After some time, Francis accompanied Chase to the bathroom. As soon as the door of the private room was closed, Eduardo immediately put down the tea cup and whispered to Wendy who was sitting next to him, "Wendy, what do you think of Francis Wallace?"
"Mr. Wallace has good characters and is truly a gentleman." Wendy gave a pertinent comment.
Not only was Francis good-natured and gentlemanly, but he was also handsome, tall, and strong. He was really an ideal man in the hearts of women.
Hearing her words, Eduardo immediately cheered up and nodded in agreement. "Well...l have the same idea as you! Do you think it's possible for you to be with him?"
Wendy was drinking a cup of tea out of thirst. When she heard the last sentence, she almost spat out the tea.
Just now, after Wendy reminded him of her relationship with Charlie, the old master did not say anything further. She thought that he might have accepted the status quo. Unexpectedly, he deliberately took advantage of the absence of Francis and Chase to ask about her thoughts.
Wendy took out a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth. She emphasized, "Grandpa, Charlie and I already have a child..."
This matter had been brought up during the two old men's chat.
When Eduardo heard about this, he was slightly surprised. But he was an open-minded old man. He would not judge the matters of young people on the basis of outdated values. At this time, he simply waved to Wendy and said, "It's okay. Didn't Chase say that Francis doesn't care about it at all?"
"Grandpa..." Wendy did not know whether to laugh or cry because of the old master's "open-mindedness".
The door of the private room was pushed open again, and Francis and Chase returned.
Outside the window, the sun was setting. The two old men's meeting ended there. Wendy stood up to help Eduardo walking.
Francis, who was sitting opposite to Wendy, did the same thing, but his eyes were fixed on her. "Miss Lim, let me walk you out!"
"Uh...No need..." Wendy shook her head.
With a smile on his face, Chase took the opportunity to say, "Eduardo, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's not enough for us just to drink some tea here. How about going to my house together?"
"Good idea!" Eduardo nodded happily.
Over the years, Eduardo had been living abroad for health preservation, while Chase had been living in Hong Kong. For this reason, they seldom had opportunities to meet each other. What's more, both of them were very old now, and there would be less and less opportunities for them to talk to each other. Naturally, they were willing to kill some more time in Chase's house.
Hearing this, Chase turned to Wendy with a smile and said, "Little girl, let Francis drive you back. I'll take your grandfather's car!"
Wendy opened her mouth and was about to refuse him. Eduardo's car was spacious. She could sit in the front passenger seat even if Chase was also inside the car. What's more, she could call a taxi to go home directly as an alternative. However, before she could say anything, Eduardo had already said, "Wendy, you don't have to go here and there with me now. You mentioned that you would go back home in the evening. Just let Francis drive you home!"
"Grandpa!" Wendy frowned.
Eduardo pulled her two steps to the side, lowered his voice, and said, "Listen to me. Grandpa has experienced the joys and hardships of life. There are many choices in life. You are still young. Don't be anxious about your marriage. What if there is still a more suitable man waiting for you?"
"I..." Wendy felt helpless, as if she was having a headache.
Eduardo held her hand gently and interrupted her words. "I know what you're thinking about. Just take it as a favor for Grandpa. Don't reject Mr. Wallace's kindness. Follow my advice!"
In the end, Wendy was almost forced into Francis's car, just like a little duck chased into the cage by the duck raiser.
Although Wendy thought that she could easily find an excuse to let Francis' car stop somewhere halfway, it was not easy to carry her thoughts out. How could Francis be so willing to let her go with a simple excuse like this? He used the words of his grandfather and Wendy's grandfather as a more convincing excuse to insist on sending her to the destination. In private he also wanted to do so as a competitor of Charlie.
