Seeing his tensed expression, Wendy couldn't help but laugh and nod. "Okay!"
They held hands and entered the villa. Little Larry had been taken over for a while, and there were a lot of snacks on the tea table. At this time, his little figure was drowning in the sea of toys. Gilbert, who was standing next to him, showed a rare loving smile on his prim face.
After hearing the servant's report and seeing the two of them walking in, Gilbert stood up from the sofa.
Gilbert's gaze swept passed them before finally stopping on Wendy.
"You, come upstairs with me!"
After saying this seriously, Gilbert took the lead and walked out of the living room.
Charlie frowned at his father's words. "Dad!"
"Grandpa!" Even Larry stopped playing with his toys.
Gilbert saw that both his son and grandson were looking at him vigilantly. He was furious and asked angrily, "Why are you looking at me? I can't eat her!"
He felt a little embarrassed. He stared at Wendy and asked, "Are you coming or not?"
Wendy felt embarrassed. She tugged at Charlie, who was about to speak, and said softly, "It doesn't matter. I'll come down soon." "Wendy, if there's anything you need, just call me!" Charlie was finally unable to change her mind.
"You should also call baby!" Larry chimed in.
Seeing their worries as if he was a vicious scorpion, Gilbert's chest was almost suffocated. Out of sight,out of mind.He simply took the lead in striding upstairs with his hands clasped behind his back.
In the study, Gilbert and Wendy sat across from each other at the desk.
They were speechless for a time. Wendy put her hands on her knees. She didn't know how to speak, so she could only wait with her mouth closed.
About two minutes later, Gilbert cleared his throat and broke the silence. "I'm sorry about the things that happened to Larry four years ago. Today I called you up. I also want to apologize to you again. I'm sorry!"
"Chairman Hogg..." Wendy was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly brought up the past again. Although Gilbert had apologized to her and even bowed a lot when they were in the hospital, he didn't really mean it at that time. She didn't feel as solemn and sincere as she was now. She could feel his apology from every word he said.
"At that time, I thought you were going abroad with another man, so I wanted to take back Larry. I felt a little guilty in my heart. In order to avoid future trouble, I was afraid that you might threaten me with Larry in the future. Now, I'm really ashamed to have done such a thing and made you and Larry separate for four years!" Gilbert paused and said embarrassingly, "I sincerely hope that you can forgive me!"
Wendy's mouth slowly puckered up. She didn't make a sound immediately. After a few seconds of silence, she raised her head and whispered, "Chairman Hogg, you're the father of Charlie, and I love him!"
Hearing what she said, Gilbert was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood what she meant.
Perhaps she couldn't forgive him in her heart. After all, the pain of separating mother and son was real. However, she loved Charlie very much, and naturally, she loved Charlie's father. So, she would choose to forget this matter and respect this elder.
With a touched expression on his face, Gilbert sighed and said with emotion, "Miss Lim, you're a good girl. I was too stubborn before!"
Wendy was overwhelmed by Gilbert's praise.
Gilbert lowered his head and pulled open the drawer. He took out a box, which seemed to have been prepared long ago. He placed it directly on the desk and pushed it to her. "Take this."

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 😩...
