"What's wrong?" Charlie raised his eyebrows.
Wendy shook her head in a trance. "Nothing..."
Aunt Lee, who went downstairs in advance, had already shouted downstairs, "Sir, young master, Miss Lim, it's time to come down and have breakfast!"
Just like last night, the three of them sat around the table.
The morning light came in from outside the window and spread in all corners. Aunt Lee looked at it in the kitchen and couldn't help but smile.
Although she knew that Mr. Hogg had a fiancee, she always felt that the young master was unhappy with his dad's fiancee. On the contrary, the scene in front of her was more like a family of three.
Larry was very angry, glaring at his dad. He's still angry at his dad for saying he wet the bed. But with the presence of Wendy, he's holding back. Besides, his dad got something on him, so he kept glancing sideways.
Seeing that Wendy kept lowering her head and eating her toast, he felt extremely wronged.
He's done. Wendy didn't like him anymore!
Wendy was still keeping thinking about that shaver, and didn't notice the pitiful expression of Larry in front of her at all. Finally, she swallowed her toast and put down the fork. "Well, I'm finished..." "I'll give you a ride later.1' Charlie picked up his coffee cup.
"No, I can go back by myself..." Wendy shook her head and looked down for two seconds. She seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "Ah, my cell phone is left upstairs. I'll go and get it."
"Miss Lim, shall I go upstairs and help you get it?" Aunt Lee hurried out of the kitchen after hearing what she said.
Wendy shook her head again. "No, I'd better go by myself..."
Charlie leaned back on the back of the chair, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, saying nothing.
In Gray's Mansion.
After Kim changed his shoes and entered the living room, he saw his wife and daughter sitting on the sofa with flower tea and snacks on the tea table.
As soon as they saw him, Madge got up and took his arm. "Dad!"
"You're a big girl now, still a spoiled girl?" Kim laughed.
Madge tilted her head, revealing two dimples. "No matter how old I am, I'll always be a child in front of dad. I'm willing to be spoiled by dad!"
"Haha, yes!" Kim nodded with a smile.
Linda, who was standing at the side, was also smiling as she watched their interaction. She was very pleased.
Kim, who was held by his daughter and sat on the sofa, asked, "When I first came in, I heard you and your mother chatting. What are you talking about?"
"What else can we talk about? It's Madge and Charlie's wedding of course!" Linda put down the flower tea in her hand and couldn't help but say, "Our Gray family and the Hogg family have been engaged for so many years, and Charlie and Madge even have already held an engagement ceremony four years ago. It's time to hurry up and finish their wedding so as not to be too late! Charlie isn't getting any younger, but he's not in a hurry, isn't he!"
Madge snuggled up to Kim at the right time. "Dad, can you talk to Charlie sometime?"
"Why are you in such a hurry to get married?" Kim said with a smile.
"Madge? Which Miss Lim? Could it be..." Linda frowned when she heard this. When she saw her daughter agreeing, she couldn't sit still. "She went abroad four years ago. Why did she come back?"
Madge looked upstairs and said, "Mom, lower your voice. Be careful not to let dad hear you!"
"What's wrong with that woman? Why did she come here and entangled with Charlie again?" Linda got serious. "Mom, what's so special about her?" Madge frowned and couldn't understand. "Charlie was so obsessed with her four years ago that he was willing to break off the engagement with me, and four years later, he couldn't remember her anymore, but he was still attracted by her! Why is that?"
"Luckily, he doesn't remember her anymore!" Linda said.
"Yes." Madge nodded in agreement.
"It seems that the wedding can't be delayed any longer. Also, Madge, you have to get close to Charlie as soon as possible!"
"Mom, I want to! Not only Charlie, but I am also trying hard to get close to Larry, but it didn't work!"
"Don't worry about the kid yet, it's Charlie you should worry!" Linda said thoughtfully and drew her daughter closer. "Madge, you are adults now. Sometimes you don't need to be too reserved. You can take the initiative in that aspect. Men are all the same!"
Madge's face was a little embarrassed, and she naturally understood what her mother meant.
It's just that it had been four years, although she called herself Charlie's fiancee wherever she went, she really didn't have much intimacy with Charlie. Not to mention kissing, they even seldom held hands. She was afraid that Charlie would only hold her hand in special occasions, and most of the time, she took the initiative.
Moreover, it was not that she didn't give up her reserved manner, she hinted a lot openly and secretly, but also did a lot. Charlie was indifferent all the time. Even when he was on a business trip, she rushed over to the hotel and wore sexy pajamas for him, but he didn't respond at all...
Linda saw through her daughter's embarrassment and whispered in her ear, "Madge, if that didn't work, you..."

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
