Chapter 280
He took a sleeping pill last night and fell into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes, it was past eight o'clock. When he came out of the bedroom, he saw the door of the opposite room was open. The quilt on the brick bed was neatly folded, and there was no one in the room. The first thought that came to his mind was that she went back by herself!
Wendy didn't expect him to have such a big reaction. She was stunned and explained, "I went out for a walk, and stopped by the shop to get something we can eat in the morning..."
"Well." Charlie frowned and nodded.
"Uh..." Wendy looked down at the steamed buns in her hand and asked for his opinion, "I can make two poached eggs for breakfast, with seaweed and egg-drop soup, or vegetable soup?"
Hearing this, Charlie said, "Don't be so troublesome. Just cook a bowl of noodles."
Wendy was stunned and asked uncertainly, "... noodles again?"
"Yes." Charlie pulled his lips.
Wendy replied with an "oh" and walked to the kitchen with her lips pursed.
There was still a lot of noodles left last night, which could be used for breakfast. She cut the steamed buns into slices and fried it with a layer of egg. In the end, she ate all the steamed bun slices. Charlie ate two bowls of noodles, including soup.
Last night, Wendy had asked for help from her neighbors. So when some neighbors went to the town for business, they brought back a small bucket of gasoline, which was just enough for them to drive the Land Rover out of the countryside and hold on to the gas station at the entrance of the town.
Not long after breakfast, the two of them were on their way back to the city.
When they entered the city, the horn of cars sounded one after another. Wendy opened her eyes in a daze and realized that she had fallen asleep.
Charlie, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was making a phone call. It seemed that he was engaged in some business and social activities. He frowned and answered with a serious look on his side face. He promised that he would be there later.
Wendy asked Charlie to drop her on the side of the road, but he insisted on sending her to the apartment building.
She pushed open the car door and walked to the front door of the apartment building with her bag.
But inadvertently, she looked back and saw that the white Land Rover did not leave immediately. With the engine on, Charlie was watching her entering the building with his side face to her. This scene reminded her of four years ago...
Wendy panicked in her heart and quickened her pace into the building. The white Land Rover was parked in the yard. Charlie pulled out his car key and walked into the villa.
The light in the restaurant was on, and Aunt Lee's voice came out. He changed into slippers and walked over with one hand in his pocket.
Just as he expected, there's a lot of nutritious food on the table. Larry was sitting on the children's dining chair, and Aunt Lee was standing next to Larry, holding a bowl and spoon in her hand. She was coaxing Larry, "Young Master, the beef is delicious, try some!"
"No!" Larry was obviously not interested.
Aunt Lee continued to lobby him. "Then have some vegetables. Young Master, you need more vitamin!"
Larry still shook his head, and didn't even look at it.
"Sir, you're back!" Hearing the footsteps, Aunt Lee turned back quickly.
"Yes." Charlie replied calmly.
Larry was sitting on the children's dining chair, pouting, and looked very upset when he saw his dad.
His dad showed him pictures of the countryside taken on his phone, with mountains and water, and one with pretty flowers in it. It was obvious that his dad ask Aunt Lee to watch him not go out, but went to find Wendy himself...
His dad was a bad guy, stealing his thunder.
Larry deliberately didn't look at his dad, treating his dad like air. Aunt Lee held the bowl and fed Larry for a long time, but there was no progress. She had to look at Charlie for help. "Sir..."
Charlie nodded and took the bowl from Aunt Lee, but he didn't feed Larry immediately. Instead, he used a spoon to stir the beef and vegetables inside, and looked at his son who was doing that cool pose, slowly raising his eyebrows.
"You don't want to eat?"
"No!"
Charlie pulled out the chair next to him and sat down with his long legs crossed. "Would you like to eat noodles?"
"Is it cooked by Wendy?" The eyes of Larry suddenly lit up.
"Yes." Charlie pulled his lips.
Larry immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "Yes! I want!"
During the day, he asked Aunt Lee to take him to Wendy, but Wendy said she's not home when he called her. So he had to stay at home and play with cards.
Charlie looked at Larry who was so excited and almost jumped out of the children's dining chair. He put the bowl on the table and said slowly, "If you want to go, follow Aunt Lee to go upstairs and get dressed!"
Hearing the words, Larry spontaneously got out of the children's chair and ran upstairs, pulling Aunt Lee's hand.
Looking at the little figure of Larry disappeared from the stairwell, Charlie took out a cigarette and lit up. He was in a good mood and spat out the smoke.
At the same time, Wendy took back the clothes hanging on the balcony, stacked them out neatly, and prepared to send Emily's to her bedroom.
As soon as Wendy pushed open the door, Emily walked out of the room quickly. She changed her clothes and looked as if she was about to go out.
After saying Goodbye to Wendy, Emily left in a hurry.
Wendy told Emily not to come back too late. After putting Emily's clothes on the bed, she turned to the living room and turned on the TV with remote control. She was ready to find an online drama to watch. However, just after an advertisement, someone knocked on the door.
At first, she thought that it must be Emily who left something behind, so she asked in confusion, but there was no movement outside.
She was confused, got up and walked over. When she saw the person standing outside clearly through the cat eye, her heart skipped a beat.
It seemed that they were standing there patiently waiting for her.
Wendy bit her lips for a long time before she opened the door with hesitation.
In the open field of sight, Charlie's tall figure stood at the door. He wore a black hand-made suit, which outlined his broad shoulders and long legs. With his back facing the light, his angular face looked deeper, especially his eyes. He held Larry in his arms who wore a suit of the same color as his.
"Wendy-" Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
When Larry saw her, he immediately stretched out two short arms.
The soft child's voice was like a magic spell, and Wendy hesitated to reach out her hand.
Larry stepped on Charlie's chest and threw himself into her arms. He hugged her neck tightly as if he hadn't seen her for a long time, like a puppy, he repeated, "Wendy, Wendy-"
"You..." Wendy opened her mouth.
"Sorry to disturb you!" Charlie pulled his lips and frowned slightly. His tone was mixed with helplessness. " Larry refused to eat and insisted on eating the noodles you cooked, so I had no choice but to take him to you."
Larry in Wendy's arms took a sidelong glance at his dad.
It was his dad who tempted him
with Wendy's noodles.
A huge grievance!
Wendy felt that her temple throbbed twice. Noodles again...
