Wendy's body was a little stiff but slowly softened after being encircled in his arms.
He ran to Lim's house to pick her up but she had already left, and Johnny wouldn't hide it from him because her face looked terrible when she came out of the house.
She buried her face in his chest and closed her eyes, trying her best to smell the male scent emanating from his body. She wanted to draw some strength from him.
After a long while, Wendy spoke slowly, her voice getting lower and lower, "Then you should know that I am not the daughter of the Lim family. In fact, my father and I are actually not related by blood, I don't even know who I am..."
"So what?"
Charlie replied with a deep voice and pulled her out of his arms. He gazed at her and said, "Even if you are an orphan, what difference does it make? You're the woman I want!"
Wendy was forced to raise her head. When she looked into those deep and serene eyes of his, she could see that he said it in earnest.
As early as the beginning of their relationship, she had been the daughter of the Lim family abandoned outside, and he had never cared about it, and the only thing that he had always been obsessed with was her. Although she had lost her mother and her grandma, and now she was not even sure who her father was, so what did it matter?
She was his woman. That was enough!
Charlie touched her face with his long fingers and asked in a low voice, "Are you sad?"
After learning about what happened to her from Johnny, he immediately drove over and drove along the road in the coffee shop. As expected, he saw her walking alone in the crowd with her head down. It was a sunny day, but she seemed to be covered with dark clouds.
Especially when he saw her losing her wits as she walked on the streets, being knocked down by the passers- by, and then burying her head in his embrace, an inexplicable feeling of bitterness stuck in his throat. For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort her.
"No..." Wendy shook her head in a muffled voice.
Compared with sadness, she was more at a loss and didn't know what to do...
Wendy raised her hand and held him gently, shaking his hand. "Don't look at me like that. I feel like a poor puppy!"
Charlie was amused by her words.
He kissed her forehead and eyelashes. Then he pulled his lips and said, "You did a good job. You didn't cry."
"I don't like crying!" Wendy protested.
Charlie raised his eyebrows at her and asked, "What's next? Should I keep carrying you here, or should we go home?"
"Uh, let's go home!" Wendy sat back from his arms.
After putting down the handbrake, Charlie suddenly turned his head to the side and looked at her. There was a mischievous gleam in his eyes. "We haven't had car sex in a long time. Shall we find a quiet place?"
"Stop it..." Wendy immediately bit her lips shyly.
"No?" Charlie grabbed her hand and pressed it under the belt.
Wendy cried out in a low voice,"... Hey!"
After withdrawing her hand, she quickly fastened her seatbelt and sat up straight. She only dared to secretly glance at him with the corner of her eyes. The sunset glow coming through the window reflected on her cheeks, making her blush even more.
Charlie started the engine and merged the Land Rover into the traffic.
Well, she finally didn't put on a poker face.
Charlie sat on a high back chair with his back to the whole setting sun outside the window.
He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and placed it between his fingers. He flicked the lighter twice, but it suddenly occurred to him that if he was going to have a daughter, he should try his best to quit smoking and drinking. Even though she had no signs of being pregnant yet, he was still looking forward to it. Charlie's thin lips curled up and he put the cigarette back into the case.
Ewan, sitting opposite, wearing a suit, looked up just in time to see the corner of Charlie's lips form a slight arc, and even the indifferent eyebrows seem to have softened a little.
Ewan closed the document in his hand and put it on the desk. "I have read all these documents and know the basic information, tomorrow I will go to talk about further cooperation as agreed."

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 😩...
