Chapter 576


    Wendy gently pulled his arm and said, "Charlie, don''t..."


    How could hepete with his little son for this?


    Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Charlie stood up and strode out of Larry''s room, a little


    depressed.


    Gazing at his receding figure, Wendy could not help but bite his lips. It was just that this night had a


    special meaning for her. She wanted to stay and apany Larry, so Charlie had to sleep alone no


    matter how aggrieved he felt.


    Larry slept soundly with his small mouth slightly open. Now that he got his mother back, Larry must


    be thrilled, for he kept smiling even when he was asleep.


    Wendy watched her with a big smile, wiping the sweat on his forehead from time to time.


    When she took off her slippers and was about to lie down next to Larry, the door was suddenly


    pushed open. Once again, Charlie''s tall figure walked in. He put down the quilt and pillow in his


    arms and made the bed silently.


    Wendy opened her mouth in surprise and then burst outughing.


    She thought he was unhappy and left, but it turned out that he went back to their room to take the


    quilt.


    Charlie''s eyes swept over his sleeping son''s face. He snorted and waved to her. "Wendy, I get


    something to show you."


    "What''s that?" Wendy walked around the end of the bed, slowly and curiously.


    Charlie pulled her to sit down next to him. Then he took out a paper bag from behind and opened it.


    There was an agreement with a duplicate copy.


    Wendy took one and browsed its pages. When she understood what it was, she opened her eyes


    wide in shock and looked at him, "Well, Charlie..."


    "If there''s nothing that you don''t understand, sign it." Charlie took out a ck pen and said, pointing


    to a nk space on thest page. He pursed his lips and exined, "This agreement includes all


    my property at home and abroad, including the circting shares and funds, as well as all the


    shares that I have earned over the past few years since I took over the Hogg''s Group. After you


    sign it, all of these will be yours. That means I will work for you from now on!"


    "Charlie..." Wendy muttered.


    Of course, she knew what this agreement represented. Everything, including all the property that he


    had got so far, was written in detail. Just as he said, as long as she signed it, all of this would be


    hers after marrying him.


    "When did you prepare it?"


    Charlie curled his lips and said, "I''ve prepared it long ago and nned to show you when we''re


    going to get the marriage certificate!"


    Wendy repeatedly shook her head. "... I can''t sign it!"


    In the beginning, they made a deal of money, but she decided to date him four years ago only


    because his domineering manner attracted her. She had never thought of getting anything from him.


    Charlie had given her a ck card, but she had only used it twice in so many years.


    "You have to sign it." How could Charlie not know what she was thinking about? He held her hand,


    his deep and affectionate eyes gazing into hers. "This is what I''m willing to do. Wendy, I want to


    grow old with you. If I betray you, I deserve to be deprived of everything!"


    Being stared at by him for dozens of seconds, Wendy could understand his persistence.


    Then Wendy decided to ept his kindness, the most practical and reliable promise a man could


    give to a woman. After some hesitation, she took the pen and signed her name with sure strokes.


    Wendy had never cared so much about money. Johnny had transferred all the overseas property


    that he had earned to her, and she was totally bewildered. Now that Charlie also gave his assets to


    her, Wendy swallowed hard, feeling the thrill of making a great fortune overnight.


    She blinked her eyes and deliberately asked, "Charlie, you gave me all the things you had, but


    aren''t you afraid that I''ll run away from you in the future?"


    Charlie curled his lips into a smile.


    Four years ago, when he gave her the ck card, she had the same reaction. Like today, her eyes


    looked clear without any lust for money. Although she did not ask him in such a direct way.


    Charlie kissed her to stop her from talking and said in an assured voice, "I won''t give you a chance


    to escape from me!"


    The next day, after breakfast, they went out early.


    As usual, they first sent Larry to kindergarten. A lot of cars were parked at the door of the


    kindergarten. From time to time, some parents would walk over in sunshine with their children, hand


    in hand. The crisp children''s voices filled the busy streets.


    As they walked up a smiling teacher, Wendy let go of Larry''s hand and watched him jumping toward


    her.


    Larry slightly shook his little hand, which was held by his teacher, and said, "Miss, I have something


    to tell you!"


    "What''s it, Larry?"


    Larry turned around and pointed at Wendy, who was standing by the door beside Charlie. His face


    was red, and he was a little shy, but he announced with a crisp and loud sound as if he wanted to


    tell the world, "I have a mom now."

    Wendy, standing in the wind, heard him and happily raised the corner of her mouth.


    After seeing Larry walk into the pink building, she and Charlie got back to the car. However, they


    were not in a hurry to go to work because there was something more important to do!


    Charlie fastened her seatbelt and fixed his gaze on her. "We''re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau


    now!"


    "Yes!" Wendy nodded her head in embarrassment.


    Perhaps, God knew their excitement and expectation, so their car went on without a traffic jam and


    met only a few red lights druing the morning peak. Not long after, they saw the Civil Affairs Bureau


    appeared in their sight.


    Were they going to be husband and wife?


    Wendy spread out her palms and found that they were soaked with sweat.


    Her heart was beating faster. She felt nervous and expectant at the same time. From now on, she


    would be Mrs. Hogg, Charlie''s wife...


    The white Land Rover stopped in the parking lot. On the steps, many couples walked in and out one


    after another, all of whom were smiling brilliantly. The cheerful scene delighted them.


    Charlie squinted at her and said, "Wendy, let''s go!"


    Wendy even forgot to say anything this time. She just nodded stupidly, like a chicken pecking at


    rice.


    They strode into the hall, hand in hand. Wendy would take a deep breath with every step up.


    Quietly, she looked sideways at Charlie''s angr face, thinking that he looked much calmer than


    her.


    For the majority of people, they would only be here once in their lives. Inside the building, there


    were quite a few people inside. The sharp- eyed Charlie saw a vacant room without anyone waiting


    outside, so he quickly went there with her and handed over the bag of prepared files to the staff.


    The staff frowned a little but said nothing when he saw Charlie, imposing and domineering.


    After opening the bag and checked the files, he frowned again and threw it back to them. "Sorry, I


    can''t do it!"
