Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 225

"Charlie, you're back!"

It was a gentle female voice that broke the silence.

Wendy looked over and saw Madge sitting on the sofa, wearing a very stylish high-collar sweater. It seemed that she was out of the hospital. Although she was still a little haggard, it didn't affect her outstanding beauty at all.

There was a noble woman sitting next to Madge. They have similar eyes and should be mother and daughter.

The woman seemed to look at her up and down, and there was some uncertainty in her sharp eyes.

"Charlie, do you know what day it is today? Where is this place?" Gilbert put down the cup in his hand. It seemed that he had his anger suppressed because of the presence of Madge and her mother Linda. "Madge and Linda are our families. How dare you bring irrelevant people to my house! Where is the housekeeper? Housekeeper? How can you let an outsider in!"

Wendy slowly lowered her head and felt ashamed.

Charlie frowned and said in a low voice, "Wendy is not an outsider."

His voice was not loud, but it fell right on everyone's heart.

Except for Wendy and Charlie, the expressions on the faces of the rest were frozen. "Uncle Hogg, don't be angry! It's your birthday today. Besides, since she's a friend of Charlie, it'll be more fun to have more people to celebrate for you." Madge interrupted loudly at this time, and once again, her few words defused the awkward atmosphere.

When Madge turned her head to look at her mother next to her, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mom, are you all right?"

"I'm okay!" Linda seemed to come to her senses just then, and also smiled and spoke up, "Hogg, Madge is right. It's better to have more people to celebrate for you! She's a guest anyway, we don't need to kick her out and make it unpleasant!"

At this point, Linda looked back at Wendy again. "We still don't know your name, Miss?"

"My surname is Lim..." Wendy replied.

"Lim?" Linda frowned and said in a tone a bit of surprising.

Wendy looked at Charlie's and her hands that were always intertwined. Charlie had been holding her hand tightly all the time, and she could feel the continuous power. In addition to telling herself not to be afraid like what she did when she entered the door, she also straightened her back.

If she wanted to be with him, she'll have to be there for him.

Taking a deep breath, Wendy stepped forward. "Uncle... Chairman Hogg!"

Thinking of Gilbert's dissatisfaction, she quickly changed the way of calling him, and said respectfully, "I'm sorry to bother you so rashly! I know it's your birthday today, so I..."

"If you knew it's a bad idea, you shouldn't have come here!" Gilbert interrupted Wendy coldly. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Wendy bit her lip and quickly lowered her eyes. She didn't want anyone to see the pain in her eyes.

Although she was prepared to be taunted and treated badly, she's still embarrassed.

"Brother Hogg, why are you being so unsympathetic?" Linda saw that Wendy was holding something in her hand with sharp eyes and said with a smile, "I see Miss Lim has a gift in her hand.

Why don't you take a look at it? Anyway, It's a nice gesture!"

Hearing Linda's words, Wendy took out the box wrapped in a bag and carefully put it on the tea table. "Chairman Hogg, this is a small present for you. I hope you like it..."

Gilbert snorted with disdain.

"Hogg, if you don't mind, allow me to open it for you!" After Linda got Gilbert's consent, she opened the box and said in surprise, "It's a set of precious inkstone! Hogg, it's the most famous kind of inkstone. And from the color and the quality of the stone, it should be the best kind!"

Gilbert scanned the inkstone and moved his eyes without leaving a trace.

The inkstone in the study upstairs accidentally fell off and miss a corner when it was cleaned by servants the day before yesterday, and this one was just to make up for the one that broke? Although Gilbert thought so, he didn't show it on his face.

Linda was still studying the inkstone with great interest. "There are even sculptures on it. When Madge's grandfather was alive, I used to buy inkstones for him, so I know a little about it! I wonder what Miss Lim does for a living? You're so generous. It must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Er, I'm just an employee...." Wendy was stunned and answered honestly.

Upon hearing this, Linda just smiled and said nothing more.

As expected, the disdain in Charlie's father's eyes grew deeper. He deliberately turned to look at Madge and said, "Madge, did you bring a gift for me?"

"Of course. I'll give it to you right now!" Madge showed two dimples.

She also took out a small box from her bag, walked to Gilbert, sat down next to him, and handed it to him.

"Is it a handkerchief?" Gilbert opened it and was not surprised.

"Yes!" Madge smiled and said, "Uncle Hogg, take a closer look!"

Gilbert did as she said, looked down again, and soon smiled, "So there's some clever thinking going on. There are words on it!"

The Dark blue handkerchief with dark plaid seemed to be very ordinary. It's not a name brand and it's nothing special. However, when Gilbert spread it out, he saw two lines of regular script embroidered with golden threads in the lower right corner of the handkerchief, which respectively wrote, "as blessed as the East Sea flowing forever, as long as immortal pine that lives in Mt Nana."

"The handwriting is not pretty. Uncle Hogg, don't laugh at me! I embroidered it myself. When you were in the hospital, you wiped my tears with your handkerchief, so I thought you'd get a new one for your birthday. But the time is too tight. I had someone taught me for a period of time and I am not very skilled yet!" Madge explained with a smile.

"Just go to the shopping mall to buy one. Why are you doing it yourself?" Gilbert was surprised and didn't seem to have thought of it.

"That's more sincere!" Madge's dimples deepened.

Linda gave Madge a very timely help and said, "In order to embroider this handkerchief, Madge didn't get much sleep for two nights. She pricked several holes in her fingers!"

"Oh, mom, why do you say that?" Madge hurriedly put away her fingers which still wrapped around the band-aid.

"Madge is really thoughtful! You have just been out of the hospital for two days, and didn't get a good rest just to prepare gifts for me!" Gilbert nodded and was very touched. He glanced aside and his expression cooled down. "Although this handkerchief may not be worth a lot of money, Madge's heart is priceless. She is not like someone, who is just an ordinary company employee but squanders money like dirt. It's just vanity after all!" There was a hidden meaning in his last words.

Wendy couldn't help but take a small step back.

Given Charlie's father's status, she was afraid that she can't get his eyes with ordinary stuff. When she went to the shop to choose gifts, she chose expensive ones. She had spent a lot of money on it, but unexpectedly, she was regarded as a shallow person. But in other words, she knew very well that Charlie's father had a deep prejudice against her. Even if she was the one who gave the handkerchief to him, Charlie's father was not going to be nice to her. He would only think that she was too petty...

No matter what, she did what she thought she should do.

Wendy felt a warmth on her shoulders. It was Charlie who hugged her.

Charlie looked at his father with his deep eyes and said, "If you don't want it, I can take it back as a smoke tank."
