Chapter 22: Brother, When Did You Get Married?
Of course, Wendy’s gratitude could not be simply a single word of thanks.
That would seem too insincere.
So after Rex went to work, she bought a lot of groceries.
As soon as the butler saw Wendy enter the kitchen, he hurriedly followed her. “Mrs. Gavyn, you can’t do that. You’re the mistress of this house. You don’t have to do these chores yourself.”
“Uncle, don’t say that. Ahem, I……” Wendy said with a red face that she wanted to cook for Rex.
The butler immediately understood. “Then I’ll ask the head chef to assist you.”
“No, no, no.” It was a waste to ask the head chef to assist her.
In the end, the butler agreed to give the kitchen to Wendy under her insistence.
Wendy was born into the Walters Family, but she knew how to do all kinds of chores.
After she was sure that there was no one around, she began to knead the dough and cut the vegetables.
Through the butler, she learned that Rex should have arrived home on time at seven o’clock in the evening.
Wendy happily finished her meal at 6: 50 p. m. and brought all the food to the table in the dining room. During this period, the butler had asked for help time and time again, but she insisted on doing it herself.
Wendy sat in the dining room after 7: 10 p. m. and the smile on her face slowly froze.
The butler frowned. “Oh, master!”
“Mrs. Gavyn had finally been in the mood to prepare a feast today, but why didn’t he have the fortune to enjoy it?”
“Mrs. Gavyn, why don’t you give Master Gavyn a call?”
The butler leaned forward tentatively.
“Call?” Wendy frowned. “That’s not very appropriate…… What if your young master is still working?”
“Mrs. Gavyn, why don’t you understand? For a man, the family is always more important than work,” the butler said firmly. “If you didn’t call, Master Rex wouldn’t have known that you were waiting for her at home!”
Wendy hesitated.
The butler continued, “Don’t you think it’s a waste to pour out all the dishes on the table that you’ve worked so hard to cook?”
“Indeed……”
Wendy wavered.
Biting her lip, she stared at the table full of appetizing dishes and hinted to herself in her heart that she just didn’t want her goodwill to be wasted. She wasn’t really worried about Rex.
As such, Wendy took out her phone, but she found a difficult problem.
“Well…… Uncle, what is your young master’s phone number?”
Looking at Wendy’s innocent face, the butler almost fell to the ground. “The young master and madam actually didn’t have each other’s phone number?!”
Ten minutes later, Wendy nervously listened to the beeping on the other end of the line while holding her phone. As soon as someone picked up the phone, she said a little cautiously, “Mr. Ga……Mr. Gavyn, I’ve made dinner. When are you coming back for dinner?”
“Mr. Gavyn?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
A clear female voice came from the other side.
Wendy, who was holding the phone, suddenly froze, and a surge of heat rose from the bottom of her heart. “Was it a woman who answered the phone?”
“At his time?!”
When the receiver didn’t hear Wendy speak, she frowned and said, “You’re looking for Rex, aren’t you? He’s out. I’ll ask him to call you later.”
Wendy did not continue to listen and pressed the hang-up button with a loud clank.
The butler looked at her in confusion. “Mrs. Gavyn, what’s wrong?”
“I-I’m fine,” Wendy said with a pale smile. “Rex Gavyn was with a woman.” She thought.
“Uncle, I…… I’m a little tired. You can throw away these dishes.”
After that, Wendy pushed the chair away and went upstairs.
On the other side, Rosaria Gavyn tilted her head and stared at the caller ID.
The word “Honey” was clear and dazzling.
Rex had just gone out to see a doctor. When he came back, he saw Rosaria holding his phone. He turned his head and asked, “Who called me?”
Rosaria didn’t answer his question. Instead, she asked dully, “Brother, when did you get married?”
