Chapter 118
He appeared suddenly but acted naturally.
Felix almost released his arms that held his son. Even if he tried his best to calm down, his voice still trembled a little, "Mr. Hogg?"
"Oh, Mr. Yam." Charlie put on a languid look and said slowly, "I don't intend to interrupt. You can continue."
After that, he turned around and went back to the room.
Charlie acted like a host in this family. He just came over to have a look after hearing the knock on the door.
Wendy held her breath and gritted her teeth. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Felix stared at her in disbelief.
She couldn't explain in such a situation. Charlie appeared in her house. His shirt was open, and there were some faint scratches on his chest which left by her when she struggled. It was too ambiguous.
"No. It's me that interrupt you." Felix's expression and voice became a little stiff.
The little boy was surprised too. He stayed in Felix's arms and did not make a sound.
Felix held up his son, turned around, and walked downstairs with the schoolbag in his hand. After a few steps, he was a little flustered and began to regret coming back. The footsteps in the corridor disappeared. Wendy stand at the door for a long time, and her head was empty.
When Felix turned around, he cast a glance at her. Wendy could see the disappointment in his eyes.
"What are you looking at? They're gone!"
The corridor was lit up again when Charlie's voice sounded.
Charlie grabbed her arm, but in the next second, she shook him off.
He narrowed his eyes and grasped her arm tightly again. He didn't give her the chance to get rid of him.
Wendy couldn't shake him off, but her eyes fixed on him as if she wanted to swallow him alive. Grievance emerged in her mind, "Charlie Hogg, you did it on purpose!"
"Are you afraid that he will know our relationship?" Charlie asked in a deep voice. He had been holding back his anger for a long time.
"You don't understand!" Wendy gritted her teeth.
"Ha." Charlie sneered and said in a bad tone, "So what? You have slept with me before!"
Wendy was hurt by his words. Her face turned pale and felt cold in her heart.
Of course, she would not forget that...
If they didn't have that unexpected night and then stayed with him for money, she would not have been so embarrassed when she met Felix again.
Charlie frowned and seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate. However, his lips twitched and said in a gloomy tone, "Why are you so unwilling to stay with me and insist on being the boy's stepmother?"
Wendy clenched her fists tightly.
She poked nails on her palm to restrain the urge to shout at him. Then, she said in a shivering voice, "Charlie Hogg, once again. We have ended! I hope we'll have nothing to do with each other from now on!"
This time, it was Charlie who shook her hand away.
He strode back to the house and came out after a few seconds. Grasping his suit jacket in his hand, he passed by her angrily.
Wendy closed the door subconsciously and locked it.
When she got back to the bed, she pulled the quilt up.
She was so tired.
Wendy didn't feel well the next whole week.
Emily went on a trip, so she did not even have a person to talk to. During this period, she did not dare to take the initiative to contact Felix. On Sunday, when she was lying on the bed at home, someone knocked on the door.
Wendy was traumatized by the knock on the door a little. She hesitated to move to the door.
She saw through the people. When she saw the man clearly, she was stunned and opened the door timidly.
Just like last morning, Felix and Daniel were standing outside, still carrying a shopping bag in his hand.
As if nothing had happened, Felix came in and took the ingredients he bought to the kitchen. Then, he washed his hands and started to cook. Because he was a soldier, he could cook faster and more efficiently.
The sun was the hottest at noon, and the room was full of great smells of food.
Flowever, Wendy had been nervous since she sat down. A few minutes after they began to eat, Felix stopped eating.
"Wennie, I thought that you and Mr. Flogg only have a relationship in work." Felix paused for a while and frowned, "You should tell me the truth. You make me feel like a fool."
"I'm sorry..." Wendy bit her lips and lowered her head.
She didn't even dare to look at his eyes, because she was afraid that there would be disappointment or even disgust in them...
"When did you start?" Felix asked again.
Wendy opened her mouth and replied in a low voice, "We have ended..."
"Wennie, if you don't want to talk about that, I won't push you." Felix held back a lot of words that he wanted to ask and sighed, "If you need help, just let me know."
"Okay..." Wendy felt a little sour in her nose. No matter what happened, he was always gentle and patient. He couldn't blame her.
When they talked about Charlie, the atmosphere between them became heavier. The little boy knocked on the dishes with chopsticks and pouted at her, "Wendy, why didn't you coax me? Don't you see that I'm jealous?"
Wendy was amused and became relaxed.
Felix had things to do in the evening, so he took his son to leave at about three o'clock in the afternoon. The little boy kissed Wendy before he left.
After seeing them off, Wendy went back to the bed. Her phone vibrated.
She took it over and saw a text message from the bank.
When she saw the message content clearly, Wendy suddenly sat up from the bed. It was a message of money transfer. She checked the number — 30,000 dollars.
The bank card was the one that Charlie gave her.
Wendy went to the table with her phone, and the bank card was lying in the drawer.
From the corner of her eyes, she could see her pursed lips and the small key pendant near her collarbones in the mirror. The diamonds on the pendant were sparkling and shining.
"You must wear it wherever you go in the future!"
"Keep it on your neck all the time!"
"You're not allowed to take it off even when you're showering!" The calm male voice sounded in her ears over and over again, and each word was so clear to her.
Wendy remembered that last time when they were at the entrance of the bathroom. He pulled her collar open and stroked the small key pendant with his fingers, "Good girl."
Taking a deep breath, she picked up the bank card and took off the necklace.
On Monday, Wendy took a taxi to the Hogg's Group during lunch break.
They passed through the revolving door and walked to the reception desk. She had never seen the receptionist before.
She licked her lips and asked, "Hello, I want to see Mr. Hogg."
