Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 596
Seeing the shiny diamond ring on her ring finger, Wendy exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
Tilly blushed with embarrassment. Her natural manner had deserted her-she turned a little coy and shy and said with a voice full of sweetness, "Francis proposed to me, and I agreed!" Wendy opened her eyes wide in surprise and said merrily, "Congratulations!"
"Hey! Everything comes to the person who waits!" Tilly smiled broadly, scratching her head, and continued, "In a few days, I will probably go back to Hong Kong with him to meet the elders of the Wallace family! What should I do? I have to face my parents-in-law soon. I am so nervous! But it's okay. I am afraid of nothing. Anyway, I have conquered Francis. I can absolutely charm them!"
At the end of her speech, she became as brave as before - a girl who dared to love and hate.
Wendy smiled lightly while listening to her. Gently, she touched her belly, which became larger as the baby in it grew bigger. Charlie had passed away for four months and left Wendy alone to take care of their son and their daughter, who was about to be born. Whenever Tilly thought of this, she felt like crying.
Every time Tilly came to see her, she noticed that the villa stayed unchanged. Wendy had never worn any mourning dress or white flowers on her head. She continued to live here as if nothing had happened and Charlie had never had the accident...
All of a sudden, Tilly felt sad, and her face turned gloomy. Wendy, seeing her like this, asked with a smile, "Why do you have a bitter look on your face?"
Tilly did not want her to mention the sad thing about Charlie again, so she quickly repressed her feelings and waved her hand, saying, "It's not like that. I suddenly feel a little afraid of marriage! After all, the relationship between Charlie and I developed too fast!"
After Wendy saw Kim and Tilly off, the sky was completely dark.
The light coming out from the house's front door fell on the snow outside. In the snow, the house with many warm lights looked like a small castle standing aloof from the world.
Larry insisted on sleeping every night on his own, for he was afraid that he would accidentally hurt his little sister when he turned over in bed. Therefore, after Wendy coaxed him into sleep, she did not sleep with him but sat alone before the window in a daze.
She looked out from the warm room. Outside, the snowflakes were dancing wildly.
Wendy sat with her elbows on the table, resting her chin on her cupped hands. She slightly raised her head to look at the scene out of the window in the same way as she used to look at Charlie. Without herself noticing it, she whispered to herself as if she were talking to him, "Dear, Tilly came to visit me today and told me that Francis had proposed to her. So, she will go to see the elders of the Wallace family. She seemed to be a little nervous, but she has finally got what she wanted. I feel really happy for her!" "Oh, right, do you know that Connie and Mr. Chiang are dating?!"
Connie and Mr. Chiang were the groomsman and the bridesmaid at their wedding, though Wendy did not see them interact much with each other. Only after she threw the wedding bouquet did she see them talking animatedly. Unexpectedly, they fell in love with each other!
Wendy chuckled and said, "I have thought about introducing Mr. Chiang to Connie, but I didn't expect that fate would make them a couple!"
But then her nose twitched, and her tears dripped straight down onto her hand back.
When she was alone in the bedroom, she did not need to worry that Larry would see her crying bitterly. Finally, she could show all her weaknesses and cry with no scruples when thinking of Charlie. However, not allowing herself to be swallowed by the sadness, she cried for just a little while. Then she snorted and held back her tears.
She took a tissue and wiped off all the tears on her face. Then, Wendy touched her round belly and said in a low, muffled voice, "Leilani, your bad papa makes me cry again. He's so annoying..." As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her baby kicked her.
Lowering her head, she saw a small part of her belly bulged. Amused a little, she reached out to touch there and said, "You bad little girl, are you displeased because I spoke ill of your father?" Once again, Leilani gave her a gentle kick as if she were responding to her.
Wendy suddenly remembered the first time that she felt a fetal movement. When she told him how she felt, his eyebrows raised high wonderingly he was surprised and jealous. When the car stopped before a red light, he couldn't help putting his big palm onto her belly to feel the baby's movement, nervously holding his breath. Also, she remembered his intent face every night when he put his ear to her belly... She raised her head high; otherwise, she would cry out painfully again.
It was a quiet and lonely night. Soon after lying down, Wendy fell asleep. Maybe because she had cried, she felt exhausted and fell asleep fast.
When she turned over, she felt that Charlie slipped his arm around her waist. Just like before, he moved very gently to avoid pressing hard on her belly and put his palm on her. Wendy could feel the warmth from him through her clothes, and he kissed her forehead...
Wendy opened her eyes and reached out to touch him subconsciously.
However, no one was next to her. She groped for a long time, but only touched the air. Then she realized that she was dreaming.
She sniffed her nose, which had been stuffed up by tears, and found it hard to fall asleep again. So, she simply pulled up the quilt and got up. It was dawn outside when the morning light came through the clouds. The snow finally stopped after a day and night. She was afraid that if she stayed in the bedroom, she would want to cry again when recalling the dream. Thus, she put on her clothes, went downstairs, and got out of the villa.
She walked into the golden morning sunshine. After the snow, it was a little dry and cold, like the winter in the north.
The snow on the ground was thicker than yesterday's, and before anyone could clean it, she stepped on the soft snow and left a deep footprint. Then, she ground the snow under her shoes and watched it melting under her feet.
Aunt Lee woke up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. When she saw Wendy standing in the yard in a down jacket, she stopped yawning and quickly pushed open the window and shouted, "Miss Lim, it's too cold outside. Please go back inside!"
A pregnant woman had to be careful of catching a cold, for they had to be very cautious about any medicine they took. Therefore, when they caught a cold, they had to endure it and recover by themselves. The process would be painful.
Wendy, fully aware of the doctor's warning about this, quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go in right away!"
She put a hand on her hip, turned around, and was about to walk into the villa before she halted.
It was not that she could not lift her feet that sank in the snow. She froze there and lost all her strength. Somehow, as if sensing something, she quickly and carefully turned around, looking in the direction of the gate.
It was hard to believe what she saw. She was standing there in surprise with her mouth agape and her eyes widened when the wisps of steam puffed from her lips gradually dissipated.
She held her breath and did not dare to breathe. She once doubted whether she was still in the dream until a familiar calm male voice came.
"Wendy."
Hearing the voice that had not been heard for a long time, Wendy could help but burst out crying.
