Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 443: Was She a Little too Ruthless

Eddie calmly picks up the piece of meat which has spicy sauce all over it and looks at Wendy who is full of anticipation. He puts it into his mouth and chews several times before swallowing it. His face turns red almost immediately and his throat also begins to heat up.

“How is it? Isn’t it very delicious? Wendy asks him.

“…. Delicious.” Eddie struggles and takes a big mouthful of water.

Even if she gives him chili which he hates the most, he will also eat it.

Wendy smirks mischievously, and picks another spicy dish for Eddie, “Since you like it you should eat some more. Since you like it so much, I’ll let you …”

Eddie sees that Wendy is serving him the dishes he feels the warmness and he softens a lot. His red face and throat also ease considerably.

It is the fifth time that Eddie rubs his stomach as he heads to the bathroom and Wendy purses her lips and her eyes reveal a hint of concern.

Was she a little too ruthless?

Wendy pouts and looks for some antacid that she normally carries in her bag and walks to the bathroom.

She knocks on the door and asks, “Are you alright?”

Wendy presses her ear onto the door and hears water flushing. The door opens after a long duration and he walks out with a pale face.

“I’m fine.” Eddie smiles weakly and tries to show her that he was alright.

Wendy’s eye starts to well up and she grips the bottle of antacid tightly. She then walks to the water dispenser and pours a cup of water for him.

“Come, take some of these antacids. You’ll feel better.” Wendy pours a few tablets onto Eddie’s hand and hands him the glass of water.

“Okay.” Eddie swallows the tablets with the water and glances at the bottle and asks, “Do you have gastric problems.”

This seems to be an imported brand which he once ate. After he stopped having gastric issues, he stopped taking this antacid but remembers how it looks like.

Wendy has always eaten what she likes, how can she have gastric problems?

Eddie’s heart ached as no one is clearer than him that Wendy struggled through these years.

Wendy has an agreement with her parents that before she is twenty-three, she will find a person to marry. Otherwise, she will have to get married to Eddie right after graduating from University.

Wendy’s personality is straightforward and sincere. She told her parents that she doesn’t have any affectionate feelings for Eddie and for them not to make any arrangements. But her parents really like Eddie and are determined for them to be together. Thereafter Eddie left.

Wendy thought that her parents will give up their intentions but not only did they not mention it, but they also wanted to wait for Eddie to come back.

Actually, if it’s for marriage, Eddie is the best choice for Wendy but Wendy knows that she doesn’t love Eddie and Eddie doesn’t love her. They won’t be blissful together.

That’s why there was this agreement. Wendy’s objective is to become Duke’s bride. But there was hardly any progress for this objective.

It is only today that she finally gave up hope.

How could she become Duke’s bride?

Wendy became more matured along with the passage of time. She will not be like before, becoming happy when Duke is happy and sad when Duke is upset. But she still likes Duke as much as before.

Except that such secret admiration and single-sided love has no future. It brings nothing but misery and gloom.

When the person that you like ignores and rejects repeatedly, you will give up one day.

“No, I just carry it just in case.” Wendy places the bottle on the table and glares at him, “Twice a day, each time two tablets.”

Eddie nods and his eyes seem burdened. He remembers that Duke always has problems with his gastric.

Suddenly Eddie seems to remember something and squints both his eyes and says, “Can you make a cup of coffee for me? I want two spoons of creamer and one spoon of milk.”

When he finished, Wendy asks in return, “Don’t you drink with one spoon of milk? When have you added creamer?”

After speaking, Wendy realizes that something isn’t right. She looks at Eddie’s wide smile and froze.

Damn, if she doesn’t remember Eddie, how can she be so familiar with his taste? Loose mouth, bloody mouth!

“I was thinking how come you can remember Brenda but not me?!” Eddie places down the glass and goes over to pinch Wendy’s cheek and pulls it either side.

Wendy rolls her eyes and slaps down his hands. She rubs her painful cheeks, “Why resort to violence, can’t we talk properly?”

Eddie smirks, “This is the only way to get your attention.”

What good did it do for him by talking properly? Not only did she lie to him, but she also made him eat so much spicy food. He is weak from all the visits to the toilet, this woman is ruthless!

“Well, I already took it easy on you. Why did you leave without saying anything? Will you get pregnant bidding me farewell?” Wendy didn’t want to act anymore and glares furiously at him, her words were alarming.

Eddie is at a loss. Wendy's tongue has always been sharp and unforgiving. Listening to her after all these years, he has a feeling that he had experienced an alternate reality.

“Okay, okay, okay, I admit that I was wrong. But the results weren’t bad.” The last part was very soft and Wendy didn’t hear properly.

He had selfish intentions when he left her world and decided not to say goodbye and left when she least expected.

Because of this, even if she hates him, he can use this method for her to remember him and not forget. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

From the looks of it, the results are rather good.

“What did you say?” Wendy asks in return. She is unhappy when she sees him laughing happily. Those visits to the toilet were insufficient. She should have laced his food with laxatives and let him have diarrhea for three days and nights!

“No… say what?” Eddie shrugs his shoulders with an innocent expression, calmly looks at her, and true enough, she stops suspecting him.

“Okay.” Wendy relaxes and sits on the sofa. She crosses her legs without worry and says, “Pass me the remote control.”

“After all these years, why aren’t you concerned about your image? Who will dare to marry you in this manner?” Eddie shook his head and gave her the remote control in resignation.
