"What's wrong?" Charlie raised his eyebrows.
Wendy shook her head in a trance. "Nothing..."
Aunt Lee, who went downstairs in advance, had already shouted downstairs, "Sir, young master, Miss Lim, it's time to come down and have breakfast!"
Just like last night, the three of them sat around the table.
The morning light came in from outside the window and spread in all corners. Aunt Lee looked at it in the kitchen and couldn't help but smile.
Although she knew that Mr. Hogg had a fiancee, she always felt that the young master was unhappy with his dad's fiancee. On the contrary, the scene in front of her was more like a family of three.
Larry was very angry, glaring at his dad. He's still angry at his dad for saying he wet the bed. But with the presence of Wendy, he's holding back. Besides, his dad got something on him, so he kept glancing sideways.
Seeing that Wendy kept lowering her head and eating her toast, he felt extremely wronged.
He's done. Wendy didn't like him anymore!
Wendy was still keeping thinking about that shaver, and didn't notice the pitiful expression of Larry in front of her at all. Finally, she swallowed her toast and put down the fork. "Well, I'm finished..." "I'll give you a ride later.1' Charlie picked up his coffee cup.
"No, I can go back by myself..." Wendy shook her head and looked down for two seconds. She seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "Ah, my cell phone is left upstairs. I'll go and get
it."
"Miss Lim, shall I go upstairs and help you get it?" Aunt Lee hurried out of the kitchen after hearing what she said.
Wendy shook her head again. "No, I'd better go by myself..."
Charlie leaned back on the back of the chair, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, saying nothing.
In Gray's Mansion.
After Kim changed his shoes and entered the living room, he saw his wife and daughter sitting on the sofa with flower tea and snacks on the tea table.
As soon as they saw him, Madge got up and took his arm. "Dad!"
"You're a big girl now, still a spoiled girl?" Kim laughed.
Madge tilted her head, revealing two dimples. "No matter how old I am, I'll always be a child in front of dad. I'm willing to be spoiled by dad!"
"Haha, yes!" Kim nodded with a smile.
Linda, who was standing at the side, was also smiling as she watched their interaction. She was very pleased.
Kim, who was held by his daughter and sat on the sofa, asked, "When I first came in, I heard you and your mother chatting. What are you talking about?"
"What else can we talk about? It's Madge and Charlie's wedding of course!" Linda put down the flower tea in her hand and couldn't help but say, "Our Gray family and the Hogg family have been engaged for so many years, and Charlie and Madge even have already held an engagement
ceremony four years ago. It's time to hurry up and finish their wedding so as not to be too late! Charlie isn't getting any younger, but he's not in a hurry, isn't he!"
Madge snuggled up to Kim at the right time. "Dad, can you talk to Charlie sometime?"
"Why are you in such a hurry to get married?" Kim said with a smile.
"Oh, dad! Are you joking your own daughter?" Madge showed a shy look of a little daughter and started to act like a spoiled brat. "Can you help me?"
Kim pondered for a moment and said, "My opinion is that it's better to let nature take its course!"
"What are you talking about? I don't agree! If Charlie doesn't propose to get married, then our Madge's marriage is being delayed like this?" Linda, who was standing next to him, immediately frowned.
"Linda, let our kids deal with their affairs by themselves. As elders, don't give too much pressure!" Kim sighed to his wife and then looked at his daughter, saying gently, "Madge, Dad still think that it's better to let nature take its course. If it's time, you and Charlie will get married! Sometimes many things can't be forced, especially feelings."
Linda seemed to be stabbed in the back by his last sentence, and her face was not very good.
Kim also noticed it and didn't say anything more. He got up, "You two talk. I'll go upstairs and send some emails!"
When he disappeared from the stairwell, Linda looked away and said unhappily, "I've told you. We can't count on your father at all!"
Madge also didn't look very happy.
There was a sound coming from the entrance. Soon the driver came in and said, "Miss Gray, Madam!"
"How is it going?" Madge asked directly.
"According to Miss Gray's instructions, I have been following Mr. Hogg for the past two days!" The driver respectfully reported, but his heart was full of bitterness. His daily job was to drive, but in the recent two days, he had to follow someone like a spy.
"He didn't go to find Miss Lim, but..." The driver looked at Madge's face and continued, "Miss Lim went to his house, and she seemed to sleep there last night. She didn't leave until this morning!"
"What did you say?" Madge stood up suddenly.
"Madge? Which Miss Lim? Could it be..." Linda frowned when she heard this. When she saw her daughter agreeing, she couldn't sit still. "She went abroad four years ago. Why did she come back?"
Madge looked upstairs and said, "Mom, lower your voice. Be careful not to let dad hear you!"
"What's wrong with that woman? Why did she come here and entangled with Charlie again?" Linda got serious. "Mom, what's so special about her?" Madge frowned and couldn't understand. "Charlie was so obsessed with her four years ago that he was willing to break off the engagement with me, and four years later, he couldn't remember her anymore, but he was still attracted by her! Why is that?"
"Luckily, he doesn't remember her anymore!" Linda said. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"Yes." Madge nodded in agreement.
"It seems that the wedding can't be delayed any longer. Also, Madge, you have to get close to Charlie as soon as possible!"
"Mom, I want to! Not only Charlie, but I am also trying hard to get close to Larry, but it didn't work!"
"Don't worry about the kid yet, it's Charlie you should worry!" Linda said thoughtfully and drew her daughter closer. "Madge, you are adults now. Sometimes you don't need to be too reserved. You can take the initiative in that aspect. Men are all the same!"
Madge's face was a little embarrassed, and she naturally understood what her mother meant.
It's just that it had been four years, although she called herself Charlie's fiancee wherever she went, she really didn't have much intimacy with Charlie. Not to mention kissing, they even seldom held hands. She was afraid that Charlie would only hold her hand in special occasions, and most of the time, she took the initiative.
Moreover, it was not that she didn't give up her reserved manner, she hinted a lot openly and secretly, but also did a lot. Charlie was indifferent all the time. Even when he was on a business trip, she rushed over to the hotel and wore sexy pajamas for him, but he didn't respond at all...
Linda saw through her daughter's embarrassment and whispered in her ear, "Madge, if that didn't work, you..."
