Chapter 584


    Ewan put the cigarette and lighter into his pocket and walked toward Wendy as well.


    Wendy blinked in surprise and asked, "When did youe back? Why didn''t youe in?"


    "There was no need."


    For the questions she asked in session, Ewan only answered thest one.


    Although they hadn''t held the wedding ceremony yet, Wendy and Charlie had registered for


    marriage some time ago. Nominally, they were already married, and she was a member of the Hogg


    family now. In other words, Ewan was kind of like her younger brother.


    In fact, she still felt shy about the change of the rtionship between them.


    Since Charlie was suspected of amercial crime, Ewan had shouldered all the responsibility. It


    had been a long time since Wendyst saw him. He seemed to have lost some weight, and he


    looked a little serious at the moment.


    Inexplicably, Wendy had a bad foreboding.


    Ewan said hesitantly, "Wendy, in fact, I sneaked back this time!"


    "Sneak?" Wendy was stunned by the word.


    "Yes." Ewan slowly nodded and continued in a hesitant tone, "Not only me, but also Madge..."


    Wendy widened her eyes in shock and asked uncertainly, "You mean Madge is not abroad now?"


    Ewan nodded once more, confirming her words.


    Wendy was speechless and swallowed her throat.


    She thought of the familiar figure she saw opposite the wedding dress shop. If Madge had really


    come back, then the figure Wendy saw that day should be her.


    Ewan continued, "Ever since Uncle Gray sent Madge out of the country, he has been determined


    not to let here back, and I have been thinking about nothing but living with her there. A few


    days ago, she told me that her mother was going to be sentenced, and she wanted to see her


    before the sentence. She begged me for help, and I was softhearted that I agreed. I used some


    connections to take her back in disguise. Now her grandparents know nothing about it!".


    No wonder that...


    When Wendy and Kim talked about them, thetter had called to seek confirmation and was told


    that Madge was abroad with Ewan. Wendy didn''t expect that they had sneaked back!


    "Then why did youe and tell me this?"


    Since he wanted to cover Madge, he should keep their whereabouts a secret and should never tell


    Wendy about it.


    On hearing Wendy''s question, Ewan showed aplicated look on his face. "After we returned to


    Ice city, Madge disappeared. I have almost searched every corner of the city but still failed to find


    her. I think she is hiding from me on purpose. I don''t why she did this..."


    "Ever since she was sent abroad by Uncle Gray, she hardly went out. She stayed in her room all


    day long and even refused to eat sometimes. I had to soothe her to let her talk to me. She was


    more depressed than before and I think she came back this time with some special purposes. So I


    think I should keep you informed of this."


    Wendy clenched her hands that hung beside her body as she replied, "Okay, I know..."


    Her intuition told her that the dead mice hidden in her wedding dress and the prank calls must have


    something to do with Madge...


    There were footstepsing from behind her. Charlie''s tall figure appeared beside her.


    "Aunt Lee told me that Ewan is here?"


    Wendy nodded and pointed to the direction in which Ewan had just left, replying, "Yes, he just left..."


    She told him the news brought by Ewan and what she thought about it. Charlie frowned and put his


    arm around her shoulder. "You don''t have to pay attention to it. If it was really her who did this, I


    think she was just trying to disgust us. She is like a clown now! I''ll call your father and talk about it


    with himter!"


    "Okay..." her lips curled into a smile.


    Because of the dead mice wrapped in her wedding dress, she had to customize a new one.


    Fortunately, the staff of the wedding dress shop was very efficient. They told her two days earlier


    than she had expected that they had made her a new dress. Because of the pranks, Charlie drove


    her to the shop personally this time.


    As requested by Wendy, not all the staff in the shop came to serve them this time. After all, they


    came just to take their dress. There was no need to have all the staff serve them and have their


    business influenced.


    As the store manager had already prepared everything in advance, it didn''t take them long to get


    their dress.


    When they were about to leave the wedding dress shop, Wendy proposed to go to the bathroom,


    while Charlie sat on the sofa and waited for her patiently.


    When Wendy came out of the bathroom, she found that there was a young girl sitting next to


    Charlie. The girl was wearing avender small dress, seeming to be a bridesmaid with a bride who


    was trying her wedding dress there. She looked very young and beautiful and seemed to be in


    college.

    Perhaps because Charlie was alone at that moment, she thought that he was a groomsman and


    then came up to strike up a conversation with him.


    Wendy shook the water drops off her hands and did not panic when she saw the girl. Instead, she


    recalled what Charlie had told her —take every step with care.


    Even though the young girl was staring at Charlie closely with passion in her eyes, Wendy would


    not think too much about it. She trusted her husband almost unconditionally.


    As she expected, before she got close, Charlie pointed in her direction and said something. Then,


    the young girl looked disappointed. She got up and walked away quickly.


    Wendy went straight to Charlie, who reached out his hand to hold her waist. With a hint of sweet


    curiosity in her heart, she couldn''t help looking up at him charmingly and asking, "Honey, what did


    you say to that girl?"


    She knew that Charlie would handle the situation very well.


    However, since she had seen him point at her and say something to that girl, she was very curious


    about what he had said. She guessed that he might have praised her or told the girl what he felt


    about her, just like what she did behind his back. Thus, she wanted him to repeat the words even


    more.


    Charlie smiled faintly and said, "She asked me for my phone number, but I didn''t give it to her."


    "That''s all?" Wendy blinked her eyes.


    Charlie lowered his head and looked at her while replying in azy tone, "Hmm. I also told her that


    I''m married and I''m henpecked."


    Wendy was dumbfounded.


    She thought it was some kind of sweet words, and she didn''t expect it to be so straightforward.


    Embarrassed and annoyed, she raised her hand and hit him on the chest with her clenched fist.


    Wendy had little strength, so she was just pretending and wouldn''t hit him with much strength.


    Besides, he had strong muscles, so only she would feel pain if she hit him.


    The young girl, who had not gone far, looked back and happened to see the scene. She looked at


    Wendy with a horrified look as if she were looking at a tigress.


    Hand on her forehead, Wendy realized that her just action confirmed Charlie''s words that he was


    henpecked.
