Hearing his words, Wendy looked at him in a daze.
She didn't seem to have recovered from the ghostly shock for a moment, her hands pressed to her breasts, rising and falling.
"I'm asking you!" Charlie frowned.
Wendy shrank a little and answered with a lingering fear, "My necklace is missing..."
She sneakingly gave him a glance and then heaved a sigh of relief quietly.
He really scared her to death!
"A necklace?" Charlie frowned again.
"Yes..." Wendy nodded and raised her hand to touch her empty neck. "It should have dropped in the dusk. I was afraid that someone would pick it up tomorrow morning, so I came to look for it."
Charlie glanced around. There were so many clouds tonight, and the moon hanging over his head was covered by the clouds. Only the river water reflected some light. Besides, there was grass all around. Although there were always people stepping on it, there's no way to find something if it's hidden.
"Where are you going to find it in the dark?"
Wendy signaled, "I brought a flashlight..."
"It's just a necklace. Go back to sleep first. Let's find it tomorrow morning!" Charlie said and was about to pull her back. "No!" Wendy shook her head resolutely. In the dim light, she shook her head and pursed her lips. "You can go back by yourself. If I can't find it tonight, I won't go back..."
Upon hearing this, Charlie snorted and turned around to leave.
After walking for more than a dozen steps, he stopped abruptly and his hands in his trouser pocket clenched into a fist. In his sight, the beautiful figure had already bent down again and began to search carefully with the flashlight in her hand.
She was surrounded by darkness, and only her slender figure could be seen.
It was very remote here, almost every family had turned off the lights. Thinking of the scared look on her face when he saw her just now, he frowned and turned back. She's lucky to meet someone like him, but if someone who's lousy, then it's no use screaming her head off...
Under the murky moonlight, Charlie's face was tight. "Do you know where you dropped it?"
"Well, I don't know..."
When Wendy looked back at him, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She didn't expect that he would come back again, pointed to a certain area and said in bewilderment, "Maybe it's in this grassland..."
"..." Charlie's face darkened.
But the light was so dim that his expression couldn't be seen at all.
When he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight above the camera, he began to regret that he had somehow turned back and accompanied her like a fool looking for a necklace in the grass in the middle of the night...
Wendy gave him a glance from the corner of her eye.
Neither of them spoke, but the male scent from time to time wafted up to her nose, made her less afraid than she had been earlier.
"Wendy!"
Charlie suddenly shouted.
Wendy raised her head."... Er?"
Charlie had already stood up straight, giving her a hint. "Come and have a look. Is it this?"
Upon hearing the words, Wendy trotted over and squatted down to take a closer look. Sure enough, there was a shining thing looming. When she reached out her hand, the little key with diamonds was revealed.
"Here it is!" She was very happy. "I was scared to death. I thought I couldn't find it tonight..."
"Can we go back now?" Charlie took back his mobile phone.
"Yes..." Wendy nodded firmly.

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 😩...
