Wendy opened it and was taken aback.
There were three overseas properties. Before Helen and her daughter were arrested, she had accidentally bumped into Helen and Johnny in the study quarreling when she came to the Lim house to visit Johnny. It was also the time when she overheard that she was not Johnny's daughter.
And at that time, she also heard Helen mention that before the collapse of Lim's Group, Johnny had secretly bought real estate overseas. It must be these properties.
Wendy was stunned. Considering Johnny's current situation, perhaps this was the only property he had left, but Johnny was willing to give it all to her...
She quickly put it back and shook her head. "Dad, I can't take it!"
"Take it, otherwise I'm afraid I can't rest in peace until I die!" Johnny was very persistent and pushed her to take it. "I always dreamt of your mother these days. She still wears that white dress and smiles at me... I feel sorry for your mother. I fell in love with her at first sight and begged her to marry me, but I didn't do what I promised that I'll be kind to her for the rest of my life, and take care of her..."
When Johnny mentioned her mother, he was extremely sad, and his voice became hoarse in the end.
Wendy sighed and nodded. "Okay, I'll take it!" After Wendy helped Johnny, who was asleep, to cover up the quilt carefully, she quietly walked out of the bedroom. When she closed the door and turned around, she saw a tall figure standing by the window in the corridor, with one leg bent forward, and his back faced sunshine. His deep eyes were shining, which made her heart tremble.
When he strode over with his long legs, Wendy's heart stopped.
Her hanging hand was held by him and then she asked in surprise, "Charlie, when did you get here?"
"I just got here." Charlie curled his lips and glanced at the bedroom. "How's it going?"
Wendy shook her head and said, "He's fine. He's irritated and had a bit of a shock. And he just took some medicine and fell asleep."
"Then let's go home." Charlie opened his hands, interlocked them with hers.
"Okay!" Wendy responded meekly.
The white Land Rover drove from the Lim family to the villa and met a red light. It slowed down and stopped in the white line.
Wendy couldn't help but turn her head to look at him. He happened to gaze sideways and met her eyes. Ever since they came out of the Lim family, he had been wearing a sweet smile on his face.
She frowned and asked, "What..."
"You want to marry me, more than I want to marry you? You can't find a better man like me in the world? You love me, and you appreciate that I also love you? You appreciate that you can meet such an excellent and charming man like me? You don't want to miss me again in your life, and you want to be with me until we grow old?"
Wendy was dumbfounded.
And her mind went blank.
The blood rushed to her face. She stretched out her hand and pointed at him, stuttering. "You, you... how can you eavesdrop on us?"
Now she figured it out. When she came out of the bedroom, he hadn't just arrived. Obviously, he had been there for a long time, and he had heard all the conversations between Johnny and her! How could he? She didn't know where to put herself!
Charlie couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
Fortunately, he eavesdropped on their conversation, otherwise, how could he hear her express her feelings for him so frankly?
Ever since they had been together, apart from the time when they cleared up the misunderstanding of the breakup four years ago, she had once confessed to him that she loved him. After that, she did not say anything no matter how he tried to coax her. She did not say anything even when they were having sex. It was the first time he heard her tell someone about him, and also the first time he knew how important he was in her heart.
Sweet talk kills. Charlie felt like he had fallen into a honey pot and it was so sweet.
Wendy's face turned red. She tilted her head and looked out of the window.
However, Charlie stretched out his arm to hold her in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her, and then said in a calm voice. "Wendy, thank you!"
Thank her?
