Almost in an instant, Charlie held her back.
His palms, which had always been dry and warm, now only had a cold feeling. It could be seen how unstable his heart was.
Originally, Wendy only wanted to give him some comfort. She did not expect that he would hold her hands. Then she realized that something was not quite right, she tried to pull her hand back, but he tightened his grip and wrapped his hand around her entire hand.
Just as she was frowning, she heard him speak in a hoarse voice.
"Will he?"
Charlie looked down at her and held her hands tightly.
Wendy was shocked. She saw fear at the bottom of the deep and serene eyes. Since she was close to him, when he spoke, his breath nourished her skin, but it was as cold as his big hand.
"... He will!" Wendy nodded and emphasized it very firmly. "He must!"
"When I received your call that Larry had an accident, I panicked and almost mistook the accelerator for the brake twice at red lights!" Charlie's chest under the shirt rose and fell slightly. "Larry is very lonely, and I have always been very strict with him. When he was born, I really didn't know how to be a father. I can only try to play this role as hard as I can. Other than the time when he had a fever at the airport and was sent to the hospital by you, I protected him very well. He never had any serious illness or injury..."
Wendy listened and knew what he wanted to say. She could not help feeling a wave of nervousness in her heart.
He was indeed a good father.
"Many times, accidents are unpredictable..." She sighed softly and tried to comfort him with a serious tone, "Charlie, don't be too self-condemned and worried!"
Charlie didn't say anything and just poured out another cigarette from the case.
Wendy handed over the cup of milk tea in her hand and said, "Stop smoking and have a hot cup of tea..."
"Okay." Charlie finally put down the lighter.
In the corridor outside, Emily leaned back against the wall. Suddenly, someone sat down beside her, accompanied by a familiar aura. She immediately moved to the side.
However, as soon as she moved, Simon followed her.
After moving several times until there was no place next to her, Emily glared at him angrily.
"If you move again, you will fall off!" Simon reminded her kindly.
"Then you should move over a little bit more!" Emily pointed out. Simon [Chin] did not intend to move, but instead crossed his legs and said, "I think it's good here."
Emily rolled her eyes. When she was about to get up and sit on the other side, he handed over a paper cup.
"No, thank you!" She didn't take it.
Just now, when she saw him buy those back just now, she didn't intend to drink it.
Simon picked up her hand and put the cup of milk tea in it. "I know you never drink milk tea. You don't feel good every time you drink it. This is a cup of hot chocolate."
Emily lowered her head and took a sip as if she didn't believe him.
The strong fragrance of chocolate spread from her throat to her stomach, and her internal organs seemed to be warm.
"How did you..." She was surprised.
It's true that she can't drink milk tea, and for some reason, neither can coffee, and every time she did, her stomach got bloated, and sometimes she even got a heart attack. Maybe she was born to be incompatible with these things, but she didn't expect that he actually...
Simon stared at her and said slowly, "Of course I know. Emily, we have been married for more than four years."
Emily looked at him in a daze.
