Chapter 65
“Hey, Anna It’s me.” The voice of a young man came from the other end of the line.
“I know,” Anna said gently, “I have your phone number. You said you would come back from · abroad after finishing your performance. Have you decided when you will come back?”
“Yes.’
“When? I’m not busy in the following days, I’ll pick you up at the airport if I have free time”
Thank you. But don’t bother.”
“All right” Anna said with a smile. “You are a popular and famous violinist and the Mr. Medreamy in our country now. There will be a lot of people who want to pick you up.”
“But Mr. Mcdreamy is going to live on the street as a vagrant. Anna, I need you.”
What do you mean by living on the street?” Anna asked in surprise. Turn around”
Hearing this, Anna turned around and looked in the direction of the gate of the Carousel Hotel
Then she saw a young man carrying a huge cello case with a suitcase beside him. He was looking at her with a bright and innocent smile.
The young man opened her arms and shouted, “Surprise!”
Anna was stunned at first and then she smiled. She trotted out of the hotel in her high heels, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Hey! When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me about it before?”
“I’ve just come back. I spent more than forty hours on the plane. I’m so tired now.”
“You may have a rest and we’ll have dinner together later,” Anna took a look at her watch and said. “I’ve finished my work and I can get off work early today. Wait a minute. I’ll pack up my belongings first
“Hold on.” The young man stopped her, then suddenly held her hand and pulled her into his arms.
“What are you doing? It’s so hot,” Anna said as she struggled.
The young man rested his chin on her shoulder like a spoiled child and said in a pleasant voice, “I’m charging myself. I’m about to be out of power and need to charge myself by hugging
you
*Scott, how old are you? Why are you still so childish?” Anna patted him on the back and said helplessly
“I just came back and have no place to stay.” Scott said to Anna with a pitiful look on the way to pick up Tammy
“Come on. Didn’t your orchestra arrange accommodation for you?” “I’ve quit the orchestra,” Scott blinked his eyes and said. “The job in the orchestra is too easy
and the salary is low. So I quit it. I’ve been signed by a new company.”
“Your contract with the orchestra hasn’t expired, right?” Anna frowned and asked. “I remember that not long ago you told me that your orchestra would come back to prepare for a concert.”
“Yes, the contract hasn’t expired so I paid the liquidated damages and compensate for the loss of the concert. I have no work to do in the new company so I have no money. Anna, I’m homeless now. The only one that I can rely on is you. Please take me in.”
Hearing his words, Anna thought, He doesn‘t seem to be lying. Scott has never made a decision impulsively. He would rather pay such a large sum of liquidated damages than continue to work in the orchestral, which means that something must have happened to him.
“Did something happen to you?” Anna asked with concern. “No,” Scott said carelessly and waved his hand. “Nothing happened.” “Don’t hide anything from me,” Anna said.
“I’m telling the truth. I’ve been fighting in the underground boxing ring since I was ten years old. No one dares to bully me. Don’t worry,” Scott said lazily as he took one of Anna’s arms and naturally leaned his head on her shoulder.
Then he changed the topic and said, “I’ll have a nap first. Wake me up when we arrive at the kindergarten.”
Seeing his tired look, Anna sighed helplessly and then helped him fix his collar with the other hand.
Scott was two years younger than her and always took her as his sister.
He always showed a smile and looked happy. And sometimes he would act like a spoiled child.
But Anna knew that he would never be able to get rid of the bloody memories of the past and that most of the time he was just pretending to be happy.
“Mommy!” After Anna waited at the gate of the kindergarten for a while, Tammy rushed out and held her legs.
She raised her head and said happily, “Mommy, have you finished your work? You got off work so early today.”
Anna nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve finished all my work. So we’ll go back to our home today.”
“What?” Tammy was stunned and showed an unhappy look as if what Anna had said was a big blow to her. Then she pouted and asked, “Can’t we live in Uncle Wayne’s house all the time?”
“Of course not,” Anna said.
Wayne, who was being pulled by Matthew and walking towards Anna, happened to hear their conversation and was slightly stunned. Then he asked, “But you still have to be busy with the celebration these days.”
Anna nodded and said, “Yes. But I won’t busy as I’ve been in the past few days and I can get off work on time every day. Thank you for taking care of Tammy for me in the past half a month.

Then she remembered that the clothes and daily necessities of Tammy and her were still at Wayne’s place so she added, “I’ll go to pack up our belongings at the Kingsford Neighborhood on Saturday.”
Hearing that, Matthew became anxious and unhappy. He kept pulling the hem of Wayne’s suit while glaring at him.
Tammy was also unhappy. She lowered her head and murmured, “I want to play with Matthew.”
Anna looked at her with a frown, pretending to be angry. When she was about to say something, Scott’s voice came from behind them. “Tammy, long time no see,” he greeted Tammy with a clear and
pleasant voice. In an instant, Tammy’s eyes brightened. She cheered up and threw herself into Scott’s arms.
“Scott!”
“Little Tammy, do you miss me?” Scott asked. “Yes! I miss you so much!” Tammy said. “I miss you too. I have brought you many gifts. Do you want to have a look?” “Yes!” Tammy said excitedly. Seeing her cute look, Scott chuckled and picked her up. Tammy was so happy that she giggled.
Scott was in his early twenty’s. He was wearing a white T-shirt and black trousers, looking energetic and handsome. The breeze gently blew the hair on his forehead, making him look more charming. Many young girls on the road were attracted by him and some of them even took photos of him with their mobile phones.
Seeing Scott lift Tammy up, Anna reminded him, “Scott, don’t lift her too high. It’s dangerous. And Tammy, I’ve told you many times that you should call him Uncle Scott.”
“No, he’s my brother! He’s young. Why should I call him uncle?” With an excited smile, Tammy said as she held Scott’s face and kissed him on the face. “Scott, don’t leave us anymore!”
“OK. And from today on, I’ll live with you and your mom.” Scott winked at Tammy and said smilingly. “Tomorrow is Saturday. Feel free to tell me if you want to go out to have fun.”
Seeing this, Matthew pulled the hem of Wayne’s suit more anxiously.
However, Wayne just looked down at him and said in a cold voice, “It’s obvious that she likes her Uncle Scott more than you. Let go of my clothes. Let’s go home.”
Hearing that, Matthew glared at him with his face flushed with anger.
