Hearing what she said, Simon could only say, "Then I'll send you off!"
"Thank you." Wendy nodded.
The lights in the corridor seemed to be very quiet. While walking, they met Simon's patients. Simon would stop and answer some simple questions from them.
Looking at him moving his neck, Wendy said sincerely, "You doctors are really working hard."
"Not bad, we're the angels in white!" Simon shrugged his shoulders and pulled the coat on his body. "Put on this white coat, we have to have a mission and responsibilities, don't we?"
Wendy chuckled when she heard that.
"Is it that funny?" Simon asked.
"No!" Wendy shook her head and explained with a smile, "I just suddenly thought that on the day when we were in the countryside, auntie told me that Charlie had cheated you to lick the iron in winter day when you were children. You actually would be deceived by him..."
"I was youth and ignorance. It almost becomes a stain in my life! Don't tell Emily about it!"
"I think I should give you an award as the best friend."
"Well, sounds good!" Simon raised his eyebrows. When he walked to the elevator, he looked at Wendy and said carefully, "Miss Lim, you just said that it was hard for me to be a doctor. In fact, Charlie is harder than me. You always took him as a god's favored one who seems to have everything. In fact, he is very tired and has a lot of bad things."
"To tell you the truth, the daughter of the Gray family has been abroad all these years. I have only seen her in some occasions a few times. Charlie actually has no private life. He works most of the time. If it's not for social engagement, he will only come out when we friends ask him to. He has a boring life. I thought that he would go on like this, but I didn't expect that he would meet you."
"Dr. Chin, what... what do you want to tell me?" Wendy pursed her lips.
The elevator door slowly opened. Simon said in a very serious tone, "I want to tell you that before Charlie knew you, the Hogg family had already made this engagement with the Gray family. So, this is actually unfair to Charlie!"
On the way home, Wendy was in a mess mind.
Not long after she entered the door, her phone rang again before she could sit on the sofa.
However, when she picked it up, she saw the name "Charlie" on the screen, and the tip of her finger curled up a little.
"...Hello?"
"What's the matter?"
There was no sound on the other end of the line. She pursed her lips and said, "If you don't talk, I'll hang up..."
As expected, this sentence had worked for Charlie all the time. He immediately asked in a deep voice, "Did you make the noodles?"
Wendy's heart beat faster, and she looked at the thermal box on the table.
"I don't understand what you're talking about..." She bit her lip and mumbled.
"You still want to lie to me!" Charlie said in a low voice, "I could tell just by smelling the smell that you cooked it! Only you can cook that smell! Wendy, don't try to lie to me!"
"..." Wendy was speechless.
She didn't expect that even his sense of smell was so keen. Just by smelling it, he knew that she was the one who cook the noddles.
"Didn't you say that you have no feelings for me? Then why do you cook noodles for me?" Charlie continued to speak in a gloomy tone, as if he was holding back something. After a few seconds of silence, he threw out a sentence, "Wendy, how can you torture me like this!"
Wendy was stunned, and her eyes were covered with mist.
Was she torturing him?
Was it her?
But why did she feel that she was the one who was tortured...
After a long time, Charlie said again, "If I want to, we can still be friends. Is that what you said?" "Yes..." Wendy's heart skipped a beat.

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 😩...
