He took a sleeping pill last night and fell into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes, it was past eight o'clock. When he came out of the bedroom, he saw the door of the opposite room was open. The quilt on the brick bed was neatly folded, and there was no one in the room. The first thought that came to his mind was that she went back by herself!
Wendy didn't expect him to have such a big reaction. She was stunned and explained, "I went out for a walk, and stopped by the shop to get something we can eat in the morning..."
"Well." Charlie frowned and nodded.
"Uh..." Wendy looked down at the steamed buns in her hand and asked for his opinion, "I can make two poached eggs for breakfast, with seaweed and egg-drop soup, or vegetable soup?"
Hearing this, Charlie said, "Don't be so troublesome. Just cook a bowl of noodles."
Wendy was stunned and asked uncertainly, "... noodles again?"
"Yes." Charlie pulled his lips.
Wendy replied with an "oh" and walked to the kitchen with her lips pursed.
There was still a lot of noodles left last night, which could be used for breakfast. She cut the steamed buns into slices and fried it with a layer of egg. In the end, she ate all the steamed bun slices. Charlie ate two bowls of noodles, including soup.
Last night, Wendy had asked for help from her neighbors. So when some neighbors went to the town for business, they brought back a small bucket of gasoline, which was just enough for them to drive the Land Rover out of the countryside and hold on to the gas station at the entrance of the town.
Not long after breakfast, the two of them were on their way back to the city.
When they entered the city, the horn of cars sounded one after another. Wendy opened her eyes in a daze and realized that she had fallen asleep.
Charlie, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was making a phone call. It seemed that he was engaged in some business and social activities. He frowned and answered with a serious look on his side face. He promised that he would be there later.
Wendy asked Charlie to drop her on the side of the road, but he insisted on sending her to the apartment building.
She pushed open the car door and walked to the front door of the apartment building with her bag.
But inadvertently, she looked back and saw that the white Land Rover did not leave immediately. With the engine on, Charlie was watching her entering the building with his side face to her. This scene reminded her of four years ago...
Wendy panicked in her heart and quickened her pace into the building. The white Land Rover was parked in the yard. Charlie pulled out his car key and walked into the villa.
The light in the restaurant was on, and Aunt Lee's voice came out. He changed into slippers and walked over with one hand in his pocket.
Just as he expected, there's a lot of nutritious food on the table. Larry was sitting on the children's dining chair, and Aunt Lee was standing next to Larry, holding a bowl and spoon in her hand. She was coaxing Larry, "Young Master, the beef is delicious, try some!"
"No!" Larry was obviously not interested.
Aunt Lee continued to lobby him. "Then have some vegetables. Young Master, you need more vitamin!"
Larry still shook his head, and didn't even look at it.
"Sir, you're back!" Hearing the footsteps, Aunt Lee turned back quickly.
"Yes." Charlie replied calmly.
Larry was sitting on the children's dining chair, pouting, and looked very upset when he saw his dad.
His dad showed him pictures of the countryside taken on his phone, with mountains and water, and one with pretty flowers in it. It was obvious that his dad ask Aunt Lee to watch him not go out, but went to find Wendy himself...
His dad was a bad guy, stealing his thunder.
Larry deliberately didn't look at his dad, treating his dad like air. Aunt Lee held the bowl and fed Larry for a long time, but there was no progress. She had to look at Charlie for help. "Sir..."
Charlie nodded and took the bowl from Aunt Lee, but he didn't feed Larry immediately. Instead, he used a spoon to stir the beef and vegetables inside, and looked at his son who was doing that cool pose, slowly raising his eyebrows.

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 😩...
