A tall figure appeared in the night.
It seemed that he had been back home for a long time. He had changed his suit to a white round collar T-shirt and a pair of gray trousers. The key in his hand made some crisp sounds as he walked.
Wendy Lim had never seen Charlie Hogg dressed in such a casual way, so she was stunned.
She didn't react until his tall figure shadowed her
Wendy Lim wanted to stand up but paused. He was looking down at her.
Charlie Hogg put his hand that holds the key into his pocket. He had seen her from a far distance. She squatted under a street lamp, which looked like a stray cat. She blinked her eyes and looked so silly.
"How long are you going to squat here?"
"..." Wendy Lim did not move.
"Stand up!" Charlie Hogg said impatiently.
Wendy Lim shrank her shoulders and tried to stand up with her hands on her knees, but her benumbed legs made her shake a little bit, "My legs are benumbed..."
Charlie Hogg's face darkened and reached out one hand to help her.
She shook her legs and finally got rid of the numbness. Wendy Lim took a deep breath and relaxed. She soon noticed the tense atmosphere beside her, which made her nervous. She lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, "Sorry, I do not intend to be late. I've arrived here early, but forgot where I should go..."
"Stupid!" Charlie Hogg glanced at her, "Why don't you call me?"
"I..." Wendy Lim stammered.
Charlie Hogg squinted his black eyes, "You didn't save my phone number?"
"..." Wendy Lim couldn't answer.
Charlie Hogg's face turned darker than before. He flung his hand and left.
Wendy Lim looked at his back. In the night, he was like a beast that had been provoked. She dared not to go forward until he turned back and said to her in a low voice, "Hurry up."
"Yes!" She ran to him like a puppy.
When they entered his house and closed the door, the first thing Charlie Hogg did was to ask her, "Give me your phone."
Wendy Lim dared not to make him angry. She took out her phone from her bag and handed it to him with both hands.
Charlie Hogg took it over, and quickly tapped on the screen with his slender fingers.
When he threw it back to her, he snorted and said, "I've put my number in it. Remember it!"
"Okay!" Wendy Lim nodded obediently.
Hearing the answer, Charlie Hogg gave her a faint Wendy Lim bent down to untie her shoelaces. When she opened the shoe cabinet, she was surprised to find a pair of pink women's slippers inside.
She looked up at Charlie Hogg who was walking into the room, and her heart beat faster.
Unlike the formal one, the size of this pair fitted her perfectly.
Wendy Lim swallowed.
She followed him upstairs as usual.
Charlie Hogg stopped at the door of the bedroom, suddenly turned back and asked her, "Did you buy it?"
"Yes..." Wendy Lim lowered her eyes in embarrassment.
There were two packs in her bag. Every time she touched them through the leather, she blushed and her heart beat faster.
"Good." Charlie Hogg was very satisfied.
The next second, he suddenly put his hands on her waist and lifted her up.
"Ah!"

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 😩...
