By the time they got out of the hospital, it was already late in the evening.
The city was gradually lit up by neon lights. Wendy looked at the lights outside the window, but she only felt depressed, and her chest felt stuffy.
She turned to look at Charlie, who was driving next to her, and asked in a low voice, "Will Emily and Dr. Chin be together..."
This time, Charlie fell silent.
She still remembered that the two of them had been discussing Emily and Simon last night.
Wendy was worried about his girlfriend's relationship. At that time, he still held her in his arms to comfort her that it's okay, and no matter what happened, Emily still had a baby in her belly, that the two of them would be involved forever.
But now the child was gone. Then what about the two of them...
Wendy did not have many friends. The only best friend she had known for the longest time was Emily. Naturally, she hoped that Emily could be happy. When she thought of how Emily lay in the hospital, pretending to be fine but secretly shed tears, she felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles.
Until they returned to the villa, Wendy was still in a low mood. "Wendy-"
As soon as she entered the door, Larry's figure began to run towards her.
Wendy leaned over and held Larry in her arms. The warm and sweet small body lay on her neck, which had cured her quite a bit. Suddenly she was thankful that God was not as cruel to her as Emily was.
She reached out and touched Larry's mushroom hair. "Sweety, have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, I finished them all!" Larry nodded obediently.
Once they arrived at the hospital, they called Aunt Lee to take care of Larry for dinner first, and they would be back later.
While they were talking, Aunt Lee also came over. "Sir, Miss Lim, you are back! The food is warm in the pot, you haven't eaten yet, I'll bring it out to you now!"
"Okay, I'll help you!" Wendy stood up and said.
Larry was originally going to follow her like a tail, but when he saw Charlie crooked the finger at him, he thought to himself.
"What's wrong, Daddy?"
Charlie took a look at the kitchen, lowered his head and said to his son patiently, "Your Wendy isn't in a good mood tonight. You'd better be good later and try to make her happy, okay?"
"Okay!" Larry immediately replied.
Wendy didn't have much appetite. She ate only half a bowl for dinner and went upstairs to her bedroom. When she came out of the shower, she found that Larry, who had changed into pajamas, was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the big bed. Charlie, who was surrounded by a bath towel, was lying on Larry's side, supporting himself with an elbow.
"Larry will sleep with us tonight."
Wendy asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Charlie's lips twitched.
Wendy blinked her eyes, trying to make sure if Charlie was joking.
In terms of the father and son fighting for a favor in front of her, Charlie had been dominating her exclusively, the other day he agreed to let Larry come and sleep with them, just because he was covering up the embarrassment of being caught by Larry. But late in the night, he didn't sleep and carried her into the bathroom
When she was sure that he was serious, she subconsciously looked out of the window at the night.
She really wanted to know if the sun would come out from the west.
Larry stretched out his little hand and pulled her to lie down together. When her neck touched the pillow, he got up again, and his big black grape-like eyes blinked. "Wendy, are you tired? I'll give you a massage!"
Before she could react, he began to work like a horse.
His two fair and tender hands clenched into small fists, pounding her shoulders in a decent manner, and then continued to pound her feet.
Wendy looked surprised and looked at Charlie opposite her. Charlie just silently raised his eyebrows at her.
Larry worked very hard. After a while, his little nose was sweating slightly. Wendy hurriedly stopped him. He then knelt beside her and said softly, "Wendy, let me tell you another joke, okay?"
"Okay!" Wendy nodded.
Hearing this, Larry began to talk, "Once upon a time, there was a horse, which ran and fell into the sea, so that became a sea horse! This horse's other friend, in order to find it, ended up falling into the river and became a hippo!"
"There's the third one." Charlie reminded.
In the blink of an eye, Charlie had already brought his son out of the bedroom.
Wendy was stunned. Charlie just got rid of Larry once he finished what he was told to do...
The sunlight came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind. Charlie put down the documents in his hand temporarily and began to move his cervical spine.
He took out his phone and habitually called her.
On the other side, Wendy seemed to be playing with Larry at home. The childish cheers could be heard from time to time on the line. Charlie's thin lips curled up, and the light smile stretched all the way to the bottom of his eyes.
In fact, there was nothing important. He just wanted to hear her voice.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!" At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Charlie said in a low voice, "Just wait a minute."
He didn't hang up, but tentatively pressed the phone to his chest, then turned sideways to look at Farr, who walked in with his suit.
Farr walked up to Charlie, nodded his head, and reported respectfully, "Mr. Hogg, everything is ready. The meeting will begin in ten minutes!"
"Hum." Charlie replied lightly.
"This time, all the members of other companies have arrived. They are all in the conference room!" Farr continued to report, but his expression paused for a moment and he added, "And, Mr. Gray seems to be not feeling well and didn't come. Miss Gray attended on behalf of him..."
The reason why Farr mentioned it in this way was that he knew that Charlie didn't want to see this ex-fiancee.
However, before Farr could finish his words, his boss glared hard at him.
Farr's back couldn't help but tighten up, and that glare from his boss seemed to say, "You talk too much". When he felt confused and wronged, he soon realized that the call in the boss's hand was not finished.
And he can imagine with his toes who was at the other end of the line, it's the person who can make his boss react so much.
"Mr. Hogg, I'll go out and get ready!"
Realizing that he had made a mistake, Farr did not dare to say another word and ran away after that.
