Chapter 197
In the cafe, Wendy was restless. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The evening sun came in from the window, shining on the faces of Wendy and the man opposite her. Like a toothpaste advertisement on TV, the man smiled and showed his white teeth. Just by looking at him, Wendy felt stiff at the corners of her mouth.
When she got off work, before she could get out of the office building, she received a call from Donna.
Donna said that she would have dinner with her tonight. Without giving her a chance to refuse, the black BMW had already stopped at the side of the road.
Wendy had to get into the car. But she didn't expect that she was cheated into having a blind date. Donna had already found an excuse to leave, leaving her and the man opposite her staring at each other.
The day before yesterday, when Donna said this in the hospital, she still thought it was a joke...
Sure enough, the Hoggs were all actionists...
Wendy was very helpless, and it was not good to leave directly. This was the first time for her to have such an experience. She didn't know how to deal with it, so she had to hold on.
However, she had already secretly sent a message to Emily. She asked Emily to call her in more than ten minutes, and then took it as an excuse to leave. "Ms. Hogg's introduction just now was not comprehensive. My ancestral home is actually Shandong. I was lucky enough to work in Ms. Hogg's company abroad. Now I want to see if I can have a better development in China! But I have a residency card, if my future wife wants..."
Wendy listened silently and timely nodded, stirring the milk tea in her cup.
At this time, someone walked to the neighboring table. Wendy inexplicably felt a chill but she did not pay much attention to it, until—
"A cup of American black coffee please."
Wendy was shocked when she heard the familiar calm voice.
She turned her head and saw Charlie sitting on the chair next to the table. With a black windbreaker outside, he was wearing a hospital gown inside. His right calf was wrapped with splints, which made his movement a little slow.
"Isn't he supposed to be in the hospital? Why is he here?" Wendy thought.
The man opposite her asked, "Do you know him?" "Er..."
"Do you want to say hello?"
"No need!" Wendy immediately shook her head.
"What did I just say?" The man saw her confused expression and was not angry. He smiled and continued, "I see! I have a green card. If my future wife wants to live abroad in the future, I can go back with her! Miss Lim, where do you prefer?" "I don't want to go abroad..." Wendy said.
"That's good! It coincided with my thoughts, and I increasingly think that you are the one who suits me!" The man seemed to be very happy, and his eyes were bright. "How old are you this year?"
"24 "
"It's just right. We are fit for our age. If you are three years younger than me, there will be a generation gap between us!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang as the coffee cup was heavily placed on the table.
Wendy's breath paused and subconsciously looked at the other side.
If three years older caused a generation gap, then there would be two gaps between her and Charlie. Charlie was six years older then her.
The man on the opposite side was still talking endlessly, and the dark eyes from the side were glancing at her from time to time. Wendy held her mobile phone tightly. Why hadn't Emily called her yet!
She had to stand up. "Sorry, I've drunk too much milk tea. I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay!" The man smiled gently.
Wendy simply called Emily. Emily actually forgot her by playing games!
When she came back from the bathroom, she saw Charlie sitting in her seat and was talking to the man opposite. The man's expression changed from time to time. When she approached, they just stopped talking. Charlie got up, glanced at her calmly, and sat back to his seat.
"..." Wendy's face was full of confusion.
She sat down, but before she could wait for Emily's call, the man seemed to be unable to sit still.
"Miss Lim! I suddenly feel that we may not be suitable for each other..." In the end, the man rubbed his hands and looked at her with a complicated expression, as if there was a trace of suspicious fear in his eyes. "I have something urgent to deal with. I have to go now!"
Before Wendy could react, the man had already got up.
He picked up his briefcase and said gratefully when he passed the neighboring table, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome," Charlie said flatly.
Looking at the man's fleeing figure, Wendy felt puzzled. She also got up, but after biting her lips for a while, she still went to the next table and asked, "Charlie, what did you say to him?"
"We just chatted for a while." Charlie raised his hand and touched his chin.
"Impossible..." Wendy did not believe it.
Charlie picked up his cup of black coffee and took a sip. "I just told him that I was dumped by you and my right calf was broken. Well, he may suspect that you have a tendency to be violent."
"You..." Wendy widened her eyes.
Looking at her angry figure leaving, Charlie raised his eyebrows slightly and seemed to be in a good mood.
He also stood up, but did not leave the cafe. Instead, he slowly moved to the innermost position of the window, leaned over, and directly reached out his hand to tear off the tea list that the two people used to cover their faces.
"Why are you two here?"
After being discovered, Simon raised his hand and said, "Auntie asked me to come here to watch the show!"
"Little beast, did you see it?" Donna spread out her hands and laughed, "We Mr. Hogg ran out of the hospital even with limp legs, and he also ruined a good marriage! Such a bad guy!"
Simon couldn't hold back his laughter, and the corner of his mouth twitched. "I just heard it clearly, he didn't mean that Miss Lim has a tendency of violence. He said that she had special sex habits of dripping wax, using whips and iron chains, so his right calf was broken! If Miss Lim knew this, she would probably faint with anger!"
"Haha!" Donna laughed crazily.
Charlie leaned back on the sofa chair, letting the two of them making fun of his words.
After laughing, Donna came to the point. "Charlie, I went back to the Hogg's Mansion yesterday, and the mother and daughter of the Gray family were also there. I think they were discussing the marriage between you two."
"Hmm." Charlie narrowed his deep eyes. "Hmm?" Donna frowned and was a little anxious. "What are you going to do?"
"Nothing." Charlie's thin lips twitched.
"Charlie, are you really going to let go of Miss Lim like this? No sequel? Are you willing to let go?" Simon, who was next to him, couldn't help asking.
"When did I say I was going to let her go?" Charlie asked softly.
Hearing this, Donna looked at Charlie and soon smiled. "I see."
