Chapter 505
The two of them went back to the Land Rover. When Charlie started the engine, he felt especially
happy, so that he opened the radio to listen to some music.
Wendy looked at the faint smile suggested by the corners of his lips and licked her tongue. "Charlie,
you''re really a bad guy!"
"Beautiful women love only the bad guys," Charlie said, his face neither turning red nor panting.
"..." Wendy was then speechless.
When Charlie began turning the steering wheel, he nced at her and said, "Call Aunt Lee and tell
her to prepare the meal for us. Well arrive home in about half an hour."
"Go back home for dinner?" Wendy was surprised. She blinked her eyes and said, "Why did you
invite Mr. Wace to have dinner outside just now? I know you did it on purpose!"
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no car ahead or behind theirs, Charlie stretched out his
arms suddenly and held her into his arms. Biting her lips, he kissed her passionately and
aggressively, dering, "You''re mine!"
He kissed Wendy in such a manner until she was out of breath.
When she was let go, Wendy raised her eyes and looked out of the windshield. As expected, she
just saw that in the opposite parking space, Francis''s chestnut-brown Audi A8 was slowly driving out
of the parking lot and colliding with the Land Rover''s head.
Thinking of the two cousins of the Gray family, Wendy made up her mind adamantly.
"Forget all about it! I''ll torture the poor ''single dog'' to the end!"
She ced her hand on his chest and raised her head to kiss his thin lips. Imitating his overbearing
tone, she eximed, "Charlie, you''re also mine!"
Then, the passions turned into a deeper kiss. They did not let go of each other until a lot of cars
were blocked behind them and horns were ring angrily.
After receiving a phone call from Eduardo Gray, Wendy was very surprised.
After Uncle Lee drove her to the old residence of the Gray family, Wendy got out of the car. Under
the old locust tree in the courtyard, a servant with a kettle of water in her hand came over and said,
"Miss Wendy, the old master is in the study. He said that you should go directly to meet him!"
"Okay, thank you!"
After she nodded and thanked the servant, Wendy entered the vi.
When Wendy visited here before, Kim Gray had once taken her to the study, so it was not difficult
for her to find it on the basis of her memory. The door of the room was not closed. Just likest time,
Eduardo was wearing a bluish gray long robe and standing in front of the writing desk, on which a
chessboard was ced.
Last time, the old master was ying Chinese Weiqi. This time, he was ying Chinese Chess.
Wendy walked into the study and whispered, "Grandpa..."
This time, the old master did not deliberately greet her. His eyes were still fixed on the chess board,
but it was obvious that he did not want to be distracted by Wendy. He simply raised his hand and
motioned for her to sit down. "Well, take a seat first!"
As Eduardo was still standing, Wendy felt that it would be inappropriate for her to sit down directly.
She stood in front of the desk with her hands sped behind her back.
Although they were still not very close to each other at the moment, as a junior, she still had to show
her respect to the old master.
Eduardo was very concentrated on chess ying. Wearing a pair of presbyopic sses, he had not
blinked for a long time, as he was reflecting upon how to win the chess game yed all by himself.
When he picked up a "Chariot", Wendy could not help but interrupt, "It''s better to use the ''Horse''!"
She immediately regretted it. As the saying went, "A real gentleman should say nothing of chess
ying when he watches others y chess". She might have made a foolish mistake that she
should not have made, even if the old master was simply ying chess with himself.
However, Eduardo was not annoyed by that. ording to what Wendy had suggested, he picked
up the ''Horse''. After that, he looked up and asked her, "Do you know how to y chess?"
"Well...A little bit." Wendy said in slight shyness.
"Come over here. Let me see your chess- ying level!" After hearing Wendy''s words, Eduardo
immediately said.
Wendy did not refuse him. She rearranged all the chess pieces on the chessboard.
Eduardo chose the ck side, and Wendy would be the red side. ording to rules of Chinese
Chess, Wendy was to start the game first. She moved the "Cannon" as the first step. After a few
steps, her "Cannons" and "Horses" seemed to have posed a threat to the old master on the
chessboard. Eduardo was slightly amazed by Wendy''s chess- ying skills, and then smiled to her.
"You are a modest girl. This is not just ''a little bit''. I think your chess-ying skills are quite good.
You can barely y with me, then."
"..." Wendy did not know how to reply to the old master''s self-confidence.
Was this apliment for her, or for himself?
What she did not know was that the old master''s favorite hobby in his life was ying chess. Since
his health declined, he had been staying overseas for health preservation for many years, which
bored him so much that he had even taught the foreign nanny to y chess with him.
As the saying went, "Old ginger is hotter than new ones". It was impossible for Wendy to win the
game with the old master, who had been fond of ying chess for almost his whole life. In the end,
she lost the game without any chance of winning.
Looking at the chessboard, Eduardo asked with a smile, "Wendy, have you learned professional
chess ying before?"
In the process of chess ying just now, the old master had noticed that Wendy was very good at
ying chess and did not seem to be a novice. Although he won in the end, there was only a few
ck chess pieces left on his side.
"No..." Wendy shook her head.
Touching the chess piece in her hand, she exined in a low voice, "My mother passed away when
I was only eight. My adoptive father married someone else, and then gave birth to a younger sister.
For this reason, I was dismissed from the Lim family, and since then had been living with my
grandmother. My grandmother was poor. I did not have any toys or dolls, so I often went to my
neighbor''s house to see her y chess. She was also an old woman. I just learned a little by
watching her y Chinese Chess..."
Eduardo was stunned when he heard this, and his eye expressions gradually became more and
moreplicated.
Although Wendy said it very casually, and even deliberately avoided to mention the sufferings she
had gone through during the first half of the story, it could still be deduced that she was not leading
a happy life at that time. At least, she was not happy when she was a child. As an eight-year-old
child, she was supposed to be more carefree...
With a sigh, the old masterforted her in a very pitiful tone, "Kid, you''ve suffered a lot!"
Wendy just smiled and did not mention further about her sufferings.
Eduardo waved at her and asked her to sit down on the Chinese-style chair next to him. He slowly
said, "Thank you very much for the liver donation you did to Kim!"
One''s body was given to him/ her by the parents. Perhaps from the perspective of human rtions,
it was reasonable for everyone to make the decision to donate part of his/ her liver to his/ her father.
However, there were also people who were unwilling to do so, because of fear and selfishness.
Wendy had never experienced anything like paternal love in the past. It would be reasonable for her
to reject the suggestion of liver donation, but she did not.
"He is my father. I can''t see him die without doing anything," Wendy said in a low voice.
She really did not think too much at the beginning. Maybe it was because of the rtionship that
"blood was thicker than water".
Eduardo nodded with gratification. He stretched out his hands across the table in the middle and
took Wendy''s hands. He then paused and said, "In fact, I almost saw your biological mother back
then! Not long after Kim returned home from Germany uponpletion of his overseas study, he
took the initiative to confess to me. He said that he wanted to get married to a girl other than Linda,
his fiancee. He believed that this new girlfriend was a soul mate for him. At that time, the family had
actually started arranging for the marriage between he and Linda. We were simply waiting for him to
come back from the overseas study program, and nned to hold the wedding ceremony for him
after that! But I still agreed to meet with him and his new girlfriend. I also intended to allow him and
his new girlfriend to get married if ever I could observe true love between them. Unexpectedly, they
finally broke up with each other. Kim was upset for a long time, and he married Linda in the end."
Wendy was a little stunned. She did not expect that the old master would mention her mother, that
he also know her mother''s existence.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
