Kim kept his smile on his face, waiting patiently for her answer.
Wendy suddenly didn't know where to start. So many words were stuck at the tip of her tongue. In fact, she just called him on a spur of the moment. Finally, she only hesitated and said, "In fact, it's nothing. I just want to talk to someone."
"Then it's a great honor for me!" Kim's smile deepened when he heard that.
"Thank you." Wendy replied.
She picked up the milk tea in her hand, took a sip again, wiped the cream on the corner of her mouth with paper, and said casually, "Mr. Gray, why did you and my mother... not end up together?"
"Because my mother died when I was eight years old. I have always missed her very much, knowing that you and she had once been in love, so I'm just a little curious. This seemed to be somewhat rude. It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient or you don't want to say it!" In the end, she explained.
Hearing this, Kim put down the coffee cup in his hand and paused for two seconds. Then he smiled at her with a tolerant smile. "In fact, it's not a problem. But it's all in the past. Like you, I miss her so much too!"
"You already know that your mom was my first love. In fact, like many ordinary love stories, we met at the best age and fell in love for many years. We agreed that when I returned from studying in Germany, she would marry me! I just didn't expect that later she broke up with me, and then she married someone else. I actually didn't blame her. That was her choice. I respect it and wish her well!"
"Oh..." Wendy said in a low voice.
Her eyelashes hung down, and at the same time, she concealed the expression in her eyes.
There was no way to investigate what had happened many years ago. From the words of Kim, she could hear that this was a very sorry love story. However, looking at the middle-aged man across from her, her mind had a million wisps of change. She didn't know it for sure, but this man was likely to be her father...
However, one thing she was sure of was that her mother had never forgotten him. Otherwise, she would not have kept that novel in German translation until now and often touched the poem on the bookmark again and again.
Kim sighed. "Your mother was a very good woman."
Even if he was jilted by her in the end and failed to marry her as he wished, he never regretted knowing her.
"Well, I know..." Wendy nodded slightly and adjusted her expression. She raised her head again and said gratefully, "Mr. Gray, thank you for coming out to chat with me today."
Kim showed a loving smile of elders, "Don't call me Mr. Gray. We have known each other for such a long time, and since I had a special relationship with your mother, you should call me Uncle Gray! Do you mind if I call you Wendy in the future?"
"That'll be great." Wendy paused for a moment and then called out slowly, "Uncle Gray."
Kim was very happy to hear that. He smiled and said to her, "If you need anything in the future, just come to me!"
After drinking the milk tea in the cup, she called the waiter over to pay the bill. The phone in her bag rang. It was from Charlie. Charlie was asking her in a deep voice, "Didn't you say you were waiting for me to pick you up at the Urn's house?"
"Uh..." Wendy stunned for a while.
She actually forgot that Charlie would pick her up after finished his work.
"Where are you now?" Charlie asked in a displeased tone.
Wendy honestly replied, "I'm at the Zoocoffee. I'm preparing to go back to the villa now."
"I'll go get you!" Charlie immediately said.
"No need!" Wendy looked out of the window. This place was far away from the Lim's house. She refused and said, "It's the peak time. Don't come here. Just go home. I'll grab a cab!"
When Wendy put down her phone, Kim asked with a smile, "Charlie's call?"

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 😩...
