Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 581
Aunt Lee was really scared, and the basin in her hand almost fell to the ground. It took a few seconds for her to calm down. "Why are there so many rats? What's this wedding dress shop doing? It's such rotter luck!"
Right now, in addition to the wedding dress she dropped, there were also dozens of dead mice falling on the carpet.
The mice weren't only dead, but they were also bleeding from all seven orifices on their heads. Some even had their heads cut off, and the bloodstain dyed the wedding dress red. It looked particularly creepy, which was also the reason why Wendy screamed when she saw it.
She held her stomach and took a few steps back. Until now, she was still in shock, and her stomach was churning.
Aunt Lee saw her pale face, so she quickly walked around the table and stood in front of her. "Miss Lim, go upstairs quickly and leave them to me! I'll clean them up right away!"
Wendy nodded and didn't dare to take another look. The scene was too bloody, and she felt that she would throw up if she stayed a second longer.
The lower part of the wedding dress was all tainted into a mess, and there was almost no way to wear it again. Not only was it scary, but also as Aunt Lee said just now, it was such rotten luck!
Charlie rushed back when he heard the news. He pushed open the door of the master bedroom and found that Wendy had fallen asleep in bed, accompanied by Larry, who was sleeping with his hands thrown over his head in a surrendering posture.
It was just that compared to her fast asleep son, she did not sleep very well and even frowned in her sleep.
Charlie quietly walked over to her. As soon as his fingertips touched the hair on her forehead, she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.
In fact, Wendy was barely asleep this whole time. She was more frightened than she was sleepy. She was dozing off just then when his big hand reached out to her, and the scene in her dream was that a dead mouse had run up her face, which immediately woke her up with a start.
Looking into those deep and serene eyes, which were as deep as an ancient well, she felt that her internal organs gradually returned to their original positions.
She held his hand under the quilt. "Charlie Hogg, you're back..."
Charlie held her hand as well and didn't mind the way she addressed him under such circumstances. Instead, he raised her hand to his lips and kissed it sympathetically.
He helped her sit up. Next to her, Larry also turned in his sleep, but he didn't wake up and went on sleeping soundly, which made Charlie want to laugh.
"You were scared, weren't you?"
Wendy didn't hide her feelings from him. She nodded pitifully and said, "A little bit..."
"Aunt Lee has already dealt with it, and the carpets in the living room have been thrown away. Don't worry, this won't happen again! I've already contacted the wedding dress store. It should be a mistake in the delivery process. It's just a prank!" Charlie put the other arm on her shoulder and comforted her softly.
"The wedding dress..." Wendy frowned.
Charlie curled his lips and said in a calm voice, "The wedding dress is hand-made and the drawings are all available. They'll hurry up and make another one in the next ten days. The wedding dress store has promised that our wedding won't be delayed!"
"Well, that's good!" Wendy nodded with relief.
Noticing that the frown was still knitted between his eyebrows, she smiled and raised her hand to smooth it. "Honey, don't worry, I'm fine!"
Seeing that his gaze was moving down her body, Wendy touched her belly in a hurry. It was she who tried to comfort him now. "Jenny is fine, too. Remember? She's particularly strong!"
"Well, both of you are so awesome!" Charlie smiled. He didn't want her to think about those frightening scenes, so he deliberately changed the subject, "The invitation card for the wedding has been printed out."
"Are they all printed already?" Wendy asked in surprise.
Charlie replied with a "Hum". Then he turned back, picked up the bag at the end of the bed, and took out the invitation cards. "The electronic backup is in my email. You can have a look. Write down the names of the people you want to invite!"
Although the society nowadays had all gone digital, hand- written invitations still felt sincerer.
In the past, she might not have many friends, but now, her wanted to invite her colleagues in the new company, including Connie and Bonnie, as well as a lot of colleagues who got along with her, to participate in the event and share this joy.
Wendy opened the invitation card and noticed the design of the cover. It was the first letter of their names. Without asking, she could guess that it must have been secretly designed by him. She always saw him staying alone in the study in the past few days. When she knocked on the door, he would quickly stuff the paper on the table into the drawer.
"Okay!" She nodded her head in a charming and silly way.
However, some people could receive invitations, while others couldn't be reached.
Charlie took out his phone from his pocket and muttered, "I'll call Simon and tell him to come back to attend the wedding!"
Upon hearing this, Wendy rolled his eyes and said in a hurry, "Then I'll give Emily a call too!"
In the evening, Charlie came out the shower with a bath towel around his waist. Seeing that the lights were still on in the study, he pushed the door that was opened by a gap and saw that Wendy was leaning forward on his writing desk. Next to her was a stack of invitation cards. She was holding a pen and filling them up.
She was very serious, and there was a draft paper placed next to her. She would draft it first before writing the formal one.
She had already finished a few. Charlie walked over and casually took one out from the stack. When he saw the name "Brother Felix" in the invitee column, his lips could not help but twitch.
He pulled out another one and saw the name "Ryan" written on it. His face darkened a little.
Wendy poked his waist with a pen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You're so stingy. Brother Felix is married, and I think his wife is already pregnant. She's less advanced in her pregnancy than me and should be due next year!"
"Ryan is still single!" Charlie showed her the invitation in his hand. He snorted coldly and asked with a frown, "He's all the way out there in Canada. Why do we have to invite him?"
Felix would be fine, since he was married, and Francis had been in Ice city the whole time, so they had to invite him. As for Ryan, although he had never really shown any feelings like the other two men, people that hid their feelings were the type that concerned him the most. Anyway, Charlie didn't really want to let Ryan come.
"Yes!" Wendy nodded firmly.
She explained patiently to him, "I made Ryan promise that he would find some time to attend my wedding when I got married!"
Charlie frowned, and his eyes were still fixed on the invitation.
Wendy opened her mouth and yawned loudly with her hand covering her mouth.
"Are you sleepy?"
She nodded honestly. Pregnancy had made her drowsy, and she was soon very sleepy. Before she knew it, she couldn't keep her eyes open. She put down the pen and said, "I'm a little sleepy, honey. I'll do the rest of it tomorrow. Let's go back to the room and go to bed!"
"Okay." Charlie nodded and lifted her up from the chair.
Wendy held his big hand smiled sweetly at him.
She rubbed her eyes and walked ahead, but what she didn't notice was that Charlie, who was following her, threw an invitation card into the trash can when she wasn't looking.
