Wendy was completely stunned.
She did not expect Charlie to say that, and she was a little flustered and overwhelmed.
Will she consider it...
Her fingers gripped tighter, even she was dazed, especially those deep and serene eyes, were so similar to the ones he had four years ago. For a moment, she almost thought that those four years didn't exist and that they hadn't broken up.
"Buzz, Buzz-"
It was quiet in the car, and the vibrating sound of the phone was particularly clear.
Her phone was running out of power and automatically turns off when she left the zoo, so it could only be Charlie's.
The person who called seemed to be very patient, waiting for the call over and over again. Charlie frowned and had to take out his phone from the storage space next to the driver's seat.
Because it was dark in the car, when the phone was taken out, the bright screen came directly into Wendy's sight. Also, there was "sunny" shown above.
It was like a bucket of cold water being poured against her face.
Wendy glanced at Larry who was still sleeping. Maybe she's mistaken, but Charlie just asked her to stay because of his son!
The hand on the car door slightly pressed and unlocked the door. "You answer the phone, I'll go up first..."
Charlie frowned. When he was about to hang up the phone, the back door was pushed open and closed.
When he looked out of the window, the slender figure was like a 100-meter sprint, and she had already entered the apartment building in a blink of an eye.
Charlie frowned and unfastened his seatbelt, ready to get off the car. But when he thought of his son on the back seat, he gave up.
After glancing at the vibrating phone, he turned it off and threw it back into the storage space.
The shopping mall was full of people strolling around.
Most of them were women because shopping was always a woman's favorite thing to do.
Two young ladies came out from the luxury goods counter on the first floor. They both had long hair and a tall figure. It seemed that they had just finished shopping. They were carrying several shopping bags inlaid with brands and chatting with smiles as they walked.
One of them caught a glimpse of something when she was looking around, she quickly said to the other girl beside her, "Madge, is that Mr. Hogg's son?"
Madge hadn't been in a good mood for the past two days. Her friend asked her to go shopping and picked out a bag that she liked, and she was barely in a better mood. After hearing what her friend said, she immediately asked.
"Where is he?"
"Look, he's on the front escalator!"
Following her friend's finger, Madge indeed saw a little boy with a delicate face.
"Who is the woman next to him? And why does she look so familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere before?" Madge's friend muttered, and suddenly shouted, "Ah, Madge, I remember! I've called you last time, that woman is the one who's with Mr. Hogg in the fishing park!"
But before her friend could finish, Madge had already seen Wendy next to Larry.
The escalator was going up. The two of them were holding hands, both in black, looked like a parent-child outfit. And Madge paid special attention to it that there was no sign of Aunt Lee for a hundred meters in front or back. It could be seen that Larry was very dependent on Wendy, different from the coldness Larry had when he's with Madge.

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 😩...
