Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 255

In the private room upstairs, after having several rounds of drinking, the only sound in the room was the clinking of glasses.

Farr, who was sitting in the chair, turned his eyes from time to time to look at Boss next to him, carefully observing his face.

As if he's still seeing the image he saw when he went upstairs. Wendy, Felix, and the little boy were like a harmonious family of three. Boss didn't say anything about it, but the veins on the back of his hand hadn't diminished so far.

Fle's with Boss at the dinner party tonight, and he used to drink most of the wine. Fie didn't expect that Boss would be the one who drank most. After a while, the waiter behind Boss had already served several rounds of wine.

This was completely a way of using alcohol to relieve his worries!

Farr sighed. It seemed that the relationship was not so easy to deal with!

After drinking another half a cup, Charlie suddenly got up. Although his footsteps were not too messy, his hands were covering his stomach. No wonder he would be like this, he had not eaten any food since he sat down. Farr said something to those men on the table and hurried to catch up with him with a towel.

Charlie went straight to the bathroom, with his hands on the sink. The cold water was flowing.

Farr handed the warm water he got from the waiter and asked, "Mr. Hogg, are you all right?"

"I'm fine." Charlie twitched his lips.

The door of the men's bathroom next to them was suddenly pushed open. There were footsteps approaching, followed by a crisp child's voice.

"Mr. Strange!"

Was he calling his boss?

Following the voice, Farr lowered his head and looked over. It was a little boy who had just reached his knees. It's Felix's son.

He hurriedly looked at Charlie again and saw that his face sank.

Toby walked to the shorter sink next to Charlie and turned on the tap to wash his hands. He looked at Charlie with pity on his face. "Well, are you defeated by my father now?"

Seeing that Boss's thin lips were tightened, Farr quickly said, "Ahem! Don't talk nonsense! Go back quickly if you're done, otherwise, your parents would be worried about you!"

"I didn't talk nonsense!" Toby tilted his head up as if to prove that his words were correct. He blinked his big eyes and continued, "Daddy and Wendy are going to get married, and they went to see my grandmother today!"

Charlie's hand, which was turning on the tap, froze.

Farr stood straight and didn't dare to look at Boss' expression. The sun in winter seemed to hang high.

After the meeting in the morning, Wendy came out of the company with her two colleagues. The department took a new project and they were going to talk to the boss of the other party about a partnership. However, the boss was not in his company at this time, but at the temple in the suburbs.

She had come to this temple many times, so she was familiar with it.

Actually, it's also been a long time since she's been here, and it seemed the last time was with Charlie...

The boss was an old man, who was a believer. On the first and the fifteenth day of every lunar month, he would stay here all day. He wouldn't leave until he had the meal served by the temple.

When Wendy and his colleagues arrived, they easily found the figure of the boss before the huge censer. However, to her surprise, Charlie was also there. It seemed that Charlie and the boss she's gonna talk to were familiar with each other. They were talking right now.

Fortunately, the man in charge of this project was not her, and she's just part of it. So her colleagues came forward to negotiate with the boss, and she was only following them silently.

When they walking from the front hall to the back hall, there was a long table at the door with a bamboo tube on it and a monk standing next to it.

"Mr. Hogg, don't you want to pick up a fortunetelling bamboo stick?" The boss asked with a smile. The beautiful secretary next to the boss also echoed, and her big eyes were flapping like butterflies. "Yes, Mr. Hogg, the fortune- telling bamboo stick here is particularly amazing! Many people deliberately came here to ask for it, especially for their future marriage! Mr. Hogg is so young but promising, why don't you get one and see what it says?"

"There's no need." Charlie was not interested at all.

Glancing at the fortune-telling bamboo stick in the bamboo tube, he slightly twitched his lips and said, "I'm a person who can live without love."

The sound was neither loud nor small. It was like an iron claw that reached out to Wendy's heart.

Wendy, who was standing at the back of the crowd, felt uncomfortable as if her chest was stuffed with cotton.

After the discussion, she and her two colleagues went out of the temple, but the steps were a little steep. So she asked her two colleagues to go first and wait for her at the exit, and she went down the stairs like a snail.

Wendy was afraid she would be bumped into, always walking along the edge, being careful.

When she finally walked down the last step, there was a white Land Rover parked at the foot of the mountain. Next to it stood a tall Charlie. He had gone down the mountain for a while, but he hadn't left yet. He put his hands in his trouser pocket, slightly raising his head, and not knowing what he was looking at.

Seemingly sensing her sight, he looked straight at her with his deep eyes.

Wendy felt a chill in her heart.

That look was so memorable to her as if he was looking at someone who had betrayed him. However, when she looked again, he didn't seem to have any emotions.

She took a deep breath and continued to move forward.

Just as she was about to pass by, Charlie suddenly called her with his calm voice.

"Wendy."

Just a name, almost drove Wendy crazy.

She stopped and was silent for two seconds. Then she slowly turned around and faced him.

After a stifling silence, she saw his Adam's apple bobbing up and down on the collar of his shirt. "I've heard that you and Felix are going to get married."

"..." Wendy was stunned.

This was only an act in front of Felix's mother-in-law. The corners of her mouth moved, and the words that she wanted to explain had already been spun in her tongue, but she suddenly felt that it was unnecessary. In the end, she swallowed it.

"If I remember correctly, we used to talk about this. You wanted to be a stepmother." Charlie's hand in his trouser pocket was clenched into a fist, and his lips were covered with a cold smile. "Congratulations, finally, your wish comes true!"

Her wish came true?

Wendy felt depressed and said, "Thank you..." Charlie's pupils contracted as if he was trying to restrain some emotion.

He took out the car key from his pocket and said in a low voice, "You're going to the company or what? I can drop you off on the way." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"No, thank you." Wendy shook her head, pointing to the front, and said, "Our company car is just up ahead..."

She curled her fingers into a ball and then released it. She turned around again and kept walking. However, after just two or three steps, his calm voice sounded behind her again. "Is there any chance you got pregnant?" He asked nervously.

Wendy's heart missed a beat.

"No..." The hand in front of her body unconsciously hung down to her lower abdomen. She shook her head and said with difficulty, "I've taken precautions."

Charlie was stunned, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

His thin lips curled up in a self-deprecating way, feeling that he was extremely ridiculous. Under the sun, there was no more warmth in the dark eyes.
