On the way back to the city, Wendy kept the corners of her mouth tightly pursed.
Charlie turned on the radio. There was an active song coming from the radio. The song was old but it's rhythm was still very good.
He squinted sideways and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No." Wendy denied.
Charlie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you remember what grandma said?"
Hearing this, the corners of Wendy's mouth tightened.
She suddenly felt that he must have done it on purpose to take her return to her hometown this time...
Wendy deliberately did not answer, but said, "There are still two days left..."
Charlie didn't mind. After all, he had grandma to back him up.
When the Land Rover entered the city, it was getting dark. Wendy fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that she was covered by a suit jacket. Charlie was driving in a shirt, with his cuffs rolled around his elbow, revealing his strong arms.
Charlie heard her sound and looked over. He asked her, "Are you awake?" "Well, where are we?" Wendy rubbed her eyes and was still a little confused.
"We're getting into the third ring road right away."
Wendy looked out of the window and then looked at him. He had been driving for a long time, and he had never moved except going to the gas station at the middle of the way. He was not like her who could sleep for a while. There was a faint exhaustion between his eyebrows.
Thinking that he said the braised pork was delicious at noon, Wendy couldn't help but ask, "There are still a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator. Shall I cook something for you tonight?"
"Okay." Charlie replied calmly.
Perhaps because it was Sunday, there was a traffic jam after they got off the viaduct.
The phone in the bag on the side of Wendy's leg rang.
The two of them sat side by side, and Charlie was right beside her. He turned his body and opened the middle storage compartment. When he took out a bottle of mineral water inside, he inadvertently glanced at her phone. The word "Felix" on the screen was clear to see.
"Why don't you pick it up?" His thin lips twitched.
Wendy glanced at him and braced herself to pick it up. "Hello?"
This phone call didn't last for a long time, and most of the time it was Felix who was talking, Wendy just answered "Yes".
After she hanging up the phone, she was in a dilemma.
The road ahead became smooth, and the Land Rover was driving on the main road.
"Er..." Wendy said hesitantly.
Charlie turned to look at her, she held her mobile phone tightly. "Well... I made a mistake... I forgot that I had an appointment with Felix and others to have dinner together tonight..."
In addition to Felix and his son, there was also Ewan. Because they hadn't seen Ewan for a long time, so they made an appointment to have dinner together on Thursday.
Charlie did not make a sound, but his lips gradually narrowed into a thin line.
Suddenly, he turned the steering wheel to the right.
Fle did not even turn on the right turn signal and directly stopped the car at the side of the road regardless of the double yellow line.
Charlie looked ahead with his dark eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you get off the car? Are you going to let me send you?"
"No, no..." Wendy shook her head awkwardly and unbuttoned her seat belt silently. "What are you going to eat tonight?"
"Cook noodles by myself." Charlie still didn't look at her.
"..." Wendy bit her lip.
She pinched the bag in her hand but didn't get off the car for a long time. It was as if her feet were rooted in the ground. Charlie suddenly unbuckled his seat belt, picked up his cigarette case and lighter, and got out of the car.
