Chapter 278


    Hearing his words, Wendy looked at him in a daze.


    She didn''t seem to have recovered from the ghostly shock for a moment, her hands pressed to her


    breasts, rising and falling.


    "I''m asking you!" Charlie frowned.


    Wendy shrank a little and answered with a lingering fear, "My ne is missing..."


    She sneakingly gave him a nce and then heaved a sigh of relief quietly.


    He really scared her to death!


    "A ne?" Charlie frowned again.


    "Yes..." Wendy nodded and raised her hand to touch her empty neck. "It should have dropped in the


    dusk. I was afraid that someone would pick it up tomorrow morning, so I came to look for it."


    Charlie nced around. There were so many clouds tonight, and the moon hanging over his head


    was covered by the clouds. Only the river water reflected some light. Besides, there was grass all


    around. Although there were always people stepping on it, there''s no way to find something if it''s


    hidden.


    "Where are you going to find it in the dark?"


    Wendy signaled, "I brought a shlight..."


    "It''s just a ne. Go back to sleep first. Let''s find it tomorrow morning!" Charlie said and was


    about to pull her back. "No!" Wendy shook her head resolutely. In the dim light, she shook her head


    and pursed her lips. "You can go back by yourself. If I can''t find it tonight, I won''t go back..."


    Upon hearing this, Charlie snorted and turned around to leave.


    After walking for more than a dozen steps, he stopped abruptly and his hands in his trouser pocket


    clenched into a fist. In his sight, the beautiful figure had already bent down again and began to


    search carefully with the shlight in her hand.


    She was surrounded by darkness, and only her slender figure could be seen.


    It was very remote here, almost every family had turned off the lights. Thinking of the scared look on


    her face when he saw her just now, he frowned and turned back. She''s lucky to meet someone like


    him, but if someone who''s lousy, then it''s no use screaming her head off...


    Under the murky moonlight, Charlie''s face was tight. "Do you know where you dropped it?"


    "Well, I don''t know..."


    When Wendy looked back at him, she couldn''t help but be stunned.


    She didn''t expect that he woulde back again, pointed to a certain area and said in


    bewilderment, "Maybe it''s in this grasnd..."


    "..." Charlie''s face darkened.


    But the light was so dim that his expression couldn''t be seen at all.


    When he took out his mobile phone and turned on the shlight above the camera, he began to


    regret that he had somehow turned back and apanied her like a fool looking for a ne in


    the grass in the middle of the night...


    Wendy gave him a nce from the corner of her eye.


    Neither of them spoke, but the male scent from time to time wafted up to her nose, made her less


    afraid than she had been earlier.


    "Wendy!"


    Charlie suddenly shouted.


    Wendy raised her head."... Er?"


    Charlie had already stood up straight, giving her a hint. "Come and have a look. Is it this?"


    Upon hearing the words, Wendy trotted over and squatted down to take a closer look. Sure enough,


    there was a shining thing looming. When she reached out her hand, the little key with diamonds


    was revealed.


    "Here it is!" She was very happy. "I was scared to death. I thought I couldn''t find it tonight..."


    "Can we go back now?" Charlie took back his mobile phone.


    "Yes..." Wendy nodded firmly.


    On the way back, the two of them did not speak. One was immersed in the joy of getting back her


    ne, while the other was thinking about something else.


    In the north, it was very cold at the night even in the spring. Besides, there was a river beside, and


    it''s been a long night out there, their bodies were cold all over.


    After entering the house, Wendy boiled a pot of hot water when she was making dinner. She poured


    two cups of hot water and handed one to Charlie.


    "Charlie, have a ss of hot water..."


    She said sincerely, "Thanks to you tonight, otherwise, I wouldn''t have found it so quickly. Thank


    you!"


    Charlie picked up the cup and nced at her clenched hand.


    From the moment she returned, she always held the ne tightly in her hand, fearing that she


    might identally lose it again. He could only see the general appearance of it, a white gold


    ne with a small pendant full of diamonds.


    "Is that ne very expensive?" Charlie asked casually.


    "Well, it''s not cheap..." Wendy thought for a while and nodded.


    If she remembered correctly, it cost at least 70,000 dors. When she first wore it on her neck, she


    was even worried that it would be snatched away by a passer- by along the way. Now that she


    thought about it, she was stupid enough back then.


    Charlie suddenly came to realize, "No wonder you have to find it back in the middle of the night, for


    fear of being picked up by others!"


    "It''s not that expensive thing is precious." Wendy shook her head, clenched her hand, felt the touch


    of hard objects, and blurted out without thinking, "It''s indeed expensive, but for me, it has a special


    meaning. Moreover, the person who gave it to me said that I must wear it wherever I go in the


    future, hang it on my neck all the time, and don''t take off even when I take a bath..."


    "Ha, it''s really overbearing!" Charlie sneered.


    That''s true...


    But it was funny to be mentioned by himself like this.


    Wendyughed out and said softly, "The most important thing is that I promised that I would not lose


    it and would not return it to him."


    That was why she tried so hard to get it back.


    Although they separated four years ago, and she saw the same key ne in Madge''s neck, she


    always wore it on her neck, which was pretty much all she had left of that rtionship.

    After saying that, Wendy saw that he was looking at her, and realized that she seemed to have said


    too much. She lowered her eyes and said nothing more.


    Charlie''s pupils contracted slightly. "Was it a gift from your boyfriend?"


    "No..." Wendy shook her head.


    Feeling that such a definition was wrong, she corrected him and said, "Ex-boyfriend..."


    At the moment when she shook her head, Charlie obviously felt that his chest, which was obviously


    held tight, loosened, even though he didn''t know why.


    "Ex-boyfriend?" He frowned, surprised by him being gossip, "You dumped him?"


    "No..." Wendy shook her head again. "So he dumped you?"


    Seeing that she did not speak, it was obvious that she had tacitly approved. Charlie pulled his lips


    and asked casually, "Why did he break up? Does he have another woman?"


    "Sort of..." Wendy''s answer was vague.


    It could be said like that. He proposed to break up with her and left her behind because he didn''t


    want to y rtionship games and chose his fiancee...


    "Just a thing a scumbag giving you, Why do you ce so much value on it? He dumped you. Why


    are you still keeping this thing?" Charlie said in a low voice with a gloomy look.


    Wendy widened her eyes and seemed to be shocked by the scumbag in his mouth.


    Wasn''t it weird that he called himself scumbag...


    "What? Isn''t he a scumbag?"


    Seeing this, Charlie''s tone became more serious.


    Wendy swallowed her saliva and squeezed out a dry voice. "Er, yes... he is..."
