Aunt Lee was really scared, and the basin in her hand almost fell to the ground. It took a few seconds for her to calm down. "Why are there so many rats? What's this wedding dress shop doing? It's such rotten luck!"
Right now, in addition to the wedding dress she dropped, there were also dozens of dead mice falling on the carpet.
The mice weren't only dead, but they were also bleeding from all seven orifices on their heads. Some even had their heads cut off, and the bloodstain dyed the wedding dress red. It looked particularly creepy, which was also the reason why Wendy screamed when she saw it.
She held her stomach and took a few steps back. Until now, she was still in shock, and her stomach was churning.
Aunt Lee saw her pale face, so she quickly walked around the table and stood in front of her. "Miss Lim, go upstairs quickly and leave them to me! I'll clean them up right away!"
Wendy nodded and didn't dare to take another look. The scene was too bloody, and she felt that she would throw up if she stayed a second longer.
The lower part of the wedding dress was all tainted into a mess, and there was almost no way to wear it again. Not only was it scary, but also as Aunt Lee said just now, it was such rotten luck!
Charlie rushed back when he heard the news. He pushed open the door of the master bedroom and found that Wendy had fallen asleep in bed, accompanied by Larry, who was sleeping with his hands thrown over his head in a surrendering posture.
It was just that compared to her fast asleep son, she did not sleep very well and even frowned in her sleep.
Charlie quietly walked over to her. As soon as his fingertips touched the hair on her forehead, she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.
In fact, Wendy was barely asleep this whole time. She was more frightened than she was sleepy. She was dozing off just then when his big hand reached out to her, and the scene in her dream was that a dead mouse had run up her face, which immediately woke her up with a start.
Looking into those deep and serene eyes, which were as deep as an ancient well, she felt that her internal organs gradually returned to their original positions.
She held his hand under the quilt. "Charlie Hogg, you're back..."
Charlie held her hand as well and didn't mind the way she addressed him under such circumstances. Instead, he raised her hand to his lips and kissed it sympathetically.
He helped her sit up. Next to her, Larry also turned in his sleep, but he didn't wake up and went on sleeping soundly, which made Charlie want to laugh.
"You were scared, weren't you?"
Wendy didn’t hide her feelings from him. She nodded pitifully and said, "A little bit..."
"Aunt Lee has already dealt with it, and the carpets in the living room have been thrown away. Don't worry, this won’t happen again! I've already contacted the wedding dress store. It should be a mistake in the delivery process. It's just a prank!" Charlie put the other arm on her shoulder and comforted her softly.
"The wedding dress..." Wendy frowned.
Charlie curled his lips and said in a calm voice, "The wedding dress is hand-made and the drawings are all available. They'll hurry up and make another one in the next ten days. The wedding dress store has promised that our wedding won't be delayed!"
"Well, that's good!" Wendy nodded with relief.
Noticing that the frown was still knitted between his eyebrows, she smiled and raised her hand to smooth it. "Honey, don't worry, I'm fine!"
Seeing that his gaze was moving down her body, Wendy touched her belly in a hurry. It was she who tried to comfort him now. "Jenny is fine, too. Remember? She's particularly strong!"
"Well, both of you are so awesome!" Charlie smiled. He didn't want her to think about those frightening scenes, so he deliberately changed the subject, "The invitation card for the wedding has been printed out."
