Chapter 573


    Seeing his tensed expression, Wendy couldn''t help butugh and nod. "Okay!"


    They held hands and entered the vi. Little Larry had been taken over for a while, and there were a


    lot of snacks on the tea table. At this time, his little figure was drowning in the sea of toys. Gilbert,


    who was standing next to him, showed a rare loving smile on his prim face.


    After hearing the servant''s report and seeing the two of them walking in, Gilbert stood up from the


    sofa.


    Gilbert''s gaze swept passed them before finally stopping on Wendy.


    "You,e upstairs with me!"


    After saying this seriously, Gilbert took the lead and walked out of the living room.


    Charlie frowned at his father''s words. "Dad!"


    "Grandpa!" Even Larry stopped ying with his toys.


    Gilbert saw that both his son and grandson were looking at him vigntly. He was furious and asked


    angrily, "Why are you looking at me? I can''t eat her!"


    He felt a little embarrassed. He stared at Wendy and asked, "Are youing or not?"


    Wendy felt embarrassed. She tugged at Charlie, who was about to speak, and said softly, "It doesn''t


    matter. I''lle down soon." "Wendy, if there''s anything you need, just call me!" Charlie was finally


    unable to change her mind.


    "You should also call baby!" Larry chimed in.


    Seeing their worries as if he was a vicious scorpion, Gilbert''s chest was almost suffocated. Out of


    sight,out of mind.He simply took the lead in striding upstairs with his hands sped behind his back.


    In the study, Gilbert and Wendy sat across from each other at the desk.

    They were speechless for a time. Wendy put her hands on her knees. She didn''t know how to


    speak, so she could only wait with her mouth closed.


    About two minutester, Gilbert cleared his throat and broke the silence. "I''m sorry about the things


    that happened to Larry four years ago. Today I called you up. I also want to apologize to you again.


    I''m sorry!"


    "Chairman Hogg..." Wendy was taken aback.


    Unexpectedly, he suddenly brought up the past again. Although Gilbert had apologized to her and


    even bowed a lot when they were in the hospital, he didn''t really mean it at that time. She didn''t feel


    as solemn and sincere as she was now. She could feel his apology from every word he said.


    "At that time, I thought you were going abroad with another man, so I wanted to take back Larry. I


    felt a little guilty in my heart. In order to avoid future trouble, I was afraid that you might threaten me


    with Larry in the future. Now, I''m really ashamed to have done such a thing and made you and Larry


    separate for four years!" Gilbert paused and said embarrassingly, "I sincerely hope that you can


    forgive me!"


    Wendy''s mouth slowly puckered up. She didn''t make a sound immediately. After a few seconds of


    silence, she raised her head and whispered, "Chairman Hogg, you''re the father of Charlie, and I


    love him!"


    Hearing what she said, Gilbert was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood


    what she meant.


    Perhaps she couldn''t forgive him in her heart. After all, the pain of separating mother and son was


    real. However, she loved Charlie very much, and naturally, she loved Charlie''s father. So, she would


    choose to forget this matter and respect this elder.


    With a touched expression on his face, Gilbert sighed and said with emotion, "Miss Lim, you''re a


    good girl. I was too stubborn before!"


    Wendy was overwhelmed by Gilbert''s praise.


    Gilbert lowered his head and pulled open the drawer. He took out a box, which seemed to have


    been prepared long ago. He ced it directly on the desk and pushed it to her. "Take this."


    "This is..." Wendy was confused.


    "This is left by Charlie''s mother." When it came to his deceased wife, Gilbert''s expression softened


    a little. "When she was pregnant, it was found out that it was a boy. She was so happy that she had


    prepared this for a long time. She said that she was waiting for Charlie to grow up and get married.


    She said that she would give it to her daughter-inw and let her continue to be passed on


    generation by generation..."


    It was not difficult to see that even though Gilbert had married another womanter, he still had a


    deep feeling for her deceased ex-wife.


    The box was made of rosewood, and the patterns on it were all carefully carved. When Wendy


    opened the box, she saw a piece of red velvet cloth inside. There was a jade bracelet lying inside,


    which was crystal clear and looked very valuable.


    Wendy, who had just picked up the bracelet, suddenly felt heavy after hearing its origin.


    Recalling what he said just now, she suddenly thought of something. She looked up in surprise and


    asked uncertainly, "Chairman Hogg, do you agree with us?"


    "Yes." Gilbert unnaturally coughed.


    "Thank you!" Wendy said sincerely. She couldn''t help but feel a sense of happiness welling up in


    her heart.


    Just like what she had said just now, Gilbert was Charlie''s father. Even if their rtionship was stiff,


    Gilbert was still the person he cared about in Charlie''s heart. She hoped that they two could get


    Gilbert''s approval and blessings.


    Gilbert looked a little embarrassed. His grave face looked awkward. He said deliberately as if he


    was covering something, "Keep the bracelet. If it is damaged or lost, l"ll punish you!"


    "..." Wendy was shocked and nearly failed to hold the box.


    Gilbert looked at her carefully holding the box with both hands. He couldn''t help butugh, but he


    still had to keep a straight face.


    Wendy closed the box again and said seriously, "Chairman Hogg, don''t worry. I''ll wear it carefully!"


    "You still call me Chairman Hogg?" Gilbert said unhappily.


    Wendy was stunned. She quickly changed, "Uncle Hogg..."


    "Yes." Gilbert nodded. He looked down from her face and nced at her belly. However, he still


    couldn''t help asking, "I heard that you are pregnant again?"


    "Yes..." Wendy''s white face turned slightly red.


    "Boy or girl?"


    Although Charlie had always emphasized that he knew his own seed, in the face of Gilbert, Wendy


    still did not dare to affirm carelessly. She said cautiously, "It''s been more than three months now. I


    don''t know. It will be found out in a few days..."


    "Very well." Gilbert nodded. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "I like girls too!"


    Wendy:


    She couldn''t help butugh. Sure enough, father and son, even in this respect they are very much


    the same...


    All three of them, old and young, were looking forward to having a girl. She''s really under a lot of


    pressure!


    Gilbert raised his hand, pointed at the closed door and said, "Get out of here. Otherwise, if you stay


    here for another two minutes, Charlie will be impatient enough to break in!"


    Wendy was stunned for a moment and went to the door of the study obediently.


    She pulled her hand to open the door. As Gilbert expected, she saw Charlie standing outside with a


    hand in his pocket and frowned. It seemed that he might break in at anytime. She just looked into


    his deep eyes.
