Charlie's pupils suddenly contracted.
His deep eyes fixed on Wendy, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly. It seemed that he was not sure what she had said just now.
"What did you say?"
Wendy looked at him and bit her lip. "Let's... Let's make up, okay?"
She spoke out her deepest feeling.
On the way to Lim City, including the time when she had been waiting here, she had always been thinking about this. She wanted to be with him and wanted to hug him.
However, seeing that he remained silent, Wendy was a little at a loss and did not dare to go forward.
Charlie stared at her for a moment. He either didn't agree nor disagree. He pursed his lips and just took out the key, then he walked to the security door. In front of Wendy, he opened the door and stepped in.
Fortunately, he did not close the door.
Wendy followed him in with a thick-skinned face.
Without her slippers, she had to walk barefoot into the living room. Charlie had already took off his coat. He had wore the white shirt for a whole day, but there was still no wrinkle on it. He ripped off his tie and threw it aside, then raised his hand to roll up his sleeves, exposing his forearm little by little. Wendy stared at him and took the initiative to say, "I just heard about it today..."
"I went to Hogg's Group with my supervisor. He asked Mr.Chiang if you have come to Lim City's branch office. Mr. Chiang said that your father had personally convened the shareholders' meeting, and then I asked auntie, I..."
She was talking incoherently, even herself didn't know what she was talking about.
However, Charlie just listened silently and did not speak. There was no change in his facial expression, his face was still as calm and peaceful as before.
"I want to tell you that before knowing you, Charlie and Madge had already made this engagement. So, this is actually unfair to Charlie!"
"He said that I am your friend, so I can still live here at ease."
"Wendy, it doesn't matter if you don't understand
__ _ n
me.
A lot of voices turned around Wendy's ears.
Simon's, Emily's, and Charlie's, especially Charlie's last sentence, Wendy thought of how miserable his tone was when he spoke this sentence and felt as if there was a small devil whipping her heart over and over again with a whip in it's hand.
"Charlie..."
Wendy shouted in a low voice.
When he passed by her, she reached out her hand and grabbed the big hand that fell next to his leg.
First, she held it carefully and then tightened little by little. She asked in a soft and pitiful voice, "Charlie, you... do you still want to to be with me?"
Charlie lowered his eyebrows and looked at the hand that was holding him.
Then, he lifted his other hand to push her hand away, but he didn't use too much strength. Then he walked towards the water fountain.
Wendy dropped her hand and clenched it again.There was only air left in her palm, and her heart seemed to be empty.
She knew that he was angry. That day, he waited for her at the door with his suitcase. She saw the news of his engagement and mistakenly thought that he was really going to move away, so she congratulated him. At that time, he must be very disappointed...
Wendy looked at him. The light above his head was so warm, but it couldn't warm his indifferent eyes.
She suddenly remembered that when they broke up, he asked her if she was sure.
He also said, "You'd better think it over. I won't give you a second chance every time."

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
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 😩...
