Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 602

Somehow, the strange idea struck her, so Wendy immediately shared it with Charlie. However, she did not expect it to be true.

"..." A little dumbfounded, she opened her mouth but said nothing.

Charlie raised his hand, rubbing his chin with a thoughtful expression, and added, seemingly seriously, "Well, she is sort of pretty."

"..." Wendy pursed her lips and held her tongue.

"Since I've been in a coma in the four months, I knew nothing about what happened." Charlie paused for a moment and continued with a smile. "But when I woke up, I heard from the villager that his daughter often fed me water and porridge!"

Wendy clenched her fingers.

She became so upset that she suddenly regretted telling him that romantic story.

Charlie did not realize she was so unhappy. He pointed to a clay house not far away and said, "Here we are. It's the house before us!"

Wendy's hand was in his, so she had no choice but to keep walking with him.

Charlie knocked on the wooden door and opened it. Although the house was a little shabby, it still looked neat. There was a villager in the yard cleaning the snow with a large broom. Next to him, an old man was tidying the corn poles covered by the snow.

Without Charlie's introduction, Wendy could figure out that the former was the villager who saved him from the river, and the latter was the old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine who cured him.

She no longer felt jealous and greeted them with tears in her eyes - she was deeply grateful.

They must be unsophisticated villagers who were used to living simple lives. Charlie was always generous when it came to repayment his debt of gratitude, so he must have given them a large sum of money. Nevertheless, they still lived as thrifty as before.

Knowing that Wendy and Charlie had come all the way from the city, the villager and his old father greeted them nervously and enthusiastically. In the face of her repeated thanks, they flushed, rubbing their hands with embarrassment.

After all, men at their birth are naturally good.

Wendy liked to be with the family, for all the family members were very honest and simple. Staying with these kind people, she felt as happy as when she lived in the countryside with her grandparents in her childhood.

Looking at the time, she said, "Dear, let's go home, shall we?"

They had agreed with each other before they came here, only to express their gratitude in person, and did not intend to stay here for too long. Wendy did not want to trouble these enthusiastic and hospitable villagers too much.

However, Charlie did not respond. Instead, he looked away from her and asked, "Brother Lee, where's your little daughter?"

"Jane?" The villager replied with a simple and honest smile. "Before you came here, my wife asked her to buy a bottle of vinegar in the grocery store, but she hasn't been back yet. I suppose that she must have been talking with the store's owner, an old lady! She is very popular with the elders in the village. They like talking with her!"

Wendy could tell from his words that Jane was kind-hearted and charming...

Then when she thought of what Charlie had said before they entered the village, she just could not stop herself from feeling jealous.

The villager heard their words and knew that they were about to leave. He immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Hogg, just go back to deal with your business first! You people in the city are busy every day. Don't waste time in my shabby house!"

Wendy was about to stand up and say thanks and goodbye while Charlie was sitting still.

He stopped her and sat with his legs crossed. Then he said slowly with a faint smile, "There's no hurry. We can wait for Jane to come back and say hello to her before leaving."

Wendy's smile froze on her face.

She secretly looked at Charlie, hinting him to leave. But he did not even cast a look at her and was busy chatting happily with Brother Lee.

They waited for about ten minutes before someone appeared outside of the yard.

The fingers on Wendy's knees curled up, and she could not help holding her breath nervously.

When the door was pushed open, who came in was not the young lady with a graceful figure as she had imagined, but a little girl about half the height of an adult. She held a vinegar bottle in her hand and had two braids on her head. She was only two or three years older than Larry.

Even at a very young age, she was very pretty and full of energy, and her big and black eyes looked attractive.

"Uncle Hogg!"

The little girl shouted happily.

Charlie smiled and reached out to hug her while glancing at Wendy sideways - she lowered her head in embarrassment.

When they came out of the villagers' house, Wendy, annoyed, raised her hand to hit his chest and complained, "Charlie, you did it on purpose!"

"Mm." Charlie curled his lips and let out a low chuckle.

Wendy felt extremely ashamed when she knew that she was jealous of a little girl as young as her son! She did not even know how she got out of the villagers' house. It was so embarrassing! Oh, Charlie, what a wicked man...

Charlie stretched out his arms and held her in his arms. By a passionate kiss, he stopped her from blaming him.

Some elder villagers passing by happened to see them kissing. They uttered a low cry of surprise and quickly walked away from them with shame. Wendy and Charlie looked at each other and burst out laughing. Then they continued to walk to the village's entrance, hand in hand.

When they approached the brand-new Land Rover, Wendy received a text message.

As Wendy checked it, she felt Charlie's warm breath on her cheek. She turned to look at him and caught him peeping at her phone.

Wendy suddenly smiled and showed her mobile phone to him. "Not from a man. Tilly sent the message!"

"Oh." Charlie's lips twitched slightly. It was obvious that he was not on the alert as he had just been.

After all, he had disappeared for four months. Who knew if any men were pursuing her? He had to keep an eye on such a thing. With all precautions taken, would he feel safe!

"Didn't I tell you that Francis had proposed to her? They are passionately in love. Some time ago, she had met his family. Now she texted to tell me that their wedding date has been set. It will be in the next spring!"

Soon, Wendy finished speaking, but Charlie noticed that her smile gradually faded away and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Well, I'm thinking about Emily..." Wendy slightly pursed her lips.

She sighed softly and said while looking at the distant smoke dispersing in the cold air. "On the day of our wedding, she told me that she was also going to get married, and the day is drawing near..."

As her best friend for many years, Wendy was very happy that Emily could have a home finally. But deep in her heart, she thought Simon would be a better husband, and they were destined to be together, though Wendy could not tell the reason...

Charlie raised his eyebrows and suddenly threw out a sentence, "Miss Sam will not get married this time."

"Eh?" Wendy was stunned.

She blinked her eyes. When she saw the unfathomable look on his face, joy welled up in her heart. She immediately shook his arm and asked, "Why? What's in your mind? Do you know anything that I don't know? Dear, tell me right now!"

She was begging him coquettishly! Charlie enjoyed it for some time before he slowly whispered something into her ear.

After hearing that, Wendy was stunned at first and then smiled brightly.
