He was no longer the calm and steady military region leader, but instead looked like a youngster who had just started out in love. In the depths of his heart, there was clearly a ball of flame, yet he could only use cold water to extinguish it, and not let it ignite.
"I don't hate you, but you come here and bother me every day." Duke replied to her with a light voice.
"Did I trouble you?" Wendy's mind exploded, she was also clearly uneasy: "Sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this. You just stop the car, I'm going home now."
Wendy was a girl who knew the limits. There were some things that she would understand once she said it clearly. Duke did not like being with her.
"How are you going to get back?" Duke frowned. Although Wendy was not a stunning beauty, her cute and charming appearance still attracted quite a bit of attention. Furthermore, she was still inexperienced, so he was worried that she would be tricked.
"I'll take a cab home." Wendy did not get the driver to send her out today. She had gotten on a friend's car to come here, so, she could only take a taxi home.
"I will worried about you. Tell your driver to come and pick you up." Duke didn't agree to her way of returning home.
Wendy was startled, she suddenly saw a bustling business street in front of her with a lot of pedestrians, she immediately pointed: "You just stop at the side, my big brother's birthday is coming up, I'll go pick out a gift for him."
Duke looked at the crowd of people in front of him. If he put this girl down, she would probably squeeze into the crowd and be drowned in the crowd. She was wearing a denim dress that reached her knees today, what if she met a pervert?
"You're not allowed to go." The man's tone was firm and commanding. "Go home."
Wendy didn't think that this man actually wouldn't let her get off the car. She immediately muttered in dissatisfaction: "I really want to buy a present for my brother.”
"You can't let my uncle know that I've met you. It's not good for you, okay?" Duke frowned, would she be able to understand the stakes involved?
"Could your uncle kidnap me? When he was in office, he promised not to hurt us in front of all the other officials." Wendy's beautiful face immediately filled with anger, she felt that his uncle was extremely hateful.
Duke's handsome face stiffened. That's right, his eldest uncle had stolen the position of President from Joseph Grant's father's hands. And when he had taken the position, it had attracted a lot of controversy. As such, he immediately swore on the spot that he would not harm the descendants of the Wood Family.
Oaths were sometimes worthless. In the face of power, he was simply pale.
"In short, I can't let him know about my meeting with you. I promised him that I won't contact your Wood Family again in the future." When Duke thought about the words that he had promised, his heart ached and his face tensed up.
"What?" Wendy could not believe that he would actually make such a promise to Old President, causing her face to turn pale white. Then, she suddenly shouted: "Duke, stop the car, I want to get off, I don't want to sit in your car, stop."
Duke obediently stopped the carriage at the side, his face stiff as he stared ahead.
Wendy immediately pushed open the door and ran down, she squeezed into the crowd, her eyes filled with tears, but refused to fall.
What happened to her? She came to find him, but got such a ridiculous result. Wendy lowered her head and walked very quickly. She only wanted to quickly disappear by Duke's side and not stay for even a moment.
Wendy had escaped, she felt that she had lost a lot of face. Her family had repeatedly told her that a girl must hold back, and must definitely not take the initiative towards a man. But she had forgotten about the words of her family. When she heard that he had returned, she could not control her legs and ran over to see him.
"No more connection, no more connection." She lowered her head as tears rolled down her face. Her pink lips muttered nonstop. Then, she used the back of her hand to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes as if she was holding back a breath.
