Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 549

Wendy touched her belly and nodded.

Charlie no longer frowned. He walked over and sat down beside her. With his arm naturally placed around her shoulder, he began to chat with Kim. Soon after, Aunt Lee in the kitchen announced that the meal was ready.

Because of Kim, she added a few more dishes. The darkness was falling, and the dining room was full of a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

When Wendy saw the tea brought by Aunt Lee after dinner, she couldn't help getting up and saying, "Dad, you like coffee. Let me make a cup for you!"

"I'll go cook!" Charlie pressed down on her shoulder and stopped her.

"But dad likes the coffee I make..." Wendy frowned.

Charlie tightened his arm on her shoulder, pursed his lips, and said, "It's okay. Just tell me how to cook. You're pregnant now. The doctor said you should be very careful during the first three months of pregnancy!" Wendy raised her head and looked at him, fully aware that he was jealous again.

The doctor's advice sounded more like an excuse. The truth was that he had asked her not to make coffee for any other men except for him!

Wendy, amused, nodded in compromise. "Alright, then I'll tell you the method..."

The restaurant and kitchen were connected, so they could see each other. It was such a wonderful scene under the warm yellow light!

His future son-in-law was grinding coffee beans in the kitchen, while opposite him was his daughter, Wendy, who was gazing at Charlie's tall figure. Kim looked at them and remembered a woman whose eyes followed him wherever he went.

When he came to himself from the memory of the past, Kim watched his daughter, whose face looked like her mother's, and fell into a trance-it seemed the young girl he loved 20 years ago was alive again and appeared right in front of him...

Perhaps it was because of his mood swings, Kim couldn't help saying, "I've been reading the novel translated from German and often remember how your mother cooked coffee for me! In the beginning, she knew nothing about it, so she had to learn from books and made progress little by little."

"However, the destiny makes fools of the people. Though we loved each other, we had no fate at all—we couldn't stay together with each other! Actually, we got a chance to reunite. If it was seized, the three of us might never have been separated for so many years."

Upon seeing Wendy's confused and surprised expression, he slowly explained, "After getting married to Linda, I spent most of the time on my business trips in Germany. When you were about eight years old, I met your mother again! In fact, I thought that we could only treat each other like strangers when we meet again. Even if I could not forget her, I could only bury this relationship deep in my heart."

"If she was very happy, then I could only wish her well, but I saw that her life was not very good. She looked very thin and haggard, so I got all the repressed feelings out of me. At that time, she seemed to be very excited too, and there were tears in her eyes. I just broke down and wanted to take her away! However, she didn't say yes immediately. Instead, she said that she would think about it... Before I got her reply, I received the news of her death."

A trace of surprise flashed across Wendy's heart, for she didn't expect that there would be such a past between them.

She swallowed hard and then slowly asked, "Dad, at that time, you wanted to be with mom again, but did Mrs. Gray know about it?"

"Yes." Kim nodded.

He had only one woman in his heart all those years. For him, the marriage without Aubree had nothing to do with love. When all his deep-hidden emotions broke out again, he felt he should no longer hide it from his wife. Since he had a feeling of guilt, he chose to tell Linda the whole thing.

Kim sighed and said, "I asked for a divorce and had drawn up a divorce agreement."

Wendy could figure out what happened later on. Because of Aubree's sudden death, all her father's rekindled enthusiasm and hope came to nothing. The divorce was left in abeyance as if nothing had happened. After all, Kim and Linda still had a daughter, Madge.

However, Kim, who ultimately lost his beloved, was as dead as dying embers. He had lost all his enthusiasm in love and continued his empty marriage. In others' eyes, they were a couple who always treated each other with much respect for many years.

"..." Wendy dropped her eyes and gradually clenched her fists.

After finishing listening to his narration, she remembered the words that Tilly blurted out when they were having lunch at the restaurant yesterday and the thing that Helen told her in the police station...

The night in the north was that hot as it was in the day. The cool evening wind brushing past her hair made her very comfortable.

Wendy and Charlie walked out of the yard with Kim and saw him off on the car. Until the car's taillights were out of their sight, they withdraw their eyes.

Charlie gently wiped off the hair that stuck to her mouth by his finger and held him closer.

"Wendy, let's go in!"

"Um..."

Wendy nodded, but didn't move.

Charlie looked down at her and saw and pursed lips. Knowing what she was thinking, he frowned.

He held her hand firmly. She looked up at him, gritting her teeth in anger, "If Mrs. Gray was responsible for my mother's death, I'll get justice for her!" she said, word by word.

As she said these words, her eyelashes, her mouth corners, and her voice were trembling.

"Don't worry; I'll do it too!" Charlie's heart ached when he saw her like this and kissed her eyelashes.

The day after tomorrow was Sunday so that they could enjoy another day at home. For Wendy, she treasured her free time more after she got a job.

Larry leaned on her side like a little puppy. He must have kept Charlie's words in mind, so he did not press against her belly and just put his head on her thigh. "Wendy, I want to see the 'Peppa Pig'."

Wendy smiled brilliantly and said, "Okay, I'll find it for you now!"

When she searched for the channel with the remote control, a piece of emergency realtime international news popped into her sight. The female reporter looked at the camera with a serious face and reported in a dignified tone, "At 12:05 p.m. local time, an earthquake occurred in South Africa. The number of casualties was not yet clear. But according to the latest news, a lot of Chinese were killed. The earthquake happened 200 kilometers away from Cape Town, the legislative capital of South Africa..."

The remote in Wendy's hand dropped to the ground.

The area where the earthquake had occurred was where Emily Sam was!
