Wendy Lim slung her bag in the front and walked along the road outside the villa.
When she came out of the Lim family, she didn't need to tell anyone, because no one would care if she stayed or left. She didn't think she needed to stay there. Yolanda Lim's words echoed in her ears, which made her feel uneasy.
It would take a long way to get to the bus station.
"Toot-"
The white Land Rover stopped beside her.
The passenger seat's door was pushed open. Charlie Hogg frowned and said unhappily, "You disobeyed me again! I've asked you to wait for me!"
"I just want to get home early." Wendy Lim got into the car.
Charlie Hogg started the car after she fastened her seat belt.
When he turned, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye, "Wendy, someone took away your chair again?"
"No." Wendy Lim shook her head.
"Then why do you look upset?" Charlie Hogg stared at her with narrowed eyes.
Wendy Lim prevaricated, didn't look at him, and put her hand on her lower abdomen, "Er...Maybe because of the period. I felt a little stomachache." When Charlie Hogg heard that, he curled his lips and said, "The period is really annoying."
"Come to my home tonight."
Wendy Lim clenched her fingers and felt a little embarrassed, "If I say I do not want to go. I can't do with you..."
Charlie Hogg looked at her lazily and said, "Can't do? So, just lying next to me to warm the bed!"
"No..." Wendy Lim still shook her head.
Although she knew that her refusal would make him unhappy, she still did it. As expected, his face darkened.
Before he could say more, his phone rang. Charlie Hogg tapped the screen and answered. Farr Chiang said on the phone, "Mr. Hogg, the customers from Beijing arrived one day early. I'll go to the airport to pick them up now and arrange the hotel for them..."
Charlie Hogg frowned and answered, "I see. I'll see you later."
Wendy Lim looked at the red light in the front and said while he was distracted on the phone, "Go for your work, I can take a bus home..."
After that, she pushed the door open and left.
"Wendy Lim!"
She had already left when Charlie Hogg realized.
The signal light turned to green, and the cars hocked horns from behind. Charlie Hogg's eyebrows slightly twitched, and he had to drive the Land Rover straight ahead.
Wendy Lim was afraid of being caught up by him, so she got in a bus randomly when she arrived at the platform and sat at the back.
The neon lights shined through the bus window, and her face was reflected in the window.
Wendy Lim shook her head in annoyance.
Why would she feel unhappy...
On the workday, Wendy Lim went to the hospital after work.
Maybe because grandma had been transferred to a better ward. She looked much better. Unlike before, now she could sleep well at night and be energetic after taking medicines in the daytime.
After dinner, grandma and Wendy talked about some interesting things in Wendy's childhood. Laughter burst into the ward.
Wendy Lim stood up and held the old lady's shoulders. "Grandma, you've been sitting for a long time. I'll put down the pillow, and you'd better lie down!"
Grandma smiled and agreed. She knew that Wendy was a dutiful granddaughter.
"If you're not doing that kind of thing, how can you have enough money to pay the operation expenses? Besides, I heard from the nurse that the expenses of this ward were twice as much as a common one! Yolanda and her mother were still controlling the Lim family. How could your father give you so much money?" Grandma shook her head and looked like she didn't believe Wendy's words.
“Wendy, if you're really doing the same thing, I won't blame you! But you need to stop. You'll still have a long way to go..."
"Grandma, please don't cry, I really don't do that!"
Wendy Lim was anxious and felt sorry for her grandma. She wiped the tears off the old lady's face with a piece of tissue. She was afraid that a bad mood would make grandma's condition become worse. In particular, the attending doctor often told her that mood was one essential factor that would affect grandma's health.
She gritted her teeth and blurted out, "I have a boyfriend..."
"Boyfriend?" Grandma was surprised. "...Yes!" Wendy Lim nodded. Since she had already started, she could only continue, "He is definitely not married! He has a high position in the company and comes from a good family. He knows my situation, so he gave me a sum of money to meet an emergency!"
Apart from their relationship, the other words were the truth.
Grandma looked at her for a while, then stopped crying, "How old is he?"
"Thirty..."
"Does he have any siblings?"
"I'm not too sure..."
The more grandma questioned, the less confident Wendy became. She was afraid that grandma might find something wrong, so she lowered her head and said, "Well, we knew each other for about three months, and we have been together for more than two weeks, so I haven't got to know his family..."
"He can help you in such a short time. It shows that he's really good!" Grandma nodded, and then looked at her with a serious look," Wendy, we can't accept his help casually. We must pay back the money in the future!"
"I will." Wendy Lim breathed a sigh of relief.
After comforting her grandma, she relieved and left the hospital.
However, she didn't know if it was because she lied to her grandma, she felt a little guilty when she received Charlie Hogg's call at night.

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
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 😩...
