"Aunt?" Wendy was stunned.
She widened her eyes and looked at the two in disbelief.
She had heard that the man who kidnapped her called this woman Ms. Hogg, but she didn't expect that she was Charlie's aunt!
Donna deliberately raised her eyebrows. "What, don't I look like his aunt?"
"Yes..." Wendy shook her head subconsciously and explained, "Well, I don't mean anything else. I just thought..."
"What did you think?" Donna was curious.
Wendy hesitated and said, "I thought you were his sister..."
Donna was stunned for a moment, and then she raised her slender eyebrows even higher.
If others said this sentence, Donna would only regard it as flattering words, but she believed it unconditionally when Wendy said so, because Wendy looked too silly at this time to flatter anyone.
"What's your name, Wendy?"
"Yes, Wendy Lim..."
Donna nodded and said, "Little Wendy."
"..." Wendy was stunned.
"What are you looking at!" Donna glared at her and laughed again. "You just stayed on the roof for less than 20 minutes, and you were so scared that your legs couldn't stand still. Look at yourself, little girl, are you still a child?"
"But, little Wendy, due to your flattery just now, I suddenly have a very good impression of you!"
"I didn't flatter you..." Wendy didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
At the same time, she muttered in her heart, "I'm not a child, I'm just afraid of heights..."
"Let's sit down first! I'm no longer young now, I can't stand for a long time!" After Donna finished speaking, she turned her head and walked to the living room. She sat down on the sofa and put a cushion behind her waist.
"Then don't wear such high heels, or you will fall."
"Only when I wear it can I have an imposing manner! What do you, a workaholic, know?"
"When did you come back? Why didn't you inform me? Does my dad know?"
"Not yet. Don't worry. I'll contact him later! I'm in a hurry to deal with your business as soon as I get off the plane!"
Wendy listened to their conversation silently.
Charlie had told her that he was close to his aunt.
When he was a child, his father did not care about him. It was his aunt who was taking care of him. At that time, she was only in her twenties, but she was not afraid of gossip at all. She took him to wherever she went, and she even went abroad for him. There were still a few years of New Year's Eve, she ate instant noodles with Charlie...
In fact, it was no wonder that she would be surprised. Even though Donna was about 50 years old, there were few traces of age on her face. She should have paid great attention to maintenance at ordinary times. Until Wendy took a closer look at Donna, she saw the thin lines at the corner of her eyes.
Suddenly, Donna's eyes turned to Wendy's face. "It seems that Mr. Hogg mentioned me to you?"
"Er..." Wendy stammered.
She glanced at Charlie, who was next to her, with a faint smile on her face. Donna continued, "Do you have a deeper memory of me now?"
"Yes..." Wendy nodded honestly.
"Wendy, I brought you here today because I have something to ask you!" Donna paused and said in a lazy tone, "What's wrong? Why did I hear that you dumped my nephew? And you even dumped him twice? Tell me, what is your dissatisfaction with him?"
"..." Wendy pursed her lips.
Donna's tone suddenly became sharp and said with a fake smile, "Why don't you talk? Believe it or not, I'll kick you out of the window."
Thinking of the horror of being taken to the top floor, Wendy shrank her shoulders in fear.
