Chapter 123
Wendy borrowed an umbre from the hotel reception and got in a taxi.
She had checked on the map that the Northern Mountain Park was at least 20 kilometers away from
the hotel. It would take an hour if there was no traffic jam. At this moment, it was raining heavily and
the traffic was really slow.
On the way, Wendy called Charlie again, but as before, it could not be connected or his phone had
been turned off.
The taxi driver was a woman. She looked at Wendy from the rearview mirror and asked, "Heydy,
why do you go to the Northern Mountain Park in such heavy rain?"

"Well, I have something urgent to do..." Wendy answered,bing her long hair with her hands.
The heavy rain blurred their sight. In addition to the sound from the radio, there was only the sound
of wheels sshing the water.
Wendy''s mind was in turmoil.
Charlie said he would wait for there at eight o''clock, but now it was already past ten. Farr said that
Charlie had note back yet. Was he still waiting for her in the Northern Mountain Park?
Was he?
He shouldn''t...
Charlie had no patience, he usually hung up without saying goodbye to her. Even he went to the
park before, he would leave if he didn''t find her.
However, Wendy still chose to take a taxi there.
It was her first time toe to this city, let alone the park here. The traffic was getting fewer and
fewer, and in the end, there was almost only the taxi left. The gate of the park not far ahead came
into her sight.
When the taxi stopped, Wendy paid to the driver and got some change back, "Thank you very
much!"
She opened the umbre and walked quickly to the entrance of the park.
Compared to the other parks, the location of this one was rtively remote. Perhaps because it was
raining heavily now, she didn''t meet anyone else while walking on the road.
It was at the end of autumn, and the temperature in the northern city was much lower.
She came out in a hurry, wearing only a long sweater jacket. It was fine in the daytime, but at this
time, the rain together with the night wind made her shiver. She couldn''t help hugging herself tightly.
The park was not big. Wendy had already searched for the whole park in ten minutes.
She was annoyed about her impulse.
Charlie didn''t return to the hotel, which didn''t mean that he was still waiting for her here, and she
even rushed here like a fool...
The wind turned her umbre inside out. Wendy held the handle of the umbre tightly and cursed
herself in her heart for being so stupid. When she was about to turn around and leave, she saw a
vague figure sitting in a pavilion on the right. He was dressed in ck, so she couldn''t see him
clearly.
Her heart was beating fast.
Wendy walked over slowly with the umbre in her hand.
When she got closer and saw the man''s face clearly, she could confirm he was Charlie.
Although he was sitting in the dim light, he looked handsome and attractive.
Wendy became tongue-tied, "...Charlie?"
Charlie suddenly stood up from the stone bench when he saw her, pointed to the watch on his wrist,
and shouted, "What time is it now!"
Wendy did not shrink back like before, but stared at him, "Why are you... still here?"
Charlie gritted his teeth and said, "I said I would wait for you here and wouldn''t leave without seeing
you."
"..." Wendy was stunned. She bit her lips and said, "But in the elevator, I clearly stated that I was
going to eat hot pot with my friends tonight..."
It was obvious that she had refused him...
Charlie didn''t say anything, and his thin lips were tightened.
Maybe he had stayed outside for a long time, so his lips turned purple due to the coldness.
Wendy was silent for a moment, and tightly grabbed the umbre handle, "Well, why did you ask me
toe here?"
"All of them were getting wet." Charlie twitched his lips.
Wendy followed his sight.
On square in front of them, there seemed to be a box every few steps. The whole square was full of
boxes. After staring at them for a long time, she could see clearly that they were fireworks...
The fireworks were exposed to the rain for a long time, so they couldn''t be lit anymore.
She moved her eyes back. He handed a box to her and said, "Here you are."
"What?" Wendy was puzzled.
Charlie put the box into her arms. She quickly reached out one hand to catch it. The box was a little
larger than the fireworks box.
When Wendy opened it, she was stunned. It was a birthday cake.
She looked up in surprise and saw his thin lips moving, "Isn''t today your birthday?"
"..." Wendy was stunned.
So he asked her toe hereto celebrate her birthday? He even got a bunch of fireworks for her.
But now, all the fireworks were getting wet and she arrived sote...
Wendy was in a daze. She opened her mouth but didn''t know what to say.
Guilt emerged from the bottom of her heart, together with some other emotions. He grabbed the
umbre from her, and said in a low voice, "What are you staring at? Let''s go!"
Wendy held the cake box and followed him silently.
It was raining all of a sudden. Charlie didn''t prepare anything when he came out. Now there was
only an umbre. They must be very close to each other, and their arms would be touched when
they were walking.
Wendy noticed that he put most part of the umbre on her side. His right shoulder was wet, but he
didn''t notice it at all.
She could not help speeding up.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance, but the gate had been locked. The lights in the guardhouse had
been turned off.
Wendy hurriedly looked at Charlie, who stretched out his hand to her and said, "My phone is
powered off. Give me yours!"
She lowered her head, took out her phone, and handed it to him. After taking it over, he frowned
and said, "It''s also out of power."
Are you kidding me?
Wendy looked at the locked gate and looked around. There were high walls around the park, so
they couldn''t climb over them.
They were stuck in here...
"What should we do?" She asked anxiously.
Charlie looked around and thought for a few seconds. Then he pointed to the wooden house not far
away, "There''s nothing we can do. We can only stay in there until the staffe tomorrow
morning."
"What?" Wendy widened her eyes.
Charlie nced at her and continued, "Can you fly out?"
"..." Wendy was silent, of course she couldn''t.
Well, they say bad thingse in threes.
When they were walking toward the wooden house, their umbre was snapped off by the wind.
Charlie took off his suit jacket, raised it over his head, and slightly raised his chin to her.
"Come here."
"Alright..."
Wendy couldn''t refuse at this moment, so she went over to him obediently.
She seemed to be held in his arms. Fortunately, the blush on her face couldn''t be seen at rainy
night. When she stood still, she heard him saying by her ears, "Hold my waist!"
Wendy swallowed quietly and had to do as he said.
After her arms wrapped around his waist, Charlie took her to the wooden cabin quickly. Although it
looked very close, in fact, it was quite far away. When they entered the house, even if they had a
jacket to shelter them from the rain, they had been all soaking wet.
There was rain dripping from Charlie''s forehead, and his side face looked extremely sexy.
Wendy''s eyes fixed on him. While she was in a daze, his calm voice suddenly sounded, "If you
continue to stare at me, I will kiss you."
