Chapter 49


    Early in the weekend morning, Wendy Lim brought some fruits to the hospital to see her grandma.


    She could talk with her grandma and didn''t need to worry about any part- time jobs. She was really


    happy although the cost was her body.


    Her phone rang and it was Charlie Hogg. Wendy Lim walked to the window and answered.


    "Hello?"


    "Why do you take so long to answer the phone?"


    Charlie Hogg had waited for a while, and said impatiently, "Come to my house early tonight."


    "Oh..." Wendy Lim bit her lips.


    She had slept with himst night, and they jounced the bed until veryte. When she got up in the


    morning, she felt that her waist couldn''t almost support her upper body.


    He wanted her again tonight... He was really a man full of stamina and energy!


    Charlie Hogg said in an aggressive tone, "Half-past six. Don''t bete!"


    Wendy Lim subconsciously stood straight and said, "Yes!"


    Her behaviors were a little exaggerated. Her grandma who wasying on the bed looked at her.


    Then, she hung up in a hurry.


    Unexpectedly, her phone rang again in the next second.


    It was Charlie Hogg again. She didn''t dare to decline, so she had to put the phone on her ear.


    "You are not allowed to hang up my phone call!"


    Then, the line went dead, leaving "beep..." on the line.


    Wendy Lim looked at the phone''s screen and twitched her mouth."..."


    She walked back to the bed, picked up fruits from a tray, and asked her grandma with a smile,


    "Grandma, would you like another pear?"


    "No, thanks. I can''t eat anymore!" Her grandma smiled and stroked her belly. She reached out one


    hand to hold Wendy Lim''s hand and continued, "Wendy, don''t forget to buy your mom a bunch of


    ca lilies today!"


    Wendy Lim was shocked, but she managed to remain calm.


    She was so upset that she almost forgot that today was her mother''s memorial day!


    "Okay! I''ll go when you finish your lunch!"


    After taking two-hour bus, Wendy Lim arrived at the cemetery.


    The cemetery located in the underpopted suburbs. After getting off the bus, she walked on a


    rugged path, and carefully protected the ca lilies in her arms. Ca lily was his mother''s favorite


    flower.


    Like houses, the cemetery was divided into ranks. Helen Lee miscarried because of her at that time,


    and her father also med her fault to her mother. So her mother''s tombstone was put in the


    corner, and the funeral was held hastily.


    The photo on the tombstone was taken at her mother''s young age. Her eyes and brows did looked


    like Wendy Lim''s.


    Wendy Lim''s mother was a beauty all the time. People on the street might stop and look at her


    when she walked on the street. When Wendy Lim was a child, if she heard someone said she


    looked like her mother, she would be happy for a long time.


    Wendy Lim put down the ca lilies and stroked the edge of the photo, "Mom, I''m here to see you."


    "Mom, I''ll take good care of grandma. I''m fine..."


    When she spoke out thest two words, she hugged her knees and sat next to the tombstone.


    Gradually, her eyes became moist.


    On this day every year, she would be very sad. All the memories of her mother emerged before her


    eyes, including her mother jumped from the building...


    Wind dried the tears on her face and she felt a little tickled.


    Wendy Lim stood up and slowly walked down the mountain. She was still in a bad mood. When she


    got on the bus, she remembered the call from Charlie Hogg in the morning.


    It was almost nine o''clock when she arrived at the gate of the housing estate.


    Coming out of the elevator, Wendy Lim''s heart rate increased. She only turned the key for half a


    circle and the door opened.


    The light came out from inside. She changed her shoes and stepped in silently. Charlie Hogg was


    sitting on the sofa in the living room. He didn''t change his clothes. His suit jacket was put aside, and


    the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbows. He held a remote control in his hand and a


    cigarette between his fingers.


    It was the boring financial news on the TV. Wendy Lim even dared not to breathe heavily.


    She stood on the other side of the tea-table. She was so nervous that she didn''t know where to


    ce her hands and feet.


    Charlie Hogg suddenly looked up, and his long and thick eyshes could not reduce the rage in his


    eyes, "Why can''t I get through? Why do you turn off your phone?"


    "Maybe it was power off..." Wendy Lim lowered her eyes.


    "Where have you been?"


    "Answer me."


    Wendy Lim didn''t tell him the truth, "I didn''t go anywhere..."


    Subconsciously, she didn''t want to show her weakness in front of him.


    "Didn''t go anywhere?" Charlie Hogg repeated her words. "I don''t need to report to you where I have


    been..." Wendy Lim protested in a low voice. Finally, she took the courage to meet his eyes, "Mr.


    Hogg, this is my personal issue."


    In other words, she was reminding him that he shouldn''t meddle in her personal issue.


    "Ha." Charlie Hogg''s deep eyes suddenly became piercing, and he said in a harsh tone, "Wendy


    Lim, since you have agreed to be with me, you are no longer belong to yourself! You shoulde


    to me whenever I want. You shouldn''t have any privacy before me!"


    "Have you been with the colleague who sent you yesterday? Wendy Lim, I don''t want to be a


    cuckold!"


    "I didn''t!"


    His words made her frown. She clenched her teeth and told him the truth, "I went to the cemetery to


    see my mom."


    Charlie Hogg was surprised. He frowned and said, "Why didn''t you tell me the truth earlier?"

    Wendy Lim didn''t answer and looked down at her toes.


    "Come here." Charlie Hogg waved his hand to her.


    His gesture was like calling a pet dog. Wendy Lim was a little resistant and did not move


    immediately.


    Charlie Hogg didn''t scold her this time. Instead, he bent over and dragged her to him.


    He pulled her from one side. So Wendy Lim sat on his legs naturally. The posture was not very


    erotic, but she felt ufortable. She wanted to stand up, but was fixed by his arms.


    Thest time she was embraced and sat on other people''s legs was before eight years old.


    She was flustered and nervous, especially when she was sitting on Charlie Hogg''s legs.


    Wendy Lim didn''t know when the anger in his eyes disappeared. She only heard that he asked near


    her ears, "Do you feel sad?"


    "..." She slowly pursed her lips.


    Charlie Hogg didn''t say anything more. He was gently patting on her back with his hand.


    He repeated patiently. The warmth transferred from his hand to her back, even to her heart. Wendy


    Lim carefully looked at the face near her.


    Was he...forting her?


    Wendy Lim was frightened as if she was sitting on pins and needles.


    After a few minutes, she could not bear it and tried to find an excuse, "I''m thirsty. I''ll go get a ss


    of water..."


    Wendy Lim stood up and went to the kitchen.


    After entering the kitchen, she was surprised. There were many foods on the countertop. Obviously,


    they had been bought not long ago, and thebels were still on them, including some noodles,


    eggs, and green onions.


    There were some footsteps behind her, which were very hurried.


    Wendy Lim turned around and saw Charlie Hogg. He frowned slightly and looked a little annoyed.


    "You haven''t eaten yet?"


    Wendy Lim looked at the countertop and then at him.


    Charlie Hogg moved his eyes. There seemed to be a trace of embarrassment on his face, "No."
