Wendy suspected that she had an illusion.
She blinked her eyes. The tall figure was still there, and his eyes were still fixed on her.
Something flashed across her head.
She walked to him in a daze and pointed at the man who appeared suddenly, "You..."
"Are you silly?" The corner of Charlie's lips twitched slightly when he saw the silly look on her face.
Wendy nodded and shook her head fiercely the next second.
She was in an embarrassing look and asked, "Why are you here?"
No wonder she was surprised, Charlie appeared suddenly and he was so incompatible with the surroundings here.
Grandma came out of the house with tea in her hand. She waved to Wendy and said, "Silly girl, what are you doing there? Take Charlie in!"
"Okay!" Wendy answered.
As soon as they entered the house, grandma asked her to prepare some tea.
Wendy brought them some hot tea. Her eyes were unable to move away from him, "When did you arrive?"
He was still in a black hand-made suit as usual. His sleeves were very neat and tidy. There were two cufflinks inlaid with red agate on it. It seemed that he had just finished a meeting.
"Just arrived," Charlie replied indifferently.
"It hasn't been long since you left, and Charlie arrived. I planned to call you!" Grandma added. When she looked at Charlie, she showed a bigger smile, "By the way, Charlie, you haven't had breakfast, have you? Let's eat together!"
It was an old round wooden table. The chopsticks and plates placed on it were imperfect.
Unlike the city, the food in the countryside was quite simple. The noodles were cooked with egg soup, which was made in a big iron pot. Most people from cities didn't get used to eating this kind of food.
"Charlie, let’s start, or it's getting cold!"
Grandma had already pushed the bowl and chopsticks to Charlie with smiling eyes.
Wendy was putting some pickles on the table, which were given by a neighbor. She looked at Charlie nervously.
He lowered his head and said, "Thank you." Then he picked up the chopsticks and held the bowls to eat.
Just like that time when they went to the food market, he frowned and was not used to it, but he didn't complain or show any dislike.
Wendy asked tentatively, "If you don’t like it, can I get you a glass of milk?"
"No need." Charlie shook his head.
Then under grandma's smiling gaze, he ate all the noodles.
After breakfast, Wendy cleaned up the dishes. Then, she was called to the room by grandma. Grandma gave her some money and told her to buy more food later. She didn’t take the money, but grandma insisted on giving to her.
Wendy understood grandma’s intentions and did refuse again.
When she stepped out of the yard, Charlie followed her and said, "I'll go with you."
"You needn't..." Wendy looked at the car key in his hand.
"Get in the car!" Charlie said in a deep voice. He sat in and started the engine.
Wendy had no choice but to follow him.
The grocery was not far away from their home. A few minutes later, the Land Rover stopped in front of a second-floor building at the entrance of the village. There was signage that showed it was a grocery. Some villagers came out with vegetables or meat.

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 😩...
