Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 407
One weekday afternoon.
After having lunch with Larry, Wendy came out alone from the villa. Uncle Lee parked Mercedes in front of a relatively remote cafe.
Not long after she got off the car, her cell phone rang.
As expected, "Charlie" was shown on the screen.
This man, he really kept her in a tight grip.
After the line was connected, Charlie asked in a calm voice, "Are you going to see Uncle Gray?"
"Yes." Wendy did not avoid this subject. Actually, she deliberately did not tell him about this, because she was afraid he would object or maybe he would come with her. That would be ridiculous. She was just sending a German translation of the novel to Kim.
Charlie was naturally not very pleasant on the other side, and Wendy didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact that he was jealous all the time.
She pushed open the door of the cafe, there was the sound of wind chimes, and she took the opportunity to say, "I can't talk about it now, I'm going in! We'll it when we get back!"
After that, she boldly hung up the phone and muted it.
The cafe was located in the alley of an old urban area, the facade was ordinary, but there were whole rows and rows of bookshelves after entering. It was very quiet, only the sound of a very soft piano. Wendy looked up and saw Kim who was sitting on the second floor smiling at her.
"Mr. Gray!"
"Miss Lim, have a seat!"
Kim hurriedly greeted her and then pointed to the white porcelain cup in front of her. "I just ordered a cup of cappuccino for you. You girls should all love this, right?"
"Thank you!" Wendy said gratefully with a smile.
"Miss Lim, have you brought that novel here?"
Kim did not wait for her to take the initiative, he could not wait to speak, it is clear that he really wanted to read this novel. She nodded her head and said, "Here it is. I'll give it to you now!" When she took it out of her bag, Kim had already reached out to catch it with both hands.
He spread the book in his palm, his eyes glowing as he looked at it, unable to hide his excitement, "It's really the original version of 'Ansichten eines Clowns'. That's great!"
"Because it's a bit old, the paper inside is yellow and brittle, I hope Mr. Gray can be careful when reading it!" Wendy smiled and said, "Because this book is important to me, too!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely be careful with it!" Kim promised with a sincere look.
Seeing this, Wendy was not worried. It could be seen that Kim was a person who loved books, and he took the book and put it into a kraft paper bag very carefully.
After calming down the excitement a little, Kim took a sip of coffee and asked her, "Miss Lim, the last time I mentioned this book, I wanted to ask you about this, do you like this novel very much or have you watched this movie?"
Wendy explained, "In fact, it's my..."
"Honey, why didn't you ask me to come out for a coffee? Such a leisurely and elegant thing!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a female voice of some age and experience.
An elegant noblewoman was walking up from the stairs, her hair pulled into a high bun at the back of her head, looking even more haughty and not easy to approach, holding a famous brand's handbag in her hand. It looked like she wasn't here for coffee at all.
Wendy frowned as she looked in the direction of the voice.
It was Madge's mother...
Although the number of times they met was not much, four years ago this Mrs. Lu didn't leave a very good impression on Wendy. The first time they met in Hogg's Mansion, she spiced up in front of Gilbert, and the second time they met in the mall, she interrogated Wendy about Wendy's family without the slightest respect...
Moreover, Wendy can be sure that this woman was not as forgiving and open-minded as Kim. And Wendy's current relationship with Charlie also put her in a slightly awkward position at this time. Linda came to the table and was really surprised to see her.
"It's you!"
Kim frowned. "Linda, do you know Miss Lim too?"
Linda stared hard at Wendy, and clenched her fingers hard as she carried her bag.
At noon, Kim answered a phone and it leaked slightly. She heard a young female voice on the other side of the line. With a woman's natural keen intuition, she was immediately nervous. Plus, her daughter Madge had surreptitiously told her that her husband and Wendy had already met...
She could not stay at home any longer, so she asked the driver to follow Kim.
Watching the two of them sitting face-to-face and laughing, Linda couldn't help but panic!
"How can I not know her!" Linda laughed coldly, "Kim, our daughter is at home every day, she doesn't want to eat and drink, you don't know why, do you? It's Miss Lim, who repeatedly robbed our fancy son-in- law!"
"I already know this, although we are Madge's parents, I think we'd better stay out of it!" Kim said gently.
"Kim!" Linda was very angry with him, "Madge is your daughter, how can you help an outsider!"
After all, it was he who asked Wendy out because he wanted to borrow a book, and he did not want to make Wendy too embarrassed, so he looked at his wife with displeasure, "Linda, I have something to talk with Miss Lim. You go back first!" "No!" Linda, of course, refused. She pointed at Wendy and said, "I won't allow you to meet her!"
"Linda, when did you become so unreasonable!" Kim frowned and glanced at her fiercely.
Linda was amazed, so many years they were considered to be respectful of each other, she had not been accused by him like this, but at this moment, she could not give in. She laughed coldly on purpose, "Well, I said I won't allow it! Miss Lim's really bold, one man clearly can't satisfy you. What, it's not enough that you stole my daughter's fiance, now you're stealing my husband!"
"You..." Wendy's face turned pale.
"Shut up! That's nonsense!" Kim's angry voice had been the first to ring out.
Linda said mockingly, "Why are you so angry? Kim, I think you're getting old, you're starting to pay attention to the little girl now!"
"Miss Lim is the same age as our daughter, what are you talking about? Don't you know what kind of a person I am? Don't let me hear any more words from your mouth that you shouldn't say, it's degrading!" Kim stood up from his seat and was a little angry.
"Of course I know who you are. It's been more than 20 years since we got married, and Kim, you should be sorry for me!" Linda continued her harsh words as if there was no end to them, "Now you're fascinated by a little girl, and come to such a romantic cafe for a date. Bah, both of you are shameless! Miss Lim, it seems that the children without mother education are different, so shameless!" "Linda Scott!" Kim shouted angrily.
He couldn't stay any longer for fear that his wife would say something more unpleasant. He looked at Wendy with embarrassment and said, "Sorry Miss Lim, that's all for today. I'll return the book to you when I'm done with it!"
"Alright..." Wendy grudgingly nodded her head.
Linda did not continue to scream, her purpose had been achieved, she just did not want her husband and Wendy to stay together.
She allowed Kim to pull her arm, get out of the coffee shop, and get in the car.
Wendy was waiting for a few minutes before she got up and went downstairs.
She didn't call Uncle Lee. She thought that this place was close to the apartment building, so she wanted to take a look at her bestie, Emily, by the way. Then she went to the side of the road and reached out to get a cab.
Linda's behavior made her very uncomfortable, but she didn't want to think about it, because she and Kim were open and honest. However, she was thinking about something else.
Just like that day at the door of the restaurant, when Madge saw her and Kim, Madge's reaction was almost the same as Linda's. Both the mother and daughter were surprised, and they seemed to be a little panicked...
When she was out of her mind, a car quietly stopped beside her. Wendy thought she had delayed the private car stop, wanted to take two steps forward and then continue to get a cab, only just as her feet lifted, a hand suddenly reached out from the car door and yanked her roughly into the car, followed by a handkerchief covering her mouth.
