Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 546
The scene happened many years ago but still lingered in her mind. Jazmin described it to them, her eyes distant. Somehow, an indescribable
complex expression gradually emerged on her face, but she quickly lowered her head. When she looked up again, the look vanished. Her tone became slightly grave. "He mentioned Aubree to us back then. However, dad disapproved of their relationship at first. At that time, Linda frequently visited our home. For the sake of the family, dad preferred Linda. However, my brother was very stubborn and insisted on marrying Aubree. Later on, dad gradually gave in a little..."
Jazmin paused for a moment and then continued, "However, they abruptly broke up. After that, my brother had been in low spirits for a long period and married Linda in the end. That's all I know about them." "It sounds like a sad and beautiful love story."
Tilly sighed with mixed emotions. She listened as attentively as Wendy, finding herself absorbed by it.
Then she turned to Wendy and asked in puzzlement, "I just don't understand one thing: since your mom was pregnant with you, why would she break up with my uncle? She no longer loved him, so why would she give birth to you and marry someone else? She should instead decide to have an abortion!"
"I feel puzzled about it too..." Wendy said, twitching her mouth.
Neither she nor even her father could not figure out the reason.
After all, love is always complicated. She was not a witness to their relationship, so she did not know how her mother made her choices. Although she and Charlie were a happy and sweet couple now, they had been separated for four years. They were lucky to be reunited after all those hardships and troubles.
However, her mother and Kim were an unfortunate couple. After they separated, both of them were married, to somebody else. Therefore, no matter how deeply they loved each other, they had no choice but to hide the love at the bottom of their hearts. When they met, they were like strangers. Now, they were separated by death. The only thing left between them was endless lovesickness.
Tilly held her chin and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, was it possible that my aunt, a friendly-looking villain, sabotaged their relationship? It's a universal trick in TV play when a wicked woman wants to take a man away from his girlfriend or wife, isn't it?"
Jazmin was startled once again, and then she raised her hand to tap Tilly's head, amused and annoyed. She criticized with a bitter smile, "What do you know about it? Don't talk nonsense! You should study more instead of watching those romantic dramas!"
"Come on, mom, I have got my master's degree in business, but you still regard me as a little child!" Tilly pouted in displeasure. She rubbed her head and shouted, "Besides, what I see are all US TV series, in which there are many wicked women with destructive power!"
Jazmin looked at her daughter with a helpless smile and did not continue this topic. Instead, she cut off the tenderest part of the beef that had not been touched in her plate and placed it on Wendy's plate. "Eat it, or it will turn cold soon! Wendy, you should eat more. You have a baby in your belly!"
"Well, thank you, aunt..." Wendy thanked her.
After that, the atmosphere of this lunch became warm and relaxed when they changed to talk about the interesting things that Jazmin and Tilly had experienced during the years when they lived abroad. Charlie called Wendy when they were halfway through the meal. When she finished the meal and walked out of the restaurant, she saw his white Land Rover on the opposite side of the street. Parking outside of the restaurant must not be allowed here, so Charlie parked his car there.
He didn't seem to have just arrived. He must have waited there for quite a while.
As soon as he saw her come out, he immediately jumped out of the driver's seat.
He waved, telling her to wait on the spot. While he strode across the zebra crossing, he became the center of attraction in the crowd. After all, his tall figure was particularly eyecatching.
As Jazmin saw him from afar, she teased, "He is so concerned about you! Is he afraid that I, your blood-related aunt, will eat you?"
"Uh, he just came back from the airport after sending his clients away..." Wendy explained shyly.
Jazmin smiled and then looked at Tilly, who was next to her. She pointed at Charlie and said, "Hey, see? Your brother Charlie has never landed his eyes on you, so you'd better stop thinking about him! You hurried back merely upon receiving a call from Madge. Humph, I knew she was up to something
bad!"
Her husband passed away very early, and she brought up Tilly on her own. So she had a close relationship with her daughter and knew her very well-she always knew what was in Tilly's mind.
Fearing that Tilly's affection for Charlie would hurt her, she said earnestly, "Charlie doesn't love you. It's stupid to stick to him! Go to the UK with me. There are many handsome foreign guys on the streets of London!"
"Mom, I won't go!" Tilly could neither cry nor laugh.
"Why not?" Jazmin frowned.
Tilly stomped her feet helplessly and blurted out, "I told you I gave him up long ago. I like someone else now! He's from Hong Kong, three years older than me. Now he lives in Ice city. We only just met. He's as pretty as those handsome foreigners!"
"From Hong Kong?" Jazmin was surprised and immediately asked, "Which hotel he lives in? Take me there now!"
"Mom..." Tilly began to panic.
Jazmin ignored her daughter's plea and dragged her directly to a taxi that stopped at the roadside.
In passing, she nodded to Charlie, who just came over. Charlie's mother passed away early and they had few chances to meet each other. Nevertheless, they were connected, so it was unnecessary for them to stand on ceremony. Jazmin got into the back seat with Tilly and closed the door.
Wendy tut-tutted while watching the taxi went away-she was really worried about Francis now!
Charlie took Wendy into his arms. They crossed the road and got into his car.
When he fastened the seat belt for her, he touched her belly by the way, as usual. His deep eyes were full of expectation and joy because of their baby.
As he drove, Charlie looked at her sideways and asked, "How is your dinner?"
Wendy's impression of Jazmin was not bad. In fact, she even felt a sense of kinship with her. Perhaps because of Tilly or their blood relations, she felt no pressure and quite relaxed around her. Knowing what he wanted to talk about, she gently shook her head and said, "I just learned a little. We didn't talk much about it."
Hearing this, Charlie nodded his head.
While waiting for the green light, he glanced at her and found that she was at a loss. Thus, he put his hand on hers and asked with concern. "Wendy, what's wrong?"
Wendy turned her head sideways to look at him. After thinking for two seconds, she pursed her lips and said, "I just think that my aunt seemed to have kept something from me...
