"Aunt!"
Before Wendy could say anything, Madge had already greeted Donna with a smile.
Madge knew that Donna had always been close to Charlie. She loved Charlie very much, so she wanted to please Donna as well.
Donna also smiled, but she waved her hand and said, "Save it! Madge, don't call me aunt. I'm not used to it. You can call me Ms. Hogg or Aunt Donna!"
"Aunt Donna." Madge kept a smile on her face.
"Yes!" Donna responded loudly, and then she took Wendy's arm and said intimately, "Wendy, let's go to the living room to have some fruit. I have something to tell you!"
After that, Donna left with Wendy.
Madge, who was left on the spot, looked terrible.
"Don't be afraid, I'll cover you tonight!" Donna whispered in Wendy's ear, "If she gets the chance to talk to you again, you can call me. I'll help you tease her like what I did just now!"
"Aunt, thank you..." Wendy said sincerely.
"Aren't you giving me something in return?" Donna slowly raised her eyebrows.
"Er, what do you want?" Wendy blinked her eyes. Donna seemed to have prepared for this for a long time. She immediately said, "It's very simple. Make me egg fried rice like you did last time!"
"..." Why egg fried rice again?
Under Donna's expectant eyes, Wendy nodded uneasily.
When the two of them just walked into the living room and sat on the sofa, Charlie was also done with the phone and followed them. Wendy was surrounded by Charlie and Donna, they were like two guardians. Wendy felt relieved somehow.
On the tea table, there were fruits and snacks after dinner. Linda was chatting with the Hogg's couple. It was a peaceful atmosphere.
"Linda, brother Lu called me last night. He said he felt very sorry that he couldn't come back!" Gilbert said with a smile, "Never mind, we are family! Anyway, he has been in Berlin for more than a year. It seems that he has a thing for Germany!"
Linda also laughed, and inadvertently looked in the direction of Wendy when she's speaking. "He's over there on an important project that will take some time to finish, and he does have an interest in Western culture."
"Don't tell me he's planning to settle down there?"
"That won't happen. After all, our home is here!" Linda shook her head and said with a meaningful smile, "Brother Hogg, I think if there's anything important between our two families, he'll drop what he's doing and go back, don't you think?"
Gilbert nodded with a smile. Then he stood up and looked at his son and Madge, saying, "Charlie, Madge, come to my study." Charlie frowned and did not move.
Gilbert's face fell.
Seeing this, Wendy gently tugged at the corner of Charlie's clothes and whispered, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here..."
"Okay." Charlie finally nodded and looked at Donna.
Donna gave him a reassuring look and said, "You go!"
Over there, Gilbert had already taken the lead to go upstairs, while Madge was waiting at the stairs with a sweet smile.
As they disappeared upstairs, Wendy took her eyes off them. There was a small peel-off orange in her hand. Donna was raising her eyebrows at her.

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 😩...
