Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 379

"Nonsense!" Gilbert yelled angrily.

Ella said cautiously, "I think Charlie still likes Miss Lim. He doesn't have any feelings for Madge. It's better to let them both have their way. Besides, they can be together again after four years. Isn't it a kind of predestined connection?"

"Humm?" Gilbert obviously didn't agree. With a stern expression, he continued, "The Hogg family and the Gray family have been working together for many years. Everyone in Ice city knows about the marriage alliance between the Hogg family and the Gray family. If anything goes wrong, it's Hogg's Group that will be affected! What's more, Madge has been waiting for another four years. If I allow Charlie to do what he wants, then how am I going to explain this to the Gray family?"

"You're right, but..."

"Enough, you go out first!"

Gilbert raised his hand impatiently to stop her.

When Ella saw her husband's stubbornness, she didn't dare to say anything else, so she put down the ginseng soup and left the study.

However, when the door was closed, she let out a long sigh.

For Ella, her relationship with Charlie, her stepson, was not very close. Both of them never crossed each other in their positions over the years. She didn't want to interfere with Charlie's marriage, whether it was a business marriage or not.

However, on the night of the engagement party held by the Hogg family and the Gray family four years ago, Ewan left for a small country on the border and never came back, and even on New Year's Eve, he was just making phone calls.

Although others might not know, after all, Ewan was her son. How could Ella not notice his feeling for Madge?

In her opinion, this marriage might as well be annulled.

It was dark outside the window, and Charlie was standing there with his back turned on, with only a floor lamp on, looking as if he was trying to blend into the night.

Don't come to her again.

When Wendy pushed the door open and came in, she happened to hear the last sentence.

After seeing him put the phone down, he picked up the cigarette case on the table next to him and put a cigarette in his hand, and in the silhouette of the window, he inhaled the smoke so hard that the white smoke spread out.

It's not hard to guess that that phone call must have been made to Gilbert.

Wendy released the doorknob and walked lightly to his side, "Charlie, you'd better smoke less."

Charlie didn't make a sound, but he exhaled smoke and twisted it out in the ashtray.

"Is Larry asleep?" He pulled his lips and asked. "Yes, he is!" Wendy nodded.

Charlie reached out and held her in his arms, planting his thin lips on her forehead.

Wendy closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed the gentle kiss that was as gentle as the wings of a butterfly. When she opened her eyes, she was happened to be able to see his bare chest.

She almost forgot that he only had a bath towel around his waist now.

Her cheeks were now rubbing against the hard muscles, which was really hot.

She lifted her eyelashes, and sure enough his eyes had turned darker at some point.

The next second, her feet were lifted off the ground.

Wendy put her arms around his neck, blushed, and whispered, "Can you..."

"No way!" Without waiting for her to finish, Charlie went straight to the point.

But just as his long legs stepped up, the phone, which had just been placed next to the ashtray, rang.

Charlie picked it up and took a look at it. Then he hung it up and turned off the phone.
