Super Sweetheart of the CEO Daddy -
Chapter 1696
On the way, she felt that it was a long time, and every second seemed to be tormented. At this moment, Wendy felt that the time was short. In the small car, she could snuggle up in hisarms, and she hoped tha this road would be longer and have more time.
Duke's heart was beating very quickly. His eyes were focusedon the road ahead. He helped Masi to watch the road together. The girl in hisarms was asleep. The surrounding was especially quiet. The car had been driving for a long time, and he believedthat all this was true. Even the temperature in the girl's arms was so real. Duke lowered his head and stared at Wendy. She must have been sleepy. She closed her eyes with ease. The light in the car was very dark, but he could see her clearly and found her mouth was slightly raised seeming that she was smiling. Duke could not help smiling.
The weather in the mountains was strange. Suddenly, there was a strong wind. The wind swayed the trees on the side of the road. From the distance, there was a sound like a monster. It was very horrible in the night.
Wendy trembled for a moment, then immediately woke up and looked up at the window and asked, "What's wrong?"
Dukereached out to gently comfort her back. "Nothing, it's going to rain."
Wendy listened calmly for a while. As expected, there was thunder in the distance. She could only hide in the man's arms again, her hands covering her ears. "Are you afraid?" Seeing her panic, Duke asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid of thunder. And I think that I can't evenhide in such a place." Wendy was born in awe of life and death, so she would be chilled by such a natural disaster. Duke comforted hergently: "Don't be afraid, there's a station ahead. If it really rains, we can hide there for a while."
Wendy listened to his words and stunned. "Are you very familiar with this area?"
Duke nodded, "Of course, I have stayed here for a few years and my steps have almost covered every mountain here."
"That's really hard work." Wendywas heart-broken. Her small hand couldn't help clenching his fingers.
Duke was stunned for a moment. He was touched. Someone cared about himself, which was a wonderful thing.
"Itis my duty. It doesn't matter whether it's hard or not. There are some things that people will do." Dukeintentionally made his tone easier.
"But I still feel that your work is so great," said Wendyfirmly.
Duketouched her face and teased her, "Have you ever wondered why I chose this job?"
Wendy was initially confused. When she heard his words, she was more puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Dukewas suddenly a little embarrassed. His fingers were only lightly on her palm, but hedidnot answer.
"Answer me!" Wendy mumbled, but he spoke imperatively.
Duke laughed, "I won't tell you now. You will know later."
"Well, you're supposedto tell me sooner or later." Wendy could not be fooled. Since he said it, she had to know it.
Duke was helpless.
There was a white line in the sky. The thunder was approaching and everyone in the car was awake. Everyone looked out of the window in a panic. Duketook the walkie-talkie and instructed the two cars in front of him to rest. Therefore, all the cars headed towards the stationnot too far away.
The stationwas not small. There were four or five bungalows. At each time period, someone was on guard. When they see the car logo, they immediately let it go.
When the car stopped, Cathy jumped out of the car in a hurry. Her eyes were fixed on the last car. Wendy was originally lying in Duke's arms, but at this moment, she sat up straight. When the door opened, Wendy got off full of energy. She was about to take his backpack. But Duke had reached out for her, only to realize that her backpack was heavy.
"What is in it?" Duke frowned and asked her in a low voice.
"A computer and some other valuables."Wendyreplied.
Duke's heart was a little broken again. How did such a thin body carry such heavy things here?
Cathy looked at Wendy's smile towards Duke. She suddenly felt annoyed. She walked over to Duke and said, "Teacher Duke, thank you for coming to pick us up in person. I'm gladto see you here." Duke replied indifferently: "You are here for charity, I support you. It's a good thing that you brought hope to such a remote mountainous area to benefit more children."
"Really? If we were in trouble in the future, can we ask for your help? Cathy immediately became happy, feeling that the distance between herand Duke was much shorter. Dukenodded: "Of course, if you need help, you can ask for help. As long as there is a need, we have no obligation."
Cathy was in a good mood, but she seemed to have misunderstood a word. Duke said that she had something ask the base's help but did not say that she could replace him directly.
It's time for dinner. The staffs of the station cook dinner for them. Wendy stood in front of the window, watching the rain, but she had calmed down. No matter how strong the storm was outside the window, she had already come to his side. As long as she could see him, why would she be afraid of the storm?
Duke was chatting with the leaderof the stationin a room next to the room. The charity staff and a few volunteers were busy. They were checking the supplies to be released. Only Wendy and Cathy were idle. Cathy looked at the Wendy resentfully. She thought that Wendywould be happy for a year because she had the chance to sit with Duke on the way.
"Wendy, I know why you're here, but I still remind you that you've come to the wrong place." Cathy took the opportunity to walk to Wendy's side and said to her.
Wendy knew that Cathy would try her best to exclude herself. She was not surprised. When she heard Wendy's reminder, she just said a word. And then she ignored her.
Cathy regards Wendy's indifference as ridicule, and she was even angrier, "Do you think you can make him love you? You're so naive."
"You're also very naive. At school, I didn't see that TeacherDukewas special to you. You dare to come, why can't I come? At least, TeacherDuke helped me out several times at school." Wendysaid. Cathylaughed and said, "Teacher Duke saved me once."
"When?" Wendy surprised.
"Why should I tell you?" Cathy said disapprovingly. "Now we're completingfairly, but I still have to remind you that there are a lot of women who like Duke. Are you sure you can beat them?" "Duke is a person. He's not a thing. Besides, it is meaningless to discuss about it. In the end, we still have to respect his choice. Cathy, answerme a question. If Duke has a woman he likes, will you leave? "Wendy could finally replace a chance to ask.
Cathy's face turned pale, and she stared at Wendy angrily: "You want to tell me that the woman he likes is you, it's really shameless."
Wendy had not said anything, but Cathy had guessed it. She was speechless.
"Why can't it be me? My family and Duke's family have known each other for a long time. Besides, I have known him for a long time."Oh? Do you know what my relationship is with Teacher Duke? Her aunt is my cousin's wife and I've seen him whenl was young." Cathy also revealed a truth.
Wendy stunned.
