Chapter 513
Wendy was stunned.
Francis was afraid that she would not believe him, so he emphasized, "I have no intention of making
concessions now in order to gain advantages in the future. I really want to give up!"
"Mr. Wace, have you thought things through?" Wendy asked with a joyful tone.
Even though Wendy was slightly shocked by what she heard from Francis, it was still a good thing
for her!
"I haven''t thought about it too much, but I have recognized the truth!" Francis shook his head and
put his hands behind his back. "In fact, I came here today mainly for yesterday''s ident! I did not
know that you weren''t the person who sent me the text message. If I knew, I would not go to the
hotel. But I went, and caused such misunderstanding between us. After going back home, I felt very
sorry and ufortable. Although I was a little hesitant, I decided to personally visit Mr. Hogg to
exin to him what had happened!"
Upon hearing this, Wendy felt a lot of gratitude and respect for Francis in her heart.
Francis did have openly confessed to her that he loved her, which could barely be interpreted that
he was one of her admirers. However, all along they had never made any progress. In fact, it would
still be beneficial to him if Francis refused to tell Charlie the truth, but he did not do so. This showed
that Francis was a straightforward gentleman.
"Maybe what I have done is still useless. Mr. Hogg doesn''t need this to verify his love towards you."
Francis shrugged his shoulders and continued slowly, "I have witness the love and trust between
you and Mr. Hogg in Hong Kong before, but I hadn''t expected that he was not annoyed by the fact
that you and I had been lying on the bed together. He trusted you so firmly, which shows how deep
his feelings for you are! I can also see clearly that there is no chance for any third party to separate
the two of you. No matter how hard I try, it will definitely be impossible for me to win your heart!
Therefore, I chose to give up!"
It was true. Francis had not expected that yesterday''s ident did not have any impact on their
feelings.
Wendy was still his dream lover, but he would no longer hold any intention of winning her heart
anymore; instead, he would bury all his love deep in his heart and hope only to give her blessings. It
wasn''t that his goal of love could be put down easily, but that he had lost thepetition to Charlie,
and he was sincerely convinced that Charlie was the winner.
To be more specific, Francis had already had the idea of giving up when Wendy and he were still at
the hotel yesterday.
As a man, Francis could see that Charlie''s activities indicated his unconditional trust with Wendy.
Wendy said sincerely, "Mr. Wace, you''ll definitely meet a better girl!"
Francis replied with a sunny smile. When he spoke again, his tone was much rxed. "Your
grandfather and my grandfather are good friends. Although we are of the same age, you are still
two months older than me. I will call you Sister Wendy in the future!"
"Alright..." Wendy readily agreed.
She was so happy to see that this pursuer of her had be her "younger brother" now!
Francis took the initiative to say, "I''ll treat you the other day. Don''t worry. I''m not going to invite you
alone. I''m going to invite your family of three!"
"Okay!" Wendy smiled.
After waving goodbye and watching Francis drive away, Wendy turned back to the vi.
She cooked the coffee, and then carried it to the second floor. The door of the study was opened
with a crack. Charlie seemed to have checked and sent the mail. Theputer screen was still on,
and he was sitting in a formal posture. He was wearing a pair of headphones and was having an
international video conference. He was talking with others in fluent French.
Seeing Wendye in, Charlie leaned forward and said to the headphones, "Let''s take five
minutes off now!"
Wendy then walked in with relief and handed the freshly cooked coffee to Charlie, "Charlie, the
coffee you want!"
She nced at the conference documents on the desk and was surprised. She hadn''t expected him
to be so rxed that he was holding a meeting in the study room calmly.
Seeing him take a sip, Wendy hurriedly asked, "How''s it? Is the amount of barley sugar added
appropriate?"
"Uh-huh" Charlie made a single syble, but it was unclear whether he was satisfied with the barley
sugar added or not. After putting down the coffee cup, he touched his wristwatch twice with his
index finger and said, "Why did it cost more than 20 minutes for you to talk to Francis?"
Wendy couldn''t help but burst intoughter. She knew it!
Walking over and sitting on hisp, Wendy put her arms around Charlie''s neck and said, "No, I have
just talked to him a little. Don''t you see I have to cook coffee for you? The coffee powders have
been used up, and I had to grind them again. Of course, it would have to take a long time!"
"Mm..." Charlie''s tone then became more rxed.
Wendy continued and passed on the words of Francis to him, "Francis told me that he decided to
give up, and he also wanted to call me Sister Wendy in the future!"
Charlie frowned when he heard "Francis" instead of "Mr. Wace", but he became rxed when he
heard that Francis was to treat Wendy like an older sister.
Wendy raised her hand amusedly and touched the center between his eyebrows. Her purpose was
to tell him to rx and not to worry that someone else woulde and steal his lover''s heart away!
"But there''s still someone around you who won''t give up!” Wendy murmured.
Thinking of Tilly, she also recalled something else and asked, "Charlie, when you were in the hotel,
you mentioned something like ''for the sake of Tilly''s mother'', what did you mean?"
Charlie told her that Jazmin Gray, Tilly Gray''s mother, had once been his mother''s ssmate in the
university. Ms. Hogg, his mother, had passed away. Every year, Jazmin Gray would send some
flowers to pay respects on every death anniversary of his mother.

''''I see!" Wendy nodded as she heard this. "It''s quite annoying, but it''s just a prank. If Tilly is a little
more malicious, I can''t imagine what the consequences would be..."
Inparison, Tilly King and Ynda Lim seemed to be the same kind of people, but they were in
fact notpletely the same. They were both spoiled and domineering in their characters, but
essential differences did exist between them. This conclusion could be drawn from the ident
yesterday. If Tilly decided to use philter, a drug which can cause erotic desire of men and women,
Wendy and Francis might have fallen victims to worse things...
At that time, Wendy and Francis were not properly dressed, but fortunately, there were still some
small pieces of clothes to iste them from each other. At worst, they would still be left with a way
out by the istion, which could effectively prevent irreversible trouble from happening. In other
words, it could be seen that Tilly just wanted a prank, and definitely did not want to cause Charlie''s
misunderstanding and anger.
Charlie snorted with a cold look in his eyes.
If that weren''t the case, he would not have let Tilly
off so easily!
Charlie''s arms tightened around her waist as he said in a deep voice, "I''ll go with you to the Gray
family''s old residence in the future."
"Yes!" Wendy nodded. Looking at his watch, she stood up from his leg. "It seems that five minutes''
time is up. You must continue the conference. I''ll go downstairs to apany Larry!"
Charlie replied with a twitch of his lips and pinched her hip before she left.
When he started theputer again, an image of long-distancework appeared on the screen. In
a conference room, several blonde, blue- eyed foreigners were waiting for Charlie. Wendy lowered
her head and collected the coffee cup and tray. Before she left, she saw someone''s lips moved, as
if he was asking Charlie who this beautifuldy in his room was.
Then, Charlie replied in English, "She''s my future wife."
Although Wendy had heard the word "fiancee" more than once from Charlie''s mouth, she felt very
excited every time she heard it.
Wendy, who had already reached the door, couldn''t help but turn back. She then kissed him on the
face and left.
She failed to control the kissing strength properly, so that a loud sound of "Pua..." was heard.
Charlie''s facial expression froze. A red flush crept onto his handsome face. He cleared his throat
and said to his clients on the screen who had been petrified, "Hoop...Let''s continue!"
