Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 254

Ewan sighed and didn't hide anything. "You're right."

"..." Wendy's eyes widened slightly.

Just now when she saw Madge holding the small jade joss, she could not help but feel a little suspicious. Now that it was confirmed, she was quite shocked.

Didn't that mean the little brother had fallen in love with his future sister-in-law?

"Madge and I have known each other for a long time." Ewan continued slowly, "At that time, I wasn't out of the army yet. On one of the field trips, I ran into Madge, she and her classmates were watching a meteor shower and got stuck in the mountain. Madge's leg was injured at that time, and I saved her. Later she gave me the jade joss she was carrying, saying it was to ward off evil spirits. At that time, I had already fallen in love with her."

"But I know that there has always been someone she likes in her heart, who is her fiance. I didn't know that she's my legal sister-in-law until I joined the Hogg family. That's how things happen in the world. I went to the United States before and confessed my love to her, but she rejected me! I wish it had been me who's engaged to her, or even me as a substitute. But it was impossible because there's only room for Charlie in her heart, huh..."

Wendy understood.

This was a secret love story, but in the end, it didn't end up well.

Seeing Ewan's face full of self-mockery, she sighed in a low voice. "It seems you're suffering too..."

"Sometimes I feel like I know nothing about love, and it always makes people unlike themselves." It sounded like self- contradiction or self- denial, his eyes barely focused.

The corners of Wendy's mouth moved a little, but she didn't say anything.

Ewan quickly hid his emotion and looked at Wendy. He dodged her sight and wanted to say something, but stopped. "Wendy, I've already known what happened between you and Charlie. Are you... okay?"

"I'm okay..." Wendy's smile was a little stiff.

"You haven't been together for a long time. After a while, you may forget it. I always thought you'd be better off with Felix!" Ewan looked at her pale face and felt sorry for her. Her beautiful face with tears in her eyes came to Ewan's mind, but he had already made up his mind and said, "Besides, the Hogg family and the Gray family have worked together on more than 100 projects involving hundreds of billions of dollars. They need reliable cooperation, and the only way to maintain this reliable cooperation is to have marriage as a bond. So, it's actually understandable that he would make that choice now, you know?"

Wendy pinched herself hard and whispered, "I understand..."

Ewan looked at her eyes, which were full of sadness, and the guilt hidden in his heart was deeper.

"I'll send you back later?"

"No, thank you..." Wendy shook her head. "I'll just take the bus."

On the weekend, Wendy stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.

There were two plates of fruits on the tea table, which had been washed and cut. They were all brought by Felix.

Since she was pregnant, Felix often came over. Sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the evening, he brought a lot of things every time, which were nutritious to her body.

Wendy picked up two pieces of mango and felt that there's too much to eat. She wanted Felix to eat with her.

It was only after she called Felix twice that he seemed to hear her.

Fie looked serious as if he had something on his mind, she couldn't help asking, "Felix, what's wrong with you?"

Felix crossed his hands in front of his body and hesitated for two seconds. Then he said in a deep voice, "Wendy, I'm afraid I have to ask you for a favor..."

"What? Tell me!" Wendy said in a hurry.

"In fact, I came from the hospital. My mother-in-law is sick." Felix sighed.

"Ah, Auntie Wong, how is she?" Wendy was stunned and asked with concern.

When she was living with her grandmother, Auntie Wong was living next door. It was because of this that she knew Felix and his son and witnessed him raising Toby alone. The two families had a good relationship. Then Grandma got sick and moved to the hospital, Auntie Wong would often go to the hospital to visit her...

"Not good." Felix shook his head and his face became more serious. "She has liver cancer which was detected just two days ago and has now deteriorated to an advanced stage. The doctor said that she only got a year at most, or three months."

Wendy was stunned.

After Grandma passed away, she had grown to feel that life was unpredictable.

"Well, Felix, what can I do for you?" Wendy asked in confusion.

"My mother- in- law feels guilty that her daughter died early and I haven't married again in years. She hopes that I can marry another woman and live a new life so that I don't have to raise Toby alone. Then she'll die in peace." Felix said this and looked up at Wendy. "I don't want her to worry about me when she's dying. So, I want you to do this for me because I'm afraid she won't believe me if I find some other woman. She's basically watching you grow up, you're the only one who can put her mind at ease."

"..." Wendy pursed her lips and didn't expect that coming. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

She knew the reason why Felix said so. In the past, all her little thoughts were obvious to Antie Wong. Therefore, if it was her, Antie Wong would not think that Felix was deliberately coaxing her.

Felix said in a hurry, "Wendy, it's just an act in front of her, you shouldn't have any mental baggage. And it depends on your will. If you think it's inappropriate, you can say no and don't make things difficult for yourself!"

Wendy thought for a few seconds and nodded. "I'll do it..."

The next afternoon, they went to the airport to pick up the little fellow who was brought out by the crew, and then drove to the hospital.

After visited Antie Wong, they found a restaurant nearby in the evening.

There were too many people at the dinner time, and they didn't make a reservation in advance, so they waited in line at the door for a while. About 20 minutes later, when their number was called, a waiter came forward and took them to the hall.

At this time, the glass door was pushed open again.

A few men in suits and leather shoes walked in. It seemed that they had a dinner party. A waiter had already led them to the elevator to the private room upstairs.

Farr, who was following these men in an orderly manner, looked somewhere and said, "Mr. Flogg..."

Then he saw that there were a man and a boy next to Wendy and he immediately stopped talking. Although he didn't know what had happened, the relationship between Boss and Miss Lim was very weak at the current stage. Fie wanted Boss to think that he had just shouted casually.

However, it was too late. Boss had already looked over.
