her head, Alicia whispered, “Ma’am, I’m sorry.”

After seeing the little girl’s pajamas, Anna realized she might live there. Then Anna panicked even more and thought, = What? You’re living here with Matthew?! You’re still a teenager!

Thinking of that, Anna questioned Matthew, “What is going on here, Matthew? What are you doing?”

“Huh? What?” Matthew asked, puzzled

“Why do you have a girl living in your house?”

“Mom, I don’t live here, remember?” Matthew frowned

“I know you sometimes live here. The point is, you don’t seem to respect this girl at all! Matthew, you can’t do that!”

545 It’s A Misunderstanding “Ma’am…” Alicia couldn’t help but interrupt her

However, Anna kept on saying, “Don’t worry, I will take responsibility for this. Where do your parents live, girl? I’d like to go meet them.” Alicia’s eyes widened in surprise as she realized Anna had misunderstood the situation

Matthew sighed and said, “Huh? No! It’s not what you think, Mom.”

“I’ve seen you living with this girl!” Anna exclaimed anxiously. She then sighed and appeared to be blaming herself. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault

I should have been more concerned about your life, Matthew.”

At that point, Alicia realized she couldn’t remain silent any longer

She said, “We’re not really living together, ma’am. Your son and I have just met.”

“Huh?” Anna went completely still

“Mom, I told you,” Matthew said calmly to Anna

Then, scratching her nose, Alicia explained awkwardly, “I’m Amber’s… Oh, Tammy’s new…”

“She’s Tammy’s friend,” Matthew cut in, giving her a wary look

“Can either of you two explain to me what this is all about?” Anna asked while crossing her arms

Matthew interrupted Alicia by saying, “I came here to deliver a package to Tammy. I had no idea Tammy’s friend was staying here for the time being, so I walked right in. I thought she broke into her house, and she thought I broke into hers. So, we called the police

“Is that it?” Anna asked, frozen

Puzzled, Matthew looked at his mother, and said, “Yes, that is all

What else do you think it could be?”

Hearing Matthew’s explanation, Anna felt relieved. She told Alicia, “I’m really sorry. I got the wrong idea about that.”

Shaking her head, Alicia said, “No, I should apologize for it. Before I hit him, I didn’t even ask who your son was.”

“It’s fine. That’s not serious at all.” Anna spoke calmly

After hearing this, Matthew looked surprised because he knew Anna was acting as if she didn’t care. She had to make a big deal out of every time he was hurt before. And he couldn’t figure out why Anna said that

While Matthew was still wondering what had gotten into Anna, Alicia said, “His forehead is swollen and has bled. We should take him to the hospital.”

“Is it bleeding? Oh, it’s not serious. He just scraped the skin there. I’ll take care of his wound later,” Anna cast a glance at Matthew’s forehead and said

“What? We don’t have to go to the hospital?” Alicia asked in surprise

“That won’t be necessary. I’m a doctor myself.” Anna then took the medicine box from the coffee table. “You don’t sound like a local, do you?” Anna asked Alicia while cleaning Matthew’s wounds

Alicia froze because that sounded vaguely familiar. After surveying Anna’s pretty face, she realized Anna was somewhat familiar. Then she asked, “Ma’am, have we met before?”

Anna misinterpreted what she was saying. She said, “Is that so? Maybe it’s because of our fate. See, you and my son met because of fate, too. Maybe we knew each other in a previous life, so we’re meant to be family in this life.”

“What are you talking about, Mom?” Matthew asked, frowning

After sparing a quick glance at Matthew, Alicia asked Anna, “Did you go to the airport yesterday?”

“How did you know that?” Anna asked, frozen Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Alicia’s eyes sparkled. “Yesterday, I dislocated my arm,” she said, holding up her arm

It wasn’t until then that Anna remembered that they’d met before

Surprised, Anna said, “Oh my goodness! It’s you!”

Alicia exclaimed excitedly, “Wow! It seems we do have a special bond

I’ve been dying to find out where you work because I owe you so much!”

With a gauze on his forehead, Matthew asked coldly, “And that’s how you would like to express your gratitude to her? By attacking her son?”

Hearing that, Alicia looked embarrassed. To her surprise, Anna did not blame her. Instead, Anna asked Matthew, “Why are you treating her with such an attitude?”

Smiling, Anna and looked at Alicia before saying, “Sorry, Matthew is just joking. Please don’t take it personally. How do you and Tammy know each other, by the way? Did you go to the same school?”

Alicia froze and looked at Matthew, waiting for him to save the day

“What are you doing staring at Matthew? Are you and Tammy friends?

How come I’ve never seen you before?” Anna took Alicia’s hand in hers and asked

“Tammy switches schools all the time, so you definitely didn’t have the chance to meet all her friends,” said Matthew

Huh?” Anna was lost in thought. Just as she was about to ask another question, someone opened the apartment door

“Matthew!” Tammy yelled as soon as she walked in

In response, the three people on the couch rose to their feet. Among them, Alicia practically jumped off the couch. She muttered, “You’re finally here!” Thank goodness you showed up just in time, Tammy! Otherwise, /’II be screwed! I can’t handle Matthew’s hostile demeanor and your mom’s questions on my own! Alicia thought to herself

The moment she saw Anna, Tammy asked in astonishment, “What are you doing here, Mom? Aren’t you supposed to be at the hospital? How is Aunt Mona doing?”

“Why didn’t you tell your brother that you allowed your friends to stay here? Do you realize how much confusion you’ve caused them?” Anna grumbled

“My… friend?” Tammy asked, surprised. She didn’t realize what was happening until she noticed Alicia blinking desperately at her

“Oh… Yes! Alicia is one of my friends. She only moved in yesterday, so

I haven’t had a chance to tell Matthew about that yet. I’ve been so preoccupied with rehearsals since then that I completely forgot about it.” After finishing her words, Tammy drew Alicia behind her and then went to see Matthew’s injuries. Then she squeaked, “Holy crap! You got a wound on your forehead? Does it hurt?”

“I’m fine,” Matthew said, sighing helplessly, “Let’s go, Mom. The girls need some rest.”

“All right, let’s go.”

Before leaving, Anna asked Alicia again and handed her a note with her phone numbers on it, “Are you okay? Here’s my phone number.

Please contact me if you need anything.”

“You should leave, Mom. I’ll tell Alicia your phone number later,” Tammy said

After Anna and Matthew left, Tammy leaned against the door panel and let out a long sigh of relief, saying, “That was close.

“Yeah, and I’m sorry for what happened. So, what should we do now?” Alicia said nervously
