Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 40

Wendy Lim was in a trance.

This was the third time he asked her, and he reminded her that she shouldn’t let him ask again.

"I'll give you what I promised if you agree." Charlie Hogg raised his hand and twined the hair hanging down from her ear around his fingers, "You need to know, there are so many girls, who are younger or more beautiful than you, would like to crawl to my bed. Be clever."

When he was about to finish, he stroked her face with his fingers.

Wendy Lim shrank back.

The man was in a hand-made suit, with a new white shirt inside. There were two red agates inlaid on his cufflinks. He had a clearly defined face and a pair of deep eyes.

No matter judged from which aspect, he could drive women crazy. Wendy Lim didn't have any doubt about his words.

She swallowed and kept her voice clear, "My answer does not change."

"Are you playing a cat and mouse game?" Charlie Hogg frowned. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"What?" Wendy Lim frowned too.

Charlie Hogg sneered, "I hate women who like playing tricks. The more real a woman was, the more adorable she will be. It seemed that her self-esteem, which she had kept for a long time, had been thrown to the ground by him, and he even stepped on it.

"Mr. Hogg!" Wendy Lim gnashed her teeth and looked straight into his black eyes, "I didn't play a cat and mouse game, or any other tricks! Whether you ask me for the three times or the thirtieth times,

my answer will not change! Perhaps there are so many women who want to crawl to your feet and get on your bed, but I refuse to do!"

Charlie Hogg stared at her.

He was thinking and judging, which could be recognized from his deep dark eyes.

After a long time, the force from Charlie Hogg suddenly disappeared. He moved back to his seat. There was a sound of the lighter produced a flame, and then the smell of smoke spread again in the car.

After keeping silent for a while, Charlie Hogg turned to her again with a meaningful expression, "There's still time. I can wait. You will beg me one day."

"No worries! I won't! Never!" Wendy Lim clenched her hands and said with conviction.

The air inside the car suddenly became heavy.

No man could bear the repeated provocation of a woman, especially a man like him who had superiority in all aspects.

Charlie Hogg took a deep drag on his cigarette, and his eyes were burning with rage.

However, when his thin lips moved, he said in a calm voice, “Wendy Lim, you can never say never." "Even if you beg me in the future, I have to think twice."

Wendy Lim’s heart trembled.

Somehow, she felt an invisible claw was stretching to her.

Watching he snubbed out the cigarette, Wendy Lim felt that his patience was gone.

"Get off my car, now!"

Wendy Lim heard the sound of unlocking the car doors. She gritted her teeth and reached out one hand to open the door.

She returned home on the top floor and lit the room. She looked down through the window, and found that the white Land Rover was still there.

The taillights of the car flashed twice, and then it disappeared gradually from her sight. However, the pressure that Charlie Hogg brought to her didn't disappear. She felt an inexplicable scare surging in her mind...

At night, the city lit up. Wendy Lim put on her uniform and worked in the bar.

It was still early and there were not many guests. So Wendy Lim was not very busy.

When Wendy Lim came out of the bathroom, she saw a slender tall man at the door. He didn't dress in a casual way. He looked very professional in a black suit, but he kept a grin on his face.

She blinked and asked, "Ewan? Do you come here to fritter away money again?"

It was quite normal to meet Ewan Shaw in this bar.

"No, I come to see you today." Ewan Shaw waved his hand.

"What's the matter?" Wendy Lim looked at him.

"I’ll fly to New York for a business trip at ten. It's a knotty problem so I'll be back in two or three weeks.

I come to say goodbye to you now in case you will miss me so much!" Ewan Shaw was knocking on his watch.

Wendy Lim snorted, "So you dressed like this?"

"Hey! Should I be careless and casual every day? “Ewan Shaw grinned. He paused for a while and then continued in a serious tone, "Wendy Lim, Felix is in New York now and I’ll meet him there... Should I tell him something about you?"

Wendy Linn's heart skipped a beat when she heard the name. She shook her head immediately, "No!"

"..." Ewan Shaw frowned and stared at her.

Wendy Lim said with an expression of stubborn determination," Ewan Shaw, don't forget you've promised me!"

"Okay!" Ewan Shaw nodded reluctantly.

Wendy Lim was relieved, but she couldn't control the bitterness in her mind.

"By the way, you called me the night before yesterday..."

"Ah!" Wendy Lim patted her head, "I forgot to say thanks to you!" "Thank me for what?" Ewan Shaw confused.

Wendy Lim was also puzzled, "I called you, and then..."

"I met two comrades-in-arms that day, and we went to a bar together that night. Later, I received your call, and you asked if I could help you. However, I didn’t hear the details clearly, and then my cellphone was turned off due to low power!" Ewan Shaw recalled what happened that night and asked her, "What can I do for you at midnight?"

"Nothing..." Wendy Lim shook her head slowly.

The confusion in her mind spread like weeds.

If it was not Ewan Shaw, who would it be?

With Yolanda Lim's interference, the police couldn't release her before they found out the truth. Moreover, the policewoman had clearly stated that someone had helped her...

But who had helped her?

A clearly defined face emerged in Wendy Lim’s mind.

The next day was the weekend. After Wendy Lim finished her part-time job during the daytime, she went to the hospital.

When she arrived at the ward, her grandmother was still sleeping, with a needle on the back of her right hand. But she looked better.

The old lady, who had a lung disease in the next bed, coughed every few minutes. Although there was a curtain between the beds, it couldn’t insulate the noise. Wendy Lim could only pat on her grandma's arm gently to help her grandma sleep well.

The sun shined through the window and cast a shadow on her grandma’s face.

She didn't get enough money for her grandma's second operation, and her father Johnny Urn's phone was still off.

Wendy Lim felt a lot of pressure, but she would not and could not give up.

Her mother lived in the hospital before the end of her life. At that time, her mother worn out by the mistress of her father. Her mother couldn't sleep at night, and she needed to rely on the medicine to maintain consciousness.

Her mother held Wendy Lim's hands and said a lot to her. When her mother finished the last sentence, she kissed Wendy Lim’s forehead and gave her some money to buy a donut. At that time, Wendy Lim was so naive and couldn't understand the sorrow in her mother's red eyes. When Wendy Lim went back, she could only watch her mother jumped off from the tall building...

Her mother's last words: Wendy, please take good care of your grandma in the future!

Wendy Lim avoided the needle and held her grandma's wrinkled hand tightly.

She told herself that she wouldn't let her grandma die.

Her eyelashes became wet. There were some sounds coming from the bed. Then, she heard an old lady's voice, "Wendy, shall we leave the hospital?"
