Chapter 218
The white Land Rover stopped in front of the SOHO building.
Wendy''s expression on her face was still muddled. Charlie really took her out with him after he said
so. Wendy didn''t know what he''s trying to do.
After the car stopped, Charlie put out the car but did not pull out the car key.
He took out his phone after unbuckling his seat belt.
Then, Wendy felt her phone in her bag was ringing. She took it out, and that''s Charlie''s name on the
phone screen.
"Uh?" She looked at him in confusion.
"Take it." Charlie just pulled his lips.
Wendy was very confused. She didn''t understand why he called her when he''s standing right in
front of her. But under his gaze, she obediently picked up the phone as he said.
"Don''t hang up!"
After saying this, Charlie closed the door.
Wendy still didn''t know what was going on and saw his tall figure walking into the coffee shop.
Charlie seemed to have found the perfect ce to park his Land Rover, so that Wendy could see
clearly what happened in the cafe. By the window, Madge had been sitting there waiting. Suddenly,
Wendy understood something. She held her breath and stared at the screen of her phone.
As expected, a sweet female voice with a smile came from the microphone. "Charlie, you''re here!"
After sitting down, Charlie ordered a cup of American coffee.
He satzily on the sofa chair, and the phone he was holding in his hand when he walked in the
door was turned over and put on the table, which is great for blocking the screen without hindering
the microphone from recording.
Madge must have been waiting for a while, and she had drunk a lot oftte in the ss. At this time,
she looked at him with a smile.
She wore a high- necked apricot sweater dress today, with a pair of ck knee- high t boots
underneath, and her makeup was light, although it was the result of an hour''s work. That was what
she wanted, to be different from everyone else.
Her curly hair hung loosely on her shoulders. She knew that she looked good with just a flick of her
hair.
Whether abroad or at home, there will always be a lot of people around her, but Madge only wanted
to please Charlie. She said softly, "Would you like something to eat? When I first came in, the waiter
rmended a really good Macaroni"
"No, I''m full at noon." Charlie raised his hand.
"That''s right. I don''t think you like sweet food. These are all things that little girls love to eat!" Madge
smiled and nodded. She gently stirred the cup, picked it up, and took a sip, then smiled more
brightly. "Charlie, since I returned home this time, we always meet each other in Hogg''s Mansion
and haven''t spent time alone, right?"
Many people in the cafe unconsciously looked at them since they came in.
Madge knew clearly that most of those eyes were full of envy. No matter where they went, people
couldn''t move their eyes away from them. At the same time, she was very proud because they were
perfect to each other.
Charlie didn''t answer. Instead, he sat up straight and said, "I know that this time I''m back to Hogg''s
Group was a plea you made to my dad."
"You knew all about it?" Madge smiled sweetly.
"Yes," Charlie said calmly, and then his expression became serious. "So, I should invite you to have
a cup of coffee and say thanks in person. And, I''m sorry."
"Sorry?" Madge stopped smiling and soon recovered. "Charlie, are you referring to our
engagement? Don''t worry, I won''t take it seriously!"
"You think I''m just being hotheaded?" Charlie asked.
"Charlie, isn''t it?" Madge asked in the same way, but her tone was deliberately brisk.
Charlie didn''t say anything. He just looked at her silently.
Madge stopped stirring thette. She was upset, but didn''t show it in the slightest. She continued
with a smile, "Charlie, the Hogg family, and the Gray family are very close. The engagement was
set by the elders. We didn''t object back then, which means we epted it. For so many years, we
have been living in peace. Although I''ve always been abroad for years and have had many suitors,
I''ve never been tempted because I know I have a fiance, and there''s only one man I want to marry,
Charlie Hogg."
"Charlie, you just don''t want to get engaged now, right?" After saying this, Madge paused and
changed the subject. "I know you''ve always been a workaholic. It doesn''t matter. If you don''t want to
get engaged now, we can postpone it. Whenever you want to marry me, I''ll wait. As for our parents,
I can convince them too! I''ve been waiting for so many years, I''m not in a hurry for it!"
"Sunny, I''m sorry."
After such a long speech, Charlie just repeated this sentence.
He also reached for the coffee cup, but he didn''t mean to drink it. Looking at the ck liquid inside,
he said, "As you said, the Hogg family and the Gray family have arranged our engagement for a
long time. For so many years, we both have epted it. Now I am unterally breaking the
contract. I think I owe you an apology. I can''t marry you."
The smile on Madge''s face gradually disappeared, and so was her dimples.
Her two beautiful arch eyebrows furrowed, and even her soft voice was a little stiff. "Charlie, you
agree to have a cup of coffee with me just to tell me these?"
"That''s right." Charlie did not deny it.
At that time, he was called back to Hogg''s house, Madge and her mother were there when his
father announced to hold an engagement party for them. It happened so suddenly, he refused on
the spot and must have brought a lot of embarrassment at the same time, after all, the marriage
contract was between the two of them. So he still needed to officially show his attitude to her.
Madge suddenly clenched the coffee spoon with her fingers, and her eyes were filled with tears.
"You..." Her voice trembled this time.
The sweet smile on her face cracked, and her eyes were filled with resentment. "Charlie, you''ve
disappointed me so much!"
Tears fell down one by one, and even the man next to the table softened his heart. He wanted to go
forward andfort her.
However, Charlie, who was sitting opposite her, was unmoved. He didn''t even raise his eyebrows
and just pushed the napkin forward.
Of course, Madge wouldn''t wipe her tears with a napkin, not worthy of her noble status. She looked
at him with her tears on her face.
Madge returned for their marriage, but Charlie refused the engagement calmly as if it was irrelevant
to him.

Charlie was a wonderful man she has known since she was a child. He had always been cold. His
eyes were indifferent and even a little cold no matter when. But Charlie was even more fascinating
because of this.
She had long been ustomed to his indifference, but now, she suddenly felt very strange. Madge
clenched her hands into fists, got up, and left with tears in her eyes.
