Chapter 293
"Uh... What's wrong?" Wendy was puzzled.
"The young master is sick." Aunt Lee told her over there.
Wendy suddenly panicked. "Larry is sick? Is it serious?"
"Miss Lim, don't worry, it's not serious!" Aunt Lee could hear that Wendy was anxious,
so she hurriedly comforted Wendy. "It's just a bit of a cold last night, and he has been to the doctor, nothing serious! But the young master has no appetite and wants to eat the noodles you make, so can you come here?"
At the end, Wendy bit her lip in embarrassment, "Aunt Lee, if Larry is not feeling well and it's not convenient for him to go out, I can make the noodles, and then you come to my house and get it..."
"I have to take care of the young master at home. I can't leave!"
"Why don't you ask Uncle Lee to drive over and pick it up?"
"There's something going on at my mother's house and he's gone to help early in the morning!" Aunt Lee continued, "Miss Lim, to tell you the truth, the young master has never liked eating much, but he loves the noodles you cooked, so I want you to teach me how to cook it!" Wendy pursed her lips and did not respond immediately.
There was a sudden silence on the other side of the line, then Aunt Lee's voice came out again. "Miss Lim, it won't take too much time for you. The young master really wants to eat noodles. Mr. Hogg is not home, he went on a business trip. There are only me and the young master at home..."
"Okay, I'll go now!" Wendy agreed.
Hanging up the phone, she turned off the TV, quickly went back to the room and got dressed before going out.
As soon as she walked out of the community, she saw a taxi. Wendy stopped it and got in. She didn't expect that Larry's house was so close to the place she lived. Even if there was a traffic jam on the road, it took her less than 20 minutes to get to the villa.
It was not as luxurious as Hogg's Mansion. Although it was independent, it looked very warm.
When she walked inside, Wendy deliberately looked around in the yard to make sure that there was no white Land Rover, and then she pressed the doorbell with confidence.
The door was opened by Aunt Lee. Before long, a small figure flew toward her.
"Wendy-"
Larry was wearing pajamas and shouted at her in a childish voice.
It seemed that he was really uncomfortable. He held a tissue in his hand and wiped his nose from time to time. Wendy touched the little head on her leg, looked inside, and asked worriedly, "Aunt Lee, did Charlie really go on a business trip?"
"Yes..." Aunt Lee's eyes were somewhat unnatural. She moved aside and said, "Mr. Hogg just left half an hour ago!"
"Oh!" Wendy let out a sigh of relief.
Larry could not wait any longer. "Wendy, come in!"
Just like every time he came to her, he pulled out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet with his little butt rising up and put them in front of her. His fair and tender hands tried to reach out to her
ankle, trying to help her change her shoes.
Unfortunately, she was wearing high heels today, and they were relatively tight. Larry could not be untied them for a long time, and he was anxious, scratching his head.
Wendy smiled and hurriedly bent down to take it off and put the slippers on. Then she was dragged inside.
Larry was very excited to see her. "I'll show you around!"
He said he's giving her a tour, but it's almost always a walk-through. Until they went upstairs, turned the corner and entered the second room -- his bedroom.
Obviously, it was a well-decorated children's room, but the color was relatively monotonous, with only three colors of black, white and gray. Wendy finally knew why Larry's clothes were monotonous colors. It must have something to do with Charlie. However, toys could be seen everywhere, which could add some liveliness.
Seeing Wendy step to the desk, Larry suddenly let go of her hand, nervously climbed onto the chair, and held the open picture book on the table in his arms.
Wendy raised her eyebrows, thinking that it was a little secret of a child.
Seeing that Wendy was looking at him with curved eyebrows, Larry was a little shy. "Wendy, do you want to see it?"
"...Yes!" Wendy was amused.
Larry licked his little mouth and handed over the picture book in his arms with a flushed face.
Wendy took it seriously. When she saw the crayon drawing on it, she was surprised. This should be the villa in the background. She pointed to a girl with long hair who was holding a child's hand and asked, "Larry, is this me?"
"Yes!" Larry nodded.
Wendy's heart was filled with warmth.
She looked down again and noticed a relatively tall man standing a short distance behind them, but with black crayon all over his face. With curiosity, she asked, "And who's this man?"
"Daddy!" Larry blinked.
Because every time he was together with Wendy, his dad always had a poker face!
"..." Wendy was speechless.
She thought in her heart that if Charlie saw this drawing, he would be so angry. His son had disfigured him like this. In order to avoid their relationship being affected, she decided, "Larry, can you give it to me?"
"Yes!" Larry agreed happily and threw himself into her arms in embarrassment. "Wendy likes it. I'm happy!"
Wendy touched Larry in her arms and sighed in her heart. She was doing Charlie a favor...
"Wendy, can you stay and sleep here night?"
Larry suddenly raised his head from her arms and made a request with his soft voice.
Wendy frowned. "Er..."
Larry rubbed his face against her. "Wendy, I'm not feeling well. I want you to be here with me~"
"Miss Lim, why don't you stay the night?" Receiving Larry's eyes, Aunt Lee, who was following them all the time, had to force herself to come forward. "Mr. Hogg is not home, and the young master is very lonely. If you're here, I guess he will be happier!"
"Wendy, is that okay?"
"Is that okay?"
Larry was repeating it over and over again like a machine.
Wendy could do nothing about it, finally, she was softhearted and nodded her head, "Okay..."
Larry immediately snuggled up in her arms happily. Wendy touched his flat little belly and did not forget the business here. "Aunt Lee, where is the kitchen? Why don't you take me to the kitchen to cook noodles for Larry first?"
"Okay! Miss Lim, then come with me!" Aunt Lee nodded quickly.
After following Aunt Lee downstairs, Wendy went straight into the kitchen. The space was very spacious. The two of them stood side by side in front of the cooking bench and it still looked a little empty. On the marble table, there were already noodles and eggs, and even the spring onion was washed clean.
When the water in the pot was boiled, the landline in the living room suddenly rang. Aunt Lee had to wipe her hands and went out to pick it up.
Because Aunt Lee mentioned on the phone that she wanted to learn to cook noodles, Wendy turned down the fire a little bit. She wanted to wait for Aunt Lee to come back from the phone and teach her how to cook noodles.
When she heard footsteps approaching, she picked up the egg and said, "Aunt Lee, making noodle soup is very simple..."
The rest of her words were stuck in the throat. The person standing at the door of the kitchen was not Aunt Lee, but another tall and strong figure.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
