Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 278

Hearing his words, Wendy looked at him in a daze.

She didn't seem to have recovered from the ghostly shock for a moment, her hands pressed to her breasts, rising and falling.

"I'm asking you!" Charlie frowned.

Wendy shrank a little and answered with a lingering fear, "My necklace is missing..."

She sneakingly gave him a glance and then heaved a sigh of relief quietly.

He really scared her to death!

"A necklace?" Charlie frowned again.

"Yes..." Wendy nodded and raised her hand to touch her empty neck. "It should have dropped in the dusk. I was afraid that someone would pick it up tomorrow morning, so I came to look for it."

Charlie glanced around. There were so many clouds tonight, and the moon hanging over his head was covered by the clouds. Only the river water reflected some light. Besides, there was grass all around. Although there were always people stepping on it, there's no way to find something if it's hidden.

"Where are you going to find it in the dark?"

Wendy signaled, "I brought a flashlight..."

"It's just a necklace. Go back to sleep first. Let's find it tomorrow morning!" Charlie said and was about to pull her back. "No!" Wendy shook her head resolutely. In the dim light, she shook her head and pursed her lips. "You can go back by yourself. If I can't find it tonight, I won't go back..."

Upon hearing this, Charlie snorted and turned around to leave. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

After walking for more than a dozen steps, he stopped abruptly and his hands in his trouser pocket clenched into a fist. In his sight, the beautiful figure had already bent down again and began to search carefully with the flashlight in her hand.

She was surrounded by darkness, and only her slender figure could be seen.

It was very remote here, almost every family had turned off the lights. Thinking of the scared look on her face when he saw her just now, he frowned and turned back. She's lucky to meet someone like him, but if someone who's lousy, then it's no use screaming her head off...

Under the murky moonlight, Charlie's face was tight. "Do you know where you dropped it?"

"Well, I don't know..."

When Wendy looked back at him, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She didn't expect that he would come back again, pointed to a certain area and said in bewilderment, "Maybe it's in this grassland..."

"..." Charlie's face darkened.

But the light was so dim that his expression couldn't be seen at all.

When he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight above the camera, he began to regret that he had somehow turned back and accompanied her like a fool looking for a necklace in the grass in the middle of the night...

Wendy gave him a glance from the corner of her eye.

Neither of them spoke, but the male scent from time to time wafted up to her nose, made her less afraid than she had been earlier.

"Wendy!"

Charlie suddenly shouted.

Wendy raised her head."... Er?"

Charlie had already stood up straight, giving her a hint. "Come and have a look. Is it this?"

Upon hearing the words, Wendy trotted over and squatted down to take a closer look. Sure enough, there was a shining thing looming. When she reached out her hand, the little key with diamonds was revealed.

"Here it is!" She was very happy. "I was scared to death. I thought I couldn't find it tonight..."

"Can we go back now?" Charlie took back his mobile phone.

"Yes..." Wendy nodded firmly.

On the way back, the two of them did not speak. One was immersed in the joy of getting back her necklace, while the other was thinking about something else.

In the north, it was very cold at the night even in the spring. Besides, there was a river beside, and it's been a long night out there, their bodies were cold all over.

After entering the house, Wendy boiled a pot of hot water when she was making dinner. She poured two cups of hot water and handed one to Charlie.

"Charlie, have a glass of hot water..."

She said sincerely, "Thanks to you tonight, otherwise, I wouldn't have found it so quickly. Thank you!"

Charlie picked up the cup and glanced at her clenched hand.

From the moment she returned, she always held the necklace tightly in her hand, fearing that she might accidentally lose it again. He could only see the general appearance of it, a white gold necklace with a small pendant full of diamonds.

"Is that necklace very expensive?" Charlie asked casually.

"Well, it's not cheap..." Wendy thought for a while and nodded.

If she remembered correctly, it cost at least 70,000 dollars. When she first wore it on her neck, she was even worried that it would be snatched away by a passer- by along the way. Now that she thought about it, she was stupid enough back then.

Charlie suddenly came to realize, "No wonder you have to find it back in the middle of the night, for fear of being picked up by others!"

"It's not that expensive thing is precious." Wendy shook her head, clenched her hand, felt the touch of hard objects, and blurted out without thinking, "It's indeed expensive, but for me, it has a special meaning. Moreover, the person who gave it to me said that I must wear it wherever I go in the future, hang it on my neck all the time, and don't take off even when I take a bath..."

"Ha, it's really overbearing!" Charlie sneered.

That's true...

But it was funny to be mentioned by himself like this.

Wendy laughed out and said softly, "The most important thing is that I promised that I would not lose it and would not return it to him."

That was why she tried so hard to get it back.

Although they separated four years ago, and she saw the same key necklace in Madge's neck, she always wore it on her neck, which was pretty much all she had left of that relationship.

After saying that, Wendy saw that he was looking at her, and realized that she seemed to have said too much. She lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

Charlie's pupils contracted slightly. "Was it a gift from your boyfriend?"

"No..." Wendy shook her head.

Feeling that such a definition was wrong, she corrected him and said, "Ex-boyfriend..."

At the moment when she shook her head, Charlie obviously felt that his chest, which was obviously held tight, loosened, even though he didn't know why.

"Ex-boyfriend?" He frowned, surprised by him being gossip, "You dumped him?"

"No..." Wendy shook her head again. "So he dumped you?"

Seeing that she did not speak, it was obvious that she had tacitly approved. Charlie pulled his lips and asked casually, "Why did he break up? Does he have another woman?"

"Sort of..." Wendy's answer was vague.

It could be said like that. He proposed to break up with her and left her behind because he didn't want to play relationship games and chose his fiancee...

"Just a thing a scumbag giving you, Why do you place so much value on it? He dumped you. Why are you still keeping this thing?" Charlie said in a low voice with a gloomy look.

Wendy widened her eyes and seemed to be shocked by the scumbag in his mouth.

Wasn't it weird that he called himself scumbag...

"What? Isn't he a scumbag?"

Seeing this, Charlie's tone became more serious.

Wendy swallowed her saliva and squeezed out a dry voice. "Er, yes... he is..."
