How could she not mind? In a twinkling of an eye, the waiter served all the steaks.
Charlie hadn't spoken since he sat down. However, the better thing was that he would occasionally glance at her from the corner of his eyes.
With an extra person at the table, Wendy couldn't act natural and just sullenly cut up the beef on her plate.
Only Donna enjoyed the meal.
After the meal, Charlie called the waiter over to swipe the card. Donna looked at her and said, "How nice! Someone else paid the bill!"
Wendy could only let out two hollow laughs as a response.
Finally, they finished this meal. When Wendy was about to leave, Donna took her hand from behind.
"Wendy, you've drunk a lot. I have to send you back, otherwise, I won't be at ease if I let you go back by yourself!" After saying this, Donna looked at her nephew, "Charlie, then I'll borrow your car!"
Charlie answered in an almost inaudible way.
Wendy wanted to refuse, but didn't get a chance. Donna dragged her into the car.
The black Bentley was driving in the night. The driver was driving steadily towards the apartment building by the river. The window was half-opened, and the cool night breeze was very comfortable. Donna leaned on the seat lazily and asked her with a smile, "Are you full?"
"Uh, I'm full..." Wendy nodded.
"Is that so? I'm not full!" Donna curled her lips.
"..." Wendy chose to remain silent.
Because there was still a lot of beef left on Wendy's and Charlie's plate when Charlie was paying the bill, Donna ate up all the food on Wendy's plate, and even the side dishes on it were completely finished.
"This home chef is so average. When I go back, I'll give it a bad comment on the Internet!" Donna looked at Wendy with a smile and even smacked her lips. "Wendy, I still think that the egg fried rice you cook is the best! When will you do it for me again?"
Wendy smiled and said, "Aunt, anytime you want..."
While she was calling Donna, Charlie, who was sitting in front of her, turned around and looked at her.
In the car, where the neon passed by at a constant speed, his deep and serene eyes were narrowed slightly.
Their gazes collided, and Wendy was the first to shift her gaze away.
"Okay!" Donna patted her with satisfaction.
After driving for a while, Donna seemed to suddenly think of something and tilted her head to ask her, "I seem to have heard that Larry is very close to you?"
Wendy subconsciously looked at the co- driver's seat in the front.
Charlie didn't turn around this time. In the rearview mirror, she could see that his eyes were as bright as an old well. She said carefully, "Not bad..."
"I got off the plane to see him yesterday, and he kept talking about Wendy, Wendy! I almost got calluses in my ears!" After Donna finished her words, she stretched out her hand and touched her ears exaggeratedly.
Even if Wendy didn't see it, she could imagine the adorable face of Larry when he called her name in a soft voice.
Her expression could not help but soften. She nodded and said, "Larry is adorable!"
When Wendy said this, she looked at the rearview mirror again. She thought that a father would be proud when he heard others praise his son. She thought that she would see him raise his eyebrows, but unexpectedly, he frowned slightly.
Donna was also observing her facial expression in secret. After hearing what she said, she could not help smiling.

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 😩...
