Wendy was shocked.
After knowing Tilly's bold move, she was shocked but not surprised. This was because Tilly had done something more crazy in the beginning: She had drugged the cake in an attempt to seduce Charlie, though ultimately unsuccessful. So when she heard that, at first she thought Tilly was just playing the same trick.
After all, she had been abroad for so many years and was not so conservative in her thinking. It's normal for adult men and women, and it's even more common for one-night stands abroad.
But she didn't expect that Tilly was still...
Tilly became more and more aggrieved as she spoke. She hugged the tissue box and kept wiping her tears and snot. She scolded, "Everyone said France is a wonderland. It turned out a nightmare! Francis Wallace, you are my nightmare! Francis ..."
Listening to her chanting-like complaining, Wendy felt a headache.
The sound of a car engine came from outside. She turned to look out of the floor-to-ceiling window and saw the white Land Rover slide into the yard and stop steadily. A young designated driver got off the driver's seat and ran to open the door for Charlie. Then the young lad passed the car key to him.
Soon after, there was the sound of the door opening.
Charlie had changed his shoes. When he saw the lights on in the living room, he frowned and said, "It's almost 12 o'clock. Why are you still up?"
The tie was in his hand. Almost as soon as his figure appeared, Wendy smelled the smell of wine. Charlie drank wine in dinner, but he was nothing compared to Tilly, who was already lying on the sofa like a pile of mud.
Because it was an important customer, Charlie needed to show his sincerity. But he only drank two cups of wine.
He was worried that the strong smell of alcohol would disturb Wendy's sleep. But he didn't expect to see that she didn't sleep at all when he came back. Instead, she yawned repeatedly and sat in the living room in a single shirt.
Feeling the increasing dissatisfaction, Wendy stood up and stammered, "Uh..."
Following her movement, Charlie also saw Tilly, who was leaning sideways next to her.
Now that she was drunk, Tilly couldn't even open her eyes. But the tears in the corners of her eyes hadn't dried yet, which made her look very pitiful. But the ruined makeup on her face was really funny.
"What's going on!" Charlie's face darkened.
Wendy explained, "Tilly drank too much. It's all because love."
"Love?" Charlie sneered.
"Yes, listen!" Wendy nodded and said while pointing to Tilly beside her.
Tilly was already unconscious, and her tongue was a little numb. She muttered a few sentences, "B*stard! Francis, Francis..."
Not as patient as Wendy was, Charlie said coldly, "If you're willing to cry, just go anywhere outside, don't cry here anymore!"
As he said this, he strode over and lifted his foot to kick Tilly's foot.
"Don't pretend to be crazy by drinking. Do you want to go by yourself, or should I drive you out?"
Tilly didn't pretend to be drunk. She was really drunk and had no reaction at all. Otherwise, if she had been shot by Charlie's cold eyes, she would have run away in dejection.
Wendy couldn't help asking, "Why don't us let her stay for one night?"
There was still an empty guest room upstairs. The quilts were ready for the guests.
"A drunkard can't be in my house!" Charlie refused without thinking.
