Wendy took a bunch of spinach and threw it into the shopping cart.
When she got all the vegetables she wanted, the redness on her face finally faded away. When they was about to arrive the cashier, Charlie suddenly stopped her.
"Wait a moment."
Wendy was puzzled. "What?"
Charlie frowned slightly and twitched his lips, "One more thing."
"...What's that?" Wendy looked at the cart and checked.
Charlie remained silent and walked towards another goods shelf.
Wendy had to follow him. But when they got there, she wanted to bury her face in the shopping cart.
There were various kinds of colorful small boxes on the shelf. The slogans on them including "Ultra Thin Free", "Tickle me" and so on. It was really eyecatching but also embarrassing. Wendy was in a panic.
Charlie raised his eyebrows at her and asked, "Choose one you like?"
"I, I don't care...all good" Wendy stammered, not knowing where to put her eyes on.
"It's not only for me, but also for you." Charlie picked up one slowly.
"...I said all good!1' Wendy's face began to burn again.
Her hands were sweating on the cart. She always felt that people passing by were staring at her. She was going crazy.
After a while, Charlie was still selecting with great interest. She bit her lips and said, "Charlie Hogg, have you done?"
"Almost." He picked some and threw them into the cart.
The next second, Wendy rushed to the cashier with the shopping cart.
When she decided to stay with him at the very first, she had been to the convenience store to buy the condoms. She still felt awkward when she thought of it.
They were about to arrive at the cashier, when Charlie caught up with her, Wendy put the cart into his hands and said, "Er... I'll wait for you outside!"
After that, she ran away quickly.
Wendy walked out from another way and waited for him by the escalator. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was her best friend Emily.
Thinking that she hadn't told her that she wouldn't go back tonight, she hurried to pick it up.
When Charlie came out after paying the bill, Wendy had hung up, but she seemed to be a little absent-minded.
They took the escalator to the underground parking lot, which was really slow.
Wendy's eyes fixed on the escalator, and Emily's words were still echoing in her ears.
"Anyway, you should thank Mr. Hogg. If he didn't come that morning, how could your father, your stepmother, and your sister let you go easily? I think they might beat you hard, and maybe you'll be lying in the hospital now!"
"You should thank him for his help. You know what he wants most?"
"What's more, I don't ask you to put on the sexy lingerie and show on the street. You only need to show him. Don't be afraid!"
"Wendy, you should be grateful!"
Her shoulder was touched by someone, and Wendy came back to her senses in a panic.
"Why are you in a daze?" Charlie frowned.
Wendy shook her head and answered, "Er, nothing..."
In the end, they ran back to him and chatted with him.
Although Charlie kept a cold face, it couldn't stop the two passionate young women. They took out their phone and asked for his phone number.
Charlie frowned at them.
When he saw Wendy, he seemed to find the hope. He said to her in an impatient tone, "It's been a long time since you went to the toilet!"
"Uh." Wendy equivocated, "There was a long line..."
The two young women looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and left.
When Wendy was about to get in the car, she couldn't help looking back. One of the two women seemed not want to give up and looked back from time to time.
She thought of Yolanda who had been chasing after him in the Hogg's Group, and sighed silently in her heart. Not only beautiful women were dangerous.
After returning home, Wendy was busy in the kitchen.
These were things she often did, so she was very skilled. About half an hour later, she had already cooked four dishes and put them on the table.
There were meat and vegetables, but not too much on each plate. They were just enough for two of them.
When Wendy finished cleaning up in the kitchen and went upstairs, Charlie was making a phone call. It seemed that he was talking about work. With a serious look on his face, he uttered some syllables from time to time.
She put a glass of water beside him, pointed at the bathroom, and said to him in a low voice, "I'll take a shower first!"
Charlie nodded and continued the phone call.
Wendy turned around and walked to the bathroom. She looked back from time to time. While he was not concentrating on her, he secretly took her bag in her arms.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
