"Still alive..." Wendy swallowed her saliva.
In addition to deliberately trying to tease her, Charlie did so to get her out of the shadow of being kidnapped quickly.
Although the two had talked about it in the dead of night and he had also comforted her, he was still worried in his heart. In this way, he wanted her to forget the bad things that had happened before.
How could Wendy not know what he was thinking? She wanted to ease the tension and asked, "How about I also enroll in a taekwondo class?"
Every week, she would take Larry to the taekwondo class.
Wendy saw Charlie reveal a pensive expression and seem to consider what she said, so she hurriedly said, "I'm just kidding!"
Larry took the taekwondo class to build his body, but she had no interest in any of those things at all. If she fell a few times, her bones would definitely shatter.
"Why are you here? Where's Uncle Lee? You let him go back?" Wendy couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I just finished a meeting. I have nothing else to do, so I came out of the company in advance." Charlie pulled his lips and answered her. He took a step forward and his strong body approached her closer, then deliberately said in a mischievous tone, "Do you think it's better for me to rob you for money or sex?"
Wendy blinked her eyes, playing along with his evil taste. "My money is in my bag, and sex, we'll talk about it when we get home!"
Charlie laughed in a low voice after hearing what she said. Then he took her shoulder and walked out of the apartment building quickly.
After the Land Rover stopped in the courtyard, Aunt Lee was watering flowers in front of the door, where green branches and leaves were blooming from the pots.
Wendy was led by Charlie to come over and asked, "Aunt Lee, is Larry back?"
"Not yet. Donna called and said that she would take the young master back after dinner!" Aunt Lee replied.
"Oh, so that's it!" Wendy nodded. It was understandable.
When she saw Aunt Lee looking back at the villa, she asked again, "Aunt Lee, what's wrong?"
"We have a guest at home!" Aunt Lee reported in a hurry.
"A guest?" Wendy was shocked.
"Yes!" Aunt Lee nodded, looked at Charlie next to her, and continued with hesitation, "It's for Miss, Miss Lim, it's a man!"
Wendy was stunned by Aunt Lee's words.
She subconsciously looked at Charlie, his face darkened a little. "Let's go in and have a look!"
"Okay."
Wendy did not dare to say much and followed Charlie obediently.
However, she still had doubts in her heart. Although she's so growing up, it can be said that she had few friends of the opposite sex, which could be counted by her fingers, and she really didn't know who would come for her.
Was it Ryan, or Felix?
But it's unlikely to be them...
Wendy changed her slippers and entered the house, and the two of them directly headed in the direction of the living room. When she clearly saw the face of the man sitting on the couch, she was extremely surprised. She extended her hand and pointed at the man as she asked in a surprised voice, "Ewan Shaw?"
"It's me." Ewan stood up from the couch.
"Oh my god, it's really you!" Wendy took back her fingers and covered her mouth.
Just that moment, she almost thought she was mistaken, that man really was Ewan who had disappeared for a long time!
"Wendy, long time no see!" Ewan smiled slightly at her, and then turned his eyes to Charlie next to her and said, "Charlie."
Charlie nodded his head as a response.
After sitting down again, Aunt Lee brought two cups of tea. Wendy looked at Ewan, who was sitting opposite her. He was wearing a black suit without a tie, but the buttons of his shirt were neatly buttoned. Unlike the playboy four years ago, he did not look like a ruffian anymore. Instead, he looked more mature.
Wendy smiled and stood up. "Then I'll ask Aunt Lee to add two more dishes!"
Although there was no Larry at dinner, but there was an extra Ewan. Six dishes and one soup, Aunt Lee helped a lot, and she cooked them.
After Ewan sat down, he said with a smile that they had known each other for so many years, and it was the first time he had tasted the meal she cooked. And Charlie didn't speak much during the whole dinner. She and Ewan were talking most of the time.
They were talking about the past. Sometimes, they would talk about Felix.
But when she saw Charlie's gloomy face, she hesitated for a while and then changed the subject.
Charlie and Ewan were not close to each other as brothers, so they didn't talk much. However, they had drunk all the white wine Ewan brought, along with another bottle of red wine, and she shared less than half a cup of it.
Ewan seemed to be a little tipsy. When he got up, his eyes were a little dazzled, but he was not so drunk.
It was already completely dark outside.
After the meal, Ewan did not continue to disturb them, but proposed to leave.
With Wendy's insistence, Charlie followed Ewan out of the villa anxiously.
Since Ewan came by himself, he didn't drive the car. Charlie asked Uncle Lee to drive him away, but he refused. He said that he wanted to walk along the private road and got a cab back, which could also relieve his drunken spirits.
In this way, Charlie sent him to the front gate of the yard.
Ewan waved his hand, indicating that Charlie didn't need to see him off. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
Then he turned around and came back. He looked at Wendy and said, "Wendy, I have something to tell you."
"Well, what's the matter?" Wendy asked with a puzzled expression.
Under the moonlight, the expression on Ewan's face was somewhat complicated, or rather, there was a lot of guilt in it. He sighed and slowly said, "To be exact, there is one thing that I owe you an apology."

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 😩...
