Joseph Grant and his grandfather chatted for a while before he headed downstairs. His parents were still eating outside. Wendy was sitting on the sofa, when she saw her brother had gone downstairs, she immediately jumped up and ran in front of him, blocking his path with her hand: "Brother, when did Duke return?"
Joseph Grant looked at his younger sister in shock: "Wendy, stop bullying him."
"I'm not bullying him, I just think that it's a small matter … I wanted to be friends with him, but he avoided me. Brother, am I really that scary? " Wendy's pretty face looked hurt and wronged, she obviously loved everyone, but why did she become so useless at Duke's place?
"Of course you're not scary. You're pretty cute." Joseph Grant comforted her sister gently, his thin lips curling into a smile: "Duke came back for an important matter, he doesn't have time to play games with you anymore."
"Brother, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I want to play games with him?" Wendy's beautiful face flushed red, she stared at her big brother angrily: "He doesn't want to see me, I'm also not willing to see him."
After Wendy finished speaking, she ran upstairs. Looking at his cute little sister, he could only shake his head and sigh. Forget it, she was still a child, he could not control her.
In one breath, Wendy ran into the room and immediately closed the door. Her beautiful face that had a blush on it was unable to calm down for a long time.
When his brother mentioned the game, Wendy immediately thought of something that still made her heart tremble.
When she was thirteen, she held a birthday party. When Duke came, they were playing the game, he didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but the cards she held were a match to his, and the two of them were pushed out to be used as jokes.
It was Wendy's first time being hugged by a boy. Duke was also a little shy and didn't dare to hug her too tightly. He only hugged her gently and let her go, but Wendy remembered the masculine scent of his body, which smelled like lemon.
Thinking about it carefully, that was something that happened many years ago, but Wendy remembered it clearly.
However, what happened afterwards caused Wendy to be severely injured. In the summer of her sixteenth year, when she found out that he had returned home, she sent him a text message asking him to come out for dinner. She never thought that Duke would actually reject her.
The feeling of being rejected was extremely uncomfortable, so Wendy unwillingly ran over to his house to find him.
Unexpectedly, he didn't even let her in. He just stood on the balcony on the second floor and told her to go home early and not to look for him in the future.
When she heard these words, Wendy's brain was in a mess. She did not expect Duke to not be willing to be her friend again, and not even allowing her to enter the house. She had immediately said something fierce, saying that she wanted to cut off all ties with him. However, Duke casually threw out a word: "Alright!"
Wendy deleted all the messages from him, and from that time onwards, Duke really did not contact her again. If Wendy wanted to find him, she could not even find a reason, she had only blocked her path of retreat herself.
Now, hearing the news of his return, he even arranged dinner with his big brother. This feeling was too depressing, it felt like he was very close, and also very far away, so much that she didn't even dare to call him.
Wendy closed her eyes and threw herself onto the bed. She rolled over and covered herself with the banklet.
What happened to her? A ship of friendship, could it really be turned so easily?
In the future, she would never make friends with someone from the opposite sex. It was truly unreliable.
In the Wayne Family, after seeing that Coco Wayne was fine, both Edwards and Lily heaved a sigh of relief.
That night, Edwards stared at his daughter's cute sleeping face until midnight and did not dare to fall asleep.
If something happened to his daughter, he would really go crazy, whether it was because of this danger or because of him.
Edwards and Lily did not mention anything about this matter to their families. They did not want their families to be on tenterhooks, but they had decided that for all the teachers they hired, they would have to go through even more rigorous inspections before letting them in.
Lily woke up to find that the man was not by her side. She was stunned, then, where did he go?
Lily draped a jacket over her shoulders and walked out of the bedroom. After passing through the children's room, she discovered that Edwards had brought a chair over and was sitting between the two children's beds.
It was past two in the morning. How long had he been sitting here?
Lily walked in lightly. The man turned to look at her and raised a finger at her. Then, he stood up and walked out with her in her arms.
"What are you doing?" Lily asked him softly.
Edwards sighed: "I can't sleep, I want to see the children."
"It was a false alarm this time. Next time, we can't be careless." Lily sighed, he was truly shocked this time.
"Yes, the safety of the children is more important than anything else. We can't go through this kind of shock anymore." The man narrowed his eyes. He was exceptionally enraged by this incident.
