Chapter 110
"It's okay.1' Charlie took it over and looked at it. He threw it on the table and said, "The charger is in my car. No rush. I'll change it later."
"Dr. Chin called..."
Wendy opened her mouth, but her voice was covered by the staff's, "Mr. Hogg, where do you want to put the TV on?"
Charlie stood up and walked back and forth between the bed and the wall. He pointed at the wall and said, "Put it here. Don't be too low. It's not good for grandma's neck if she watches TV on the bed." "Alright!"
The two staff started to install the TV.
As they were installing, they asked, "Mr. Hogg, is it OK if we put it here?"
"Higher please."
"What about now?"
"Okay."
After Charlie nodded, the staff began to drill on the wall. They installed the TV on the wall very quickly. When they packed up their tools, they handed a receipt to Wendy and asked her to sign. After signing, Wendy sent them out.
During this short period of time, several neighbors had been coming to her home. There were not many people in the countryside, so the news spread quickly. The neighbors come to see the big TV. When Wendy came back, Charlie had taken off his gloves and was testing the TV with the remote control.
"Look, here is a TV? I can watch this one!"
Grandma stood next to him and kept sighing, "You didn't need to buy a new one, especially such a big one. It must be very expensive!"
"The store is doing a promotion. It's not expensive." Charlie answered and pointed at the small TV on the table, "And that is a monochromatic TV. Grandma, you're going to live here for a long time. Your eyes will hurt if you watched that one for a long time."
"Okay, okay! Charlie, thank you!" Grandma answered with a big smile.
"My pleasure." Charlie curled his lips.
When Wendy entered the bedroom, he was walking out with a bulb, "I'll change the bulb."
"Oh..." She nodded.
However, her eyes were fixed on him.
She watched him walked to the small living room, easily lifted the heavy chair, took off his leather shoes, stood on it, removed the lampshade, and then changed the bulb... Suddenly, a phone vibrated.
Wendy's heart skipped a beat, but it was her phone in her pocket this time.
She took it out and found that it was a text message. When she saw the sender clearly, she frowned. It was from Yolanda.
Wendy didn't know whether she should delete or read it. At last, she decided to read it. There are several messages from her. "Wendy, let's wait and see!"
"Do you think Charlie can protect you, so you can do whatever what?"
"Let me tell you, even if Charlie will not marry me, he will never marry you! He just plays with you. Do you see the woman's photo? This is his real fiancee!"
Then, a photo came in.
There was only a woman's side face in the photo, but she was very beautiful. She wore a Chanel dress, which made her look graceful and decent. Her white fingers went through her long curly hair. She seemed to be laughing, and there was a small dimple on her cheek.
Wendy could imagine the picture of that woman and Charlie standing together, they were a perfect match.
Wendy suddenly remembered that when they were in the Hogg's Group, she asked Charlie if he would marry Yolanda, he answered in a disdainful and indifferent tone, "Marrying her? She doesn't deserve it!" Looking at the woman in the photo again, she finally understood why he said that.
Wendy suddenly turned back and turned off her phone. Her forehead was sweating, and she felt cold on her body. Her fingers couldn't help trembling.
"Charlie hasn't stopped since he came back. Hurry up and bring some water for him!"
Grandma saw that she stood still for a long time, so she pushed her forward and continued, "You should thank Charlie. It was not because he bought me a big TV, but he cared about us. Wendy, Charlie is a great boyfriend..."
"He is not!" Wendy suddenly interrupted.
Seeing grandma's astonished look, Wendy realized that she had overreacted. She bit her lips and said, "I'm sorry, grandma..."
"What's wrong with you?" Grandma looked at her in surprise.
"It's okay. I'm going to bring some water..." Wendy shook her head and left with her head lowered.
She boiled the water with a big pot in the kitchen, and the water was ready soon.
Charlie, who had changed the bulb, came to the kitchen to get a basin of water and carried it back to his bedroom. He seemed to have sweated a lot and was going to wipe himself with water. Wendy kept adding firewood into the stove.
The firewood was burning and some smoke coming out of stove, which made her eyes sore.
She looked up at Grandma sitting in the small living room and then at Charlie who had just stepped into the bedroom. She suddenly felt flustered.
To warm his bed, and to come when he needed...
This was Charlie's request to her. At that time, she gave up her self-esteem and sell her body to him because grandma was in the hospital and she really needed money.
But now, grandma had recovered well and left the hospital, so what was she going to do now...
Simon's words and Yolanda's messages came to Wendy's mind again. She felt a little out of breath.
When she stood up, she stumbled because she had squatted for a long time.
"Creak-"
The door of the bedroom was pushed open by Wendy slowly.
Charlie was standing by the bed with his back against her. His shirt had been taken off, revealing the muscles on his back.
The setting sun shined in through the window. He turned around when he heard the sounds. When he saw her, he turned back and continued to wring the towel in his hand. Wendy held the handle of the door tightly and said, "Charlie."
"Come here and help me wipe my back!"
Charlie didn't look back but asked her to help directly.
Wendy walked to him and took over the towel in his hand, but she didn't move.
Charlie waited for a while and turned around impatiently. His eyes were full of impatience which was familiar to her.
Wendy swallowed. Even if she was wearing a pair of flat heels, her legs were trembling.
She kept breathing deeply until she had the courage to meet his deep eyes. She opened her mouth and made a great effort to make a sound, "Let's end the trade between us..."
Charlie's face darkened.
"Once again!"
