"Aunt!"
Before Wendy could say anything, Madge had already greeted Donna with a smile.
Madge knew that Donna had always been close to Charlie. She loved Charlie very much, so she wanted to please Donna as well.
Donna also smiled, but she waved her hand and said, "Save it! Madge, don't call me aunt. I'm not used to it. You can call me Ms. Hogg or Aunt Donna!"
"Aunt Donna." Madge kept a smile on her face.
"Yes!" Donna responded loudly, and then she took Wendy's arm and said intimately, "Wendy, let's go to the living room to have some fruit. I have something to tell you!"
After that, Donna left with Wendy.
Madge, who was left on the spot, looked terrible.
"Don't be afraid, I'll cover you tonight!" Donna whispered in Wendy's ear, "If she gets the chance to talk to you again, you can call me. I'll help you tease her like what I did just now!"
"Aunt, thank you..." Wendy said sincerely.
"Aren't you giving me something in return?" Donna slowly raised her eyebrows.
"Er, what do you want?" Wendy blinked her eyes. Donna seemed to have prepared for this for a long time. She immediately said, "It's very simple. Make me egg fried rice like you did last time!"
"..." Why egg fried rice again?
Under Donna's expectant eyes, Wendy nodded uneasily.
When the two of them just walked into the living room and sat on the sofa, Charlie was also done with the phone and followed them. Wendy was surrounded by Charlie and Donna, they were like two guardians. Wendy felt relieved somehow.
On the tea table, there were fruits and snacks after dinner. Linda was chatting with the Hogg's couple. It was a peaceful atmosphere.
"Linda, brother Lu called me last night. He said he felt very sorry that he couldn't come back!" Gilbert said with a smile, "Never mind, we are family! Anyway, he has been in Berlin for more than a year. It seems that he has a thing for Germany!"
Linda also laughed, and inadvertently looked in the direction of Wendy when she's speaking. "He's over there on an important project that will take some time to finish, and he does have an interest in Western culture."
"Don't tell me he's planning to settle down there?"
"That won't happen. After all, our home is here!" Linda shook her head and said with a meaningful smile, "Brother Hogg, I think if there's anything important between our two families, he'll drop what he's doing and go back, don't you think?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Gilbert nodded with a smile. Then he stood up and looked at his son and Madge, saying, "Charlie, Madge, come to my study." Charlie frowned and did not move.
Gilbert's face fell.
Seeing this, Wendy gently tugged at the corner of Charlie's clothes and whispered, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here..."
"Okay." Charlie finally nodded and looked at Donna.
Donna gave him a reassuring look and said, "You go!"
Over there, Gilbert had already taken the lead to go upstairs, while Madge was waiting at the stairs with a sweet smile.
As they disappeared upstairs, Wendy took her eyes off them. There was a small peel-off orange in her hand. Donna was raising her eyebrows at her.
After Charlie left, a person suddenly sat down on the empty seat next to her.
Ewan put his hands on his knees, turned his head to Donna, and asked with a smile, "Aunt, do you mind I talking to Wendy?"
Donna raised her eyebrows.
For this nephew, no less than Charlie, who was brought up by her, she didn't actually get along much, so she can't say that she's close to him, but she didn't hate him either.
"Wendy, are you blaming me?" Ewan couldn't help but ask when he saw that Wendy didn't talk to him.
"..." Wendy pursed her lips.
Ewan said seriously, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hide it, just didn't get a chance to mention it." "Ewan Shaw..." Wendy opened her mouth and realized that something was wrong. "Should I call you Ewan Hogg now?"
Now that Wendy was thinking about it carefully, no wonder Ewan was discharged from the army like that and then became Young Master Ewan. Besides, when she met him at the airport and in the
hospital last time, Ewan knew so much about things that happened in the Hogg Family, it's because he was originally a member of the Hogg's Group.
"Don't! Do you remember what I said when we met in the pub? I said that I haven't heard someone call me Ewan Shaw for a long time. You'd better keep it that way!" Ewan immediately waved his hand, and his expression and tone were serious. "Wendy, I really consider you as a good friend. I was wrong to hide this from you, so I apologize. But I hope that nothing's gonna change between us, okay?"
"Okay..." Wendy nodded.
"That's good!" Ewan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Clang-"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise upstairs.
It was like something heavy had been slammed against the wall and could be heard downstairs.
Everyone in the living room was frightened and subconsciously stood up. They saw Charlie walk down the stairs with a gloomy face. He walked very fast. Apparently, he had a fight with Gilbert.
Charlie walked up to Wendy and took her hand.
"Wendy, let's go!"
Before the rest of the people could react, Wendy Shortly after the white Land Rover left, a limousine also drove away from Hogg's Mansion.
The driver in the front was concentrating on the car, and Madge and her mother were sitting behind.
From the moment Linda got in the car, the smile on her face disappeared and she was unpleasant. "I used to think that Charlie was calm and restrained, and always do the right thing. Now he is too unreasonable! He knew we were there but still brought a woman with him. He's just trying to embarrass us, wasn't he?"
"Mom, don't say that." Madge said sullenly.
"It's good that your Uncle Hogg is on your side!" Linda comforted her daughter when she saw that she was in low spirits. Her tone seemed to be very experienced. "Madge, don't be upset! Men are always like this, now he may just be blindfolded for a moment. He'll change when you get married and settle down!"
Madge snuggled up to Linda. "Mom, I must marry Charlie!"
"Yes, I know. You've always liked Charlie!" Linda patted Madge on the shoulder with a smile. Thinking of something, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "By the way, have you investigated the lady who named Lim?"
"I haven't done much work on her." Madge shook her head.
Madge had learned from Yolanda Lim that Wendy Lim was Yolanda's unwelcome sister and had been swept out of the country by the Lim family. She didn't expect that Wendy would be involved with Charlie.
Linda nodded and did not say anything else. She was lost in thought.
