Chapter 27 Meet Her Friend
But in fact, Wendy didn't meet Ellis at all! Gradually, Wendy felt relieved. She didn't want to do it in secret anymore...
One day, Wendy was peeling an apple for her mother in the hospital. In the past few days, she came to the hospital to accompany her mother from time to time, so Cheryl was very happy and looked good, but she only asked some questions that Wendy didn't know how to answer.
For example, now...
"Wendy! Why didn't your handsome friend come here these days? He often came to talk with me when you were away a few days ago! " Like a child, Cheryl kept asking Wendy questions.
Wendy froze for a moment and even stopped peeling the apple. "Mom, he might be busy recently..."
"But isn't he working in the hospital? He should be in the hospital even if he was busy! Why didn't I see him? " Cheryl continued to ask.
Wendy was stunned, "Alas! Mom, we are just ordinary friends, how can he come to us for a long time! Maybe he has his own business... "
Wendy explained patiently, hoping that her mother would not be suspicious. But obviously, her wishful thinking was wrong. "Ordinary friend? How could it be possible? I think he likes you very much, he even forced me to tell him about your childhood... "
Wendy's face darkened, it seemed that even her mother could tell that Ellis liked her, only she herself was stupid. In fact, at the moment when the inexplicable love emerged, she should have strangled it into the cradle.
Now... She didn't have much money now, but her mother's condition was not stable, by then... She didn't dare to think about it.
After leaving the hospital, Wendy called Chelsea, who was watching a movie with Wilson, but when she heard the phone call from Wendy, she immediately came to the cafe with her boyfriend.
Seeing that Wendy was sitting in front of them, Chelsea rushed up and gave her a big hug. "Hey, what have you been doing recently? Why didn't you come to me? Do you know how much I miss you? "
Thinking of her recent life... It was hard for Wendy to tell Chelsea the truth, how could she make her best friend worried? So she pulled her to sit down with a smile and said, "Well! I'm too busy recently. "
Wilson smiled gently at Wendy and sat opposite to her, looking at his girlfriend dotingly. Wendy was envious... Being loved and doted on by such a man was truly a life without regret!
Wilson was an excellent lawyer with a wide range of contacts. Although he was eloquent in the court, what he did in private was not in accordance with his appearance. In fact, Wilson was a man with few words in private. However, there were a lot of words of Chelsea, and the two were complementary to each other. Wendy had always thought that Wilson and Chelsea were a perfect match.
"Humph! Who believes you? " Chelsea pretended to be angry and turned her face away, Wilson still looked at Chelsea with a doting look. Wendy felt a little embarrassed and smiled at him.
Wilson also sighed deeply and couldn't help saying, "Chelsea, you are still behaving like a child. Wendy is not like you. Maybe she is really busy!"
Chelsea curled her lips and held Wendy's hand, "Well! I didn't mean to blame you, but... I know you have had a hard time recently, but I hate you the most. Even if you have a bad time, you never tell me. You don't take me as a friend at all! "
Wendy couldn't help laughing and held Chelsea's hand. "Ouch! I'm here to ask for help. "
Chelsea's eyes lit up again, she almost patted her chest and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Wendy felt warm in her heart, she had a good friend by her side when she was in trouble.
"I want to pick up my own business. Can you help ma check if there is any manuscript competition recently? I want to go to the competition, maybe I can get the bonus..." Wendy lowered her eyes.
Chelsea was excited, but she quickly calmed down and pushed Wilson out. "Honey, can you stay in the car for a while? We two want to talk about something private, okay?" Chelsea said coquettishly.
"Well... It's no need... " Before Wendy finished her words, Wilson nodded gently and walked out with his long legs.
Wendy felt a little embarrassed, she held Chelsea's hand and said, "You really don't have to do this!"
Chelsea interrupted her, with her eyes full of stars, "Although Leo is really handsome... Your relationship is in such a mess now. I can't talk nonsense to others, right? And we couldn't tell Wilson about that! "
Wendy didn't say anything more. Since Chelsea intended to protect her, it would be a little pretentious for her to stop her. In the end, she nodded.
"Why do you want to take part in the competition suddenly? You are the future billionaire's daughter-in- law of Jiang Family! You don't need to go out to work... " Chelsea said in disbelief.
"You don't know my situation at this moment. Alas! How should I tell you? I really don't get along well with Leo. If it weren't for some benefits, I really don't want to talk to that guy! " Wendy said resentfully.
"So you hate him so much?" Chelsea chuckled and teased Wendy. Seeing that Wendy's face darkened, it seemed that she was not joking with her, so she quickly stopped smiling, looked at Wendy seriously and said, "Okay! I was wrong. As for the design competition, you can rest assured. I've been helping you watch it all the time. And you! Prepare well and show your best work recently... "
Wendy nodded with relief, the two chatted for a while before Wilson drove Wendy to the intersection near the Jiang Family and put Wendy down.
When Wendy returned to the Jiang Family, she didn't expect to see...
Wendy hesitated and didn't move, she clenched her hemline and her face stiffened.
"You... Why are you here? " Ellis leaned against the wall of the courtyard of the Jiang Family, he looked tall and sunny in the sun, but his eyes were as sad as before, which made Wendy couldn't help but look sideways at him.
"Wendy, I finally found you!" However, Ellis had already walked in front of Wendy in several steps. Before Wendy could react, he had already held her tightly in his arms.
The fragrance of Magnolia from Ellis filled Wendy's nostrils, it reminded her of the day when Shelly and she both wanted for the Magnolia. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Although... She was really obsessed with the smell at the moment, but the smell of magnolia flowers made her mind full of the crying face of Shelly. Wendy nervously pushed Ellis away from her.
Caught off guard, Ellis staggered a few steps back, but fortunately he didn't fall.
But... At this time, Wendy still lowered her eyelids indifferently, gasping and frowning, looking very tired, as if she was telling Ellis not to come over, or else she would collapse.
Obviously, Ellis understood her, so he didn't go over, the two stood at such a distance. Ellis looked at her with almost sadness. "I'm sorry. I was too excited just now, because I couldn't find you these days, I just thought you were deliberately hiding from me... That's why I... I was behaving inappropriately just now! "
Ellis said to Wendy in a sad and helpless tone. Wendy sighed, but she still felt that she was too emotional, perhaps it was because they were at the gate of the Jiang Family.
If Leo or Georgina came back, she would be dead soon.
"I'm sorry, too. I... I just think it's not good for the people in the Jiang Family to find us like this! " Said Wendy with a forced smile.
In fact, at that moment, she was so greedy for that hug. During this period of time, Georgina looked peaceful, but in fact, she was cold. Besides, she was always teased and sneered by Leo, used by Leah, and her father was coward... She could only rely on herself, but only when she was with Ellis, she felt that dignity was the most relaxed...
Perhaps even she herself began to be confused, she didn't know if that was love. She had never been involved in love since she was a child, but the surging tenderness of his body when they got close made Wendy firm that it should be love!
"Come with me!" Ellis suddenly interrupted Wendy's thoughts and suggested.
Wendy nodded. After all, it was not safe to stand at the gate of the Jiang Family. Even if Leo and Georgina didn't come back, the Butler could see them when he came out.
Jasmine's club of the Jiang Family was located in the suburb, but it was not that desolate. There was a small park within a mile, but it was just work time in the afternoon, so there were not many people.
The two of them walked along the artificial lake, the light wind blew slightly and stirred up dust. It was still a little hot in September...
"Why have you been away from me these days?" Ellis insisted on asking this question, as if he made up his mind to get the answer.
Wendy didn't know how to explain her situation, but she knew there were too many people between her and Ellis, so she never dared to lose control of her heart.
But Ellis's eyes were so sincere and gentle at the moment, Wendy opened her mouth. Looking at Ellis, she felt a little embarrassed to say it, but she still forced herself to say it. "Leo and I... Actually... "
