"Uh-huh." Charlie's lips twitched.
As he did not carry the towel with him, water was dripping down from his short hair, which had just been washed. He raised his hand from time to time, being afraid that the water drops might fall on her face.
Wendy carefully tried to confirm, "Do you...still trust me?"
"Yes." Charlie twitched his lips again.
This time, Wendy seemed to have confirmed that he was telling the truth. His facial expression appeared to be normal, and not a sign of unhappiness could be observed on his face. She suddenly felt delightful, but she still could not relax herself completely. She asked uncertainly, "Then, why did you take a shower as soon as you got home? Did you feel dirty simply because you have hugged me?..."
Indeed, Charlie often went to the bathroom only when he was about to go to bed at night. Most of the time, he would deliberately tease Wendy and asked her to take a shower together with him.
However, today, Charlie had gone directly into the bathroom to take a shower. It was because the company had newly recruited a cleaner, who was still not familiar with the cleaning work. When Charlie went to the company's Planning Department to inspect the work, the cleaner accidentally bumped into him, and the disinfectant in her hand was spilled on his shirt.
Before Charlie could put on a new shirt kept in the office, Tilly came in again.
Although Charlie did not trust Tilly's words at all, he was still very worried about Wendy. For this reason, he dared not delay any time, and immediately followed Tilly to the hotel.
"What's there in your head?"
Charlie seemed to be annoyed, and then amused by Wendy's foolish words. He simply reached out his hand and poking at her forehead angrily. Seeing that her body was leaning back, he snorted and continued, "Do you think I'm as foolish as I was four years ago?"
"..." Wendy was amazed and did not know what to say.
Charlie stretched out his arms and encircled her body. With tender and meaningful eye expressions, he said in a low voice, "I won't make the same mistake as I did four years ago. Wendy, I trust you no matter what happens."
Yes, now he always trusted his lover, his soul mate.
In the past, perhaps because he was still not fully confident about himself, Charlie was not sure about Wendy's feelings for him. The price they paid was to let themselves miss four years of sweet time. But now, the situation was totally different. They had already experienced so many ups and downs. He was now very confident in the love between them, and would not doubt Wendy's loyalty.
For this reason, even after seeing Wendy lying on the
same bed with another man almost naked in the hotel, Charlie was still 100% sure that she would not have betrayed him, that it was even more impossible for her to fall in love with another man!
Upon hearing this, Wendy almost cried with joy. She buried her face deep in his chest. "You have scared me, dear. I thought you would abandon me again..."
"You're such a fool!" Charlie scolded her.
Wendy giggled foolishly as he had described.
She was tightly nestled in his arms like a lovely puppy. He had just finished taking a shower, so his upper body was still naked and wet, with only a bath towel around his waist. He now felt that he had a characteristic reaction towards Wendy. "If you don't allow me to put on the clothes, I'll have to take off all my clothes. Then, our dinner will have to be served as a midnight snack!"
Wendy's face turned red, and she quickly inserted the clean clothes into his hands.
Charlie took them, but he did not put them on immediately. He suddenly thought of something and asked with a frown, "Did Francis see it?"
The tone of his words sounded quite depressed.
How could Wendy not know what he was referring to? She shook her head like a rattle. "No! I woke up first. I wrapped myself up with the quilt, and then I woke him up. We talked very little. Then, you came in with Tilly!"
After thinking for a moment, she confessed to him frankly, "Uh- huh, at most He's only seen my shoulder..."
Charlie grudgingly replied with a "Hmm...".
If Francis weren't as innocent as Wendy, regardless of whether he was Old Master Chase Wallace's grandson, Charlie would not let him go easily!
Wendy could not help but snuggle into Charlie's arms again and whispered, "Thank you, Charlie."
He had trusted her unconditionally and did not doubt her at all, which filled her heart with warmth, and she was touched and grateful for it. She also had gained more confidence she would be able to meet the joys and sorrows of life in the future.
The sun was setting, and the sunset glow had not yet completely faded away.

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 😩...
