Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 505

The two of them went back to the Land Rover. When Charlie started the engine, he felt especially happy, so that he opened the radio to listen to some music.

Wendy looked at the faint smile suggested by the corners of his lips and licked her tongue. "Charlie, you're really a bad guy!"

"Beautiful women love only the bad guys," Charlie said, his face neither turning red nor panting.

"..." Wendy was then speechless.

When Charlie began turning the steering wheel, he glanced at her and said, "Call Aunt Lee and tell her to prepare the meal for us. Well arrive home in about half an hour."

"Go back home for dinner?" Wendy was surprised. She blinked her eyes and said, "Why did you invite Mr. Wallace to have dinner outside just now? I know you did it on purpose!"

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no car ahead or behind theirs, Charlie stretched out his arms suddenly and held her into his arms. Biting her lips, he kissed her passionately and aggressively, declaring, "You're mine!"

He kissed Wendy in such a manner until she was out of breath.

When she was let go, Wendy raised her eyes and looked out of the windshield. As expected, she just saw that in the opposite parking space, Francis's chestnut-brown Audi A8 was slowly driving out of the parking lot and colliding with the Land Rover's head.

Thinking of the two cousins of the Gray family, Wendy made up her mind adamantly.

"Forget all about it! I'll torture the poor 'single dog' to the end!"

She placed her hand on his chest and raised her head to kiss his thin lips. Imitating his overbearing tone, she exclaimed, "Charlie, you're also mine!"

Then, the passions turned into a deeper kiss. They did not let go of each other until a lot of cars were blocked behind them and horns were blaring angrily.

After receiving a phone call from Eduardo Gray, Wendy was very surprised.

After Uncle Lee drove her to the old residence of the Gray family, Wendy got out of the car. Under the old locust tree in the courtyard, a servant with a kettle of water in her hand came over and said, "Miss Wendy, the old master is in the study. He said that you should go directly to meet him!"

"Okay, thank you!"

After she nodded and thanked the servant, Wendy entered the villa.

When Wendy visited here before, Kim Gray had once taken her to the study, so it was not difficult for her to find it on the basis of her memory. The door of the room was not closed. Just like last time, Eduardo was wearing a bluish gray long robe and standing in front of the writing desk, on which a chessboard was placed.

Last time, the old master was playing Chinese Weiqi. This time, he was playing Chinese Chess.

Wendy walked into the study and whispered, "Grandpa..."

This time, the old master did not deliberately greet her. His eyes were still fixed on the chess board, but it was obvious that he did not want to be distracted by Wendy. He simply raised his hand and motioned for her to sit down. "Well, take a seat first!"

As Eduardo was still standing, Wendy felt that it would be inappropriate for her to sit down directly. She stood in front of the desk with her hands clasped behind her back. Although they were still not very close to each other at the moment, as a junior, she still had to show her respect to the old master.

Eduardo was very concentrated on chess playing. Wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, he had not blinked for a long time, as he was reflecting upon how to win the chess game played all by himself. When he picked up a "Chariot", Wendy could not help but interrupt, "It's better to use the 'Horse'!"

She immediately regretted it. As the saying went, "A real gentleman should say nothing of chess playing when he watches others play chess". She might have made a foolish mistake that she should not have made, even if the old master was simply playing chess with himself.

However, Eduardo was not annoyed by that. According to what Wendy had suggested, he picked up the 'Horse'. After that, he looked up and asked her, "Do you know how to play chess?" "Well...A little bit." Wendy said in slight shyness.

"Come over here. Let me see your chess- playing level!" After hearing Wendy's words, Eduardo immediately said.

Wendy did not refuse him. She rearranged all the chess pieces on the chessboard.

Eduardo chose the black side, and Wendy would be the red side. According to rules of Chinese Chess, Wendy was to start the game first. She moved the "Cannon" as the first step. After a few steps, her "Cannons" and "Horses" seemed to have posed a threat to the old master on the chessboard. Eduardo was slightly amazed by Wendy's chess- playing skills, and then smiled to her. "You are a modest girl. This is not just 'a little bit'. I think your chess-playing skills are quite good. You can barely play with me, then."

"..." Wendy did not know how to reply to the old master's self-confidence.

Was this a compliment for her, or for himself?

What she did not know was that the old master's favorite hobby in his life was playing chess. Since his health declined, he had been staying overseas for health preservation for many years, which bored him so much that he had even taught the foreign nanny to play chess with him.

As the saying went, "Old ginger is hotter than new ones". It was impossible for Wendy to win the game with the old master, who had been fond of playing chess for almost his whole life. In the end, she lost the game without any chance of winning.

Looking at the chessboard, Eduardo asked with a smile, "Wendy, have you learned professional chess playing before?"

In the process of chess playing just now, the old master had noticed that Wendy was very good at playing chess and did not seem to be a novice. Although he won in the end, there was only a few black chess pieces left on his side.

"No..." Wendy shook her head.

Touching the chess piece in her hand, she explained in a low voice, "My mother passed away when I was only eight. My adoptive father married someone else, and then gave birth to a younger sister. For this reason, I was dismissed from the Lim family, and since then had been living with my grandmother. My grandmother was poor. I did not have any toys or dolls, so I often went to my neighbor's house to see her play chess. She was also an old woman. I just learned a little by watching her play Chinese Chess..."

Eduardo was stunned when he heard this, and his eye expressions gradually became more and more complicated.

Although Wendy said it very casually, and even deliberately avoided to mention the sufferings she had gone through during the first half of the story, it could still be deduced that she was not leading a happy life at that time. At least, she was not happy when she was a child. As an eight-year-old child, she was supposed to be more carefree...

With a sigh, the old master comforted her in a very pitiful tone, "Kid, you've suffered a lot!"

Wendy just smiled and did not mention further about her sufferings.

Eduardo waved at her and asked her to sit down on the Chinese-style chair next to him. He slowly said, "Thank you very much for the liver donation you did to Kim!"

One's body was given to him/her by the parents. Perhaps from the perspective of human relations, it was reasonable for everyone to make the decision to donate part of his/ her liver to his/ her father. However, there were also people who were unwilling to do so, because of fear and selfishness. Wendy had never experienced anything like paternal love in the past. It would be reasonable for her to reject the suggestion of liver donation, but she did not.

"He is my father. I can't see him die without doing anything," Wendy said in a low voice.

She really did not think too much at the beginning. Maybe it was because of the relationship that "blood was thicker than water".

Eduardo nodded with gratification. He stretched out his hands across the table in the middle and took Wendy's hands. He then paused and said, "In fact, I almost saw your biological mother back then! Not long after Kim returned home from Germany upon completion of his overseas study, he took the initiative to confess to me. He said that he wanted to get married to a girl other than Linda, his fiancee. He believed that this new girlfriend was a soul mate for him. At that time, the family had actually started arranging for the marriage between he and Linda. We were simply waiting for him to come back from the overseas study program, and planned to hold the wedding ceremony for him after that! But I still agreed to meet with him and his new girlfriend. I also intended to allow him and his new girlfriend to get married if ever I could observe true love between them. Unexpectedly, they finally broke up with each other. Kim was upset for a long time, and he married Linda in the end."

Wendy was a little stunned. She did not expect that the old master would mention her mother, that he also know her mother's existence.
