Chapter 245
Chapter 245
There was an acquaintance in the waiting room who also came back to Ice city, and he asked someone to borrow a mobile phone for the time being.
Boss took the phone and pressed a series of numbers in a very familiar manner. Farr stood next to him and could see the shallow radian of his thin lips. However, it seemed that no one picked it up, so he called a second time.
Finally, someone picked up the phone. Yet Boss hung up the phone without saying a word, and there's a storm a storm coming between the eyes.
During the whole flight, Charlie's so gloomy at all times that even the stewardesses didn't dare to come forward to serve him.
Farr straightened his back, and couldn't help but tighten his nerves.
At the exit, the driver, Tonny, had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw them, he immediately went forward, took the two suitcases in Farr's hands, and handed over a brand new phone.
Farr checked it and went over to Charlie respectfully. "Mr. Hogg, I've inserted a new card, here's the phone."
Charlie took it and put it in his trouser pocket.
Farr saw the situation, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something. The question of why Boss didn't call Miss Lim was already on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back when he touched Charlie's cold eyes.
When they walked out of the airport lobby, a light figure ran over, whose high heels were clicking.
"Charlie-"
Farr looked over and found that it was another Miss Lim.
Yolanda put on delicate makeup and also had her hair done. She wore a flamboyant Chanel suit and carried a famous brand's bag on her back. She's like a proud peacock, and it's hard not to notice.
However, Charlie didn't seem to see her and kept walking toward the parking lot.
Yolanda caught up with him on high heels, and said, "Charlie, why don't you talk to me? I'm waiting for you here. I have something to tell you!"
"I'm not interested." Charlie looked steadily forward.
"It's about you and my sister. You're not interested either?" Yolanda saw that he was still ignoring her, so she quickly followed him and said, "Charlie, don't go. Listen to me! I'm totally defending you. Wendy cheated on you!"
"What did you say?" Charlie suddenly said in a low voice.
Yolanda was frightened by the grimness on his face. She was very scared, but soon she realized that she had come prepared. She took out her mobile phone from her bag and handed it to him. "Charlie, I didn't lie to you. Check it if you don't believe me!" When Charlie saw the photo on the screen, his deep eyes narrowed.
His pupils contracted rapidly, and the veins on the back of his hand, which was holding the phone, had already jumped out.
When Yolanda saw it, she couldn't hide her smug look and took the opportunity to slander Wendy. "Wendy's not lonely at all when you are in the United States! When you are not around, she's with
another man..."
Charlie suddenly slammed the phone down on the floor.
He made a lot of noise, and a lot of people around looked over.
Yolanda was so close to Charlie that she almost screamed. At this moment, she pushed down her excitement and called him tentatively, "Charlie..."
"F*ck off!" Charlie said coldly.
The tall figure in Yolanda's sight left in a murderous rage. Yolanda patted her chest as if she had come back to life. She picked up the phone that had fallen on the ground and pouted, but she was not angry at all. Instead, she laughed.
The screen was cracked, but it still worked.
Yolanda dialed a number as if to claim credit. "Hello, Sunny..."
After three days, Grandma was sent to cremate, and the ashes were buried next to Grandpa.
Wendy kowtowed a few times in front of the tombstone. When she left, she looked back step by step, and her tears kept pouring out.
For the past two days, she kept thinking that if she hadn't promised Grandma to let her move back to the country, would Grandma still be with her now? But there was no "if" in the world. She could only accept it as everyone told her.
She still remembered that a man told her to stay home and waited for him. Fortunately, she was not alone.
After giving away Grandma's ashes, Wendy went back to Ice City.
Felix drove the military jeep. It's a little awkward because of what happened last night. They were both silent along the way.
When they arrived in the city, it was almost evening, and half of the sky was tinged with sunset colors.
"Wendy, we're here!"
Wendy closed her eyes. The long journey made her sleepy. Feeling someone approaching, she instantly sat up straight with alert in her eyes.
Felix smiled guiltily at the sight of the situation, "I guess I scared you after all."
Wendy bit her lip, lowered her head and silently unbuttoned her seat belt, trying to open the door.
Felix locked the car a step ahead. Then he saw her look panicked, and her eyes were nervously looking at him.
"Wendy, I still want to apologize to you!" Felix sighed. Even he didn't know why, so he could only find an excuse. "I didn't do it on purpose. Maybe it was because I thought of the scene when Toby's mother left. That's why I lost control..."
Upon hearing this, Wendy's expression froze for two seconds, and then she relaxed.
She took off the guard in her eyes and shook her head, saying, "Felix, I don't blame you. I will forget what happened last night." NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Thank you!" Felix smiled, unlocked the car, and comforted her. "Don't think too much. There comes a time in our lives when we have to say goodbye. Your grandmother will also want you to live happily! You have been too tired these two days. Go upstairs and have a rest!"
"Well, I know. Don't worry about me!" Wendy nodded.
After getting out of the car, Wendy saw that Felix was still looking at her worriedly. When she walked into the building, she turned around and waved her hand.
After two breaks in between, Wendy climbed to the top floor.
When she was about to get the key from her bag, she opened her eyes slightly. In front of her, there was a gap in the security door of her house. Although she left in a hurry at that time, she still remembered that the door was locked.
Fler heartbeat sped up all of a sudden.
She suspects a burglar in the house. If that's the case, then God had tested her too much.
Wendy hesitated to hold the door handle, grabbed the vase on the cabinet, and tried to walk inside. Fler other hand had already held the mobile phone, and she would call the police at any time.
There was a faint scent of tobacco spreading through the room.
She sniffed, and thought the scent was familiar. She continued to walk in and saw a tall figure standing by the window with a suitcase next to him.
"...Charlie?"
Wendy was stunned for a while and was not very sure.
If it weren't for the cigarette in his hand, she would have suspected that she was hallucinating.
Her nose was getting a little sore. God knows how much she missed him, and how much she wanted to see him. She put down the vase in her hand and walked toward him step by step. Now she just wanted to snuggle into his arms to absorb warmth and strength from him.
