After breakfast, Wendy sat down on the sofa to have a rest.
She had eaten so much in her breakfast that her belly became bulging. Who should be blamed for this?
Charlie had kept on following her like a shadow and within the reach of her hand. He also sat down and squeezed her on the sofa, while his palm was caressing her hair and belly. Suddenly, he threw out a sentence, "When are we going to register?"
"Eh?" Wendy was shocked.
Charlie took her hand up and touched the wedding ring which had been on her ring finger all the time. "You've accepted my proposal for a long time, and now you're pregnant with a daughter. Are you still not going to marry me?"
Thinking of his overbearing and arrogant style of proposal, Wendy's face turned a little red.
She was indeed looking forward to marriage, but she had thought of something else at the same time. She then shook her head and said gently, "No hurry. I'm still waiting for Chairman Hogg to accept me!"
"Why do we have to wait for him?" Charlie's eyebrows knitted together.
Wendy looked serious and said, "Charlie, I know that you've always wanted your father's recognition of your personal achievement. You have also wanted your father to bless your marriage sincerely. Let's just wait patiently! Besides, why are you so anxious about it? I have given birth to you a son, and now I'm pregnant again. Are you afraid that I'll run away?"
She would always remember what Donna Hogg had told her about Charlie's childhood.
Charlie's mother bled to death when she was giving birth to him. In Gilbert Hogg's eyes, his wife's death was caused indirectly by Charlie. Therefore, the relationship between the father and son had not been very close. When he was still a child, Charlie often acted mischievously, so as to win his father's attention. For so many years, he had worked hard to run the Hogg's Group business well, and never slacked off for a second. Wasn't he trying to win his father's recognition?
Deep in his heart, Charlie had always longed for family affection, but at the same time he had already argued with Gilbert over and over again for his relationship with Wendy. Now, Charlie rarely returned to the Hogg's Mansion because of this.
Although Wendy might not be able to forget and forgive what had happened to Larry and her four years ago, the happiness of everyday life now had at least diluted much of her hatred. She also hoped that their marriage could receive blessings from Charlie's father.
Wendy grinned cheekily and said, "Besides, it's not the first time that I'm pregnant before getting married." "Do you feel proud of yourself for?" Charlie was also amused.
Being teased by him like this, Wendy felt embarrassed.
Charlie reached out his arms and hugged her tightly. How could he not understand what she was thinking about? She was just doing it for his sake!
When Wendy was being forced to drink the soup by Charlie, the slightly fat figure of Aunt Lee came in from outside. "Miss Lim, a girl outside the gate has been looking back and forth, but she did not come in! Mick said that this girl looked familiar to you. He also said that the two of you seemed to know each other. He told me that you had asked him to send this girl home the day before yesterday!"
"Who is she?" Charlie frowned.
Wendy had already guessed it. She hurriedly said, "Let her in!"
After being greeted by Aunt Lee, Tilly passed through the courtyard with a lot of bags and entered the villa.
In fact, the day after the incident at the hospital, Tilly stayed at home for a whole day. After making a phone call to Jazmin Gray, her mother, who was living far away in England, she had seen through Madge's good and bad attitudes towards her since she was a child. She finally realized that Madge was but a hypocritical and evil-minded girl.
After her understanding of Madge was overturned, Tilly healed herself of the psychological wounds by a sound sleep. After she woke up, she thought that Wendy had saved her life anyway. She was worried about Wendy and wanted to visit her again, and therefore she came. However, she found that Charlie seemed to be at home. She hesitated and did not know whether she should come in or not. As a result she just lingered around at the gate for a while.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing that it was Tilly coming, Charlie's face darkened.
Tilly's heart skipped a beat when she realized Charlie still cared a lot about the mistake she had made. "Brother Charlie, don't be so angry. I'm not coming here for you!"
