Chapter 534


    After the whole day''s work was over, Wendy finally allowed him to pick her up, but she asked him to


    park the car a little further away. Afraid of being discovered by others, she sneaked into the car and


    then went to pick up Larry, who went to the kindergarten on the first day. Both Wendy and Larry had


    a busy and meaningful day.


    Charlie, listening to their happyughter and cheerful voices, felt very contented and happy.


    Wendy liked this tempo of life. In the morning, they left home together. After sending her son to


    kindergarten, she and Charlie, bathing in the morning sun, would go to work together. At this


    moment, she felt as if they wererades advancing shoulder to shoulder to the future.


    During the lunch hour, Wendy didn''t have lunch with his colleagues but instead went to a tea café


    behind the office building.


    Upon arrival, she saw Francis in the café. At noon, he called to meet her. Since she was at work,


    they settled on this café near the office building.


    While taking her seat, Wendy spotted a cup of warm milk on the table already.


    Francis handed it to her and asked, "Have you told Mr. Hogg about this?"


    "Don''t worry. I have called him in advance to ask for permission." Wendy couldn''t help chuckling.


    In fact, Charlie did not stop her from seeing him, for he believed Francis was a decent man after


    meeting him many times. Nevertheless, before hanging up the phone, he still emphasized that she


    and Larry should not spend too much time with any other men.


    ''''Good.1'' Francis smiled brightly.


    The waiter brought the menu, and they ordered dishes respectively. Ever since Wendy was


    pregnant, Charlie had been reading books about pregnancy care to her. Thus, she paid much more


    attention to her diet and wouldn''t eat anything that might not good for her baby.


    When she closed the menu, Francis, who was opposite her, was looking down on his phone after


    ordering a set.


    His phone ced near the edge of the table kept vibrating, and messages flowing into his cellphone


    lit up its screen continuously.


    Wendy, seeing him frowning, couldn''t help asking with concern, "Urn, are you okay?"


    "Nothing serious!" Francis raised his head quickly, waved his hand, and said. Then he turned off the


    screen and put his phone in silent mode. "Sorry, but too many harassing messages recently!"


    Wendy smiled and didn''t ask more about it. Spam messages were quite normal.


    After Francis put away his mobile phone, he said, "Sister Wendy, Ie here to see you for my


    grandfather!"


    "Mr. Wace?" Wendy was surprised.


    "Yes!” Francis nodded. "I told my grandfather my thoughts. Though he felt it was a pity, he


    supported me! After knowing that I called you Sister Wendy, he said it would be better to make this


    rtionship real. Therefore, he''d like to know if you want to be his nominal granddaughter!"


    "Ah..." Wendy was even more surprised.


    With the warm smile in his eyes, he continued to conveying Mr. Wace''s words, "We don''t know


    your opinion about it, so grandpa sent me here to ask you in advance. He said that as long as you


    agreed, you would be his grandchild like me!"


    "A very ttering offer from Mr. Wace!" Wendy was pleasantly surprised.


    She had only met him a few times, including in Hong Kong. Though Mr. Wace had shown her


    much affection except for their first meeting, she did not expect him toe up with such an idea.


    Wendy was clear that many people, whether in Hong Kong or Ice city, vied to seek connections with


    the Wace family. No one would refuse such an incredibly great chance to be Mr. Wace''s


    daughter or granddaughter. So, she decided in no time.


    "Mr. Wace is so generous to offer me such a favor. I feel extremely ttered! Thank you very


    much for his love for me!"


    Hearing this, Francis was delighted and called her more affectionately, "Sister Wendy, did call still


    him Mr. Wace? Well, the next time you see him, you''d better call him grandpa!"


    "Sure!" Wendy replied with a smile.


    The waiter began to serve the dishes one after another, and Wendy''s cell phone in the bag rang.


    Wendy thought it must be Charlie, who called because he was still worried about her when she was


    out to have a meal with some other man. But Wendy found it was not him after she took out her


    phone and saw the number. "Hello, Tilly?"


    With her head lowered, she did not notice that Francis sitting opposite her was stunned when he


    heard the name.


    "Urn, not in thepany, I''m outside. Lunch? I haven''t eaten it yet..." She replied on the phone,


    looked up at Francis, and continued, "Francis and I are in the tea café behind thepany, and our


    dishes haven''t yet been served! Do you want toe? Oh, okay, I''ll send you the address..."

    After hanging up, Wendy sent him the address.


    Francis asked, "Is Tillying?"


    "Yes, she said that she was at home, somewhere not far away, and she was starving because she


    hadn''t eaten anything at all. Now she has called a car toe here! Since we had eaten together


    last time, I didn''t ask for your opinion just now. Francis, you won''t mind that, will you?"


    "Nope." Francis answered.


    Wendy knew that he was a gentleman, so he hurriedly said, "We can just wait for her while eating!"


    "Yes." Francis smiled.


    At this time, the waiter almost brought up all the dishes that they had ordered.


    Francis picked up the chopsticks for a long time but did not pick up any food. It seemed that he was


    worried about something. Suddenly, he put down the chopsticks. "Sister Wendy, I remembered


    something that my grandfather had also asked me to do. I have to deal with it as soon as possible!"


    "Eh? Then won''t you eat anything?” Wendy asked in surprise.


    "No need. I''m not that hungry. You guys can eat these dishes. I''m going to pay the bill now!"


    Wendy opened her mouth but didn''t know what to say. As soon as Francis finished speaking, he


    stood up and said goodbye to her. Then he strode to the cashier, and after paying the bill, he


    walked out fast as if a wolf were chasing him.


    Not long after Francis left, Tilly entered in a hurry.


    She had dressed herself up - her long hair was blown straight and was pushed back over her ears,


    which made her look like a pretty girl from a decent family. Moreover, she wore delicate makeup.


    After she came in, she looked around and then sat down opposite Wendy.


    "You''re here!" Wendy greeted.


    However, Tilly asked, "Has he gone to the bathroom?"


    Wendy swallowed the food in her mouth and exined, "Francis? Oh, he suddenly left, saying that


    he had something urgent to do. Look, he hasn''t eaten anything yet!"


    "What! Why would he run away every time I came?" Hearing this, Tilly immediately leaned back on


    the sofa.


    Hearing herints, Wendy raised her eyebrows and asked, "Tilly, tell me the truth. That day, I


    asked him to take you home. Did you do anything to him? Why does he avoid you like the gue?"


    "Hum!" Tilly snorted unhappily.


    She looked in the direction of the restroom and the entrance of the restaurant. When she made sure


    that Francis was not here, she looked dispirited, like a deted rubber ball, though she came in with


    a radiant look. Then she pouted and muttered, "We are besties, so I don''t intend to hide it from you.


    I have been pursuing him!"
