Chapter 429
"Still alive..." Wendy swallowed her saliva.
In addition to deliberately trying to tease her, Charlie did so to get her out of the shadow of being
kidnapped quickly.
Although the two had talked about it in the dead of night and he had alsoforted her, he was still
worried in his heart. In this way, he wanted her to forget the bad things that had happened before.
How could Wendy not know what he was thinking? She wanted to ease the tension and asked,
"How about I also enroll in a taekwondo ss?"
Every week, she would take Larry to the taekwondo ss.
Wendy saw Charlie reveal a pensive expression and seem to consider what she said, so she
hurriedly said, "I''m just kidding!"
Larry took the taekwondo ss to build his body, but she had no interest in any of those things at
all. If she fell a few times, her bones would definitely shatter.
"Why are you here? Where''s Uncle Lee? You let him go back?" Wendy couldn''t help but ask.
"Yes, I just finished a meeting. I have nothing else to do, so I came out of thepany in advance."
Charlie pulled his lips and answered her. He took a step forward and his strong body approached
her closer, then deliberately said in a mischievous tone, "Do you think it''s better for me to rob you
for money or sex?"

Wendy blinked her eyes, ying along with his evil taste. "My money is in my bag, and sex, we''ll
talk about it when we get home!"
Charlieughed in a low voice after hearing what she said. Then he took her shoulder and walked
out of the apartment building quickly.
After the Land Rover stopped in the courtyard, Aunt Lee was watering flowers in front of the door,
where green branches and leaves were blooming from the pots.
Wendy was led by Charlie toe over and asked, "Aunt Lee, is Larry back?"
"Not yet. Donna called and said that she would take the young master back after dinner!" Aunt Lee
replied.
"Oh, so that''s it!" Wendy nodded. It was understandable.
When she saw Aunt Lee looking back at the vi, she asked again, "Aunt Lee, what''s wrong?"
"We have a guest at home!" Aunt Lee reported in a hurry.
"A guest?" Wendy was shocked.
"Yes!" Aunt Lee nodded, looked at Charlie next to her, and continued with hesitation, "It''s for Miss,
Miss Lim, it''s a man!"
Wendy was stunned by Aunt Lee''s words.
She subconsciously looked at Charlie, his face darkened a little. "Let''s go in and have a look!"
"Okay."
Wendy did not dare to say much and followed Charlie obediently.
However, she still had doubts in her heart. Although she''s so growing up, it can be said that she had
few friends of the opposite sex, which could be counted by her fingers, and she really didn''t know
who woulde for her.
Was it Ryan, or Felix?
But it''s unlikely to be them...
Wendy changed her slippers and entered the house, and the two of them directly headed in the
direction of the living room. When she clearly saw the face of the man sitting on the couch, she was
extremely surprised. She extended her hand and pointed at the man as she asked in a surprised
voice, "Ewan Shaw?"
"It''s me." Ewan stood up from the couch.
"Oh my god, it''s really you!" Wendy took back her fingers and covered her mouth.
Just that moment, she almost thought she was mistaken, that man really was Ewan who had
disappeared for a long time!
"Wendy, long time no see!" Ewan smiled slightly at her, and then turned his eyes to Charlie next to
her and said, "Charlie."
Charlie nodded his head as a response.
After sitting down again, Aunt Lee brought two cups of tea. Wendy looked at Ewan, who was sitting
opposite her. He was wearing a ck suit without a tie, but the buttons of his shirt were neatly
buttoned. Unlike the yboy four years ago, he did not look like a ruffian anymore. Instead, he
looked more mature.
As she sensed these changes in Ewan, she asked, "Ewan, I heard that you had left Ice City for four
years. Where have you been? You... How did you get a tan like this? I almost didn''t recognize you!"
In the past, Ewan''s skin was not very fair, but now itpletely cked several degrees. Although
he''s not that ck, he''s ck enough, especially in ck clothes, which made his skin looked
darker.
"A little!" Ewan also seemed to approve of this. He shrugged his shoulders and said in a very
helpless tone, "I don''t have a choice. The sun over there in Ang is really hot, and I be like
this over time!"
By saying this, he was answering what she had asked.
Charlie, who had never spoken, twitched his lips and asked, "When did youe back?"
"I just got off the ne this morning." Ewan answered slowly.
Upon hearing this, Wendy nodded. No wonder she felt that there was a sign of travel on him.
"I haven''t seen you on New Year''s Eve for four years. Why do you suddenlye back now?"
Charlie''s long legs ovepped, and his slippers swayed with his shaking legs, and his eyes
narrowed.
"It''s all because of you two." Ewan did not hide anything from them. "...Us?" Wendy was stunned.
Ewan nodded and said with a helpless smile, "It''s because Charlie is going to leave Hogg''s Group,
so I was urgently summoned back by our father!"
Upon hearing this, both of them could not help but fall silent.
Charlie''s thin lips curled into a thin line.
Wendy knew that this was Gilbert''s response to the sudden bombshell of his son leaving Hogg''s
Group. In other words, it was also a strategy, because the Hogg family had another son.
So it seemed that Gilbert had not changed his attitude about them.
Charlie seemed to have expected it long ago, or he didn''t care about it at all. His expression didn''t
change much.
"Ie to see my old friends and to talk about the old days by the way!" Ewan didn''t want to
continue this topic, so he said, "Charlie, do you mind if I stay for dinner? I also brought a bottle of
white wine, which was treasured by my friends there. I haven''t had the chance to drink it!"
Charlie looked at Wendy who kept giving him meaningful eyes, and nodded.
Wendy smiled and stood up. "Then I''ll ask Aunt Lee to add two more dishes!"
Although there was no Larry at dinner, but there was an extra Ewan. Six dishes and one soup, Aunt
Lee helped a lot, and she cooked them.
After Ewan sat down, he said with a smile that they had known each other for so many years, and it
was the first time he had tasted the meal she cooked. And Charlie didn''t speak much during the
whole dinner. She and Ewan were talking most of the time.
They were talking about the past. Sometimes, they would talk about Felix.
But when she saw Charlie''s gloomy face, she hesitated for a while and then changed the subject.
Charlie and Ewan were not close to each other as brothers, so they didn''t talk much. However, they
had drunk all the white wine Ewan brought, along with another bottle of red wine, and she shared
less than half a cup of it.
Ewan seemed to be a little tipsy. When he got up, his eyes were a little dazzled, but he was not so
drunk.
It was alreadypletely dark outside.
After the meal, Ewan did not continue to disturb them, but proposed to leave.
With Wendy''s insistence, Charlie followed Ewan out of the vi anxiously.
Since Ewan came by himself, he didn''t drive the car. Charlie asked Uncle Lee to drive him away, but
he refused. He said that he wanted to walk along the private road and got a cab back, which could
also relieve his drunken spirits.
In this way, Charlie sent him to the front gate of the yard.
Ewan waved his hand, indicating that Charlie didn''t need to see him off. After taking two steps, he
suddenly stopped.
Then he turned around and came back. He looked at Wendy and said, "Wendy, I have something to
tell you."
"Well, what''s the matter?" Wendy asked with a puzzled expression.
Under the moonlight, the expression on Ewan''s face was somewhatplicated, or rather, there
was a lot of guilt in it. He sighed and slowly said, "To be exact, there is one thing that I owe you an
apology."
