It was only in the evening that Wendy returned to the hotel.
She hadn't seen Emily for many years, so there were endless topics to talk about. If she didn't have to sort out the interview in the evening, they wouldn't have been able to part by now.
As soon as she got off the taxi, her phone rang. It was from Emily.
Wendy picked it up. After hearing the crackling sound over the phone, she promised with a smile, "Emily, don't worry. I'll check out tomorrow and move in with you..."
When Emily learned that Wendy had been staying in the hotel after coming back, Emily immediately told Wendy to move into her home. Emily even said that when she returned to Ice City, she was also in the same rental room with Wendy, so she naturally had to return the favor.
Wendy did not agree at that time but asked if Emily was still in the previous apartment building. She was not the one who lost memory, she knew that's actually Charlie's house.
Emily said no. She said it was a house near the river. Although she didn't tell so many details, Wendy guessed that it should be Simon's house. Wendy didn't know how long Emily and Simon had lived together, but the only thing Wendy was sure of was that Emily lived there alone. Besides not wanting her to stay in a hotel, Emily also needed company.
After that, Emily didn't mention anything about Simon. She said that they had divorced in such a casual way. If they hadn't been sitting next to each other, Wendy would suspect that Emily was talking about other people. But Wendy also knew that Emily just hid the pain in her heart.
If Wendy hadn't stopped Emily, Emily would have come over to carry her suitcase today.
When she came out, she had already checked in for another night at the front desk. There's no refund for tonight's room, so she had to check out tomorrow.
When Wendy was about to enter the hotel, she noticed that there was an eye- catching black Mercedes-Benz parked at the door. She inexplicably thought of the one she had seen last night.
She just took a look and didn't care too much about it. After all, in Ice City, there were countless people who drove such a luxury Benz, and she didn't remember the license plate number.
The door of the lobby was opened. When she was about to walk in the direction of the elevator, something unknown came running to her from the side, as fast as a roller. Before she could see it clearly, she had already felt warmth on her knees.
This familiar movement...
Wendy lowered her head and saw a little boy.
However, there was still surprise in her voice. "Larry?" The little boy was the same as last night. When he rushed up, he stretched out his two short arms.
Such a soft and lovely hug made Wendy bend down to hold him almost subconsciously before she could realize it.
The little boy wrapped around her with both hands and feet and played his expertise of being an octopus to entangle her.
Aunt Lee, who caught up with him, was shocked when she saw this. Because other than Charlie, the young master never allowed others to hug him, and even the old master of the Hogg's family could only hold his hand like her...
"Miss Lim!"
Seeing a familiar face coming forward, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.
When she first saw the little boy alone, she thought that he had lost his way again like the last time.
Seeing that Wendy didn't know how to call her, Aunt Lee took the initiative to say, "You can call me Aunt Lee! The young master came to the hotel to wait for you from the afternoon, and you finally come!"
"Er... wait for me?" Wendy was stunned.
"Yes!" Aunt Lee smiled.
After lunch, the young master climbed into the Mercedes- Benz in the yard by himself. It was obvious that he was going out, and he asked to come to this hotel. When he came in, he sat down on the sofa in the rest area, and held his small shoulders, straightened his back, and turned on the mode of doing his classic pose, but his eyes were looking around, not missing everyone who went in and out.
Aunt Lee was also confused until Wendy came in the hotel from outside.
Wendy looked at the little boy with his head on her shoulder and then looked at Aunt Lee. She thought that Aunt Lee had been waiting for so long, so she had to ask tentatively, "Aunt Lee, would you like to go up and have a little rest upstairs?"
"Well, that's great!" Aunt Lee received the young master's gaze and nodded hurriedly. She pointed to her husband behind her and said, "Mick, you go back first. I will call you at night!"
On that day in the hospital, Wendy could see that the two people who took care of the little boy was an old couple, and they looked very honest.
It was not until they entered the room that the little boy came out of her arms. But he put his little hand on her palm and looked around curiously.
Wendy took the little boy's hand and went to get a bottle of water. "Well, Aunt Lee, please take a seat. I just returned to Ice City, so I have to stay in the hotel. There is nothing here, don't mind..."
"I don't mind! Miss Lim, you are too kind!" Aunt Lee said repeatedly.
Since knowing that the little boy was Charlie's son, Wendy actually had a complicated feeling in her heart. She also thought that she might not see him again, but she didn't expect that the little boy would come here and wait for her.
She should have kept her distance from him, but when he hug her, she couldn't refuse, or maybe she had been pregnant before.
Sitting on the sofa, Aunt Lee took her young master, and did not intend to leave for a long time.
Wendy waited, and in the end, her stomach was shouting. She had a lot of dessert in the afternoon, and didn't have dinner with Emily at night. She didn't expect that she would be so hungry at this moment.
She couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up and said, "Uh, Aunt Lee, you make yourself at home!"
Wendy stood up from the sofa, and the little boy next to her immediately followed her in the same footsteps as a doll being connected to electricity. He followed her like a little tail.
She didn't pay much attention to it at first, took out the noodles and eggs she bought in the supermarket this morning, and then took out a small electric pot, which was also bought in the supermarket. There was no breakfast shop nearby, so she planned to cook noodles by herself.
