Her cell phone rang at this moment.
Wendy took it out and looked at it. The caller's name, "Charlie", was shown on the screen. He must have seen the record of her phone call when he was done with his work, and then call her back. Since Tilly had already become one of her besties, Wendy picked up the phone directly. "Hello?"
Tilly, who was holding Wendy's arm, looked away deliberately.
"Are you outside?" Charlie could hear the noise coming from her background.
"Yes." Wendy replied.
Hearing this, Charlie smiled and said, "What about the gift?"
Wendy purposefully did not answer his question. Instead, she changed the topic and asked, "What's the time of your flight tomorrow?"
"The plane will take off at 1:30 p.m., and land on the airport at 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon!" After Charlie finished, he reminded Wendy again, "Don't forget that you've promised me.You'll have to pick me up, and bring me a gift!"
"Okay, got it!"
Wendy laughed and answered him. At that moment, she heard that Farr Chiang came over and said something to Charlie, and therefore she said, "Charlie, go and do your work first. We'll talk about it at night!"
After Wendy hang up the phone, lilly, who had been looking away, could turn her head round now. She asked confusedly, "Wendy, why didn't you just tell Brother Charlie that you are pregnant?"
Wendy just smiled and replied nothing. She then put the phone back into her pocket.
"I know...You just wanted to give him a surprise, didn't you?" Tilly quickly guessed it, but then her face darkened. "Oh...My dear Wendy! I have just decided to give up my seven years of secret crush on Charlie two minutes ago. Can't you stop displaying your love publically and abuse me so soon?"
Wendy directly told her, "Tilly, if you want to be one of my besties, this kind of situation will definitely happen to you in the future. I advise you to think twice about it!"
"I...I've made up my mind! It's not a big deal. The more abusive it is, the healthier I will become!" Tilly snorted.
When they arrived at the gate of the hospital, the black Mercedes Benz had just come over.
Wendy waved to the driver, and then said to Tilly, "My car is over there. I can go back home by myself!"
"No, I have to accompany you home and see you enter the house safely with my own eyes. That's what I can rest assured about!" Tilly said.
Then, before Uncle Lee could get off the car, Tilly had already stepped forward and helped Wendy open the rear car door. She also got on the car following Wendy.
Wendy saw that Tilly was alone, and therefore she asked Uncle Lee also to drive Tilly home later.
When the car arrived at the villa, Wendy got off the car. When she turned back at the entrance hall, she saw Tilly, who had stretched half of her body out of the car door, waving at her. Wendy did not know whether to laugh at or cry for this interesting scene. Tilly kept her words. She really wanted to see Wendy enter the villa safely.
At that night, Wendy slep soundly, and the next morning she was in good spirits.
As she was eager to share the good news to Charlie this afternoon, Wendy was indeed in a very good mood. She almost had been humming songs all morning.
After lunch, Wendy ordered Larry, who was playing LEGO toys, to go upstairs. The mother and son then changed their clothes and set off to the airport to pick up somebody who would come back home from a business trip.
Wendy had calculated the time in advance, but she still had to wait for more than 20 minutes after she arrived at the airport. The flight was delayed. Not long after the airport broadcast announced that the plane had arrived, Wendy and Larry saw a tall figure in a black suit coming out of the exit.
Among the crowd, he was still strikingly handsome.
Charlie was a tall and strong man even among the northerners. He was so tall and straight that others could spot him at a glance.
