Charlie did not enter the house but stood at the entrance.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed Wendy's number again, but still, no one answered.
Charlie then called Simon, who happened to be with Emily, and upon hearing Charlie's inquiry, was immediately surprised to say that he had not seen Wendy.
Hanging up the phone, the shudder in Charlie's heart became even more intense.
Without hesitation, he dialed another number, "Uncle Gray, it's me!"
When Kim received Charlie's phone call, he was at home. He didn't even change his slippers. With his hands behind his back, he endured his wife's incomprehensible ramblings and scoldings.
"Charlie?"
Kim was surprised to get Charlie's call. He walked over to the floor- to- ceiling window and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Uncle Gray, you met Wendy today, didn't you?" Charlie asked directly.
"Yes!" Kim nodded, still puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"When did you part with her? She's been out of touch and hasn't come home until now!"
"Can't get in touch? What's going on!" Kim also looked serious. He recalled and said, "We didn't stay long when we met. There was an interlude in the middle. I left early without even finishing the coffee! I don't think Miss Lim will be there for long either, did she go to a friend's place?"
When it came to the interlude in the middle, he couldn't help but look back at his wife.
"No, I can't find her now!" Charlie said in a deep voice.
"Charlie, do you suspect that she is missing?" Kim frowned and asked.
Charlie didn't answer, but the meaning of his words was obvious, "The last time you saw her was in the cafe of the bookstore, right?"
"Yes!" Kim was certain.
"I am going to get the surveillance video now!" After saying that, Charlie hung up the phone.
Kim held his phone with a serious look on his face.
He didn't think Charlie was over-cautious. Instead, he was worried that something would really happen to Wendy...
Because of the distance, Linda did not hear clearly what Kim said on the phone, but she still heard the words "Miss Lim". She immediately got up from the couch and ran over, regardless of her usual image. "Kim, you've already returned home, but you still dare to think about that shameless Miss Lim. Are you being ashamed of yourself?! I'm ashamed of you!"
Kim didn't seem to hear anything. All he thought about was what Charlie had said on the phone just There was a sound coming from upstairs, and Madge, who was wearing pajamas, walked down, "Mom and Dad! What are you arguing about? I just heard your quarrel in the bedroom! What happened?"
Linda saw that her punches had landed on the cotton and did not have any effect. She gave her daughter a hint.
"Dad?" Madge immediately looked at his father.
"Your mom is on menopause!" Kim frowned, then he held the phone and said, "I have something urgent to do here. Madge, take good care of your mom!"
As soon as he finished his words, he strode to the entrance.
Linda stood up and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Madge. Madge shook her head at Linda with a confident smile on her face.
When Kim's car arrived at the cafe, Charlie was coming out of it.
"Charlie, how is it going?"
Charlie was slightly surprised to see Kim, but he couldn't care so much at this time. "I've watched the surveillance video, but the alley here is deep, and the spot she happens to be standing in is a dead end, and there's no useful information!"

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 😩...
