Wendy couldn't say a word.
If she looked back, the first night of her and Charlie seemed to be as violent as theirs...
At this time, all the dishes were served by the waiter.
Because Simon ordered more dishes just now, and now the table was full. Unexpectedly, there were only the two of them left. The atmosphere seemed to be more strange than before.
The next table was filled with laughter. Wendy hesitated to pick up the chopsticks.
She really didn't expect that after breaking up, she could still sit down and eat face to face with Charlie. She took the rice in the bowl and did not know what to eat. Suddenly, she thought of the last instruction given by Simon when he left. She bit her lips and said, "Charlie, you..."
Charlie, who was also poking rice in his bowl, looked over with his deep eyes.
Wendy paused for a moment before she continued to ask, "Have you really not had lunch for a few days?"
"Well." Charlie answered.
"Er, are you too busy at work?" Wendy had to continue asking.
Charlie looked at her and did not answer immediately. After two seconds of silence, he said faintly, "The after-effects of lovelorn."
Wendy was almost choked by the rice she just put in her mouth.
She couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or not. She suddenly recalled that when she had met him in the club two days ago, he taunted her in the end. He said she was heartless.
She observed him carefully and found that he seemed to be thinner.
After that, she didn't take the initiative to speak again. Charlie just ate silently. There were so many dishes that they couldn't finish them all. But they tasted every dish.
When Wendy saw that the rice in his bowl was all eaten up, she put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
"Well, I'm going to pay the bill." Charlie nodded.
Wendy followed him to the cashier and did not refuse. Originally, Simon said that it was his treat, but now he had disappeared with Emily, and Simon was his good friend, so it was normal for Charlie to pay the bill. However, she did not know where Simon and Emily went...
While she was thinking, Charlie had already finished paying and came over.
After walking out of the restaurant, Wendy tilted her head and said to Charlie, "Charlie, thank you for your meal. Then see you..."
"Let me send you back!" Charlie suddenly interrupted her.
Wendy shook her head and wanted to refuse, but Charlie had already carried the car key and strode to the parking space. Soon, the white Land Rover stopped in front of her, and the door of the passenger seat opened from the inside.
She pursed her lips and had to sit on it.
It was the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly on the windshield. It was not very dazzling, but very warm.
Wendy was speechless along the way. She gently pressed the seat belt in front of her with both hands, feeling a little unease.
Especially when he accelerated or stopped occasionally, the string of dragonwood beads hanging under the mirror gently swung. This pendant was bought by her in the temple...
"Why did you turn?"
All of a sudden, the Land Rover turned to the right. Wendy came to her senses.
She looked at the sign at the corner of the street and pointed at the back in surprise. "If you went straight ahead from the street just now, we would soon reach the gate of the community. If you do this, you'll make a detour..."
The two of them had walked on this road for many times, and each time they went straight through the passed way.
"I know." Charlie said.
Wendy was even more confused. How could he turn right if he knew it?

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 😩...
