Wendy gently pulled his arm and said, "Charlie, don't..."
How could he compete with his little son for this?
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Charlie stood up and strode out of Larry's room, a little depressed.
Gazing at his receding figure, Wendy could not help but bite his lips. It was just that this night had a special meaning for her. She wanted to stay and accompany Larry, so Charlie had to sleep alone no matter how aggrieved he felt.
Larry slept soundly with his small mouth slightly open. Now that he got his mother back, Larry must be thrilled, for he kept smiling even when he was asleep.
Wendy watched her with a big smile, wiping the sweat on his forehead from time to time.
When she took off her slippers and was about to lie down next to Larry, the door was suddenly pushed open. Once again, Charlie's tall figure walked in. He put down the quilt and pillow in his arms and made the bed silently.
Wendy opened her mouth in surprise and then burst out laughing.
She thought he was unhappy and left, but it turned out that he went back to their room to take the quilt.
Charlie's eyes swept over his sleeping son's face. He snorted and waved to her. "Wendy, I get something to show you."
"What's that?" Wendy walked around the end of the bed, slowly and curiously.
Charlie pulled her to sit down next to him. Then he took out a paper bag from behind and opened it. There was an agreement with a duplicate copy.
Wendy took one and browsed its pages. When she understood what it was, she opened her eyes wide in shock and looked at him, "Well, Charlie..."
"If there's nothing that you don't understand, sign it." Charlie took out a black pen and said, pointing to a blank space on the last page. He pursed his lips and explained, "This agreement includes all my property at home and abroad, including the circulating shares and funds, as well as all the shares that I have earned over the past few years since I took over the Hogg's Group. After you sign it, all of these will be yours. That means I will work for you from now on!"
"Charlie..." Wendy muttered.
Of course, she knew what this agreement represented. Everything, including all the property that he had got so far, was written in detail. Just as he said, as long as she signed it, all of this would be hers after marrying him.
"When did you prepare it?"
Charlie curled his lips and said, "I've prepared it long ago and planned to show you when we're going to get the marriage certificate!"
Wendy repeatedly shook her head. "... I can't sign it!"
In the beginning, they made a deal of money, but she decided to date him four years ago only because his domineering manner attracted her. She had never thought of getting anything from him. Charlie had given her a black card, but she had only used it twice in so many years.
"You have to sign it." How could Charlie not know what she was thinking about? He held her hand, his deep and affectionate eyes gazing into hers. "This is what I'm willing to do. Wendy, I want to grow old with you. If I betray you, I deserve to be deprived of everything!"
Being stared at by him for dozens of seconds, Wendy could understand his persistence.
Then Wendy decided to accept his kindness, the most practical and reliable promise a man could give to a woman. After some hesitation, she took the pen and signed her name with sure strokes.
Wendy had never cared so much about money. Johnny had transferred all the overseas property that he had earned to her, and she was totally bewildered. Now that Charlie also gave his assets to her, Wendy swallowed hard, feeling the thrill of making a great fortune overnight.

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 😩...
