Chapter 188


    Hogg''s Mansion.


    In the night, the three-story vi was like a huge monster lying dormant.


    The vi was aze with lights. In therge dining room, there were crystalmps hanging from the


    ceiling, which lightened every tiny pattern on the tes. Delicate dishes were ced on the long


    dining table, and the servants were standing respectfully in the corners.


    Gilbert Hogg in Chinese tunic suit was sitting in the center, and Charlie was sitting on the right. He


    leaned back with no expression on his face.


    At this time, two figures came in, one was very young, and the other was senior.


    The senior one was the second wife of Gilbert, E Felly, who married Gilbert one and a half years


    ago. The young one was Madge Gray, the daughter of the Gray family that was famous in the east


    of the city. She had just returned to China for more than a week. Her curly hair was loose. When


    she smiled, her dimples showed.


    Walking to the dining table, the two of them spontaneously walked to Gilbert''s side and Charlie''s


    side.


    The servant came forward and asked respectfully, "Sir, shall we start the dinner now?"


    "Wait a minute." Gilbert raised his hand slightly and looked at his wife.


    "I''ve already made a call!" E replied hurriedly, "He said that he wouldn''te back. He was


    having dinner with a few of his formerrades-in-arms..."


    Gilbert nodded and said, "Okay, let''s have dinner!"


    Only after the master of the family spoke, there was the sound of moving chopsticks. However, the


    long dining table was still empty, even if it was full of dishes.


    Madge had been paying attention to Charlie beside her all the time. At this time, she turned her


    head and asked softly, "Charlie, don''t you have an appetite? You haven''t eaten much."


    Charlie just nced at her and didn''t say anything.


    "This shrimp is not bad. Let me peel one for you, okay?" Madge asked again with a smile.


    "No, thanks." Charlie refused in a low voice.


    Madge smiled even more gently. She picked up a big shrimp and put it on her te. She put on


    gloves and peeled off the shrimp carefully. Then she picked up it carefully with chopsticks and put it


    in the small te in front of Charlie. "It''s okay. You can have a try, what if you like it!"


    Charlie didn''t eat it or even look at it. He just held a bowl of rice.


    Madge didn''t feel embarrassed. But Gilbert was unhappy when he saw this. He frowned and


    reprimanded, "Charlie! How can you be like this? No matter what, Madge is still our guest. Since


    you came back, you have been putting a poker face, who are you targeting?" "Uncle Hogg, don''t


    scold Charlie anymore. If you want to me someone, you should me yourself!"


    "Me?" Gilbert was surprised and asked with a smile, "Madge, tell me, why should I me myself?"


    "It''s you who raised Charlie so good that even if he really showed a straight face, I still can''t bear to


    be angry, because I''m fascinated to him!" Madge''sst voice rose, and the atmosphere, which was


    a little stiff, suddenly became active by her words.


    Gilbert''s face, which had always been serious, showed some smiles.


    Madge said with some shyness, "Uncle Hogg and Aunt E, don''tugh at me!"


    "It''s okay, there are no outsiders here!" E smiled.


    All of sudden, the dining room was full ofughter. Charlie remained silent all the time, as if he was


    indifferent to everything around him. The hustle and bustle was other people''s business, and it had


    nothing to do with him.


    "Madge, you won''t leave this time, will you?" Gilbert asked.


    "Yes, I''m not leaving!" Madge nodded.


    "That''s good!" Gilbert also nodded. He looked at his son, smiled and said, "Charlie is 30 years old


    this year, and he''s not young anymore. It''s time for you to get the wedding on the schedule. I''ll find a


    time to discuss it with your parents..."


    "Squeak-"


    Suddenly, there was a piercing sound of a chair rubbing against the ground. Charlie stood up from


    his seat, and he almost didn''t eat anything. "Dad, Aunt E, I''m full."


    "Where is your manner? Who taught you to leave the table in advance?" Gilbert really red up on


    the spot.


    However, Charlie walked very fast and had already walked out of the dining room. Gilbert could only


    smash the chopsticks heavily.


    Madge, who had always been clever, said with a smile, "It''s okay, it''s okay. Charlie may be too busy


    with his work. He even hadn''t finished his meeting yet when I went to see him today! Uncle Hogg,


    please enjoy your dinner with aunt E first. I''ll send him off and then be back to apany you!"


    After that, she also got up and hurried to follow Charlie.


    Outside the vi, Charlie was almost outside the yard where the ck Bentley was parked.


    "Charlie!"


    Madge quickly caught up with him and took his arm from behind.


    In the evening, Madge went to Hogg''s Group. Gilbert had ordered them to go back to the Hogg''s


    Mansion for dinner together. Therefore, after the meeting, Charlie had to take her to get into the car.


    Charlie stopped and removed her hand away from the crook of his arms just as what he had done


    in the evening.


    "Charlie, did my I sudden returning make you unhappy?" Madge raised her head, and there was a


    trace of grievance in her soft voice. "When we met in New York Airport, you had been indifferent.


    Today, Uncle Hogg asked us to have dinner, and you were also absent-minded..."


    With this, she reached out her hand again to hold him.


    Charlie frowned and said, "Madge."


    Suddenly, his phone rang, he directly took it out to pick it up, and also avoided her touch.


    "Hello, aunt?"


    No one knew what the other party had said on the phone. Charlie narrowed his deep eyes slightly


    and then hung up the phone. He said to Madge, who was still looking at him, "I have something to


    do. See you!"


    Then, he got into the car and walked away without any hesitation.


    At the gate of the yard, Madge didn''t go back immediately. There was some affections in her eyes


    that couldn''t be hidden.


    There were no high- rise buildings and industrial pollution, the sky in the countryside was very blue,


    and the afternoon sun was bright.


    Wendy wrapped herself in a coat and kicked small stones all the way to a store. In the morning,


    when she arrived in the countryside, grandma waited for her at the door as she had donest time.


    When she saw hering back alone, she asked Charlie''s whereabouts.


    Wendy didn''t lie and told her grandmother the truth. Seeing Wendy''s serious expression, grandma


    finally waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Everyone has his or her own fortune!"


    But Wendy knew that her grandma was sad. She almost didn''t eat much during lunch. So, now she


    wanted to buy some fresh food from the small store to cook something that Grandma liked to eat at


    night.

    When she went home with a basket full of vegetables, there was a neighbor said to her. "Wendy,


    there''s a particrly luxurious caring to your home!"


    "Huh?" Wendy was puzzled.


    Her heart was full of doubts. When she continued to move forward, she heard the sound of a car


    whistle.


    "Du du-"


    Wendy looked back and saw a familiar ck BMWing straight to her. The people sat on the car


    were also acquaintances. It turned out to be Simon and Donna!


    The car stopped beside her, and she was surprised. "... You two?"


    "Get in the car first and we''ll talk about itter!" Donna said directly.


    Wendy was a little confused and subconsciously listened to her. She didn''t understand why would


    theye to the countryside, but fortunately, Charlie didn''te.


    However, when she pulled open the back door with such a thought, she met a pair of deep and dark


    eyes.
