Until the end of work, colleagues were still very excited in the office.
Girls were still regretting. They sighed from time to time that they didn't seize the opportunity to show themselves in front of the Prince Charming.
Wendy, who got this enviable opportunity, quietly packed up her things and tried to leave with a low profile.
As soon as she walked out of the office building, there was a car horn.
Wendy saw the white Land Rover on the side of the road at a glance. In the sunset, Charlie's profound eyes were looking at her through the windshield and he had been driving toward her.
In order to avoid being seen by her colleagues, she rushed to him.
She opened the door, got in, and fastened the seat belt. A series of actions were done in one smooth motion.
After the Land Rover entered the traffic stream and Wendy confirmed that she wouldn't be seen, she turned her head and asked Charlie, "Why are you still here?"
Charlie glanced at her and didn't want to talk nonsense. He said, "Go to the market and buy some food. Go home and cook for me."
"Okay." Wendy did not dare to object. Seeing that he was not in a high mood, and she might be the reason, she decided to obey his order.
They arrived at the market near their community, and there were a lot of people. They were crowded in a stall in the middle. The boss was busy collecting money, so he had no time to entertain them. He threw the plastic bag to them and let them pack what they want themselves.
Wendy bent down and lay prone on the vegetable stall, picking carefully.
If some vegetables were too far away, Charlie would reach out to help.
Charlie's calm voice covered the noisy sounds of vendors, and he picked up a pepper and asked, "Would you like some green pepper?"
"Yes." Wendy nodded.
"How about broccoli?"
"Yes." Wendy nodded again.
"How about pakchoi?"
"Yes." Wendy continued to nod.
She still wanted to go to the front of the dry food stall and buy some rice noodles so that she could make a steamed Pakchoi with some soy sauce on it, it must be very delicious.
Looking at her, who lowered her head and was lost in thought, Charlie's eyes flashed with cunning.
Suddenly, he picked up green onion and asked, "How about be my girlfriend?"
"..." Wendy bit her lip but did not answer. Charlie threw the green onion away and said in a somewhat exasperated tone, "You're not stupid anymore? When did you become smart?"
Wendy clenched her fists. Was she stupid?
However, when she saw his tight lips because he had not achieved his goal, she felt better in her heart.
In the evening, they went back to Wendy's home and got four dishes and one soup. Wendy didn't make too much meat, but only a dish of fried shrimp.
The two of them did not speak and ate face to face, only with the sound of chopsticks and dishes gently colliding. When putting down the chopsticks, Charlie looked at her and asked, "What are you going to do on tomorrow's weekend?"
"Er..." Wendy blinked her eyes. Obviously, she had not made up her mind yet.
"Do you want to go back to your hometown to see your grandmother?" Charlie raised his eyebrows and raised an opinion.
"Sure!" Wendy nodded almost without hesitation.
It had been a while since grandma was discharged from the hospital and moved back to the countryside. Nowadays, they basically communicated by phone. Grandma was old and didn't know much about smartphones. Only when the children from the neighbor's house came to her house that she could temporarily make a video call.
Charlie tapped the clock on his wrist with his index finger and said, "Well, we'll set off at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." Wendy was stunned for a moment, and then she understood the meaning of this sentence. Was he going to accompany her to return to her hometown?
All of a sudden, she was overjoyed.

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 😩...
