Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 224

It was not a busy work day.

Wendy slid the mouse around, modifying the amount of money in the document, while the mobile phone in the drawer vibrated.

She looked at it, picked it up and held it with her left shoulder, and the corners of her mouth were unconsciously upturned,"... Hello?"

"I won't go home for dinner tonight."

The calm voice of Charlie came. It seemed that he was also at work, as if there was a sound of turning the pen.

Upon hearing this, Wendy asked in a hurry, "Er, you're working late?"

"No," Charlie said. After a pause, he added, "It's my father's birthday."

Wendy instantly understood.

Last week, when they had hot pot together with Donna, Donna discussed this matter. Charlie's father's birthday was a big event. As his son, Charlie must be present. But on second thought, she wondered if Charlie's fiancee will be there...

"Sunny will be there too." Charlie said as if he knew what she was thinking.

"Oh..." Wendy answered in a low voice.

Charlie was silent for two seconds and then said, "I'll pick you up when you get off work!" Wendy opened her mouth, but the other side had already hung up before she could speak.

She pursed her lips and looked at the computer screen, no desire to work.

Finally, it was time to get off work. Wendy waited for a while outside the office building, and saw the white Land Rover come over.

When she got into the car, she was still hesitant. "Charlie, do I really have to come with you later..."

"Yes." Charlie turned the steering wheel.

"But... it's not a good idea, is it?" Wendy asked uncertainly.

"What's wrong?" Charlie asked flatly.

Wendy had to bite her lip.

In fact, she could understand his intention of doing this. He didn't want her to misunderstand or overthink because Madge would go too.

She clenched her fists and couldn't help but say again, "Charlie, is there going to be a lot of people for your father's birthday? Like in the TV show where the rich throw big birthday parties?"

"My family always keeps a low profile." Charlie squinted at her.

"..." Wendy looked embarrassed, but she was still worried. She looked down at herself and said, "Can I dress like this? Isn't it a little too casual? Will it be disrespectful?"

It was an abrupt decision and Wendy didn't have time to be mentally prepared for it.

She was wearing casual work clothes, very comfortable, but not formal at all.

"No, my dad doesn't like to be too loud and his birthday is always at home every year." Charlie opened his mouth and gave her reassurance.

Wendy nodded and looked out of the window. She pointed at the shopping mall and said, "There is a shopping mall ahead. Let's go choose a present!"

"There is no need." Charlie frowned.

"No, I have to buy it!" Wendy insisted.

After all, it was a big birthday. How could she show up empty-handed...

As Wendy requested, at the intersection ahead , Charlie turned his car to the right into an underground parking lot.

They took the elevator and went upstairs from the basement floor. There were a lot of people shopping in the mall. The shopping guides all showed a professional smile at the door of the store.

Compared to Wendy [Lim] who was worried about what to get as gifts, Charlie seemed not to be very happy and was not interested in it at all. Since he got off the car, he had been wearing a serious look on his face all the time.
