One weekday afternoon.
After having lunch with Larry, Wendy came out alone from the villa. Uncle Lee parked Mercedes in front of a relatively remote cafe.
Not long after she got off the car, her cell phone rang.
As expected, "Charlie" was shown on the screen.
This man, he really kept her in a tight grip.
After the line was connected, Charlie asked in a calm voice, "Are you going to see Uncle Gray?"
"Yes." Wendy did not avoid this subject. Actually, she deliberately did not tell him about this, because she was afraid he would object or maybe he would come with her. That would be ridiculous. She was just sending a German translation of the novel to Kim.
Charlie was naturally not very pleasant on the other side, and Wendy didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact that he was jealous all the time.
She pushed open the door of the cafe, there was the sound of wind chimes, and she took the opportunity to say, "I can't talk about it now, I'm going in! We'll it when we get back!"
After that, she boldly hung up the phone and muted it.
The cafe was located in the alley of an old urban area, the facade was ordinary, but there were whole rows and rows of bookshelves after entering. It was very quiet, only the sound of a very soft piano. Wendy looked up and saw Kim who was sitting on the second floor smiling at her.
"Mr. Gray!"
"Miss Lim, have a seat!"
Kim hurriedly greeted her and then pointed to the white porcelain cup in front of her. "I just ordered a cup of cappuccino for you. You girls should all love this, right?"
"Thank you!" Wendy said gratefully with a smile.
"Miss Lim, have you brought that novel here?"
Kim did not wait for her to take the initiative, he could not wait to speak, it is clear that he really wanted to read this novel. She nodded her head and said, "Here it is. I'll give it to you now!"
When she took it out of her bag, Kim had already reached out to catch it with both hands.
He spread the book in his palm, his eyes glowing as he looked at it, unable to hide his excitement, "It's really the original version of 'Ansichten eines Clowns'. That's great!"
"Because it's a bit old, the paper inside is yellow and brittle, I hope Mr. Gray can be careful when reading it!" Wendy smiled and said, "Because this book is important to me, too!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely be careful with it!" Kim promised with a sincere look.
Seeing this, Wendy was not worried. It could be seen that Kim was a person who loved books, and he took the book and put it into a kraft paper bag very carefully.
After calming down the excitement a little, Kim took a sip of coffee and asked her, "Miss Lim, the last time I mentioned this book, I wanted to ask you about this, do you like this novel very much or have you watched this movie?"
Wendy explained, "In fact, it's my..."
"Honey, why didn't you ask me to come out for a coffee? Such a leisurely and elegant thing!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a female voice of some age and experience.
An elegant noblewoman was walking up from the stairs, her hair pulled into a high bun at the back of her head, looking even more haughty and not easy to approach, holding a famous brand's handbag in her hand. It looked like she wasn't here for coffee at all.
Wendy frowned as she looked in the direction of the voice.
It was Madge's mother...
