Chapter 426


    Gilbert had the strongest reaction.


    The expression on his face froze in an instant, and then a wave of raging anger came from the


    bottom of his heart. It seemed that he was really angry, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged,


    which were as thick as a rod and he could not say a word.


    And, his body swayed, and he managed to stand after held on to the desk with his hands.


    "I''m here to tell you this. Now, I''m done talking."

    Charlie stood up from his old-fashioned wooden armchair as soon as he finished speaking.


    His deep and serene eyes were as deep as an ancient well, with no trace of hesitation or


    yfulness.


    There was no hesitation in his tone just now, as if he had already made up his mind and that was


    why he could speak in such a loud and clear voice.


    Wendy was still in shock, and Charlie reached out and took her hand, like every time the fingers


    were interlocked, "Wendy, let''s go back!"


    Then, the two of them disappeared again in the study room.


    Through the open window, Gilbert could faintly hear the sound of the engine of the car starting and


    leaving.


    They appeared and left in a hurry. It didn''t take long for them to talk with each other, but the


    atmosphere frozed in the study.


    Kim noticed Gilbert''s falling figure and hurried over to support him. "Brother Hogg, are you alright?"


    Gilbert was sitting in a leather chair, clutching his chest with one hand and waving the other hand,


    but he couldn''t say a word.


    At this time, he had no time to exin anything to Kim.


    "Old Master!"


    When E went upstairs, she happened to see the situation.


    Kim quicklyforted her, "It should be a rise in blood pressure. E, call a family doctor toe


    and take a look at him!"


    He looked out of the window, and there was no trace of the white Land Rover.


    Kim indeed came here today for his daughter''s marriage with Charlie, but he had not changed his


    attitude. He respected the choices of the young people, and he also wanted to show his not- so-


    aggressive attitude on behalf of the Gray family.


    But now it seemed that he didn''t need to say more.


    After leaving Hogg''s Mansion, Charlie drove back to the vi. Like Wendy suggested earlier, he


    picked up Larry, went to see a movie together as a family, and then had dinner outside.


    Larry was in a very good mood. On the way back, he was still talking to Wendy excitedly about the


    cartoon characters in the movie.


    Charlie seemed to be in a good mood too, but he focused on driving the car.


    Only Wendy was different, she couldn''t concentrate on the movie, and had been distracted by


    thinking about the things that happened in Hogg''s Mansion.


    After she got home and put Larry to sleep, she looked at her watch and saw that it was more than


    ten o''clock, but there was no one in the bedroom next door. However, the door to the study was left


    open, and from inside the gap, there was light pouring onto the floor of the hallway.


    Wendy walked over with light footsteps.


    Through the gap, she saw Charlie who was sitting on a chair smoking.


    He was wearing a white shirt, but unlike in the office, he had unbuttoned the whole row of buttons in


    the front. His strong chest muscles were half exposed, and his right hand holding the mouse was


    holding a half-burned cigarette.


    As he brought the cigarette to his thin lips, the white smoke he exhaled spread out in all directions


    and his eyes narrowed with it.


    Wendy knew that he didn''t smoke in front of Larry.


    And he almost didn''t smoke much recently, because he still wanted to have a daughter, fearing that


    nicotine would have a bad effect, so she hadn''t seen him smoking for a long time.


    Although he didn''t change his face in front of Gilbert, he must not feel good every time he disobeyed


    his father.


    Wendy could understand his feelings at this time. "How long do you n to peep at me?" When


    Charlie put out the cigarette in the ashtray, he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a sound.


    Well, he got her...


    Wendy pushed the door open awkwardly and saw that the ashtray was already filled with cigarette


    butts.


    She stood in front of the writing desk with her hands down, and she seemed to want to say


    something but stopped on second thought.


    Charlie crooked his finger at her. When she came over like a puppy, he pulled her on hisp and


    held her hand so that her back was against the edge of the table.


    Unlike when they were in the office in the evening, Wendy was much morefortable at home,


    and she didn''t struggle much.


    Charlie saw through the confusion in her eyes andughed, "Go ahead and ask whatever you want


    to ask!"


    "Charlie, you..." Wendy frowned and pursed her lips. "Are you serious about what you said to your


    father?"


    "Yes, I''ll take you away." Charlie confirmed.


    Hearing it from him again, Wendy felt that her heart was beating violently.


    She gulped twice before she regained her voice. "When did you have such a n..."


    "I had it a long time ago." Charlie''s lips curled into a smile.


    In other words, since the day the two of them got back together, he was prepared for this in his mind


    all the time.


    Wendy listened and fell silent for a moment.


    That''s right, from the way he said this to Gilbert without any hesitation, she could see his


    determination.


    Wendy lowered her eyshes for a long time. When she looked up again, she couldn''t help but ask


    again, "Charlie, are you sure? Don''t you want everything here?"


    They were all well aware of what this meant.


    "Hum." Charlie replied indifferently.


    She could not help but hold her breath, "You did it for me, right?"


    "For us." Charlie grabbed her hand and yed with it in his palm.


    "..." Wendy''s nose felt sour.


    Although he emphasized the word "us", it was the sacrifice he made.


    Charlie''s eyes were fixed on her. It seemed that he could easily see through her thoughts. He


    touched the back of her hand with his finger and said, "Wendy, do you still remember what you


    said?"


    "I remember!" Wendy nodded slowly.


    She knew that he was referring to the words she had said to him thest time she hade back


    from the hospital.


    She would never break up with him again, she would always stay with him for the rest of her life.


    Therefore, it was enough.


    Charlie''s thin lips formed into a faint smile, he didn''t need to say anything.


    When their eyes met, their heart began to intertwine with each other.


    "We can leave this ce and settle down abroad, any country will do." Charlie''s Adam''s apple


    bobbed up and down and he said in a calm voice, "But we can''t leave immediately, I need some


    time to quit from the position of president of the Hogg''s Group.


    I still have a lot of things to do. After I''m done with that, we''ll leave with Larry!"


    "Why does it sound like we''re eloping?" Wendy blinked her eyes.


    Charlie raised his eyebrows and seemed to be thinking seriously. "If we''re eloping, it''s just our


    business, and we should leave Larry behind."


    Hearing this, Wendy got a little flustered. She was afraid that he really had such a thought, so she


    quickly changed her words, "Well, I said it wrong just now. In fact, it''s more like going far away!"
