Grace was back when it was getting dark. Charlie was not in the villa, so Grace asked Andrew.
But Andrew had no clue where Charlie was because Andrew had been with Eaton. "I have no idea. He may be wandering in the nearby park."
Charlie was still not back when Grace and Andrew had their dinner. It was already night and it was very dark.
Grace sat on the couch with her legs crossed. She looked at Andrew with frowned eyebrows. "The nearby park? Are you sure?"
Andrew answered with his back against a chair, "Not really. Charlie didn't tell me where he went, and I didn’t ask him."
Grace raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was around half-past nine. She worried about Charlie who went out without company.
And Charlie lost his walking ability, so he had been confined to a wheelchair. This made Grace more worried.
Grace got anxious. She kept moving her glance between her watch and the darkness outside the window.
Andrew stared at Grace.
He took his coat on the couch with frowned brows about ten minutes later. "I'll find him."
But just as Andrew walked to the door of the villa, Charlie was back.
Charlie made his wheelchair move with his hands slowly and hardly. Grace looked in the direction of Andrew, who was stunned by Charlie's sudden appearance.
"Where have you been?" Grace shouted with anger in a grumpy tone.
"I shopped for Eaton in a shopping mall,” Charlie answered.
