Chapter 35: Did I spoil you Too Much?
The rise of the sun meant a new lease on life. But today, everything was unpredictable.
When Wendy went downstairs after taking a shower, the house suddenly became much emptier. She was a little unaccustomed to it and slowly approached Rex, who was eating breakfast and reading the news. She asked, “Where are Uncle John and the others?”
“A fixed vacation. There’s no one at home.”
There was hot milk and freshly fried eggs on the table. She couldn’t help asking, “Did you make breakfast?”
Rex’s gaze was fascinating as he looked at her and smiled. “Do you think I would cook myself?”
Wendy pursed her lips, pulled open a stool, and sat down.
“Take the bus to school today. I have something to do at the company, so I’ll go first.”
Rex had always been a decisive person and didn’t need any reason. Moreover, he had no obligation to take her to and from school all the time.
Sometimes, a person was used to being doted on. Once he was neglected, he felt as if his heart had been hollowed out. Although it didn’t hurt or itch, the thought of it would affect his whole nerves.
After Wendy ate breakfast, she walked to the bus stop sign by herself and dug out her pocket, which was cleaner than her face. Under the sun, her face was bright and beautiful, but it was also dyed with a trace of embarrassment.
Because she was used to Rex’s existence, she didn’t bring any money with her when she went out. Seeing that the bus was coming, she was as anxious like a cat on hot bricks.
She assessed her surroundings to see if there was an ATM. As a result, when she turned around, she saw Justin. The smile on his lips was dazzling, but it made her feel uncomfortable for no reason at all.
“I didn’t think that I’d run into you here, Wendy.” Justin took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Wendy smiled indifferently and said, “Oh, what a coincidence.”
Ever since Justin had stopped Sethur from slandering her the last time, Wendy had changed her opinion of him.
Truth be told, he was not in the wrong. The only mistake was that he had appeared at the wrong time. After all, what was wrong with liking someone?
Justin stared at her for quite a while before he finally came back to his senses, “Let’s go.”
Wendy bit her lip.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Forget it! I’ll just have to trouble he once.
“Can you lend me some money? I’ll pay you back later,” Wendy said apologetically.
Justin said, “I’ll pay for you.”
“Thank you!”
In the car not far away, a sharp gaze sent the two of them to the bus while they were talking and laughing. Rex said, “Let’s go back to the company.”
Clare asked, “Mr. Gavyn, did you forget today is a day off for all employees? It was you that specifically give us this instructions yesterday.”
“Mm,” Rex said coldly. “In that case, inform them that everyone is to return to the company and work overtime tonight.”
Clare saw Rex’s gloomy gaze in the rearview mirror and couldn’t help shivering. Mrs. Gavyn was so powerful that she could make the president make such a decision with just a few words.
It seemed that he had to curry favor with Mrs. Gavyn in the future.
After Wendy arrived at the school, she came up with a reason to separate from Justin and entered the school one after another. However, as soon as she stepped into the school, she was stunned.
Every time she passed by a place, someone would point at her and say something dirty. It was harsh to her ears. When she looked carefully, the campus was full of photos of her, and there was a man in the photos.
Wasn’t this……
Wasn’t this the scene when Rex came to pick her up yesterday? In the photo, she was sitting in the gorgeous car, and Rex was taken blurry. No one knew if it was intentional or not.
“Did you see that? It’s her! She doesn’t know how to behave properly.”
“From her appearance, I can tell that she’s already in a hurry when she sees a man.”
“That said, it must be said that she is quite good-looking.”
“That’s right, a vixen’s face.”
Wendy stood at the school bulletin board, and more and more people gathered around her. Some people even began to touch her. Justin just watched and did not stop them. In the past, it was just a rumor, but now that this photo had been exposed, Wendy’s improper behavior had been confirmed.
Wendy, I never thought that you were such a person.
Wendy didn’t want to stay in the classroom for even a second longer at those indiscreet words that lingered in her ears. This kind of vulgar framing could only have been done by one person. The reason why she hadn’t retaliated wasn’t because she felt that it was unnecessary, but because she had no way to.
She could not reveal her relationship with Rex in front of everyone. To put it bluntly, she would probably become the laughing stock of the school at that time, laughing at her whimsical thoughts.
Rex had always been a lofty and unreachable person. Now, it seemed that it was unfair for him to marry her.
Sethur couldn’t suppress the smile tugging at the corner of her lips. She was overwhelmed with joy the entire day. She hadn’t expected that she, Wendy, would end up like this.
However, once a person’s desire took root in their bones, it would germinate and grow. Sethur thought that maybe Justin would really belong to her if Wendy was completely destroyed Wendy.
“Wait for me after school. I’ll pick you up after the meeting.”
Wendy held her phone tightly, and all the resentment that she had accumulated for the whole day welled up inside her. She called him directly.
Upon seeing the incoming call, Rex left the meeting room at once. Everyone watched him leave in a daze.
Clare, on the other hand, was well aware that the only person in the world who could cause the Mr. Gavyn to lose his cool was his wife.
“Hello?”
Wendy bit her lip and questioned, “Did I force you to pick me up?”
Rex was confused. “What are you talking about?”
“Rex, do you also think I’m cheap?”
This was the first time that Wendy had taken the initiative to call him, and every word she said was making things difficult for him. Wendy, did I spoil you too much?
Rex raised his voice and said coldly, “Yes.”
Wendy held the phone and her tears flowed uncontrollably. “So…… even you thought so.”
After that, a beeping tone came from the other end of the line.
This woman! How dare she hang up on him!
She turned off her cell phone and walked aimlessly on the street. She didn’t know how long she had walked and where she had walked. She only knew that it was dark.
The street lamps were dim and yellow and they covered Wendy’s thin body. Her shadow was stretched so long that one could not see the end of it.
As she walked, she suddenly remembered that Rex wasn’t like this when he was young.
She and her mother had lived in the countryside for a period of time. It was not until the Walters Family brought them over that they settled down in Jena City.
In her childhood, she had no father, no siblings, and had pitifully few playmates. The only person she remembered was her first love, but he had long forgotten those youthful days.
When they met again, they had both changed. Rex no longer remembered her.
