As she hearing her words, Wendy's face suddenly turned cold.
It had only been one or two hours since she left the maternal store and went back to the villa. In such a short time, Madge called Tilly and told her the news. When their eyes met, she knew that Madge had already guessed it.
After all, no couple would visit the maternal store unless they had a baby to take care of.
She even thought that Madge might have been to the store to check the situation after they left. Otherwise, how could she call Tilly and tell her the news with certainty!
Wendy suddenly remembered that after she and Tilly turned hostility into friendship, she told her that she came back this time because Madge called her. It showed that she was right: Madge hadn't let go of Charlie in her heart...
She returned to reality from her memory and heard Tilly's concerned words. "Wendy, don't worry. If she is up to anything else, I will secretly inform you! However, you should also watch out and take care of yourself!"
"Yes..." Wendy said in a soft voice.
Then, there came Tilly's flustered voice. "I have to go there quickly. I have a feeling that Francis may have to escape from the window again! But we're on the 20th floor! Bye, and talk later!"
"Okay." Wendy laughed out loud.
After hanging up the phone, she found that Charlie had come in. He leaned over, put an arm on the edge of the writing desk, and held her loosely in his arms.
With his other hand on her shoulder, he looked at Larry beside him, who was doing his homework attentively. "Larry, go downstairs and bring Aunt Lee's readymade pigeon soup to Wendy. Your little sister wants to drink it!"
When Larry heard this, he immediately answered with his tender voice, "Yes, I'll go right now."
Wendy wanted to say something to stop him, but Larry had already jumped down from the chair upon hearing that it was his younger sister who wanted to drink the soup. Like a shot, he ran out of the kid's room.
As for Charlie, he swiftly took Larry's chair after he left.
Wendy frowned. She looked at him and reproached. "Hey! How could you send a four-year-old child to run an errand for you?"
Larry was a little child, but he could carry his small schoolbag by himself every day he went to kindergarten. Despite that, he still needed to be taken care of by adults. How could a father make his little son serve for him?!
"I want to be with you, only you this time." Charlie didn't think it was inappropriate at all. On the contrary, he replied confidently.
"..." Wendy was speechless.
Charlie glanced at her and asked, "Who called just now?"
Wendy looked down at the phone in her hand and answered, "Tilly."
"Why is she always pestering you?!" Charlie frowned.
"No, she isn't!" Wendy had to argue for her friend.
Seeing his face turn a little gloomy, she couldn't help rolling her eyes secretly. Perhaps, for Charlie, who was possessive about Wendy, would feel jealous of anyone, whether a man or a woman, who was close to her!
"She has no time to bug me now because her whole heart is on Francis! Aunt said that we're birds of a feather that flocked together. In my eyes, they're more suited to each other than us. However, she hasn't yet won his heart. I don't know if Tilly will succeed in the end!"

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 😩...
