Wendy was stunned.
Francis was afraid that she would not believe him, so he emphasized, "I have no intention of making concessions now in order to gain advantages in the future. I really want to give up!"
"Mr. Wallace, have you thought things through?" Wendy asked with a joyful tone.
Even though Wendy was slightly shocked by what she heard from Francis, it was still a good thing for her!
"I haven't thought about it too much, but I have recognized the truth!" Francis shook his head and put his hands behind his back. "In fact, I came here today mainly for yesterday's accident! I did not know that you weren't the person who sent me the text message. If I knew, I would not go to the hotel. But I went, and caused such misunderstanding between us. After going back home, I felt very sorry and uncomfortable. Although I was a little hesitant, I decided to personally visit Mr. Hogg to explain to him what had happened!"
Upon hearing this, Wendy felt a lot of gratitude and respect for Francis in her heart.
Francis did have openly confessed to her that he loved her, which could barely be interpreted that he was one of her admirers. However, all along they had never made any progress. In fact, it would still be beneficial to him if Francis refused to tell Charlie the truth, but he did not do so. This showed that Francis was a straightforward gentleman.
"Maybe what I have done is still useless. Mr. Hogg doesn't need this to verify his love towards you." Francis shrugged his shoulders and continued slowly, "I have witness the love and trust between you and Mr. Hogg in Hong Kong before, but I hadn't expected that he was not annoyed by the fact that you and I had been lying on the bed together. He trusted you so firmly, which shows how deep his feelings for you are! I can also see clearly that there is no chance for any third party to separate the two of you. No matter how hard I try, it will definitely be impossible for me to win your heart! Therefore, I chose to give up!"
It was true. Francis had not expected that yesterday's accident did not have any impact on their feelings.
Wendy was still his dream lover, but he would no longer hold any intention of winning her heart anymore; instead, he would bury all his love deep in his heart and hope only to give her blessings. It wasn't that his goal of love could be put down easily, but that he had lost the competition to Charlie, and he was sincerely convinced that Charlie was the winner.
To be more specific, Francis had already had the idea of giving up when Wendy and he were still at the hotel yesterday.
As a man, Francis could see that Charlie's activities indicated his unconditional trust with Wendy.
Wendy said sincerely, "Mr. Wallace, you'll definitely meet a better girl!"
Francis replied with a sunny smile. When he spoke again, his tone was much relaxed. "Your grandfather and my grandfather are good friends. Although we are of the same age, you are still two months older than me. I will call you Sister Wendy in the future!"
"Alright..." Wendy readily agreed.
She was so happy to see that this pursuer of her had become her "younger brother" now!
Francis took the initiative to say, "I'll treat you the other day. Don't worry. I'm not going to invite you alone. I'm going to invite your family of three!"
"Okay!" Wendy smiled.
After waving goodbye and watching Francis drive away, Wendy turned back to the villa.
She cooked the coffee, and then carried it to the second floor. The door of the study was opened with a crack. Charlie seemed to have checked and sent the mail. The computer screen was still on, and he was sitting in a formal posture. He was wearing a pair of headphones and was having an international video conference. He was talking with others in fluent French.
Seeing Wendy come in, Charlie leaned forward and said to the headphones, "Let's take five minutes off now!"
Wendy then walked in with relief and handed the freshly cooked coffee to Charlie, "Charlie, the coffee you want!"
She glanced at the conference documents on the desk and was surprised. She hadn't expected him to be so relaxed that he was holding a meeting in the study room calmly.
Seeing him take a sip, Wendy hurriedly asked, "How's it? Is the amount of barley sugar added appropriate?"
