Chapter 178
Putting her hands on the shoe cabinet, Wendy tried her best to hold her tears back.
"Yes..." Her voice was very light.
Charlie heard the sound of keys on her side, he asked, "You've just arrived home? What did you do?"
"I..." Wendy opened her mouth, afraid that she would reveal her true feelings, she paused for a moment and then spoke again, but did not mention a word about what happened tonight. "I went to the market. There's no vegetables at home."
"The food here is too bad. I want to eat the noodles you cooked."
Wendy's nose began to twitched again. "Okay, I'll cook for you when you come back."
Seemingly aware of her strangeness, Charlie asked, "What's wrong with your voice?"
"Maybe I caught a cold. Nasal obstruction..." Wendy explained.
"Is it serious? How can you catch a cold?" Charlie said in a low voice, "Is there any medicine at home?"
"If you don't take medicine in time, it will be more serious tomorrow. It won't be easy to recover in this season! Remember to take medicine after you finish your meal, and drink more hot water! Or get some ginger to eat! Do you understand?"
Wendy listened quietly to his words and felt a little warm in her heart. She suddenly felt that the grievance she had suffered this afternoon was nothing.
"Why don't you talk?"
"I'm listening to you..."
Soon, Charlie chuckled, and he said in a teasing tone, "Are you missing me?"
In the past, Wendy would refute embarrassingly. But today, she held her mobile phone and answered directly, "Yes..." Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
She really missed him.
She really wanted him to hug her tightly as usual.
She wanted to seek shelter from his strong and warm embrace, but she knew that he had just gone abroad and had something important to deal with. She could not make trouble for him, so she had to digest all of her bad feelings silently.
Hearing her answer, Charlie suddenly fell silent.
A few seconds later, he opened his mouth again and said in a deeper tone, "I'm going back by plane in the evening today and get to Ice city at eight tomorrow evening. Wendy, wait for me at home."
"Okay..." Wendy replied meekly.
After the call, she let out a sigh of relief and kept telling herself.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
After a simple meal, when she took a shower and went to bed, her cell phone's screen lit up again. Charlie sent a text message, "Good night, miss you."
Wendy looked at the words on the screen, as if she could hear his calm voice.
Soon, another message came in. "Remember to take your medicine!"
Wendy's fingers touched the screen, and somehow a warm feeling came from between the words. The outline of Charlie's stern face appeared in front of her eyes, she finally regained her sense.
The next evening, when Wendy got off work, she received a phone call from Ewan.
Half an hour later, they arrived in a restaurant near the company.
This place was chosen by Wendy. Every time she ate with Ewan, Ewan would find some high- end restaurants. However, she was embarrassed to let him treat her all the time, but she couldn't afford to too expensive restaurant, so she chose this cheap and clean restaurant.
With Sichuan food as the main dish, the waiter recommended a few special dishes, and Ewan ordered two more.
The lemonade was served first. Ewan raised his eyebrows and said, "Wendy, I thought you would go on a date, but you still have time to have a meal with your friend. Well, it seems that friends indeed attach some important to you!"
His joking tone seemed to indicated that he had forgotten what he said in the car last time, besides, Wendy didn't take it seriously at that time either.
"He's on a business trip..." She explained awkwardly.
"Okay! I'll take back what I said just now!" Ewan immediately rolled his eyes.
Wendy held a cup of water and looked shy.
It was still some time before the dishes were served. Ewan changed several postures and was not very satisfied. "This restaurant is too small and crowded. It's really uncomfortable to sit here!"
"The food is good here. We often called the takeaway here at noon. You will know later!" Wendy smiled helplessly and said, "Ewan, you can take this as an experience of normal people's life!"
While they were talking, the dishes were served. It was a big bowl of boiled fish, the fragrant smell of pepper came from it.
Ewan seemed to like this fish. He didn't complain any more and began to eat.
Perhaps it was too delicious, they almost had no time to chat. When they were about to finish eating, Ewan finally raised his head from the plate and asked her, "Wendy, what are you going to do after the meal?"
"I have to go back." Wendy said.
"What time is it! It's not even seven o'clock yet. What's the point of going home so early?" Ewan pointed to his watch.
Under his interrogation, Wendy had no choice but to reply with a red face, "Er, he's coming back on the plane tonight..."
"What a coincidence!" Ewan suddenly raised his eyebrows, then he paused and asked, "My comrade-in-arms happened to come here tonight. I'm going to pick him up at the airport later. Do you want to go with me?"
Pick him up at the plane...
Wendy thought about it quickly for two seconds and nodded. "Okay!"
An hour later, the sports car drove to the airport, and there was a toll in front of it.
Wendy, who was sitting in the front seat, was a little nervous and excited. She was imagining that Charlie would be very surprised when he saw her at the airport.
They parked the car in the open parking space and unfastened the seat belt. When they pushed the door open, Wendy found that her cell phone had fallen into the gap of the seat. She picked it up and found that there were missed phone calls on it.
All of them from Felix.
Wendy was a little surprised, because Felix was not Charlie, he wouldn't call her so many time like this. Usually, he would only call her once, and waited her to call him back.
As she walked to the airport lobby, she called back with doubts.
"Felix? Did you call me?"
"Yeah! Why didn't you pick it up?"
"I didn't hear it just now." Wendy explained. Flearing his strange tone, she couldn't help but ask, "Felix, what's wrong? Is there something important that you want me to do?"
Felix paused for two seconds and suddenly said seriously, "Wendy, break up with Mr. Hogg!" "Felix..." Wendy was stunned.
"Wendy, you know, I will never harm you! You two are not suitable. You can't stay with him anymore, or you will get hurt!"
"Felix, what are you talking about..."
Wendy frowned. This was not the first time for her to hear such a thing, and she was inexplicably very resistant to these words.
She had already walked into the hall. She was about to hang up the phone, but Felix seemed to be very anxious. Fie almost shouted out, "Charlie has a fiancee!"
Wendy's breathing stopped.
While her head was buzzing, the radio began to remind that the plane flying from New York had already landed.
There were people coming out one after another. She saw a familiar tall figure. When she was about to step forward subconsciously, she stopped. Because beside Charlie, there was a tall and slender figure walking out with him side by side.
Wendy's blood froze.
Felix's last words came to her ears again and again. "I saw him at New York Airport. Fie was with his fiancee! They've gone back to China together..."
