Chapter 199
Wendy held her breath and heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from inside.
The security door was opened from the inside. In addition to the light flashing, there was also Charlie's handsome face. He was wearing a home suit, and the bandage on his right calf seemed to have been removed.
His short hair was slightly messy, as if he had just got up from the bed.
Wendy pointed at him and said, "You..."
"What's wrong?" Charlie asked flatly.
Wendy blinked her eyes."... Didn't you move?"
"Who told that?" Charlie still asked calmly.
"..." Wendy swallowed. "You haven't come back for a long time, so, I thought..."
"The water pipe burst a few days ago, and the floor and wall tiles were soaked in water. I couldn't live until yesterday when the maintenance personnel repaired it." Charlie interrupted her.
"Well, I see..." Wendy understood. She looked down and couldn't help asking, "Is your calf okay?"
Hearing this, Charlie also looked at his right leg.
"You have a fracture. Are you really OK like this?"
"You care about me so much?" Charlie raised his eyebrows. Wendy was embarrassed and dared not to look into his eyes. He faltered, "It's normal for friends to care about each other..."
"The doctor said it's okay," Charlie said with a slight smile.
"Well..."
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"...Uh?" Wendy looked at him blankly.
Charlie put one of his arms on the door frame, and there was a hint of tiredness in his deep eyes. "If there's nothing else, I'm quite sleepy now."
She nodded and after a while, shook her head.
Then, the security door closed, the footsteps inside were getting farther and farther away. Wendy stood still for a few seconds before she remembered to go back her own home.
After work in the evening, Wendy went to the supermarket.
Because it was a day of discount, she got off the bus in the middle and wanted to buy some daily necessities and discounted goods.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the supermarket. She pushed a shopping cart and walked in.
Charlie [Hogg] went back to the house opposite her, so every night his window was lit with warm yellow light. But now he did not take the initiative or take the opportunity to approach her as before. They just occasionally met and said hello when they went to and from work.
Unconsciously, Wendy found that she parked her shopping cart in the fresh product area, with fresh beef bones in front of her.
Charlie's bone was injured, the beef bone soup would be a great tonic for him to drink ...
After realizing what she was thinking, Wendy hurriedly put down the bone that she had picked up. However, she quickly put it back in the food bag again. It didn't matter if she helped make soup for a friend, right?
After Wendy finished selecting the beef bones, she pushed the cart to the vegetable area and wanted to pick some.
When she picked up a bunch of spinach, someone beside her reached out at the same time.
This scene seemed familiar to Wendy. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the person and then she was stunned.
Unexpectedly, there would be such an amazing coincidence. She quickly withdrew her hand and wanted to push the cart away quickly, but the other party did not seem to think so. Instead, she smiled and asked, "Haven't we met before?"
"Er..." Wendy stopped.
She deliberately pretended to be confused.
"Right!" Sunny looked at her and seemed to think of something. "Last time in the bookstore, we took the same magazine, didn't we?"
Seeing this, Wendy had to nod. She didn't expect to meet Charlie's fiancee again in such a short time. She was also surprised that Sunny would come to such a place, especially this vegetable and fresh area. She dressed more low-key than last time in order to cooperate with this occasion.
Sunny's smile became brighter. "What a coincidence! I didn't expect that we read the same magazine last time and picked up the same vegetables this time. It seems that we have the same taste in some aspects!"
It was a ambiguous sentence. Maybe Sunny didn't have special meanings, but Wendy thought much.
Wendy clenched the shopping cart in her hand and was ready to leave with a nod.
"Are you alone?" But Sunny asked suddenly.
"Right..." Wendy nodded.
"If you don't mind, let's go shopping together?"
Wendy pursed her lips and refused while shaking her head, "Maybe next time... I've already done shopping. I'm ready to pay the bill."
"That's just right. Let's go together!" Sunny said after hearing Wendy's words.
She blocked all Wendy could say, and Wendy had to force herself to follow Sunny to the cashier.
There were a lot of people in line, and they were at the end.
Sunny asked, "May I ask your name?"
"Wendy Lim..." She replied.
"Miss Lim." Madge smiled and introduced herself, "My name's Madge Sunny Gray. You can call me Madge or Sunny, whatever you like! However, everyone in my family calls me Madge, only my fiance's father always loves to call me little Madge!"
Wendy listened silently. Both Sunny's appearance and name were all beautiful.
Sunny, although, did not directly say anything, she indirectly mentioned her fiance. Wendy couldn't help but think of the time when Charlie's father looked for her to drink tea, he said with a serious
face that she didn't qualified enough to be with Charlie. To Madge, his father should be very kind...
After paying the bill, Madge naturally went escalator with Wendy.
Wendy noticed that she was holding two eyecatching cookbooks in her arms. It seemed that Madge also noticed Wendy's sight. She explained with a smile, "I don't know how to cook, but I'm going to learn it recently! Maybe I really don't have the talent to cook. I mess up every time. I just picked these two cookbooks, and I hope they will be helpful!"
"Miss Lim, you've bought so many vegetables and meat. You must be good at cooking, right?"
"Not bad..." Wendy said.
"Obviously you are a good cook. If there is a chance,
I hope I could learn from you!" Madge maintained a gentle smile all the way, and her tone was also very soft. "It's said that to keep a man's heart, you should first keep his stomach! Don't laugh at me, I also think so. I want to work hard to learn cooking so that I can be a competent wife after marriage!" "Well..." Wendy nodded perfunctorily.
She felt a faint pain in her temples, especially when she looked down and saw the beef bones in the bag. She suddenly felt very ironic.
"I just returned to China so I don't have many friends. Once I meet someone, I will always become talkative. Miss Lim, don't mind me!" Madge said this with an apologetic look. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Wendy shook her head.
When the escalator finally arrived the first floor, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth were a little stiff.
"Miss Lim, where is your home?" Madge looked at her with a smile. "My driver is waiting for me on the side of the road. I could send you home by the way, shall we?"
"No, thank you..." Wendy refused without thinking.
All of a sudden, the fire alarm in the building rang.
