After walking along the riverside for more than ten minutes, Wendy noticed that he always kept a distance from the river.
Thinking of that she had once taken him out of the river, she tilted her head to look at him and ask, "You really don't know how to swim?"
"Yes." Charlie nodded. He kept silent for two seconds and added, "When I was a child, I got drowned by accident."
So it left him a shadow?
"Where did you get drowned?" Wendy blinked with curiosity.
"The bathtub." Charlie said in a deep voice.
Wendy wanted to control her expression, but she failed.
Although he was a child at that time, he had been afraid of water since he was drowned in the bathtub, which was so inconsistent with his current role, the CEO of a big company.
Charlie narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth, "Stop laughing!"
Wendy tried hard to hold back her laughter, but she was totally out of control. He pulled her into his arms with a dark face and kissed her deeply, swallowing all her laughter, "I said stop."
"Okay, okay..." Wendy kept nodding her head and looked around to see if there was anyone else who noticed them.
Here was different from the city. If anyone saw their intimate behaviors, they could not go out for the next few days, because people would gossip about them.
After letting go of her, Charlie stood still. The cigarette in his hand was almost burnt to the end of the sponge, but he didn't smoke it again. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Uh, what are you looking at?" Wendy was puzzled.
Charlie glanced at her lazily and said slowly, "I'm researching a good place to s*x outdoors."
"..." Wendy almost jumped up.
"But no good place here." Charlie said with a slight pity in his tone.
Why this man always thought about s*x!
Wendy couldn't talk with him anymore. Looking at the smoke rising from the bungalow not far away, she changed the topic in a hurry, "Let's go back. We’ ve been out for a long time. I’m worried about grandma when she was alone at home!"
When they returned home, grandma had taken medicine and fallen asleep.
Wendy looked at the time and began to prepare lunch. She brought two kinds of vegetables from the kitchen to the yard and started to deal with them.
She carried a small stool and sat on it. She always felt that someone was moving at the door. It seemed that he was secretly looking inside. Wendy frowned, but she didn't think much about it. Most of the people in the countryside were familiar with each other. Maybe they just looked around curiously when passing by, especially when there was a big car parked in front of the door, which was really attractive.
After dealing with the vegetables, she washed them up and went to the kitchen.
When she looked up inadvertently, she saw Charlie leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen. He was very tall and it seemed that he would reach the doorframe if he raised his head a little higher.
Wendy cut all the vegetables and looked up, only to find that his eyes were still fixed on her.
It seemed that because there were only the two of them in the kitchen, his eyes were completely focused on her.
Under his gaze, Wendy really couldn't be herself. She almost put the wrong seasonings into the pot several times. Finally, after frying the vegetables, she added some water and covered the pot with a wooden lid. She checked the cabinet and said, "There's no soy sauce. I'm going to buy one!"
But when she got up, she was worried again. The wood- burning stove, unlike the gas or electric cooker, needed someone to add firewood from time to time.
"Charlie, can you help me look at the stove?" Wendy had to turn to the only living thing in the kitchen.
"Okay." Charlie didn't refuse and walked over.
Wendy handed him a fan, brought a small stool for him, pointed at the stove and said, "You can sit here. If the fire begins to die down, you can fan like this, and then add some firewood..."

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 😩...
