"..." Wendy did not know what to say.
Sure enough, as she had guessed, Charlie was a cunning and shrewd business leader!
Larry was holding the red packet and smiling happily, as if he had become a Fortune Cat. Last time, he called Kim Gray "Grandpa", and then received a red packet full of money. At that time, he was so excited that he rushed back to his bedroom and hid the red packet under the bed. No wonder he had obediently followed Charlie's instructions this time.
Wendy shook her head with mixed feelings. She then pinched Larry's little nose happily. Larry was so fond of making money at a very early age. Was it a good phenomenon?
When they returned to the villa, the white Land Rover of Charlie, which had left in the morning at the same time, was now parked in the courtyard.
Wendy took his son's hand and walked into the villa. In the living room, Charlie had already taken off his suit and tie, and was now only wearing a shirt. He sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed and was browsing the news with an iPad in his hand.
Hearing the footsteps, he slowly raised his head to see who was coming.
Wendy walked toward him in surprise and asked, "Charlie, why do you go back home so early today?" "A meeting to be held in the afternoon had been cancelled. I didn't have much work to do, so I came back early." Charlie put down the iPad and answered her question lazily. He then glanced at his son beside Wendy.
To be more precise, it was the red packet held in Larry's hand that had attracted his attention.
Cancellation of the meeting was just an excuse. The truth was, Charlie felt uneasy and went back home early to see what the results were. At this time, he did not need to call his son to come over and inquire him about the results. After seeing the red packet, he realized that his plan had been carried out very smoothly.
Larry did not go into the living room with Wendy. He just let go of her hand and ran upstairs.
Needless to say, he must have run back to his room to hide his money!
Wendy sat down next to Charlie and said coquettishly, "Your plan works, right?"
Charlie raised his eyebrows and accepted the comment with pleasure.
He had watched a musical drama together with her not long ago, and knocked out Francis as a competitor silently. Now, he had easily removed the danger from Old Master Gray's side...
However, it was simply because Francis was an upright and gentlemanly person. This gentleman insisted on a fair competition with Charlie, and wanted to steal Wendy's heart only with his sincerity. However, Wendy's heart was not with him, but with Charlie. For this reason Francis could only be abused into dregs by the love story between Charlie and Wendy, and did not pose much threat to them. The occasional jealousy of him simply enriched the colorfulness of the two lovers' lives.
When she thought of the two cousins of the Gray family, Wendy frowned, because the two of them were her competitors.
Charlie's rival in love was not as powerful as Wendy's. How to understand this? Was it a blessing or misfortune for Wendy?
Wendy told him, "Grandpa said he wants me to take Larry there again tomorrow."
"Um..." Charlie's lips curled up.
The next day, Wendy came to the residence of the Gray family again with Larry, according to the old master's wishes.
Eduardo had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When he saw Larry jumping out of the car, he smiled happily, and then held Larry's little hand up. They walked together into the house.
For the whole afternoon, the living room was filled with Larry's lovely voices and the old man's laughter.
Wendy stood up and picked up a teapot. Then, she went to the kitchen to find a servant to help her fill the teapot with boiled water. When she returned, there was a sound coming from the hallway. Someone visited and the servant ran over to greet them. The two persons coming were Madge Gray and Tilly King.
It seemed that they had come together and both of them passed through the hallway after changing into their slippers.
After seeing Wendy, Madge seemed to look sideways at Tilly, who was then grinned and ran towards Wendy. She was wearing a long thin hollow shirt, while the hem of the shirt flew like a butterfly.
