Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 545

Tilly hesitated in speaking and blushed, and Wendy was sure that something else must have happened last night. When she heard what she said, Wendy couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Is your mother back?"

"Yes!" Tilly nodded. "She got off the plane early this morning and asked me to invite you to have lunch together!"

If her mother hadn't called her early in the morning, Tilly might have been able to stay longer in that warm embrace. The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. She was afraid of being seen through, so she quickly bowed her head to avoid Wendy's eyes.

Wendy didn't notice it but recalled what she and Charlie had talked about. She simply nodded and said, "Okay!"

She called Charlie, who had already arrived at the airport, and told him this matter. After going upstairs and changing her clothes, she went out of the villa with Tilly.

They went to an Italian restaurant. Since they arrived there a little early, they waited for a while in their seats.

About ten minutes later, a beautiful woman in her fifties walked in from the door. She, wearing a black suit and a pair of sunglasses, looked very elegant and walked in under the guidance of a waiter. "Mom, here!"

Tilly immediately stood up from her seat and accidentally knocked over her glass.

Jazmin quickly walked up to them. She glared at Tilly and scolded with a smile. "You're no longer a child, but you've always been so reckless!"

Tilly smirked and then introduced, holding her mom's arm, "Mom, this is Wendy!"

"How can you call her Wendy? She's your elder cousin, and you should know how to show respect for your elders!" Jazmin scolded Tilly.

"But we're also best friends!" Tilly tilted her head on Wendy's shoulder and asked intimately, "Am I right, Wendy?"

Wendy nodded, feeling a little nervous.

It was her first time to meet Jazmin, so she was a little shy to greet her. To her surprise, Jazmin took the lead to come over to her - she gently put her hands on her belly and said with a smile, "Congratulations..."

Because of this loving touch, Wendy suddenly had a feeling of kinship with this blood-related aunt.

"I heard that it's less than two months old. You should pay more attention to your baby in the early pregnancy!" Jazmin reminded her in a soft voice and gently touched her belly through her clothes. "Thank you!" Wendy said gratefully.

"Wendy, you should call her aunt!" Tilly reminded her aside.

Wendy swallowed nervously and said, "Thank you, aunt..."

Jazmin invited them to sit down with a genuine smile on her face. She seemed to be an easy-going person. "My brother and father have already recognized you as our family member, and I'm also very glad to be your aunt. I've been living abroad for many years so that I may not follow family traditions sometimes. Today, I didn't prepare any gift presented to you at our first meeting, but I'd like to treat you to dinner!" Wendy smiled and nodded. Then, the waiter brought them the menu.

Jazmin, a sensible and kind elder, avoided those dishes that pregnant women could not eat and ordered only nutritious food that was good for Wendy, who was very grateful upon noticing it. Before the starters had been served, Tilly asked, "Mom, you got off the plane early in the morning, but you meet me at noon. Where have you been all this time?"

"As soon as I got off the plane, I took a taxi to the cemetery to see your aunt from the Hogg family." After saying that, Jazmin snorted and continued, "Then, I went straight to the Gray family to get justice for you!"

Tilly's aunt from the Hogg family was certainly Charlie's mother, who had married Gilbert. Wendy learned about this relationship from Charlie. The first thing Jazmin did after returning to the country was to visit her deceased friend. It was enough to show that she valued relationships a lot.

"Have you been to the Gray family's old house?" Tilly asked in a hurry after hearing this.

"Oh, of course not!" Jazmin sneered. "You kept the incident about the rat poison to yourself, but I can't just let it go. Even if we don't have any evidence, I must frighten the mother and daughter. How dare they bully my daughter? How dare they look down on me?"

Tilly saw the look of surprise on Wendy's face and explained, "Didn't I tell you that I had no evidence about the rat poison? In fact, I suspected that Madge was the one who played a trick because I only told her about the matter that day. After that, the laxative was replaced by rat poison. Unfortunately, I have no evidence about that!"

"Mom, it's good for you to help me vent my anger!" In the end, she said to Jazmin.

After hearing it, Wendy was quite surprised.

She was not surprised about this thing. Instead, it didn't occur to her that she happened to think the same as what Tilly said - she always felt that this thing had something to do with Madge. Now it turned out that they had the same view.

Then the waiters served the starters and the main dishes one after another.

Wendy rolled up some pasta with a fork, chewed it for some time, and swallowed it. After a pause, she slowly asked, "Aunt, are you familiar with Linda?"

"Um, when we just graduated from college, we had been workmates. But we drifted a little apart after she married your father. Later, I took Tilly to England, and we barely contact each other!" Jazmin nodded and began to recall. "To be honest, it is largely because of me that she could marry my brother. At that time, she often came to me and we would go to work together. Since she came to my home frequently, she got to know my brother. More than once, Linda told me in private that she liked him. She even secretly placed many gifts into his room!11

"Then how much do you know about my father and her, my mother?" Wendy asked, pursing her lips.

Perhaps, it was because her question came abruptly, Jazmin was slightly startled and lost hold of the fork in her hand. It dropped onto the ground with a crisp sound. The waiter next to them quickly went forward, picked up the fork, and gave her a new set.

Tilly asked in confusion, "Mom, are you all right? Are you a little tired after the long flight?"

"I'm fine!" Jazmin realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly waved her hand to deny it and took the new set of tableware. When she saw that Wendy on the opposite side was looking at her, she forced a smile and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have seen your mother."

"Really?" Wendy asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Jazmin nodded and laughed as if she had thought of something interesting. "I was also a student at that time, and my big brother was studying abroad. When he came back on holiday, he would always talk about a girl named Aubree. Every time he mentioned her, he was delighted, saying that he would marry her and give birth to enough children to make up a football team! I said he was shameless to say that!"

"After he returned home, he took me to see your mother once. Especially shy she was that she always hid behind him and talked in a mild tone. I deliberately called her sister-in-law, and since then, her face had always been red!"
