Chapter 279


    Hearing what she said, Charlie''s tight face rxed a lot.


    Wendy nced at him secretly and then silently withdrew her gaze.


    Wendy looked down at the ne in her hand, then walked to the mirror and lowered her head


    slightly. She wanted to put the ne on her neck again, but she could not see the lock because


    of the angle, so it was a little difficult. She tried to aim at the cramp ring with her fingers.


    "Let me help!"


    Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind her.


    The shadow of the tall figure fell on her. She shook her head in a hurry and said, "You don''t have


    to..."


    At the moment when the voice came out, Charlie''s big hand had reached over from behind.


    Wendy had no choice but to touch her hair and put her head down. Looking at him in the mirror, he


    reached out and put the ne on her. When he loosened his hand, his rough fingers


    identally rubbed her skin, and there were small bumps on her skin.


    Under the orange light, her skin on the back neck was fair and tender.


    Due to the height difference, Charlie could see two towering peaks of her chest. He couldn''t help


    but think of the faint ckce trim underneath when they were lying on the bed earlier. The tension


    in his lower abdomen came again, and his Adam''s apple bobbed twice in a row. He tried to look


    away.


    Two secondster, he couldn''t help looking back again.


    He narrowed his deep eyes and fixed them on the ne hanging from her corbone.


    Thinking the reason why she cared the ne so much, Charlie disdainfully curled his lips. He


    knew that it was a luxury brand and it was very expensive. The female employees would


    asionally talk about these things in private.


    But when he took a closer look at the small key, which was shaped like a sunflower petal, he


    suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.


    Wendy noticed his abnormality and couldn''t help asking, "Charlie, are you okay..."


    "My head hurts a little." Charlie raised his hand and pressed on the other side of his head.


    Looking at the little key again, he felt a stinging pain again.


    "Shall I go and find some painkiller for you?" Wendy said in a hurry.


    Charlie shook his head and said, "There''s no need. I feel much better now. Maybe it''s a nerve


    ache."


    Wendy walked over and handed him a ss of water. After watching him drink two mouthfuls of


    warm water, his furrowed eyebrows gradually stretched out. It seemed that he really felt much


    better.


    She breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly remembered something. She asked doubtfully, "Uh, by


    the way, Why were you up sote?"


    She remembered that it was veryte when she first went out, and she deliberately eased her


    steps, for fear she might disturb him. But she didn''t expect that he didn''t sleep.


    A trace of unnaturalness shed across Charlie''s face.


    He couldn''t say that it was because he was to turned on by her, so he slightly coughed, his right


    hand slightly clenched into a fist near his thin lips. "I forgot my sleeping pills."


    "Oh..." Wendy nodded suddenly.


    As if afraid of being seen through, Charlie said in a low voice, "I''m going back to my room!"


    Wendy watched him go back to the bedroom with his back slightly stiff. She raised her hand and


    touched the hard objects on her neck, and then turned back to the room silently.


    The next morning, when the sun just rose outside the window, she woke up.


    It was not because she woke up early, but because she had that nightmare again.


    Because it was too early and she couldn''t keep herself on the brick bed, and she hadn''te back


    to the countryside for many years, Wendy decided to go out for a walk. There was a half slope area


    in the countryside, where the view was the best. There was a clear river below, and ayer of


    mountains in the distance, and behind it was a vige with smoke from kitchen chimneys in the air.


    When Wendy walked under the morning light halfway, she found a person standing on the hillside.


    It was a man judging from the back. He was not very young, but he didn''t seem like he''s from


    around here. He wasn''t inly dressed, but rather, well-dressed. There was a valuable watch on his


    wrist behind his back.


    Just like Charlie, he was very ipatible with this ce.

    A viger came to her and said, "I heard that the man came from the city two days ago! He stayed


    at the Liu family''s house, next to the shop, seems to havee here to travel, and gave the Liu


    family a lot of amodation fees!"


    "Travel?" Wendy was surprised.


    She had heard Charlie and Donna say they were here on vacation, but it''s the first time she heard


    people say they were traveling here.


    "Yeah, it''s so fresh!" The viger nodded. "In such a remote and poor vige, we don''t have any


    scenic spots. What is worthy of a visit? I don''t understand rich people nowadays. I guess they''re


    here to experience life! Tsk!"


    After muttering for a while, the viger walked away, shaking his heads.


    Wendy alsoughed and shook her head. Seeing that there was someone on the slope, she


    nned to change a ce. Just as she turned around, she heard someone calling her.


    "Miss Lim!"


    It was the rich man who hade to the countryside to travel that she had talked about with the


    viger just now.


    As he walked toward her, Wendy felt that he looked more and more familiar.


    When he got close to her, she finally remembered him and tried to recall the name card in her


    mind."... Mr. Gray?"


    "Yes, it''s me!" Kim Gray smiled like a spring breeze. "I didn''t even dare to call you just now. I didn''t


    expect that Miss Lim and I would meet again in such a ce! Miss Lim probably didn''te to


    travel, did you?"


    "No, no, I''m not..." Wendy hurriedly waved her hand.


    "I remember. On that ne, you mentioned that you would worship someone after you returned."


    Kim said with a smile.


    "Yes, my grandmother was buried here. I used to live here with her when I was a child!" Wendy


    nodded and couldn''t help asking for help. "Mr. Gray, are you reallying to the countryside to


    travel?"


    "Haha, do you think it''s weird?" Kim did not deny it.


    "Er..." Wendy was embarrassed and sorry to be blunt.


    "In fact, I''m not here to travel. I just want to stay here for a few days!" Kim exined, with a distant


    look in his eyes. "I used to have a first love with a deep rtionship, but unfortunately, fate made


    fools of us. In the end, we didn''t end up together... I have been abroad all these years. When I


    returned home, I always felt that there was no aura of her in the city. I used to hear her mention her


    hometown, so I wanted toe over and have a look!"


    "I see..." Wendy nodded.


    It seemed that she knew what Kim felt like. Maybe it''s always easy to remember the past when you


    live to this age.


    Looking at the time, it was 7:30 p.m. She said, "I will go back today. What about you?"


    "I may stay here for a few more days! The air is good, much morefortable than the city!" Kim


    answered with a smile.


    Wendy nodded and waved goodbye.


    After a few steps, she couldn''t help but look back and felt a little upset.


    Wendy returned home after going to the shop. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Charlie''s


    tall figureing out of the house in a hurry. He frowned and asked after seeing her, "Where did


    you go?"
