The more Wendy looked at them, the more she felt that something was wrong.
A little while later, Larry wanted to go to the bathroom. Charlie and Francis both got up and went together there with Larry. Wendy quickly put down her chopsticks and pulled Tilly aside. "What's wrong with you and Francis?"
Hearing this question, Tilly's face turned red again.
"It's nothing...Just...Just..." Tilly put down the chopsticks and spoon in her hands and stuttered for a long time before she finally said, "One morning, I went to the supermarket and bought a lot of nourishment for you! That day, Brother Charlie was also at home, and you two displayed your love in front of me! To tell you the truth, I suffered a little bit. At night, I found a bar and went there to have a drink!"
Wendy nodded. She could remember what had happened that day.
At that time, they had just turned hostility into friendship. Tilly came here early in the morning and asked Wendy to help her to persuade Charlie and the old master that she did not want to be driven back to England.
"And then?" Wendy continued to ask.
Tilly grabbed the hanging table cloth and rubbed it once and once again. "At that time, I was a little drunk. To be exact, I was as drunk as a puddle of mud! I happened to meet Francis, and he kindly took me out of the bar. But I did not remember where my home was. I also did not bring my ID card with me, so he could only bring me back to the hotel where he lived. I drank too much that I was almost unconscious. Then I vomited seriously. Francis finally helped me take off my dirty clothes, and I was completely seen through by him while being naked..."
"Ah..." Wendy exclaimed in a low voice.
Tilly lowered her head even lower, and almost buried her head in the soup bowl.
The so-called "completely seen by him" meant that Francis had virtually seen every part of Tilly's naked body.
When Tilly woke up the next morning, she was not even wearing a small pair of underpants under the quilt. In other words, she was completely naked. She was in a panic at the moment and thought that she might have been sexually harassed by Francis. Later, she saw that the bed was very clean and tidy, without any sign of messiness, and she almost did not feel anything uncomfortable on her body. The only thing she felt was headache caused by drinking alcohol. She must not have gone through anything dangerous. She had just slept very comfortably under the quilt last night. Later, she saw Francis, who was curled up and sleeping on the sofa outside.
Wendy hadn't expected that there might be such a small interlude between Tilly and Francis. She originally thought that Tilly had only met Francis once in the hotel.
She clearly understood Francis's personal characters. He was a gentleman, and not a villain who would take advantage of others when they were in danger. If he did have seen Tilly's naked body, there must be no other way out. It was no wonder why just now the two of them looked strange, and this kind of thing would indeed be very embarrassing for people like them.
It did not take long for Larry to run back, and he was followed by Charlie and Francis.
After the meal was over, they came out of the restaurant.
Tilly had come to the restaurant alone. She had a mailservant in her house, but she did not have a driver. Wendy saw that Charlie's attitude towards Tilly had been indifferent, and therefore she turned her head around and said, "Francis, you happened to live on the way. Would you like to drive Tilly back home?"
When Tilly saw that did not reply immediately, she muttered, "If you're unwilling to do so, then just forget about it!"
"Okay." Although there was a trace of embarrassment on Francis's face, he still smiled and agreed. Then, he said to Tilly, "Follow me, please!"
Tilly followed Francis, and the two of them walked away together. After seeing them off, Wendy got on the car with Charlie and Larry.
On the way back home, Wendy told Charlie what had happened between Tilly and Francis. His reaction was nonchalant, and he just pretended to say "yes" in a perfunctory way.
"Hey...Honey..." Wendy pushed his arm to protest.
Charlie directly grabbed her hand and wrapped it inside his palm. He said in a low voice, "I only care about you and the baby."
His bright eyes were deeply fixed on her. The neon lights outside were reflected inside the car, and there was a thin layer of halo in her eyes.
