Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 435

"How long do I have to stay here?" Helen couldn't wait to say, "Do you know how terrible this place is? The room does not even have sunlight, and the house is all musty, and when you sleep at night, there is the sound of mice!"

From the time of the incident to now, she had made several phone calls in a row, but only a few were answered.

At the end of the line came a slow female voice. "You know it's safer this way."

"You promised me before! As long as I did what you said, you would save my daughter from prison. And you would give us a sum of money and arrange for us to go abroad and never come back again! But now Yolanda is still in jail, and I'm being searched for by the police!" Helen was too miserable these days. Every time when she was in the sun, she would bow her head for fear of being discovered. Ever since the incident, she had stayed in this underground rented house that had been arranged. She had not even taken a bath, and her entire body was covered with a rancid smell. "How dare you mention it to me?" The female voice became cold.

"That's not all my fault!" Hearing the words, Helen did not dare to complain and quickly defended herself. "I didn't know he would suddenly rush over to save her. If it weren't for him, things would have been done long ago. Who would have thought that he is so not afraid of death, simply risked his life to save her..."

"Are you done talking?"

The female voice interrupted Helen, making her angry but not dare to speak out. She shrunk her head and said, "I know I didn't get this done, but I tried my best! You can't go back on your words, can you? Now that things have changed, what should I do next? You won't let me stay here forever. I don't want it. I'm begging you. Hurry up and find a way to save me!"

"What's your rush, just wait." The female voice said impatiently.

How could Helen not rush? The muscles on her face were twitching. "How long will it take? Hello, hello?"

She held the microphone and shouted for a long time, but no one responded to her. Then there was a burst of beep sound.

"How could she hang up the phone?"

Helen muttered angrily, and she was not reconciled to call again.

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open. The man walked in, grabbed the landline in her hand, pulled out the telephone wire, and said, "It's already five minutes!" After that, he turned his head and left.

Helen had to sit back by the bed and opened the take-out meal box. The meal inside was cold and full of the smell of gutter oil. She had no appetite at all. After a few bites, she couldn't swallow at all, but she had to grit her teeth and continue.

After eating and dropping her chopsticks, she fell into contemplation.

The rain continued for two days, and the sky was like a tourmaline.

After Charlie went to the company in the morning, Wendy was also busy. In the morning, she took Larry to take a taekwondo lesson. After lunch, he took Larry to a painting lesson. When the painting class was about to end, the paint plate accidentally knocked over and Larry's clothes covered with paint all over.

After returning to the villa, she took Larry, who was turned into a mess, back to the children's room.

She washed his face clean, found clean clothes, and was about to help him change when Aunt Lee's footsteps came to the door and said that someone had come. Since Charlie was not home, Aunt Lee told her directly that the guest was a man, who was not young.

Wendy handed Larry to Aunt Lee for the time being and went downstairs in confusion.

When she saw the people in the living room, she asked in surprise, "Mr. Gray?"

Kim seemed to have just sat down. Hearing the voice, he stood up. He was still dressed casually. Although he was old, he was still graceful, and his smile was very approachable.

"Sorry, I've come in such a rash way!" "Nah, please take a seat!"

Wendy hurriedly greeted him, because he's a guest after all. She then asked, "What would you like? We have tea and coffee and juice at home!"

"Coffee." Kim said with a smile.

"Then you sit down and wait a minute!" Wendy said, and then turned into the kitchen.

Aunt Lee was taking care of Larry upstairs, so she would do these things. Originally, she wanted to make a cup of soluble coffee, but when she saw the coffee in the container in the morning, then thought of Kim's identity and finally chose to cook on the spot.

Soon enough, Wendy placed the coffee on the table.

Kim thanked her. The aroma of coffee hit his nose, he picked up the cup and took a sip. After tasting the mixed maltose flavor with it, his expression suddenly froze. Something had awakened his taste buds, and even his heart vibrated a few times.

Wendy also noticed his change and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Gray, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Kim hid the emotion in his eyes, shook his head and said with a smile, "The coffee tastes great!"

Wendy also smiled back.

"The reason I came here today is actually to return the book." After putting down the glass, Kim took out a paper bag from his pocket, and when he opened it, there was the novel in German translation. "Ah!" Wendy understood and hurriedly said, "You didn't have to go to all that trouble and come all the way here yourself!"

"No trouble at all! Actually, things that happened when I borrowed the book last time are too unpleasant, I do not feel comfortable asking you out again. Also, I'm afraid of my wife... I might as well just come over and bring it to your house!" Kim paused when he mentioned his wife. He couldn't hide the embarrassment and guilt in his expression.

Wendy nodded and didn't care much about it.

When she saw Kim taking out the novel, stroking the book and the corners of the book with a very reluctant look, she could not help but speak, "Mr. Gray, if you want to continue reading, you can take it back and read it for more days!"

"Well, no matter how many times I read it, it doesn't belong to me!" Kim handed it to her.

"I'm really sorry..." After Wendy took it, she felt a little guilty. "I know you like this novel very much, and now it can't be bought in the shop. But I can't give it to you. It's because this book is also very important to me, and I just can't..."

"Miss Lim, don't think too much. I don't mean anything else!" Seeing this, Kim quickly waved his hand and explained, "It's very difficult to find this original novel in the country. I'm very satisfied to be able to go through it again because of Miss Lim. In fact, it's just a memory!"

He raised his head and saw Wendy sitting opposite him with her head lowered, and her gaze was fixed on the book in her hand.

Kim didn't know if it's because of some mood swings, he was in a trance, and his sight gradually became distant, as if he had seen the young girl in his memory.

He worked hard for a long time to study in Germany, and every day when he faced the complicated German language, she was always beside him quietly. Although she didn't understand anything, she learned it with him. Sometimes, the two of them would discuss some sentences.

After that, he had to study abroad, and could only come back twice a year, and the time he stayed was limited, so the time he spent with her became very little. However, she was not afraid and was willing to wait for him. On the day when he left at the airport, he knew how reluctant he was. He took out a the novel in German translation and left it to her so that she could miss him at the sight of the book. "Kim, why do you sigh?"

The young girl looked up at him with a book in her arms.

He looked down at the beautiful face in front of him and couldn't help moving forward to hold her in his arms. He sighed in her ear and said, "I didn't know what love was until I met you!"

After the girl understood his words, her face suddenly turned red, but soon her eyes were filled with tears.

He had to leave with his luggage as the radio called for boarding. Finally, when he turned his head, he could still see people coming and going at the airport. The young girl held the book in her hands and stood still. Her red eyes and nose showed that she was reluctant to let him leave...

Kim picked up the cup of coffee again.

It was a little cold, and there were not many vapors spraying on his face, but he felt some heat in his eyes. He unconsciously said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't know what love was until I met you!" Wendy was slightly stunned.

"Sorry, my bad!" Kim realized that he had lost his composure and quickly restrained himself. Seeing that she looked straight at him, he smiled apologetically and asked, "Did I scare Miss Lim?" "No..." Wendy shook her head.

With the gesture of lowering her eyes, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Is this a poem? I also like it very much!"

"Yes!" Kim nodded with a smile, and his mood had returned to normal.

Wendy looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "Mr. Gray, may I ask you a favor?"
