Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 229

In the night, the white Land Rover was stopped in front of an old residential building.

On the way back, Charlie did not say anything. He looked straight ahead with his deep eyes and tightly held the steering wheel with both hands. Wendy could feel that the muscles of his arms hidden in the sleeves of his suit were tightening.

There was no need to ask more. Wendy could guess a few.

Gilbert asked Charlie and Madge to go upstairs to the study. They must be talking about Charlie and Madge's marriage.

She unbuckled the seat belt and gently put her hand on Charlie's hand.

As expected, his hands were terribly stiff that she couldn't help clenching it tightly.

Charlie felt the warm then looking at Wendy with his deep and dark eyes. He held her hand and kissed it. Then he pulled out the car key and carried her into the building.

When they got home, Wendy went to the kitchen to pour a glass of hot water. "Charlie, have some water..."

"Okay." Charlie didn't want to drink it, but he still picked it up and took a sip.

Wendy sat next to him, watched him bow his head and take out the cigarette case, and asked softly with hesitation, "Did you have a fight with your father again?"

Charlie paused when he lit his cigarette.

"Mmm." He pulled his lips and did not deny it. When the smoke was spit out, he squinted at her and lazily said, "I've got familiar with it."

"..." Wendy burst into laughter.

Knowing that he didn't want to talk about this topic, she changed the subjest and asked, "Uh, why didn't you tell me about your relationship with Ewan?"

"Why didn't you tell me about my father's visit to you?" Charlie asked calmly.

"..." Well, she always couldn't beat him.

Charlie answered her, "First, I'm lazy. Second, it's unnecessary."

Hearing his words, Wendy nodded, that did sound like him.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing her in a daze, Charlie asked.

Wendy looked up at him and said honestly, "I still can't believe it..."

"My mother passed away when I was born, and my father was depressed and lonely. He went to the hospital for a long time. Aunt Ella was his nurse. As time went by, one bereaved and lonely, the other sympathetic and adoring, the two grew attached."

Wendy nodded and felt a little guilty.

Why did it sound like what she felt for Felix in those days? She was also attracted by Felix's loneliness when he lost his wife and took his son with him...

She was afraid that he would see through her, so she continued to ask, "And then?"

"After that, they fell apart for some reason. I didn't know and didn't want to know the details. That's what my aunt told me later." Charlie took half of the cigarette and put it in the astray. "More than a year ago, my father found Aunt Ella and married her, and took her back with Ewan."

"Well..." Wendy nodded again.

Although he was calm and didn't care about it, she couldn't help worrying about him.

Charlie grabbed her hand and said, "I'm not full at night. Wendy, make me a bowl of noodles."

"Okay..." Wendy replied meekly.

In fact, she was not full either. Under the atmosphere of Hogg's Mansion, she even didn't know what she was eating. It seemed that she was not the only one that felt that way.

Wendy boiled noodles in the kitchen and divided them into two bowls. There's only one egg left in the refrigerator, so Wendy split the eggs in half with chopsticks and put it into two bowls. After they took the hot soup, they could feel their stomachs warming up.

After taking a shower, Charlie lifted the quilt and reached out to hold her in his arms.

"Are you still on your period?"

Wendy nodded shyly. "Well, not anymore..."
