Chapter 378


    Just like four years ago, Gilbert Hogg still wanted to get rid of her with the check.


    At that time, she was sitting on pins and needles, her face was pale and bloodless. She felt so


    embarrassed that she didn''t even dare to raise her head. Now, although she had the same state of


    mind, she still faced Gilbert''s eyes and didn''t flinch at all.


    Gilbert''s face stiffened.

    Although Gilbert felt wrong and guilty, he''s used to being a leader and lecturing people for years,


    stubbornly not showing it. He looked at her with a sneer and repeated as if mockingly "Apology?"


    "Shouldn''t you do that?" Wendy asked the question without being obsequious, and straightened her


    back, "Chairman Hogg, I know why you came here today. But I still think that you should apologize


    to me first before you tell me these things!"


    In the past four years, she had lived in the pain of losing her child every day.


    Only a mother can know the pain she felt when she woke up from a nightmare and missed her


    child.


    Gilbert stared at her with a cold face.


    "I''ll talk to you when you''re willing to apologize to me." Seeing that he didn''t want to apologize,


    Wendy stood up from her seat and said, "Sorry, I''ll go first! This is the bill for the tea I took today."


    At the end of it, she looked at the menu and paid for half of the tea.


    When she left, she noticed that Gilbert''s face had turned pale.


    It seemed that he had always been used to being superior to others. He had always been lecturing


    others and had never been asked to apologize. So for a time, he felt very embarrassed. As Wendy


    closed the door, she vaguely saw that Gilbert reached into his pocket and took out a bottle of


    medicine.


    After leaving the teahouse, Wendy didn''t stop a cab and headed across the street to the bus stop.


    Every time she went out these days, either with Charlie or by Uncle Lee, she hadn''t taken a bus by


    herself and wasn''t sure of the route, so she changed buses in the middle, and it took her more than


    an hour to get back to the vi.


    When she entered the courtyard, she was surprised to find the white Land Rover which had left in


    the morning parked there.


    Wendy changed her shoes and walked to the living room. Aunt Lee, who was sharp-eyed, saw her


    first, and immediately reported to the inside.


    "Sir, Miss Lim is back!"


    As soon as Aunt Lee finished, Charlie, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly stood up.


    The tall figure came quickly and almost instantly arrived in front of Wendy. A deep wrinkle was


    formed between his eyebrows. The expression on his face was also somewhat stiff, and he grabbed


    her hanging hand eagerly.


    He seemed to realize that he had lost his manner, then rxed a little before he asked, "Why didn''t


    you answer the phone?"


    Upon hearing this, Wendy subconsciously reached out to touch her pocket and said, "I forgot my


    phone upstairs..."


    At that time, Gilbert came all of a sudden. She just took her handbag and followed him out. She did


    not check whether her cell phone was inside or not.


    "Then what took you so long?" Charlie frowned.


    "I didn''t get a cab. I took the bus..." Wendy exined.


    Noticing that he was wearing the suit he had worn in the morning, with his jacket and his tie still on,


    she looked down at her watch and couldn''t help but ask, "Charlie, why aren''t you in the office at this


    hour?"


    "I came back early." Charlie twitched his mouth and said lightly.


    What she didn''t know was that as soon as she left with Gilbert, Larry called Charlie and said that


    Wendy had been called out by his grandfather. Moreover, his grandfather looked so fierce. How


    could Charlie stay in thepany to have a meeting? So he called off the meeting straight away.


    Wendy had already vaguely guessed something, "You know that I went to see your father, don''t


    you?"


    "Have you been wronged?" Charlie just asked her. "No." She shook her head.


    Except for Gilbert, who once again took out a check and made her feel disrespected, she didn''t


    suffer any grievances.


    After Wendy finished, she could clearly see that Charlie''s tight eyebrows suddenly rxed, and the


    worry in his eyes was significantly reduced.


    There was a sounding from upstairs, and Larry ran down with his slippers.


    "Wendy-"


    Larry threw himself on her knees and tilted his head up, calling with concern.


    Seeing the look of concern on the father and son''s faces, Wendy felt warm in her heart.


    After dinner, it was getting dark outside.


    When Wendy pulled up the dinner chair, Charlie on the opposite side also came over. He nced at


    his son who was running out of the restaurant with his chubby belly, then whispered in her ear,


    "Come to my room after Larry falls asleep."


    "It''s not appropriate..." She blinked her eyshes.


    "If you don''te, I''ll have to find an excuse to call you over." Charlie squinted at her.


    "..." Wendy was speechless.


    Thinking of the excuse he foundst night, she nodded and blushed, "I see."


    Seeing that she had agreed, Charlie put his hands in his pockets with azy expression on his face.


    Wendy followed him out of the restaurant. When they went upstairs, she couldn''t help but stretch


    out her hand and grab Charlie''s arm. "Charlie, you''d better call your dad. He seems to be very


    angry today!"


    "Okay." Charlie replied casually.


    Wendy thought for a while, pursed her lips and continued, "When I left the teahouse, I seemed to


    see him take out a bottle of pill..."


    "He''ll be fine." Charlie looked very calm.


    It wasn''t that he was so indifferent to his father, but if anything had happened, Hogg''s Mansion


    would have called.


    However, after going back to the bedroom to take a shower, Charlie still called Gilbert.


    When Gilbert picked up the phone, he was sitting in the study. When he heard his son''s question on


    the line, he immediately raised his hand and mmed it on the table. "You, how dare you talk to me


    like that?"


    "What kind of attitude did you expect from me?" Charlie sneered. "And you know clearly what you


    have done."


    "What have I done? Charlie, I see that you are deceived by her with a few words. Don''t forget that


    she even abandoned your child and ran away with another man, and you''re still with such a woman!


    Don''t forget our engagement with the Gray family. Madge is the one who really matches you!"


    Gilbert excitedly stood up from his chair.


    Charlie said mockingly, "Dad, do you need me to remind you about how you brought the child back


    to the Hogg family? Do I have to put all the evidence in front of you personally?"


    In an instant, there was no sound from Gilbert.


    He moved his lips, but couldn''t find any words to refute.


    Charlie finally said in a cold voice, "Don''te to her again!"


    After hanging up the phone, Gilbert threw his phone onto the carpet heavily.


    His wife, E Pelly, who was carrying ginseng soup, picked up the phone and put it on the desk.


    She picked up her cell phone and put it on the desk. As she looked at his unpleasant face, she


    hesitated for a while but still said, "Master, judging from Charlie''s attitude now, why don''t we just


    forget about the engagement to the Gray family?"
