As the car drove through the streets of New York City, blond and blue-eyed foreigners passed by from time to time.
Wendy was almost squeezing the phone she was holding in her hand to the point that she was going to squeeze water out of it! From time to time, she puckered her lips and looked over at Charlie, who was leaning back against the back of the chair, gazing ahead with his deep, restrained eyes, with no other expression on his face.
But if she looked closely, she would find that his eyebrows were tight and his mouth was sunken.
Wendy licked her lips and said hesitantly, "Charlie, are you upset?"
Charlie didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye!
"You're still upset..." Wendy's tone was already positive this time. She reached up and covered the large hand on the knee, with a hint of pleasantry in her voice. "Didn't I just explain to you that when I said I married Felix, it was just a misunderstanding and I promised to do him a favor..."
"Flmm." Charlie pulled at his thin lips very lightly.
"Then why do you have that face?" Wendy said innocently.
Charlie finally turned his head to look at her, it's clear that there's something he wanted to say, but finally, he just said, "I'm fine."
How the hell could she know what was in his mind?
But what Charlie thought was he had finally left her son, that clingy child, to his uncle and thought that he and Wendy could finally spend the rest of the day together. Who would have thought that Felix would come and disturb them? Furthermore, he was still bothered by what happened between Felix and Wendy four years ago...
Seeing the driver in front of her slowing down, Wendy looked out the window and saw the restaurant where she was going to meet Felix.
"Looks like we're here!"
Hearing this, Charlie sat up straight as well.
Wendy looked at Charlie with hesitation and couldn't help saying, "Charlie, if you don't want to, I can go by myself..."
Originally, when Felix knew she was in New York, he only said he wanted to have dinner with her and didn't know she and Charlie were together.
"Don't even think about it!" Charlie glared at her.
Wendy:"..."
When the car stopped, they got out of the car. Felix had already stood at the door of the restaurant and waited.
Because of the years of military service, even after another four years, Felix still looked the same, and seemed a little leaner and stronger, and still smiled like the first spring breeze after a harsh winter.
"Wendy!" As soon as Felix saw her, he immediately laughed and said.
She moved to Canada from Ublaka because she thought she lost her child, and although she did not lose contact with Felix for four years, she did not see him much, and it had been a long time since they met.
Wendy was so excited that she wanted to wave her hand, but an arm suddenly appeared on her waist, holding her tightly.
Sensing an obvious warning from Charlie, she put her hand down until she reached the front of Felix and called, "Felix!"
Felix was also surprised to see Charlie immediately afterward, but not at all surprised as if he had an inkling that such a day would come the day he learned of her return to Ice City.
"Mr. Flogg, long time no see!" Felix smiled and stretched out his hand like before.
"Long time no see." Charlie also extended his hand.
After shaking hands for two seconds, the three of them entered the restaurant.
It was a high- end western restaurant, with high-quality decoration and exquisite dishes. Felix seemed to be a regular customer here, and once inside, the restaurant manager personally took them to a very quiet location.
The food was served very quickly, and soon after ordering, the waiter served everything from starters to entrees.
Finally, the waiter brought up decanting red wine, walked around the dining table, and poured the wine for everyone. The rich mellow wine, which had been treasured for many years, hung from the glass after being gently shaken. The aroma of the wine was intoxicating.
Felix smiled and raised the red wine glass, "I'll do my part as a host tonight!"
"Thank you." Charlie also raised his hand.
Wendy, who was sitting aside, also hurriedly picked it up, making a crisp sound of impact.
When she was about to take it back to her mouth, Charlie suddenly turned his face and said, "Wendy, you can't drink it!"
"It doesn't matter, this is just red wine..." Wendy explained.
"No!" Charlie frowned.

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 😩...
