Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 426

Gilbert had the strongest reaction.

The expression on his face froze in an instant, and then a wave of raging anger came from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that he was really angry, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged, which were as thick as a rod and he could not say a word.

And, his body swayed, and he managed to stand after held on to the desk with his hands.

"I'm here to tell you this. Now, I'm done talking."

Charlie stood up from his old-fashioned wooden armchair as soon as he finished speaking.

His deep and serene eyes were as deep as an ancient well, with no trace of hesitation or playfulness.

There was no hesitation in his tone just now, as if he had already made up his mind and that was why he could speak in such a loud and clear voice.

Wendy was still in shock, and Charlie reached out and took her hand, like every time the fingers were interlocked, "Wendy, let's go back!"

Then, the two of them disappeared again in the study room.

Through the open window, Gilbert could faintly hear the sound of the engine of the car starting and leaving.

They appeared and left in a hurry. It didn't take long for them to talk with each other, but the atmosphere frozed in the study.

Kim noticed Gilbert's falling figure and hurried over to support him. "Brother Hogg, are you alright?"

Gilbert was sitting in a leather chair, clutching his chest with one hand and waving the other hand, but he couldn't say a word.

At this time, he had no time to explain anything to Kim.

"Old Master!"

When Ella went upstairs, she happened to see the situation.

Kim quickly comforted her, "It should be a rise in blood pressure. Ella, call a family doctor to come and take a look at him!"

He looked out of the window, and there was no trace of the white Land Rover.

Kim indeed came here today for his daughter's marriage with Charlie, but he had not changed his attitude. He respected the choices of the young people, and he also wanted to show his not- so-aggressive attitude on behalf of the Gray family.

But now it seemed that he didn't need to say more.

After leaving Hogg's Mansion, Charlie drove back to the villa. Like Wendy suggested earlier, he picked up Larry, went to see a movie together as a family, and then had dinner outside.

Larry was in a very good mood. On the way back, he was still talking to Wendy excitedly about the cartoon characters in the movie.

Charlie seemed to be in a good mood too, but he focused on driving the car.

Only Wendy was different, she couldn't concentrate on the movie, and had been distracted by thinking about the things that happened in Hogg's Mansion.

After she got home and put Larry to sleep, she looked at her watch and saw that it was more than ten o'clock, but there was no one in the bedroom next door. However, the door to the study was left open, and from inside the gap, there was light pouring onto the floor of the hallway.

Wendy walked over with light footsteps.

Through the gap, she saw Charlie who was sitting on a chair smoking.

He was wearing a white shirt, but unlike in the office, he had unbuttoned the whole row of buttons in the front. His strong chest muscles were half exposed, and his right hand holding the mouse was holding a half-burned cigarette.

As he brought the cigarette to his thin lips, the white smoke he exhaled spread out in all directions and his eyes narrowed with it.

Wendy knew that he didn't smoke in front of Larry.

And he almost didn't smoke much recently, because he still wanted to have a daughter, fearing that nicotine would have a bad effect, so she hadn't seen him smoking for a long time.

Although he didn't change his face in front of Gilbert, he must not feel good every time he disobeyed his father.
