Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 86

Wendy suspected that she had an illusion.

She blinked her eyes. The tall figure was still there, and his eyes were still fixed on her.

Something flashed across her head.

She walked to him in a daze and pointed at the man who appeared suddenly, "You..."

"Are you silly?" The corner of Charlie's lips twitched slightly when he saw the silly look on her face.

Wendy nodded and shook her head fiercely the next second.

She was in an embarrassing look and asked, "Why are you here?"

No wonder she was surprised, Charlie appeared suddenly and he was so incompatible with the surroundings here.

Grandma came out of the house with tea in her hand. She waved to Wendy and said, "Silly girl, what are you doing there? Take Charlie in!"

"Okay!" Wendy answered.

As soon as they entered the house, grandma asked her to prepare some tea.

Wendy brought them some hot tea. Her eyes were unable to move away from him, "When did you arrive?"

He was still in a black hand-made suit as usual. His sleeves were very neat and tidy. There were two cufflinks inlaid with red agate on it. It seemed that he had just finished a meeting.

"Just arrived," Charlie replied indifferently.

"It hasn't been long since you left, and Charlie arrived. I planned to call you!" Grandma added. When she looked at Charlie, she showed a bigger smile, "By the way, Charlie, you haven't had breakfast, have you? Let's eat together!"

It was an old round wooden table. The chopsticks and plates placed on it were imperfect.

Unlike the city, the food in the countryside was quite simple. The noodles were cooked with egg soup, which was made in a big iron pot. Most people from cities didn't get used to eating this kind of food.

"Charlie, let’s start, or it's getting cold!"

Grandma had already pushed the bowl and chopsticks to Charlie with smiling eyes.

Wendy was putting some pickles on the table, which were given by a neighbor. She looked at Charlie nervously.

He lowered his head and said, "Thank you." Then he picked up the chopsticks and held the bowls to eat.

Just like that time when they went to the food market, he frowned and was not used to it, but he didn't complain or show any dislike.

Wendy asked tentatively, "If you don’t like it, can I get you a glass of milk?"

"No need." Charlie shook his head.

Then under grandma's smiling gaze, he ate all the noodles.

After breakfast, Wendy cleaned up the dishes. Then, she was called to the room by grandma. Grandma gave her some money and told her to buy more food later. She didn’t take the money, but grandma insisted on giving to her.

Wendy understood grandma’s intentions and did refuse again.

When she stepped out of the yard, Charlie followed her and said, "I'll go with you."

"You needn't..." Wendy looked at the car key in his hand.

"Get in the car!" Charlie said in a deep voice. He sat in and started the engine.

Wendy had no choice but to follow him.

The grocery was not far away from their home. A few minutes later, the Land Rover stopped in front of a second-floor building at the entrance of the village. There was signage that showed it was a grocery. Some villagers came out with vegetables or meat.
