Chapter 447
Wendy''s body was a little stiff but slowly softened after being encircled in his arms.
He ran to Lim''s house to pick her up but she had already left, and Johnny wouldn''t hide it from him
because her face looked terrible when she came out of the house.
She buried her face in his chest and closed her eyes, trying her best to smell the male scent
emanating from his body. She wanted to draw some strength from him.
After a long while, Wendy spoke slowly, her voice getting lower and lower, "Then you should know
that I am not the daughter of the Lim family. In fact, my father and I are actually not rted by blood,
I don''t even know who I am..."
"So what?"
Charlie replied with a deep voice and pulled her out of his arms. He gazed at her and said, "Even if
you are an orphan, what difference does it make? You''re the woman I want!"
Wendy was forced to raise her head. When she looked into those deep and serene eyes of his, she
could see that he said it in earnest.
As early as the beginning of their rtionship, she had been the daughter of the Lim family
abandoned outside, and he had never cared about it, and the only thing that he had always been
obsessed with was her. Although she had lost her mother and her grandma, and now she was not
even sure who her father was, so what did it matter?
She was his woman. That was enough!
Charlie touched her face with his long fingers and asked in a low voice, "Are you sad?"
After learning about what happened to her from Johnny, he immediately drove over and drove along
the road in the coffee shop. As expected, he saw her walking alone in the crowd with her head
down. It was a sunny day, but she seemed to be covered with dark clouds.
Especially when he saw her losing her wits as she walked on the streets, being knocked down by
the passers- by, and then burying her head in his embrace, an inexplicable feeling of bitterness
stuck in his throat. For a moment, he didn''t know how tofort her.
"No..." Wendy shook her head in a muffled voice.
Compared with sadness, she was more at a loss and didn''t know what to do...

Wendy raised her hand and held him gently, shaking his hand. "Don''t look at me like that. I feel like
a poor puppy!"
Charlie was amused by her words.
He kissed her forehead and eyshes. Then he pulled his lips and said, "You did a good job. You
didn''t cry."
"I don''t like crying!" Wendy protested.
Charlie raised his eyebrows at her and asked, "What''s next? Should I keep carrying you here, or
should we go home?"
"Uh, let''s go home!" Wendy sat back from his arms.
After putting down the handbrake, Charlie suddenly turned his head to the side and looked at her.
There was a mischievous gleam in his eyes. "We haven''t had car sex in a long time. Shall we find a
quiet ce?"
"Stop it..." Wendy immediately bit her lips shyly.
"No?" Charlie grabbed her hand and pressed it under the belt.
Wendy cried out in a low voice,"... Hey!"
After withdrawing her hand, she quickly fastened her seatbelt and sat up straight. She only dared to
secretly nce at him with the corner of her eyes. The sunset glowing through the window
reflected on her cheeks, making her blush even more.
Charlie started the engine and merged the Land Rover into the traffic.
Well, she finally didn''t put on a poker face.
Charlie sat on a high back chair with his back to the whole setting sun outside the window.
He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and ced it between his fingers. He flicked the
lighter twice, but it suddenly urred to him that if he was going to have a daughter, he should try
his best to quit smoking and drinking. Even though she had no signs of being pregnant yet, he was
still looking forward to it. Charlie''s thin lips curled up and he put the cigarette back into the case.
Ewan, sitting opposite, wearing a suit, looked up just in time to see the corner of Charlie''s lips form
a slight arc, and even the indifferent eyebrows seem to have softened a little.
Ewan closed the document in his hand and put it on the desk. "I have read all these documents and
know the basic information, tomorrow I will go to talk about further cooperation as agreed."
"Hum." Charlie''s lips twitched.
"I''ve been looking through thepany''s ount books these days, and it''s killing me!" Ewan
sighed. "And theserge and small projects, each of which you negotiated, will not go smoothly if
you want to pass them to me in the future. Besides, I''m not very good at them."
"You''ll get used to it sooner orter." Charlie''s tone was indifferent.
Ewan frowned and said after a pause, "Dad had no choice but to call me back. You are the most
suitable person for this position. Are you sure that you really want to leave it and don''t you ever
think about changing your mind?"
"No." Charlie''s answer was very straightforward.
Ewan still wanted to say something, but Charlie raised his hand to stop Ewan and took out his
vibrating phone.
"I''m done with my work."
Charlie looked down at his watch, picked up the coat on the back of the chair, and said in a low
voice, "Well, wait for me for two minutes. I''m going downstairs now."
Although Ewan did not know who was calling, he could guess who it was from the look on Charlie''s
face when Charlie spoke. Only when facing Wendy did he show a hint of unconscious tenderness.
After Wendy hung up the phone, she held Larry''s hand and waited in the hall.
Today, she was bringing Larry to an afternoon taekwondo ss, and it was evening afterwards. She
thought she would take Larry to eat out, so she called Charlie and let Uncle Lee send them to
Hogg''s Group.
In fact, she really wanted to go upstairs, but the eyes of those staff made her feel shy and
ufortable. When she thought about going to the rest area on the side to sit and wait, there was
a "ding" sound of the elevator.
She just took a nce subconsciously. Could it be Charlie? She didn''t expect that she would see
someone she didn''t want to see.
Wendy wanted to pretend not to see her, turned around and took Larry to avoid, but didn''t expect
that she had sharp eyes. She saw Wendy almost at the same time Wendy saw her, and had walked
toward Wendy.
"Miss Lim!"
Wendy frowned and said, "Miss Gray."
Larry, who was held by Wendy, seemed to feel Wendy''s resistance to Madge, tilted his head and
shouted softly, "Wendy!" Then, he stood in front of Wendy with his cheeks puffed, and his big ck
grape-like eyes stared at Madge with vignce, as if he was protecting Wendy.
When Wendy saw this, her heart warmed and she couldn''t help but raise her hand and touch his
head.
Madge saw this scene of mother and son''s kindness and filial piety, the expression on her face had
two seconds of stiffness, but after all, she was a person who was good at hiding her true feelings,
so she quickly returned to normal with two dimples on her face, "Miss Lim, I really admire you!"
"What do you mean?" Wendy asked, pursing her lips.
"For your sake, Charlie exit the business world at this age, even the president of Hogg''s Group, you
really have a lot of charm! He loves you more than anything, you must be very touched, right?"
Madge almost gnashed as she said.
Wendy just said, "That''s our business."
Larry looked in the direction of the elevator and suddenly called out, "Daddy!"
When the two of them looked over, they saw Charlie''s tall figure walking straight towards them.
However, he was walking towards the mother and son. Even though Madge was so close to him,
his eyes did not stop on her.
"Charlie!" Madge could only call in a gentle voice.
Charlie looked over with his deep eyes, but he still twitched his lips and said, "Sunny, I''ve already
informed Gray''s Group that the next report file will be sent to you, so you don''t need toe." After
that, without waiting for her answer, he bent over and held his son in his arms. Then he took
Wendy''s hand and walked out of the building without looking back.
Madge clenched her teeth, and she tried so hard to keep the elegant smile on her face.
She looked at their backs with stiff eyes. She didn''t know what they had said, but she saw the curve
of Charlie''s lips from a distance.
Many people in the hall also stopped to gaze as she did, but they all showed envious looks, all
without fail to stimte her, those eyes seemed to be saying that they were a happy family of three,
although they were indeed...
It was only when they disappeared that she unwillingly withdrew her gaze.
Madge did not leave immediately, but turned around and walked back. The elevator opened slowly
again, and people came out one after another. She stood there for a few seconds. When the person
she''s waiting for was almost there, she took the initiative to walk to him, revealing two sweet
dimples and said, "Ewan, let''s have dinner together!"
