Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 580
Her hand stopped over the car desktop monitor when lively popular songs came out from the video.
Wendy, freezing there in a daze for a few seconds, could not catch a single word of the songs. Looking through the car window, she met the gaze of the woman who was standing across the street, her eyes widening in surprise.
There stood a woman clad in a light black windbreaker. Her slightly curly hair was scattered behind her, and her collar was erected high as if she was deliberately trying to hide from someone. Despite that, Wendy could still see her appearance and the hatred in her beautiful eyes...
Madge?!
Wendy held her breath and quickly opened the car door.
As soon as she jumped off the car, she looked across the street again. At this time, a bus happened to pass by and blocked her view. Then, when it was gone, the figure standing there disappeared. She looked around, swallowing hard nervously.
After coming back with the milky tea he bought, Charlie saw that the car door was open, and Wendy stood at the front of the car, looking at the street across with a serious face and a tight smile.
He put his hand on her shoulder and asked with concern, "Wendy, what's wrong?"
Wendy turned to look at him and then looked back across the street. She shook his head and said, "It's nothing..."
Madge had been sent abroad. On that day, Kim saw her off at the airport. Besides, Ewan followed her there. How could she appear in the Ice city when she was far away abroad?
Wendy bit her lips, thinking that she must have had an illusion or saw a woman who looked like Madge. Perhaps, it was because she was oversensitive about anything related to Madge. She could not help muttering to herself, "Maybe I saw it wrong!"
"Dear, you got it!" She looked up and lingered on the milk tea in his hand.
Seeing that she could not take her eyes off the teacup, Charlie was amused. Instead of using the straw, he directly opened the cover and handed the tea to her.
Wendy couldn't wait any longer she took a sip from the cup in his hand and gave him a bright smile, saying, "Delicious!"
Charlie bent over and licked the milk tea mark remaining on her mouth corners. Wendy blushed immediately. Then, he took her into his white Land Rover and drove through the sunset to pick up Larry. Two days later, Kim went their home for dinner.
Before the meal, he sat on the sofa and enjoyed the fruit with Wendy and his little grandson. He came mainly to discuss some preparations for the wedding with her.
Wendy wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. "Dad, is Madge abroad now?"
"Sure!" Kim nodded.
He was also disappointed with Madge, the daughter that he had raised from a newborn baby. However, she was her daughter, after all. Whenever her name was mentioned, he felt sad and hurt. Seeing that Wendy frowned, he realized that there was something wrong and could not help asking, "Wendy, what's wrong?"
Wendy wanted to make sure if Madge was back. "The day before yesterday, Charlie and I went to try our wedding clothes. When we came out to buy some milk tea, I seemed to see her from across a street, but I didn't know if I saw it wrong..."
"How come? After Linda turned herself in that morning, I took Madge to the airport with my secretary in the afternoon. Besides, I saw her board with my own eyes!" Kim was stunned when he heard this. Wendy nodded and said with her lips pursed, "I'm not sure, but seeing from afar, I think it's her..."
"I'll call and confirm it!" Kim thought for a moment and took out his mobile phone.
It was an overseas call, and perhaps because of the time difference, it took the people on the other side of the phone a long time to pick up the phone. After a brief conversation, he put down the phone and said, "Madge's grandfather said that she was there. Since arriving, she has been staying in the house and never came out. Ewan's child has been with her all the time!"
She knew that Ewan had gone abroad with Madge. For this, Ella had been worried about Ewan all the time.
Ewan was spoony over Madge. Even though he knew that Madge had never loved him, either it was four years ago or now, he was always willing to accompany her. He just could not let go of her in his heart. He would be greatly relieved if Madge could notice his deep love for her.
When Wendy heard what Kim said, he nodded and said, "Then I must be wrong..."
After this, they continued to talk about the wedding.
Most of the time, Wendy was listening instead of talking, for Kim and Gilbert were preparing for the wedding. Feeling deeply moved and happy, she said, "Dad, you and Uncle Hogg must be tired making the wedding preparations!"
"Don't mention it. A father should prepare for his daughter's wedding. Also, I'm happy to do all of this for you. As long as you're happy, your mother will be happy too!" Kim said with a gentle smile. His gaze fell on her face as if seeing the woman he had loved and lost many years ago.
"Mm!" Wendy answered, smiling brilliantly.
She reached out to hold Kim's arm and coquettishly put her head on his shoulder. Kim enjoyed the rare intimacy with her and raised his hand to caress her long hair gently as if she were a little baby. However, they did not lean together for long because Charlie's tall figure walked into the room from the porch.
When he saw they lean close together, he was immediately displeased, his thin lips pressed tight together, and his eyes darkened.
Wendy had no choice but to separate with her father and go eating in the dining room together with Kim, arm-in-arm.
Soon, Saturday came, and they had a day off.
Charlie was busy this week. In addition to working overtime every day, he had to meet a few customers from abroad on the weekend. During the day, only Wendy and Larry stayed in the villa, enjoying each other's company.
When it was almost evening, Wendy heard a knock on the door downstairs.
Since the door of the children's room was open, Wendy then heard Aunt Lee shouting upstairs toward her, "Miss Lim, it seems that your wedding dress has arrived!" "Okay, I'll come down now!" She poked her head out of the room and answered.
She picked up two different-
colored crayons so that Larry could draw freely on the paper. Then, she slowly walked downstairs.
She had tried the dress in the store. Its style and size fit her very well, so there were just some minor details that needed to be revised. In the morning, the wedding-dress company had called her and confirmed the time of delivery.
Wendy also felt very excited. Right after she was downstairs, she asked, "Aunt Lee, where is it?"
"I put it in the living room. Go and see it!" Aunt Lee smiled happily and pointed to the sofa inside.
"Okay!" Wendy nodded.
She walked straight into the living room. There were two pink bags on the sofa, printed with the name of the wedding dress store.
She had tried it in the store, but still, she felt that her heartbeat quickened as she unzipped the pink bag, and the white hem of her dress was revealed. She reached out to take it out. However, the next second, she suddenly let go of the dress.
"Ah!!!"
Hearing her scream, Aunt Lee ran out of the kitchen in a hurry. "Miss Lim, are you okay? Oh, my god..."
When Aunt Lee ran into the living room, she called out with a mixture of surprise and horror.
