Sitting on the seat near the window, Wendy was wiping the edge of the plate with a tissue.
On this weekend, she accompanied Emily out shopping. They didn't buy anything, so they watched a cheap movie in the morning. When they were hungry, they came out to eat something. When they were full, they would go back to the mall.
They two girls ordered the dishes. There were too many people, so the speed of serving dishes was a little slower than usual.
Emily had just gone to the bathroom and left Wendy alone on the table. Just as Wendy was about to clean Emily's plate with a napkin, a man suddenly sat opposite her.
Wendy thought it was Emily, but she was stunned when she looked up.
"Dr. Chin?"
Simon sat on the chair and leaned back, "What a coincidence, you're also here for dinner!"
"Well, it's a coincidence..." Wendy nodded.
"This Yunnan restaurant is good. I've eaten it once! Especially the steamed chicken, which tastes exactly the same as the ones I've eaten in Dali!" Simon said. When he was not in the hospital, he was very natural and unrestrained.
"I see..." Wendy nodded again.
In fact, she didn't know it. It was Emily who recommended this restaurant to her. It seemed that they also ordered the steamed chicken just now...
Wendy looked up and found that Simon was stroking his chin and staring at her, as if he wanted to see through her mind.
She uncomfortably bit her lip and asked, "Dr. Chin, why are you looking at me all the time?"
"I think you are awesome!" Simon put down his hand and leaned forward.
"Uh..." Wendy was a little confused. "Why do you say that..."
"Didn't you dump Charlie again? Isn't that awesome!" Simon raised his eyebrows. "Hey? Miss Lim, tell me the truth. Are you addicted to dumping Charlie?"
"..." Wendy was embarrassed.
Seeing that she was very embarrassed, Simon stopped joking and asked, "Are you by yourself?"
"No, I'm with my best friend..." Wendy shook her head.
"That's just right!" Simon clasped his hands together and said, "There is no seat in the restaurant, so may I eat together with you two, I'll pay. How's that? Charlie and I, together with you and your best friend, let's have lunch!"
"..." Wendy opened her mouth.
A familiar figure flashed in her sight. Simon raised his hand and said, "Charlie, come here!"
There was a fleeting surprise in Charlie's eyes. Soon, he returned to normal and walked over with steady steps. He looked at Wendy who was sitting beside Simon with her knees slightly bent.
"There's no place left. Miss Lim said that we can sit with her!"
"Is that so?" Charlie asked.
Of course not!
When did she say that? Obviously...
Before Wendy could refute, Simon had already called the waiter and turned over the menu. "What else do you want to eat? Add a few more dishes!"
Simon ordered four more dishes and a bowl of soup.
When the waiter brought in the extra tableware, the atmosphere on the table was a little strange.
Wendy was facing Simon face to face, but it was a rectangular table. In the corner of her eyes, there was the outline of Charlie's stern side face. She lowered her head all the way, holding a cup of water and drinking, looking steadily forward.
It was not until Emily came back that she broke the silence. "I'm back! Ah, Mr. Hogg? Aren't you..."

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 😩...
