Chapter 322
Wendy was completely stunned.
She did not expect Charlie to say that, and she was a little flustered and overwhelmed.
Will she consider it...
Her fingers gripped tighter, even she was dazed, especially those deep and serene eyes, were so similar to the ones he had four years ago. For a moment, she almost thought that those four years didn't exist and that they hadn't broken up.
"Buzz, Buzz-"
It was quiet in the car, and the vibrating sound of the phone was particularly clear.
Her phone was running out of power and automatically turns off when she left the zoo, so it could only be Charlie's.
The person who called seemed to be very patient, waiting for the call over and over again. Charlie frowned and had to take out his phone from the storage space next to the driver's seat.
Because it was dark in the car, when the phone was taken out, the bright screen came directly into Wendy's sight. Also, there was "sunny" shown above.
It was like a bucket of cold water being poured against her face.
Wendy glanced at Larry who was still sleeping. Maybe she's mistaken, but Charlie just asked her to stay because of his son!
The hand on the car door slightly pressed and unlocked the door. "You answer the phone, I'll go up first..."
Charlie frowned. When he was about to hang up the phone, the back door was pushed open and closed.
When he looked out of the window, the slender figure was like a 100-meter sprint, and she had already entered the apartment building in a blink of an eye.
Charlie frowned and unfastened his seatbelt, ready to get off the car. But when he thought of his son on the back seat, he gave up.
After glancing at the vibrating phone, he turned it off and threw it back into the storage space.
The shopping mall was full of people strolling around.
Most of them were women because shopping was always a woman's favorite thing to do.
Two young ladies came out from the luxury goods counter on the first floor. They both had long hair and a tall figure. It seemed that they had just finished shopping. They were carrying several shopping bags inlaid with brands and chatting with smiles as they walked.
One of them caught a glimpse of something when she was looking around, she quickly said to the other girl beside her, "Madge, is that Mr. Hogg's son?"
Madge hadn't been in a good mood for the past two days. Her friend asked her to go shopping and picked out a bag that she liked, and she was barely in a better mood. After hearing what her friend said, she immediately asked.
"Where is he?"
"Look, he's on the front escalator!"
Following her friend's finger, Madge indeed saw a little boy with a delicate face.
"Who is the woman next to him? And why does she look so familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere before?" Madge's friend muttered, and suddenly shouted, "Ah, Madge, I remember! I've called you last time, that woman is the one who's with Mr. Hogg in the fishing park!"
But before her friend could finish, Madge had already seen Wendy next to Larry.
The escalator was going up. The two of them were holding hands, both in black, looked like a parent-child outfit. And Madge paid special attention to it that there was no sign of Aunt Lee for a hundred meters in front or back. It could be seen that Larry was very dependent on Wendy, different from the coldness Larry had when he's with Madge.
Unknowingly, they may be mistaken for a mother-son relationship.
Although Madge knew better than anyone that it was the truth, could it be that this was the reason why they were particularly close?
All of a sudden, Madge was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong with that woman? Who does she think she is?" Madge's friend saw that Madge's expression was not good and hurriedly snorted, "Madge, that woman looks like she's up to no good! The last time I saw her in the fishing park, she kept on trying to curry favor with Mr. Hogg's son and never left his side! Does she really think that she can rely on playing tricks to marry into a wealthy family and successfully become a stepmother of his son?"
What Madge's friend did not know was that it was not Wendy who was sticking up for Larry, but Larry who was sticking up for Wendy.
After hearing this, Madge's mood became worse. She rarely lost her temper in public, "Will you stop talking?"
"I'm sorry, Madge..." Madge's friend hurriedly apologized.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Madge couldn't change her expression. She stuffed the shopping bag in her hand and said, "I'll leave this to you. I have to go home now!"
Watching Madge turn around and leave, Madge's friend could only continue to shop on her own.
Wendy and Larry took the escalator all the way to the fifth floor and arrived at the children's wear section.
Wendy lowered her head and looked at Larry, who had been following beside her obediently, with a gentle look on his face.
Just like when she took Larry to the zoo, before she left Ice City, she wanted to spend as much time as she could with Larry. Today, she mainly wanted to buy him some new clothes as a gift.
According to her experience last time, she didn't call Larry very early, but after confirming that it had already passed the punching time at work, she dialed the landline number and knew that Charlie had gone to the company. She was relieved and went to the villa to pick up Larry.
Uncle Lee drove them to the entrance of the shopping mall. The old couple seemed to particularly trust her.
The mall was very large. Wendy was afraid that Larry would get tired after walking for a long time, so she stopped and half squatted, trying to pick him up.
In the past, every time she was like this, Larry would take the initiative to stretch out two small arms to hold her neck. Today, he stepped back and shook his head to say, "I don't want a hug!"
"No?" Wendy was very puzzled. "Larry, what's wrong..."
Larry put his little hand back in her palm and let her hold him. He said very seriously, "Your arms will get sore."
Wendy was stunned for a moment, and her heart was so warm.
She leaned forward slightly and couldn't help kissing him on his little face.
Larry lowered his head shyly, and his little face turned red. He looked around in embarrassment.
Wendy was amused by his cute little appearance. She led him to the children's clothing counter and went in. The shopping guide welcomed them warmly and said, "Welcome, Miss. Is there anything I can help you with?" "There are a lot of new products in the store. Which style do you want to choose for your son?"
She smiled and waved her hand. "Uh, you're mistaken..."
"Aren't you mother and son?" The shopping guide hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, but you look quite alike!"
"Do we... look alike?" Wendy asked in surprise.
From the day she returned to the country and got off the plane, the taxi drivers and the nurses in the hospital all thought the same. It was understandable, but other than that, no one had ever mentioned it.
The clerk nodded as if to make a comparison, and her eyes lingered on each of their faces for a few seconds, "Yeah, maybe it's hard to tell from the facial features, but you guys looked a lot alike when you were smiling!
