Jazmin Gray was still staying abroad. Apart from Eduardo, Kim, and Linda, there were only Wendy, Madge, and Tilly. After the seats were arranged, Tilly sat opposite Wendy and angrily turned her face away.
After sitting down, Madge was busy pouring the red wine for everyone personally. Although Eduardo kept saying that this kind of thing should be done by the servants, Madge still insisted.
Wendy sat next to Kim but was also at the edge of the table. She was invited here, but she could not fit into them. For a moment, she felt isolated and helpless.
She even regretted it a bit. She should have followed Charlie's will to cancel his schedule to accompany her.
The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. It was a message. Wendy took it out from under the table.
As if Charlie heard her heart, "Wendy, I'm on the plane. I'm taking off. Don't be afraid, I will pick you up soon!"
Looking at the words on the screen, Wendy felt warm in her heart. The uneasiness she had just now disappeared.
She knew that he would accompany her at any time, protecting her. She didn't ask him to cancel the trip at that time, because she was well aware of this.
She was not afraid to deal with it by herself.
Wendy typed "OK" with a smiley face.
When she took out her phone, Madge just walked past her and saw the details of the message clearly.
She tightened her grip on the decanter and her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness. In the blink of an eye, she smiled sweetly again. However, when she returned to her seat, she whispered to Tilly.
When Wendy looked up, she ran into Tilly's furious eyes. Tilly stared at her phone and her face.
She frowned and chose to ignore Tilly.
Since Wendy felt strange and uncomfortable here, the meal was naturally not very pleasant. However, she had already prepared for this long ago and took it as a wedding meal. The people on the table were not familiar with each other, she just needed to lower her head and concentrate on her food.
The servant came out of the kitchen and reported to Eduardo, "Old Master, your medicinal cuisine is ready!"
"Grandpa, can I have some?" Tilly said as soon as she heard it.
Linda said with a smile, "Tilly is curious! However, this medicinal cuisine is good for health. It contains the Cordyceps
Sinensis and Corn Cervi Pantotrichum that I brought, which are very good for health. You never pay attention to health care, it's better for you to have some. I'll get a bowl for each of you and Madge!"
"And Wendy!"
When the servant turned around and walked to the kitchen, Eduardo added.
When Madge heard this, her red lips suddenly tightened and then quickly loosened. The coldness in her beautiful eyes just now seemed to have never existed.
After the meal, Wendy politely waited until the fruit after the meal. It's getting dark outside, then she left the old mansion of the Gray family.
Kim wanted the driver to send her back, but she refused. Charlie had sent her a text message when he got off the plane, saying that he would come here directly. It was almost time.
Wendy walked out of the mansion and passed through the yard when she heard a shout coming from the back.
"And!" Tilly glared at Wendy angrily. "Don't be smug, even if you get married, it's useless, even if he marries you, I might snatch him back!"
"Are you saying you want to be a mistress?" Wendy asked with a laugh.
"I..." Tilly blushed. She felt embarrassed and angry, but she couldn't take what she had said back.
Wendy curled up the corners of her mouth and said with a frown, "Whether it's you or Madge, I won't give Charlie up. Besides, it's a matter between two people. Charlie is not an object, you can't just snatch him back as you want."
"Well, since you don't listen to my advice, then don't regret it!" Tilly clenched her little fist.
"Fine, I won't!" Wendy nodded in agreement and then asked, "Are you done? If you're done, I'm leaving."
Tilly was so angry that she didn't want to move away. When she heard footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw Charlie walking in with the car keys. She couldn't help but shout, "Charlie!"
Then when she recalled what had happened at the Hogg's Group, she felt embarrassed and ran away.
Charlie didn't pay any attention to Tilly and walked straight to Wendy. Actually, he had been here for a long time, but he parked on the private road, and it's a distance to here. When he waited for a long time and didn't see her come out, he simply came in to find her.
"I just called you, why didn't you answer?"
After holding her hand, Charlie asked with a frown.
After hearing it, Wendy realized that that call was from him. She curled her lip and answered unhappily, "I didn't have time to pick it up. Didn't you see that I was dealing with your admirer?"
