Chapter 132


    They ate at a famous grill store which was filled with people.


    Felix had booked a table in advance, so they went straight into a private room when they arrived.


    There was a long table in the room, and the middle of the table caved in. A waitress added some


    charcoals into it and lit up, then put a grill over it. The room warmed up soon.


    Just as the waitress served all the dishes, Wendy''s phone rang.


    Wendy took a look at it but did not pick it up immediately. Instead, she stood up and said, "I go out


    to answer a phone call!"


    Felix nodded with a smile. The little boy''s attention had been attracted byrge pieces of beef.


    "...Hello?" Wendy answered the phone call after getting out of the room.


    Charlie''s calm voice sounded, "You haven''te back yet?"


    "... What''s wrong with you?" Wendy asked.


    "Nothing," Charlie answered calmly. After a pause, he added, "Are you with Felix?"


    "Yes..."


    "Oh."


    After a long silence, Wendy frowned and asked, "I''m going to hang up if you don''t have anything


    more to As she finished speaking, Charlie had already hung up.


    When Wendy returned to the room, the little boy had stuffed meat and lettuce into his mouth, which


    looked like a squirrel. He babbled, "Wendy, hurry up and eat...it''s delicious!"


    Put a piece of pickled meat on the grill. When it turned to slightly brown on the sides, Felix cut it into


    small pieces with scissors, and it constantly made a sizzling sound.


    Wendy felt hungry just by looking at it. She picked up a small piece with chopsticks.


    Before she could put the meat into her mouth, her cell phone rang again. She took it out and found


    it was Charlie again.


    Wendy bit her lips and picked it up directly this time. She answered in a low voice, "What''s wrong


    with you?"


    "Nothing." Charlie said the same thing as before, then he continued, "Just want to ask when you will


    arrive home."


    "I''m not sure..." Wendy stared at the beef in her te and swallowed, "I won''t talk to you anymore.


    I''m eating!"


    After hanging up, she had already made up her mind. If Charlie called again, she would directly


    refuse to answer or switch to mute.


    But he didn''t call again, instead, he sent her text messages.


    Charlie: "When will you go back home?" Charlie: "It''s 7:30 a.m. already. Are you noting home?"


    Charlie: "It''s dark outside and not safe for a girl to be alone."


    Her phone would vibrate every ten minutes.


    Those text messages were from the same person, and he kept sending.


    Wendy looked at these unread text messages. She didn''t know when he became so patient!


    Felix, who was sitting on the opposite side, saw that she frowned and asked with concern, "Wendy,


    what''s wrong? Junk emails?"


    "No..." Wendy shook her head. His text messages should not be junk emails. She paused for a


    while and said, "A neighbour."


    She didn''t lie. Charlie was indeed her neighbour now...


    When they were talking, another text message came in. It was also from Charlie Hogg, and the


    content was almost the same.


    Wendy was at a loss.


    They finished eating and got out of the restaurant. After getting in the car, she grabbed her mobile


    phone and was in a dilemma, "Felix, I''m a little ufortable today. Shall we light the Kongming


    lantern next time?"


    "Are you alright? Did you catch a cold?" Felix asked immediately.


    He was not unhappy with that she didn''t keep her promise. Instead, he was worried about her


    health.


    Wendy shook her head guiltily and said, I''m okay. I''ll go back home and take some pills..."


    "Okay, I''ll send you back home first. Go to bed early." Felix nodded without hesitation.


    Along the way, Felix kept asking her with concern. When they passed by a pharmacy, he even


    wanted to stop the car and buy some medicine for her.


    When the Jeep arrived in the old residential area, Wendy unfastened her seat belt, rubbed Daniel''s


    hair and apologized, "I''m sorry, Daniel. I promised to light the Kongmingntern together with you


    near the river..."

    "It doesn''t matter, Wendy. Take good care of yourself!" The little boy shook her head and said with a


    serious look.


    Wendy felt even more guilty.


    Watching the Jeep running away, she turned around and entered the building.


    She went up to the top floor without break. As she took out the key, the opposite door was opened


    as expected.


    "You''re back?" Charlie put both his hands in his pockets.


    Wendy was really angry and out of patience. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Charlie, what''s the


    hell wrong with you?"


    "You said you would cook me a bowl of noodles when I recovered." Charlie lookedzy in a


    loungewear, standing against the lights in the room. Wendy clenched her fists and continued, "Just


    for this?"


    A bowl of noodles? Could not he change a date?


    "Yes, I''ve been waiting for you." Charlie nodded with a serious look.


    Wendy took a deep breath and told herself to calm down.


    She shook the key in her hand and said,"... I''ll cook it for you now!"


    Wendy entered the room and rushed straight to the kitchen. There was half a bundle of noodles,


    eggs and green onions.


    She washed hands and turned on the stove, muttering in a low voice, "I really don''t understand.


    Why do you always want to eat noodles..."


    "Because you cooked it."


    Charlie leaned against the door frame of the kitchen and answered.


    Wendy red at him, then looked away and continued to cook noodles.


    She lowered her head a little, and then her face turned red gradually.


    It seemed that there was nothing wrong with his words. But Wendy thought too much...


    The next day was the weekend.


    Wendy got up early, put a stew in a vacuum sk, and then took a bus to see her best friend, Emily.


    Since Emily moved out, Wendy didn''t have a chance to visit her.


    She registered in the guard house and got in. Emily was standing at the building gate, wearing thin


    clothes. When she saw Wendy, she dragged her into the elevator.


    Wendy looked around in Emily''s house and moved to the floor-to-ceiling window. She said in


    surprise, "Emily, the environment here is really good! It''s morefortable than my expectation!"


    "Haha, yes, that''s right!" Emily answered with a big proud grin on her face.


    "Emily, do you remember thedy lived in my opposite door?" Wendy sat down and continued, "She


    moved away and the house was bought by a rich man. Guess who moved inter?"


    "Ah? Who?"


    "Charlie..."


    Emily blinked when she heard that, "Is that so? What a coincidence!"


    Emily''s reaction was quite different from what Wendy expected. Wendy thought that Emily would be


    excited and gossiped about him but she was rtively calm.


    After having dinner with Emily, Wendy went home.


    When she went up the stairs, Emily''s words echoed in her ears, "Wendy, be careful! Mr. Hogg may


    adopt a long-term n..."


    Wendy frowned and was quite confused.


    A long-term n for her?


    Emily''s words worked. Wendy was still a little nervous when she returned home.


    Especially when it was quiet and dark at night, a sudden knock on the door made her alert.


    "Knock knock knock!"
