Wendy's neck was completely exposed, and she couldn't hide anymore.
She swallowed, and her eyelashes trembled as she looked away, "I forgot to put on the necklace after showering last night..."
Charlie slowly withdrew his hand and put the other hand with the cigarette on his lips.
He took a long slow pull at the cigarette and then blew the smoke to her. He asked slowly, "Wendy, what did I say after I put the necklace on you?"
Wendy clasped her hands quietly.
"Answer me!" Charlie suddenly shouted.
Wendy shrank her shoulders, bit her lips, and answered, "Wherever I go, I must keep it on my neck all the time..."
"What else?"
"I'm not allowed to take it off even when I'm showering..."
After finishing, Wendy was annoyed about the ridiculous excuse that she had said just now.
"Have you notice your special habit?" When Charlie spoke again, he put the unfinished cigarette in the tank and separated her clasped hands. Then he turned over her hands and added, "Your palms are sweaty when you're telling a lie."
Wendy felt nervous and her heart beat faster. This man was so perceptive!
She could hide nothing in front of him. Everything could be discovered by him.
Charlie rubbed away the sweat in her hands and stared at her, "Once more. Where's the necklace?"
Wendy looked at him and dared not tell him the truth. She said in a low voice, "I lost it..."
The corner of Charlie's mouth suddenly tightened.
He stared at her for a few seconds with her deep eyes. Then he shook off her hands and strode upstairs.
Wendy lowered her head and didn't dare to turn off the lights in the living room until his footsteps disappeared. After that, she went to upstairs quietly.
She pushed open the bedroom door and found that Charlie was not taking a shower. Instead, he took off his clothes and lay on the bed. His face was so gloomy, and his thin lips were tightened to a sharp line.
Wendy stepped forward, picked up the clothes on the floor and hung them up.
"Uh, you don't want to take a shower?"
She asked tentatively but got no answer.
Wendy licked her lips and continued, "Then I'll go first..."
He didn't reply her either, as if she was talking to herself. During the whole process, Charlie didn't even give her a glimpse.
Seeing that, Wendy did not go to the bathroom. She stood still, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
Although she indeed did something wrong...
After keeping the deadlock for a while, Wendy walked to the big bed, gently bypassed the end of the bed, and then stood next to him.
Looking at the gloomy and indifferent eyes of Charlie, she plucked up the courage to close to him.
She leaned on his body, which looked like a koala.
In fact, she was afraid of being kicked down by him.
Fortunately, Charlie did not do that. He still tightened face and said coldly, "What are you doing?"
"Well." Wendy carefully observed his expression and said obediently, "You said that if you were angry, I would come to hug you or kiss you..."
Charlie finally looked straight at her.
However, the gloom on his face did not reduce, and his thin lips were still tightened.
Wendy thought that this method didn't work and was about to leave. However, he suddenly said.
"You have not kissed me yet!"
Wendy was speechless.
