Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 584

Ewan put the cigarette and lighter into his pocket and walked toward Wendy as well.

Wendy blinked in surprise and asked, "When did you come back? Why didn't you come in?"

"There was no need."

For the questions she asked in succession, Ewan only answered the last one.

Although they hadn't held the wedding ceremony yet, Wendy and Charlie had registered for marriage some time ago. Nominally, they were already married, and she was a member of the Hogg family now. In other words, Ewan was kind of like her younger brother.

In fact, she still felt shy about the change of the relationship between them.

Since Charlie was suspected of a commercial crime, Ewan had shouldered all the responsibility. It had been a long time since Wendy last saw him. He seemed to have lost some weight, and he looked a little serious at the moment.

Inexplicably, Wendy had a bad foreboding.

Ewan said hesitantly, "Wendy, in fact, I sneaked back this time!"

"Sneak?" Wendy was stunned by the word.

"Yes." Ewan slowly nodded and continued in a hesitant tone, "Not only me, but also Madge..."

Wendy widened her eyes in shock and asked uncertainly, "You mean Madge is not abroad now?"

Ewan nodded once more, confirming her words.

Wendy was speechless and swallowed her throat.

She thought of the familiar figure she saw opposite the wedding dress shop. If Madge had really come back, then the figure Wendy saw that day should be her.

Ewan continued, "Ever since Uncle Gray sent Madge out of the country, he has been determined not to let her come back, and I have been thinking about nothing but living with her there. A few days ago, she told me that her mother was going to be sentenced, and she wanted to see her before the sentence. She begged me for help, and I was softhearted that I agreed. I used some connections to take her back in disguise. Now her grandparents know nothing about it!".

No wonder that....

When Wendy and Kim talked about them, the latter had called to seek confirmation and was told that Madge was abroad with Ewan. Wendy didn't expect that they had sneaked back!

"Then why did you come and tell me this?"

Since he wanted to cover Madge, he should keep their whereabouts a secret and should never tell Wendy about it.

On hearing Wendy's question, Ewan showed a complicated look on his face. "After we returned to Ice city, Madge disappeared. I have almost searched every corner of the city but still failed to find her. I think she is hiding from me on purpose. I don't why she did this..."

"Ever since she was sent abroad by Uncle Gray, she hardly went out. She stayed in her room all day long and even refused to eat sometimes. I had to soothe her to let her talk to me. She was more depressed than before and I think she came back this time with some special purposes. So I think I should keep you informed of this."

Wendy clenched her hands that hung beside her body as she replied, "Okay, I know..."

Her intuition told her that the dead mice hidden in her wedding dress and the prank calls must have something to do with Madge...

There were footsteps coming from behind her. Charlie's tall figure appeared beside her.

"Aunt Lee told me that Ewan is here?"

Wendy nodded and pointed to the direction in which Ewan had just left, replying, "Yes, he just left..."

She told him the news brought by Ewan and what she thought about it. Charlie frowned and put his arm around her shoulder. "You don't have to pay attention to it. If it was really her who did this, I think she was just trying to disgust us. She is like a clown now! I'll call your father and talk about it with him later!"

"Okay..." her lips curled into a smile.

Because of the dead mice wrapped in her wedding dress, she had to customize a new one.

Fortunately, the staff of the wedding dress shop was very efficient. They told her two days earlier than she had expected that they had made her a new dress. Because of the pranks, Charlie drove her to the shop personally this time.

As requested by Wendy, not all the staff in the shop came to serve them this time. After all, they came just to take their dress. There was no need to have all the staff serve them and have their business influenced.

As the store manager had already prepared everything in advance, it didn't take them long to get their dress.

When they were about to leave the wedding dress shop, Wendy proposed to go to the bathroom, while Charlie sat on the sofa and waited for her patiently.

When Wendy came out of the bathroom, she found that there was a young girl sitting next to Charlie. The girl was wearing a lavender small dress, seeming to be a bridesmaid with a bride who was trying her wedding dress there. She looked very young and beautiful and seemed to be in college.

Perhaps because Charlie was alone at that moment, she thought that he was a groomsman and then came up to strike up a conversation with him.

Wendy shook the water drops off her hands and did not panic when she saw the girl. Instead, she recalled what Charlie had told her take every step with care.

Even though the young girl was staring at Charlie closely with passion in her eyes, Wendy would not think too much about it. She trusted her husband almost unconditionally.

As she expected, before she got close, Charlie pointed in her direction and said something. Then, the young girl looked disappointed. She got up and walked away quickly.

Wendy went straight to Charlie, who reached out his hand to hold her waist. With a hint of sweet curiosity in her heart, she couldn't help looking up at him charmingly and asking, "Honey, what did you say to that girl?"

She knew that Charlie would handle the situation very well.

However, since she had seen him point at her and say something to that girl, she was very curious about what he had said. She guessed that he might have praised her or told the girl what he felt about her, just like what she did behind his back. Thus, she wanted him to repeat the words even more.

Charlie smiled faintly and said, "She asked me for my phone number, but I didn't give it to her."

"That's all?" Wendy blinked her eyes.

Charlie lowered his head and looked at her while replying in a lazy tone, "Hmm. I also told her that I'm married and I'm henpecked."

Wendy was dumbfounded.

She thought it was some kind of sweet words, and she didn't expect it to be so straightforward.

Embarrassed and annoyed, she raised her hand and hit him on the chest with her clenched fist.

Wendy had little strength, so she was just pretending and wouldn't hit him with much strength. Besides, he had strong muscles, so only she would feel pain if she hit him.

The young girl, who had not gone far, looked back and happened to see the scene. She looked at Wendy with a horrified look as if she were looking at a tigress.

Hand on her forehead, Wendy realized that her just action confirmed Charlie's words that he was henpecked.
