"The young master is back!"
As soon as they entered the villa, a servant came up to them.
Charlie responded and took her to change into slippers.
When they walked out of the entrance, a figure walked out from the living room. It was Ella, the current hostess of the Hogg family. She greeted Charlie with a smile, "Charlie, you're back."
"Auntie, is my dad upstairs?" Charlie nodded slightly.
"Yes!" Ella nodded.
At this time, someone walked out of the kitchen with a tray in his hand. On the tray were two cups of tea that had just been brewed, Wendy could tell that it was extremely expensive. Not only was the price high, but the amount supplied was small. People usually took it out only when there were valuable guests.
Charlie glanced around and asked, "Is there a guest in the house?"
"Yes!" Ella nodded again and told Charlie the truth, "Uncle Gray just came, and now he is in the study with your father! Charlie, I heard that you were injured and hospitalized a few days ago. How are you? Are you all right now?"
"I'm alright now." Charlie replied in a quiet voice. Between the stepmother and son, there was no great divide, but there had never been much closeness, always with some rusty courtesy.
Ella looked at Wendy, who followed Charlie in, smiled and asked, "Miss Lim, what kind of tea do you like to drink? There is also some flower tea at home, the taste is relatively sweet, you young girls should like it. It has a skincare effect! I'll ask the servants to make two cups of tea and send them to the living room. You can sit on the couch and wait for Charlie?"
Wendy had not had much of a conflict with Charlie's stepmother four years ago.
It could be that Ella was very gentle, and she was not dressed like those gorgeous noblewomen. She also looked at people with a gentle gaze and was not hostile, especially to Wendy, who was not welcome in the Hogg family.
However, she also thought of another person at the same time.
Ewan Shaw...
She had never met Ewan since she came back this time.
She learned from Felix, it seemed that also four years ago, not long after she left, Ewan also left the Ice City, went to a very remote small country in the southern hemisphere, and had never returned in the past four years...
Wendy was about to nod when Charlie took her hand and answered for her, "No, she's with me."
He then went straight upstairs with his long legs. The door of the study wasn't closed. The servant who came in to deliver the tea just came out and seemed to have reported to Gilbert that Charlie had come back, so Gilbert was not surprised to see Charlie knock on the door and come in.
"Dad, Uncle Gray."
After Charlie went in, he greeted them one by one.
Kim was picking up the teacup and paused when he heard the voice. "Charlie, how's your body recovering?"
"It's fine now!" Charlie said, pursing his lips.
On the day of the kidnapping, thanks to Kim's help, he brought the police to the warehouse in the suburbs in time. And after that, he was the one who arranged the hospital's affairs, and Charlie remembered all of that in the heart.
"Well, that's good. It seems that you are still young and fit, if it's me, I at least have to lie in the hospital for a year!" Kim said with a smile and noticed that there was someone behind Charlie. His smile was deeper. "Miss Lim is here, too?"
Wendy nodded her head as a greeting.
Gilbert looked over at the same time and his face darkened immediately. "How dare you bring this woman into my house!"
"I have something to tell you." Charlie said in a low voice.

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 😩...
