Charlie frowned when he heard the first part of her sentence, and when he heard the last part, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He rested one arm on the couch behind her, reached over toward her with his other hand, took her hand directly, and put the rest of her cookie in his mouth naturally, not caring about the gazes of others.
Wendy's fingertips were licked by him, all wet.
She wiped her finger on the food cloth and whispered to Charlie, "Charlie, tell me honestly, how many girls have you messed with before?"
"Didn't you know?" Charlie narrowed his eyes and said in an honest tone.
Before he met her, he had never even had a woman by his side, even Madge, his ex-fiancee, who was picked by his family. Since he met her, he was interested in her only and could not get enough of her.
Wendy gazed at Tilly through the crowd and told Charlie directly, "Madge's cousin is interested in you!"
Tilly was not only interested in Charlie, but also straightforwardly declared that she liked him.
"Me?" Charlie asked in surprise.
"You don't know?" Wendy squinted her eyes and asked.
"Well." Charlie frowned and fell into deep thought. When Wendy mentioned it like this, something vaguely came to his mind. He thought for a while and said, "Probably!"
"..." Wendy's eyes widened.
Charlie curled his lips and looked at her with a sly look. He pinched her chin deliberately. "I have some impression on her. She did come and confess to me, but I didn't take it seriously. At that time she had not yet graduated from high school, she was simply a child. I just take her as a sister!"
"Are you sure?" Wendy asked doubtfully.
"One hundred percent." Charlie looked so sure and didn't avoid her gaze at all.
Wendy pulled his hand off her chin, poked his thick palm with her nails, and said jealously, "But she is always thinking about you. As soon as you left just now, she immediately came to show off to me..."
Charlie grabbed her hand and held it tightly. "If Telly comes to you again, don't talk to her!"
"Her name is Tilly..." After hearing that, Wendy didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Just now, Madge's cousin briefly introduced herself.
"Is it?" Charlie frowned, twitched his lips, and said, "I don't remember."
"..." Wendy shook her head helplessly.
Alright, she forgave him, for now!
He couldn't even remember Tilly's name correctly, so he really did not pay any attention to Tilly at all. Besides, when Tilly came up to say hello, he didn't seem to remember who it was until Tilly herself reminded him.
Kim had just recovered from a serious illness, and his body was still recovering. He could not entertain guests for too long, so the banquet was not held for a long time. After two hours, it was over, and the guests left the hotel one after another.
After saying goodbye to Kim, Charlie walked down the stairs, with one hand holding Wendy's hand, and the other holding the hem of her dress.
As they stood on the side of the road, there was a crisp sound of high heels behind them, and the sound of the puffy skirt flapping up and down with the footsteps. Tilly caught up from behind to say goodbye, "Bye, Charlie!"
Francis looked more handsome in the night. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Your son is very cute. I also like children very much! That day in the fishing park, I saw that he likes to play with other children's remote control aircraft, so I specially ordered one from Hong Kong, want to give him as a gift. Miss Lim, it's just a gift for your son, please take it!"
"Well..." Wendy swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
She did not expect that this gift was prepared for Larry. Francis was really good at it, giving the gift to Larry was more threatening to Charlie than giving it to her directly. But she also had to admire his perseverance.
Francis's gaze crossed her and looked at Charlie, who was sitting at the driver's seat. "You don't mind, do you, Mr. Hogg?"
"No." Charlie said, pursing his lips.
Seeing this, Wendy had to take it. She nodded and said, "Francis, thank you..."
"You're welcome!" Francis waved his hand with a smile and then stepped back to make way for them.
At the same time, the white Land Rover fired its engine and left the hotel, bringing with it a gust of night wind.
The gift was placed on her knees. She did not touch it again, just kept tilting her head to watch Charlie. She was surprised and still couldn't believe that Charlie would accept Francis's gift.
While she was wondering, the car suddenly slowed down and stopped at the side of the road.
A hand flashed past her eyes, and then the bag on her knee was taken away by Charlie. Without saying a word, Charlie directly threw the gift into the trash can, and then rejoined the traffic stream.
Wendy looked away silently.
She knew it...

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 😩...
