Chapter 236


    "Ah, so that''s how it is!" Ynda''s face immediately filled withughter and she changed quickly.


    "No wonder. I''m surprised that my sister rarelyes to my home. I''m really happy to see her


    here!"


    "Ynda, you''ve always been sensible." Johnny said gently.


    Ynda rushed forward and said with a smile, "Wendy, don''t stand at the door. Come in quickly!"


    It seemed that Helen also heard the sound. When she came out of the dining room, she looked


    displeased. However, because Johnny was also there, she just smiled and said nothing. She still


    maintained the appearance of a good wife and mother.


    "Is dinner ready?" Johnny asked his wife.


    "Servants in the kitchen said that it''s almost time!" Helen nodded hurriedly.


    Wendy had long been ustomed to Ynda and Helen''s role- y in front of Johnny. So she just


    frowned and asked, "Dad, what do you want?"


    "Don''t worry, I ask Helen to add more dishes. Let''s eat and talkter!" Johnny said.


    Wendy was obviously surprised. After hesitating for two seconds, she nodded and went in.


    Although Ynda was reluctant, she still had to maintain her mask of hypocrisy, holding Wendy and


    ying a good sister. For so many years, every time Wendy returned to the Lim family, she would


    ask for money then leave. It was impossible for her to stay longer, nor would she be kept for dinner.


    It seemed that it was the first time she ever been called back like this. She stayed and had dinner


    with her father for the sake of Charlie.


    When Wendy walked to the dining table, she was cautious. When she turned around and saw no


    servant approaching, she sat down restlessly.


    A lot of dishes were ced on the table, and the smell was overwhelming.


    On the opposite side sat Ynda and Helen. Wendy had no appetite and only felt that it was


    unbearable. And she also knew that Johnny would not ask her to go back to the Lim family if he


    wants nothing from her.


    Sure enough, it was not long after Johnny grabbed his chopsticks, he looked at Wendy and said,


    "Wendy, there''s something dad would like to ask you for your help."


    "... What''s it?" Wendy was a little stunned.


    "There''s a good project for thepany. I want to cooperate with Hogg''s Group." Johnny paused


    and said with a smile, "Look, find an opportunity to talk to Charlie!"


    "Er..." Wendy bit her lips.


    Wendy more or less figured out why she''s here tonight.


    "Dad!" Ynda shouted out in anger and soon realized that she had lost herposure. She


    quickly regained her innocence and said, "Dad, don''t you know that Charlie is going to have an


    engagement ceremony? There has been news in the newspaper some time ago! It''s useless for you


    to ask my sister. She can''t do anything about it!"

    "Ynda, I''m talking to your sister." Johnny frowned and was not very happy.


    Next to Ynda, Helen winked at her. Ynda immediately shut her mouth and said no more. She


    looked like a good daughter.


    "Wendy, remember what I said. Go back and find an opportunity to talk to Charlie about this matter!"


    The meal was finally over, and Wendy did not intend to stay any longer.


    When Wendy was about to leave the vi, Ynda said earnestly, "Daddy, I''ll walk Wendy out!"


    "Wendy, you''re really shameless!"


    There were only the two of them left. Ynda didn''t need to hide anymore. She couldn''t be more


    ignorant. "Dad said he would ask you for help. Do you think you can do that? Hum, really?"


    "Have you finished?" Wendy frowned and asked.


    "Not yet!" Ynda gritted her teeth. "Wendy, Don''t dream of something that doesn''t belong to you!


    You''d better take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see if you deserve it! Last time, I told you


    that even fools know how to choose between you and Sunny..."


    A white Land Rover suddenly stopped at the door. The door of the driver''s seat opened, and


    Charlie''s tall figure jumped into sight. He walked straight toward Wendy and asked, "Are you done?"


    "Yes..." Wendy nodded.


    As if he didn''t see Ynda, he didn''t even bother to say hello to her. Charlie reached out and took


    Wendy by the shoulder and walked to the car. "Get in, let''s go home."


    "Okay..." Wendy followed him.


    It was not until the Land Rover disappeared into the night that Ynda seemed to wake up from a


    dream.


    The night wind blew as if there was a p on her face, and she stomped her feet in anger.


    When she returned to the vi, Johnny had already gone to the second floor. In addition to the


    servants, only Helen was in the living room, so there was no need to hide. Ynda shouted angrily,


    "Mom! You see, his attitude toward Wendy today is no longer the same as before. Will he think of


    letting Wendy go back to the Lim family? What should I do then? I am the only daughter of this


    family!"


    "No!" Helen said calmly.


    "Why? I think it''s possible!" Ynda grabbed the cushion and threw it away.


    The expression on Helen''s face was very firm. "You can rest assured about this, because she is


    not..."


    When she said it, she seemed to have realized something and quickly stopped.


    "She''s not what?" Ynda looked confused.


    "Nothing!" Helen immediately said, her eyes shing a little. She reminded her daughter, "Ynda,


    don''t talk about this in front of your dad, and don''t ask about it! Otherwise, he will be furious!"


    "I know, I know!" Ynda pouted.


    Thinking of the intimacy of Wendy and Charlie just now, she was jealous and angry. She whispered


    in her heart, "Can''t Sunny do anything about it ?"


    After returning home and taking a shower, Wendy and Charlie shared the same scent of shower gel.


    Charlie asked Wendy what she was doing in the Lim family tonight, Wendy couldn''t hide it, so she


    all told him honestly.


    "Hogg''s Group did have a project recently, and there are manypanies that want to cooperate


    with us. Mr. Chiang is also in charge of it recently." Charlie thought for a while and then looked at


    her. "If you want to help, I can give it to him."


    Wendy was stunned. She didn''t expect that he would agree.


    As long as she wanted it, he would give it to her.


    "No..." Wendy shook her head and said firmly, "Charlie, you work with whoever you should work


    with, don''t change that because of me!"


    "Fine." Charlie said with a smile.


    Wendy took a gentle breath andy down on his sturdy chest. "I was expelled from the Lim family at


    the age of eight and have been living with my grandma... In fact, my father used to treat me well.


    Even if he isn''t a loving father, he was still a qualified one. At least I think so. But after my mother


    left, I felt strange every time when I returned to the Lim family. In these years, sometimes I even


    doubted had I ever owned my father''s love..."


    Charlie silently held her in his arms, and his thin lips fell between her eyebrows. "You have me."


    Wendy stretched out her hand and held his shoulder tightly.
