Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 279

Hearing what she said, Charlie's tight face relaxed a lot.

Wendy glanced at him secretly and then silently withdrew her gaze.

Wendy looked down at the necklace in her hand, then walked to the mirror and lowered her head slightly. She wanted to put the necklace on her neck again, but she could not see the lock because of the angle, so it was a little difficult. She tried to aim at the cramp ring with her fingers.

"Let me help!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind her.

The shadow of the tall figure fell on her. She shook her head in a hurry and said, "You don't have to..."

At the moment when the voice came out, Charlie's big hand had reached over from behind.

Wendy had no choice but to touch her hair and put her head down. Looking at him in the mirror, he reached out and put the necklace on her. When he loosened his hand, his rough fingers accidentally rubbed her skin, and there were small bumps on her skin.

Under the orange light, her skin on the back neck was fair and tender.

Due to the height difference, Charlie could see two towering peaks of her chest. He couldn't help but think of the faint black lace trim underneath when they were lying on the bed earlier. The tension in his lower abdomen came again, and his Adam's apple bobbed twice in a row. He tried to look away.

Two seconds later, he couldn't help looking back again.

He narrowed his deep eyes and fixed them on the necklace hanging from her collarbone.

Thinking the reason why she cared the necklace so much, Charlie disdainfully curled his lips. He knew that it was a luxury brand and it was very expensive. The female employees would occasionally talk about these things in private.

But when he took a closer look at the small key, which was shaped like a sunflower petal, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

Wendy noticed his abnormality and couldn't help asking, "Charlie, are you okay..."

"My head hurts a little." Charlie raised his hand and pressed on the other side of his head.

Looking at the little key again, he felt a stinging pain again.

"Shall I go and find some painkiller for you?" Wendy said in a hurry.

Charlie shook his head and said, "There's no need. I feel much better now. Maybe it's a nerve ache."

Wendy walked over and handed him a glass of water. After watching him drink two mouthfuls of warm water, his furrowed eyebrows gradually stretched out. It seemed that he really felt much better.

She breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly remembered something. She asked doubtfully, "Uh, by the way, Why were you up so late?"

She remembered that it was very late when she first went out, and she deliberately eased her steps, for fear she might disturb him. But she didn't expect that he didn't sleep.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Charlie's face.

He couldn't say that it was because he was to turned on by her, so he slightly coughed, his right hand slightly clenched into a fist near his thin lips. "I forgot my sleeping pills."

"Oh..." Wendy nodded suddenly.

As if afraid of being seen through, Charlie said in a low voice, "I'm going back to my room!"

Wendy watched him go back to the bedroom with his back slightly stiff. She raised her hand and touched the hard objects on her neck, and then turned back to the room silently.

The next morning, when the sun just rose outside the window, she woke up.

It was not because she woke up early, but because she had that nightmare again.

Because it was too early and she couldn't keep herself on the brick bed, and she hadn't come back to the countryside for many years, Wendy decided to go out for a walk. There was a half slope area in the countryside, where the view was the best. There was a clear river below, and a layer of mountains in the distance, and behind it was a village with smoke from kitchen chimneys in the air.

When Wendy walked under the morning light halfway, she found a person standing on the hillside.

It was a man judging from the back. He was not very young, but he didn't seem like he's from around here. He wasn't plainly dressed, but rather, well-dressed. There was a valuable watch on his wrist behind his back.

Just like Charlie, he was very incompatible with this place.

A villager came to her and said, "I heard that the man came from the city two days ago! He stayed at the Liu family's house, next to the shop, seems to have come here to travel, and gave the Liu family a lot of accommodation fees!"

"Travel?" Wendy was surprised.

She had heard Charlie and Donna say they were here on vacation, but it's the first time she heard people say they were traveling here.

"Yeah, it's so fresh!" The villager nodded. "In such a remote and poor village, we don't have any scenic spots. What is worthy of a visit? I don't understand rich people nowadays. I guess they're here to experience life! Tsk!"

After muttering for a while, the villager walked away, shaking his heads.

Wendy also laughed and shook her head. Seeing that there was someone on the slope, she planned to change a place. Just as she turned around, she heard someone calling her.

"Miss Lim!"

It was the rich man who had come to the countryside to travel that she had talked about with the villager just now.

As he walked toward her, Wendy felt that he looked more and more familiar.

When he got close to her, she finally remembered him and tried to recall the name card in her mind."... Mr. Gray?"

"Yes, it's me!" Kim Gray smiled like a spring breeze. "I didn't even dare to call you just now. I didn't expect that Miss Lim and I would meet again in such a place! Miss Lim probably didn't come to travel, did you?"

"No, no, I'm not..." Wendy hurriedly waved her hand.

"I remember. On that plane, you mentioned that you would worship someone after you returned." Kim said with a smile.

"Yes, my grandmother was buried here. I used to live here with her when I was a child!" Wendy nodded and couldn't help asking for help. "Mr. Gray, are you really coming to the countryside to travel?"

"Haha, do you think it's weird?" Kim did not deny it.

"Er..." Wendy was embarrassed and sorry to be blunt.

"In fact, I'm not here to travel. I just want to stay here for a few days!" Kim explained, with a distant look in his eyes. "I used to have a first love with a deep relationship, but unfortunately, fate made fools of us. In the end, we didn't end up together... I have been abroad all these years. When I returned home, I always felt that there was no aura of her in the city. I used to hear her mention her hometown, so I wanted to come over and have a look!" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"I see..." Wendy nodded.

It seemed that she knew what Kim felt like. Maybe it's always easy to remember the past when you live to this age.

Looking at the time, it was 7:30 p.m. She said, "I will go back today. What about you?"

"I may stay here for a few more days! The air is good, much more comfortable than the city!" Kim answered with a smile.

Wendy nodded and waved goodbye.

After a few steps, she couldn't help but look back and felt a little upset.

Wendy returned home after going to the shop. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Charlie's tall figure coming out of the house in a hurry. He frowned and asked after seeing her, "Where did you go?"
