"Okay, got it!"
After hanging up, Wendy looked cautiously at Charlie.
The volume of the phone call was quite loud and the two of them were very close to each other. She knew he must have heard what Aunt Lee said, or his face wouldn't have tensed up in an instant.
Wendy was also innocent, and handed the phone to him and said, "Well, Charlie..."
Charlie grabbed it and put it back in his pants pocket.
Seeing that his face was darker than before, Wendy summoned up her courage and reached out to hold him, then shook him gently.
Charlie closed his thin lips tightly. After two seconds of silence, he turned around and strode out of the hotel without a word.
Seeing this, she also trotted to keep up with him.
When they arrived at the front desk, Wendy held the room card and went over, "Excuse me, I'm afraid we're going to check out..."
On the way back to the villa, she did not dare to make a sound and tried not to provoke Charlie as much as possible. The Land Rover finally stopped in the yard, then they unbuckled the safety belt and got out of the car.
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Wendy quickly caught up with him and took his arm. "Charlie, don't be like this. It's not like we don't have another chance in the future..."
Charlie gave a cold snort, indicating that he was not happy.
"Smile!" Wendy tried to coax him.
"Heh heh." Charlie let out two ambiguous laughs.
Wendy raised her hand and rubbed her arms. He might as well not laugh. It was so cold...
When they entered the villa, a light was on upstairs, and the two changed their shoes and went upstairs one after the other.
Wendy walked into the children's room directly. Larry was lying on the carpet by the window with his short legs crossed, and he was grabbing his feet with his little hands. Aunt Lee was sitting next to him, kneeling on the ground with many storybooks in her hands, and reading made her mouth dry.
"Wendy-"
Larry was the first to see Wendy and he opened his mouth to shout.
Wendy rushed forward and held Larry, who ran over barefoot, in her arms, afraid that he would feel cold.
Aunt Lee also put down the storybook in her hand as if she had found a savior. "Miss Lim, you are back!"
"Look!" Larry put his arms around her neck and put his soft little face on it. He said with a smile, "I told you, Wendy will definitely come back!"
Wendy touched Larry's head and said to Aunt Lee, "Aunt Lee, you go downstairs and get some rest!"
"Okay!" Aunt Lee looked at Charlie behind Wendy and nodded.
As soon as Miss Lim and Mr. Hogg entered the door, Aunt Lee found Mr. Hogg's dark face and felt that the temperature in the room dropped several degrees. Aunt Lee shivered and quickly left.
Larry also soon found that something was wrong. He whispered in Wendy's ear, "What's wrong with Daddy?"
"Nothing..." Wendy faltered.
Larry heard what she said and quickly nodded his head in understanding.
Daddy must be naughty again~
Wendy saw that Larry hadn't changed into his pajamas yet, he must have insisted on waiting for her. So she held him in her arms and walked into the bathroom. "Sweety, let's take a bath first, and then go to sleep, okay?"
"Alright!" Larry nodded.
Wendy put Larry in the bathtub first, then turned around and walked out.
Seeing Charlie still stand there with his hands in his pockets, it seemed that he was thinking about something or he had a cold face and didn't want to talk to anyone.
"Well, Charlie, you go back first. I'll come to you later..." She couldn't help but walk over and talk to him in a low voice.

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
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 😩...
