Chapter 183: PDA
"What?!"
Luke exclaimed incredulously and added, "Now?"
Wendy nodded and replied, "Yes."
At that moment, Roger and Ryan looked at her in disapproval.
"Wendy, you're on the hot seat right now.If something happens to Oakley, you're the first person the reporters would suspect.It'll be even worse for you," Roger advised.
"He's right, Wendy.You have to calm down.It may be easy to deal with him, but we can't do it right now, especially when everyone's eyes are on him.It's bad to make a move at this moment."
Among them, only Ryan did not protest, perplexing Wendy.
"Ryan, aren't you curious why I'm doing this?"
"Well, you do things for a reason.Whatever reason it may be, I believe in you."
‘'I believe in you..."
Ryan's words echoed in Wendy's mind and warmed her heart.She was being slandered right now.
Although Ryan did not know if Oakley was saying the truth or not, he still chose to believe her.
Because of this, tears welled up in Wendy's eyes.She wiped them off and stifled a sob.
Once she got ahold of herself, she rolled her eyes and glared at Luke and Roger.
"Who said I would ask you to catch Oakley to teach him a lesson?" she asked sharply.
"Uh..." Luke scratched his head in response.
It seemed that he had misunderstood her intention.
"I just want someone to get a strand of his hair!" Wendy confessed.
Upon hearing that, Luke looked at her, confusion written all over his face.
"That's easy, but what do you need his hair for?"
Of course, she was planning to have it tested to know if Oakley was really Ray's father.
Truth be told, when Wendy first heard that Oakley was claiming to be her son's father, she did think that it was possible.
But now that she had finally calmed down, she analyzed the possibility carefully and thought his words through.
Ray did not look like Oakley at all.
Because of this, Wendy suspected that that man must have only been sent by Cacia to slander her.
He might not actually be the man whom she had had sex with four years ago.
Anyway, she had to confirm it nevertheless.
"Wendy"
Before Luke could finish his words, Ryan interrupted him.
"Luke! Stop asking questions and just do as she says."
Luke was speechless.He could not help but be upset.It was said that a person would care less about their original family once they got married and started their own family.Luke did not expect that Ryan, his brother, would be partial to the woman he loved this soon.Luke did not say anything anymore.
Albeit indignant, he immediately made a call.
About ten minutes later, he received a call back from a bodyguard.
"Did you get it? Good.Give it to me now," he said in a serious and urgent tone.
The bodyguard arrived about thirty minutes later and immediately handed over the locks of Oakley's hair.
They were placed in a transparent, sealed bag, and it was full for some reason.Upon seeing that, Wendy's mouth fell open.
‘'Did they shave Oakley's head bald?’' she wondered.
Luke took the bag gingerly and asked, "Are you sure this is Oakley's hair?"
"Absolutely! We ambushed him outside the TV station.He tried to run away when the reporters were gone.Fortunately, we managed to catch him and drag him into an alley.I don't know how much you want, so we plucked a lot just to be sure."
A scene popped in Luke's mind upon hearing that.
In a dark alley, several brawny men in crisp, black suits and leather shoes plucked Oakley's hair as though plucking feathers from a helpless chicken.
It must have hurt.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Luke even tried to imagine the way Oakley screamed in pain.As he imagined how amusing it could have been, a sly smiled tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Luke gave the bodyguard a thumbs up and remarked, "Well done! I'll be sure to double your bonus for this month."
"Thank you, sir!"
As they talked, Wendy silently put the bag of hair into her bag.
All of a sudden, a piece of sauteed shrimp appeared on her plate.
Surprised, she turned to look at Ryan and saw that he was retracting his chopsticks.
He must have been the one who put it there.
How caring!
"Let's eat!"
"Okay!"
Wendy had to test if Oakley's words were true.
If it was, she might have to quit showbiz and give up her passion.
Even so, she felt somehow at ease because Ryan was with her.
She believed she could conquer anything with him.
'I must say, even though he has a cold demeanor and talks a little, he gives me peace and security.' Wendy cupped her chin in her hands and gazed at Ryan with a smile.
Seeing her staring at him, Ryan furrowed his brows and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry as long as I'm seeing you." Ryan raised his eyebrows.
But before he could say anything, Luke exclaimed, "Really? Are you saying that seeing him makes you lose your appetite?"
Frustrated, Wendy rolled her eyes and glared at him.
"Luke, I'm impressed by your low apprehension," she retorted through gritted teeth.
'Uh...Isn't that what she means?' Luke scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Then...what do you mean by that?"
Ryan also looked at her, waiting for her explanation.
At that moment, Wendy looked into Ryan's eyes.
To his surprise, she suddenly smiled brightly and answered, "I'm not hungry, because I'm full! I'm full because I get to see your handsome face!"
Ryan was stunned, but his eyes looked as though they were exploding with happiness.He picked up another piece of shrimp and put it on her plate again.
"Good girl.Now, have one more!" he said in an unusually gentle and loving tone.
"Okay!"
Wendy gladly accepted the shrimp.
It was only then that she felt physically hungry.
Roger and Luke, on the other hand, seemed to have lost their appetite.Wendy, who was holding her bowl of rice and eating to her heart's content, looked at the two and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
The two looked at each other and replied in unison, "We're full."
Wendy was confused.
They had not eaten, much less moved their chopsticks.
How could they be already full? Sensing her confusion, the corners of Luke's mouth twitched, and he explained, "We're full after witnessing your PDA."Wendy was speechless.
Embarrassed, she looked at the sky and wondered, '’Was that really a PDA? That can't be.I wasn't being affectionate, was I?”
In the end, it was Wendy who ate the most.It was almost 10:30 in the evening when they finished eating.
As they were about to go home, Luke suddenly received a call.
He must have received unpleasant news as his face turned darker the more he listened to the other end of the line.
"What the fuck?! Of course, drive them away! Why do you have to ask me that? Do your fucking job! If they disturb Ray and Precious, you won't have a job to go to tomorrow!"
With that, Luke hung up the phone.
Everyone was looking at him expectantly, wanting to know what had just happened.
But before they could ask, Luke reported, "Apparently, reporters have turned up at the villa.I don't know how and where they got to know that Wendy is living in the Ensfield.Right now, several entrances to the Ensfield have been blocked by reporters.Don't worry.I've already ordered the security to drive them away."
Upon hearing that, Wendy's face changed, and she looked more apprehensive than ever.
"Are Ray and Precious fine?" she asked Luke anxiously.
"Fortunately, yes.The servants said that Ray and Precious are already asleep," Ryan replied instead.
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.
At least now, she was relieved that the two kids were safe.
However, it perplexed Wendy that Ryan had not contacted anyone while they were together.
She put her bag on her back, moved closer to him, and casually asked, "When did you call the servant?"
"A few hours ago.I called them the instant that man showed up and disturbed the live broadcast."
Wendy was stunned.
All of a sudden, Luke moved close to her and said, "Ryan immediately called the house to ask if the kids had gone to bed.If not, he would ask the servant to turn off the WiFi.He was afraid the kids would be worried if they saw the bad news about you."
Wendy was touched at how caring Ryan was.
Her eyes turned red, and she almost shed tears.
Nobody had any idea how his gesture touched her heart.
With tearful eyes, she tugged Ryan's sleeve and looked at him in the eye.
"Ryan..."
He looked back at her and gently stroked her head in response.His considerate gestures deeply moved Wendy.
In just a few hours, a lot of things had happened, and most of them were unpleasant and damaging.
Even so, Ryan took the initiative to take care of the other things, so she would not have to stress over it.Wendy could no longer restrain her feelings for him.
She could not help but wonder, 'Where else can I find such another good man like him?”
She had now made up her mind.If one day Ryan's feelings for her disappeared, she would pursue him instead.She could not let him go anymore.
