"Wallace, Francis Wallace."
Francis smiled and helped her out of the predicament. Later, he noticed her surprised expression and continued to explain, "My parents' relationship was opposed by my father's family back then, and they had to secretly elope. Unfortunately, they had a car accident, and in that car accident, my father died to save my mother, and my mother passed away not long after I was born. So I was brought up by my grandfather and followed his surname!"
Wendy didn't expect there's such a complicated story about him, but she was not interested in the secrets of those wealthy families.
What's more, there was no deep friendship between them. She just said politely, "Mr. Wallace, thank you for sending me here!"
Francis, on the other hand, looked like he had something to say.
"Miss Lim, aren't you afraid?" It seemed that he had been holding it in for a long time and finally asked.
Wendy knew what he was referring to and shook her head. "I can't think that much."
When Mr. Wallace made things difficult for her and offered her to go to the races, she didn't even have the chance to hesitate. Because just like bungee jumping, she had to win. It didn't matter if she was afraid at that time, and she didn't even have time to think about whether it would be life-threatening.
It was just that although the process was terrible, there's little doubt that she'd still do that if she had to do it all over again.
After hearing her answer, Francis was stunned.
"I have never seen a girl like you ... " Francis muttered in a daze. Seeing her frowning eyebrows, he continued to say, "I mean, you are different from the other girls I have seen! There are many girls around me. I'm not afraid to tell you that I had only one relationship with a girl, and it happened when I was in college. She was with me because of the money. Later, she went to my grandfather and asked for a large sum of money, then went to America! I thought that there were no good girls in the world since then ... "
"Er ... "
Wendy felt sorry for him, but she didn't know how to answer this, so she had to say awkwardly, "You will meet a good girl! Mr. Wallace, I have to go back to the hotel to pack my things. Bye!"
"Goodbye!" Francis smiled.
It was only after she disappeared into the cab that he slowly withdrew his eyes.
After returning to the lounge, Chase had already got up and stood in front of the window with a crutch. The tea on the tea table was also cold. Francis walked toward him and said, "Grandpa, Miss Lim has already gone back!"
Chase acted as if he didn't hear what Francis said, lost in thought, gazing at the things in his hands. When Francis approached and was about to ask with concern, he saw that it was a handkerchief embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks playing with water. He suddenly became silent.
It belonged to her grandmother ...
Wendy returned to the hotel again, and she was even more downcast than yesterday.
Although she was packing things, she didn't bring much. She only brought a backpack, and packing things she carried with her would be finished in less than two minutes. She took out her phone and called Donna.
After the call was connected, Donna couldn't wait to ask, "Wendy, how is it?"
"I'm sorry, aunt ... " Wendy whispered.
"You don't have to say that, I know you must try your best!" Donna quickly comforted Wendy. Donna seemed to be worried about her and wanted to remind her, but suddenly said, "Wendy, I still have something to do here. That's it. We'll talk about it when you come back!"
Wendy agreed and hung up the phone.
Donna just came out from Hogg's Group when she received the call. She saw a luxury car parked outside the yard, and then the father and daughter of the Gray family walked in. She put the phone back into the bag and bumped into them.
Donna and Kim had known each other for a long time, and they also had a few dealings in business. Donna would call Kim Brother Lu when she met him. They then greeted each other. "Aunt!"
Madge, who was holding Kim's arm, also called Donna in a sweet voice.
Donna frowned. Whether it was four years ago or four years later, she had stressed it many times, but Madge had not changed the way of calling her. Although Madge was smiling at her, it was useless for her. And she was focused on her nephew, so she didn't want to argue about it with Madge.
Donna waved her hand and said, "My brother is not in good health these two days. The doctor has just given him an infusion bottle, you'll have to wait for a while!"
After that, she left in a hurry in the direction of the BMW, not wanting to waste more time.
