Wendy was held in his arms, and her eyes were fixed on the outline of his side face and bulged masseter muscles.
"Honey..." Helen complained to Johnny.
Johnny couldn't keep calm. He cleared his throat, frowned and said, "Charlie, this is my family issue."
It meant that Charlie shouldn't interrupt when he was teaching her daughter.
"So I don't think there's much possibility for the cooperation between the Urn's Group and the Hogg's Group." Charlie's lips twitched, and answered in a casual way.
Johnny's face changed slightly. After a short moment of judging, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it! We're family. It doesn't make sense to figure who is right or not. We've argued and vented. That's over!"
Then, he turned around and walked out.
"Dad!" Yolanda was not reconciled.
Helen observed their expressions. At this time, she couldn't do anything more, so she pulled his daughter and said, "All right, Yolanda, let's go!"
Emily, who had been in the balcony, ran back. She drove them out like whisking flies, "Go! Go! Go! Hurry up!"
With a bang, she closed the door. The world was finally quiet.
Wendy's legs were soft, and she slowly exhaled after holding her breath for a long time.
She looked at Charlie beside her and swallowed. She didn't expect that he would show up here.
"You..." Wendy opened her mouth.
As soon as she uttered a syllable, she closed her mouth in pain and touched her swollen face.
Emily leaned against the door and shook her phone. She blinked her eyes complacently. "Wendy, I called him!"
Wendy understood in an instant.
Emily rushed over and put her phone back into her pajamas pocket. Then she rushed into her bedroom and quickly ran out again. She was already dressed up, "Ahem! I'm going out to buy some breakfast!"
After that, she ran to the door in a hurry.
When the door was about to close, she poked her head and winked, "Wendy and Mr. Hogg, I'm going to a place that is far away and I'll be back slowly. So just do what you want! No worries."
"..." Wendy was embarrassed.
She didn't know whether it was because she was slapped or something else, but she felt her face was burning.
After the door was closed again, there were only the two of them left.
Wendy was pulled into the bedroom by Charlie. The quilt was lifted a little and she sat on it. Charlie reached out his hand to pinch her chin. He frowned and looked at her face carefully. He looked serious as if he was reading a document in the company.
Both of her cheeks had been slapped. Johnny was a man and slapped her hard. The fingers marks on her face could be seen clearly, and there was some blood on the corner of her mouth.
"Does it hurt?"
Wendy was stunned because she found worries in Charlie's eyes.
But it disappeared soon. She almost thought that she had a illusion.
Wendy shook her head and then nodded honestly after being stared at by him.
When she sat down, half of her phone in her pocket was exposed. Her eyes swept over it, and she remembered that Emily said she had called him.
Emily ran to the balcony after Helen and Johnny entered the room. About ten minutes later, Charlie arrived. However, it usually took forty minutes' bus form here to Charlie's house.
That was to say, after Charlie received the call, he went out immediately, and it took him only ten minutes to drive to here.
This man...
Wendy opened her mouth slightly, but it still hurt a lot.

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 😩...
