Chapter 184
Wendy couldn't say a word.
If she looked back, the first night of her and Charlie seemed to be as violent as theirs...
At this time, all the dishes were served by the waiter.
Because Simon ordered more dishes just now, and now the table was full. Unexpectedly, there were only the two of them left. The atmosphere seemed to be more strange than before.
The next table was filled with laughter. Wendy hesitated to pick up the chopsticks.
She really didn't expect that after breaking up, she could still sit down and eat face to face with Charlie. She took the rice in the bowl and did not know what to eat. Suddenly, she thought of the last instruction given by Simon when he left. She bit her lips and said, "Charlie, you..."
Charlie, who was also poking rice in his bowl, looked over with his deep eyes.
Wendy paused for a moment before she continued to ask, "Have you really not had lunch for a few days?"
"Well." Charlie answered.
"Er, are you too busy at work?" Wendy had to continue asking.
Charlie looked at her and did not answer immediately. After two seconds of silence, he said faintly, "The after-effects of lovelorn."
Wendy was almost choked by the rice she just put in her mouth.
She couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or not. She suddenly recalled that when she had met him in the club two days ago, he taunted her in the end. He said she was heartless.
She observed him carefully and found that he seemed to be thinner.
After that, she didn't take the initiative to speak again. Charlie just ate silently. There were so many dishes that they couldn't finish them all. But they tasted every dish.
When Wendy saw that the rice in his bowl was all eaten up, she put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
"Well, I'm going to pay the bill." Charlie nodded.
Wendy followed him to the cashier and did not refuse. Originally, Simon said that it was his treat, but now he had disappeared with Emily, and Simon was his good friend, so it was normal for Charlie to pay the bill. However, she did not know where Simon and Emily went...
While she was thinking, Charlie had already finished paying and came over.
After walking out of the restaurant, Wendy tilted her head and said to Charlie, "Charlie, thank you for your meal. Then see you..."
"Let me send you back!" Charlie suddenly interrupted her.
Wendy shook her head and wanted to refuse, but Charlie had already carried the car key and strode to the parking space. Soon, the white Land Rover stopped in front of her, and the door of the passenger seat opened from the inside. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
She pursed her lips and had to sit on it.
It was the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly on the windshield. It was not very dazzling, but very warm.
Wendy was speechless along the way. She gently pressed the seat belt in front of her with both hands, feeling a little unease.
Especially when he accelerated or stopped occasionally, the string of dragonwood beads hanging under the mirror gently swung. This pendant was bought by her in the temple...
"Why did you turn?"
All of a sudden, the Land Rover turned to the right. Wendy came to her senses.
She looked at the sign at the corner of the street and pointed at the back in surprise. "If you went straight ahead from the street just now, we would soon reach the gate of the community. If you do this, you'll make a detour..."
The two of them had walked on this road for many times, and each time they went straight through the passed way.
"I know." Charlie said.
Wendy was even more confused. How could he turn right if he knew it?
Charlie looked sideways with his deep eyes and said, "I don't want to get closer road." Wendy was stunned.
Her heart beat fast, and she turned her head to look out of the window.
After another ten minutes, the white Land Rover stopped downstairs.
Wendy lowered her head to untie the seat belt. Somehow, the lock was stuck. She had been dealing with it for a long time, but failed to get it out. She was so anxious that she was sweating.
There was a shadow coming down, as well as a light smell of the cigarette came to her nostrils.
Charlie had already unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over to help her take out the belt. In the process, his big hand touched hers. The familiar temperature almost made her breath paused.
Wendy took back her hand and looked away in a hurry. "Thank you."
As the seat belt was unfastened, she pushed the door open and got off the car. Suddenly she heard a male voice next to her.
"When I entered the restaurant, Simon asked me..."
"Eh?"
Wendy had to stop for the time being. She turned her head again and bumped into the pair of deep eyes. "He asked me if we were really finished and was there any sequel? What do you think?"
"... No!" She bit her lip.
"Is that so?" Charlie said in a faint voice.
Wendy did not want to continue to talk about this topic with him. "Bye..." After that, she quickly got out of the car and walked towards the residential building. When she entered the corridor, she subconsciously turned around.
Like the previous times, the white Land Rover did not immediately leave. Charlie watched her entering through the half-open car window.
Wendy took back her sight in a panic and quickened her pace.
On another working day, Wendy came out of the office building.
After a few steps, she saw the sports car parked in the sunset along the road and Ewan leaning against the car, who was lowering his head and playing with the small jade Buddha on his neck.
Noticing that Wendy was coming, he hurriedly raised his head and opened the door with a smile. "I just happened to pass by, so I'm here to taking you home by the way!"
"Okay..." Wendy did not refuse.
It was in the evening rush hour, so there was a small traffic jam, which made Ewan drive very slowly. The radio was broadcasting in the car.
After Wendy got in the car, talkative Ewan did not say a word. He seemed to be very focused on driving and listened to the radio host's words.
Finally, he stopped at the downstairs of Wendy's home. Wendy unbuckled her seat belt, but she was not in a hurry to get off the car. Instead, she looked at Ewan next to her and said, "Ewan, if you have something to say, just say it..." "Okay!" Ewan shrugged his shoulders, and his expression and tone were somewhat guilty. "I always dare to admit what I have done. That day, I took you to the airport on purpose! Wendy, I said that I took you as my friend, so I didn't want you to get hurt."
At this point, the image of that day at the airport reappeared in her mind again. It was like a wall that had collapsed, and she was hit in the heart.
She clenched her fists hard in order to suppress the pain in her heart.
Wendy shook her head, and could only say two words, "Thank you..."
In the final analysis, Ewan did it for her own good, she had no reason to blame him.
Watching the sports car leaving, Wendy turned and walked to the building.
Just as she was about to step into the corridor, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her, followed by a male voice, "Excuse me, are you Miss Lim?"
"Yes..." Wendy nodded in confusion.
When she was just about to ask him what was going on, that man suddenly became rude.
And out of nowhere, there was another man. He came up and controlled her, and took a handkerchief to cover her mouth. "Hey, what are you doing, you... oh..."
