Chapter 21 Old Friends
Wendy was also stunned for a long time, and then reacted, "Ellis, what are you doing?"
"Don't you remember me?" Ellis didn't intend to let go of Wendy, but curled up on her shoulder and said gently.
Wendy couldn't help trembling again, how many times had Ellis asked such a question?
"Don't you remember Thomas, who has been bullied by you since childhood?" Ellis whispered to Wendy. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Thomas?
It seemed that there was a current going through Wendy's nerves from top to bottom. Thomas was an indispensable person in her childhood!
At that time, as the monitor of the class, Wendy had always been the king of children, so everyone had to listen to her. Only Thomas, who was thin and weak, was not as tall as her at that time! But he always went against Wendy and got bullied by her again and again.
But now... Ellis in front of her said that he was the little boy called Thomas at that time?
How could Wendy not be surprised? She got out of Ellis's arms and looked at his gentle face in surprise.
Wendy couldn't help but smile, "It's really you! You're soft persimmon! "
Hearing the words "soft persimmon", the two of them smiled at each other and burst into laughter.
The name was given by Wendy, which was also the nickname given to Thomas at that time.
After the laughter, Ellis pulled Wendy to sit down on the soft European style sofa, the curiosity was surging in Wendy's heart. "Alas! Why did you change your name! How cute was the name of Thomas at that time? "
Ellis, of course, sensed the ridicule in Wendy's tone, he just frowned slightly, but didn't seem to be angry. He just licked his lips and said, "Well, you know, I live with my mother at that time. My mother just named me in that way casually. Then my father found me and helped me change my name. "
Wendy nodded and said with a smile, "I see! No wonder you... Just looked like the girlish little boy!"
No wonder!
No wonder when she first met Ellis, she felt a sense of familiarity. When the two went out to send documents together, he knew that the gentle and virtuous look on her face was not her original character, but her real character was... No wonder...
All the doubts seemed to be cleared up at this moment!
"What? It turns out that I have always been like this in your heart. " Pretending to be angry, Ellis turned over and trapped Wendy, who was curling up on the sofa.
"Ah..." Obviously, Wendy didn't expect the gentle and elegant Ellis to be so strong and powerful.
With just a flip of his body, Wendy was pressed under Ellis's body, the soft sofa wrapped the two people. In front of her was Ellis's angular face, and his deep eyes were more like an ocean at the moment, as if they could drag people into them.
"Ellis, you..." Wendy was stiff and dared not move, she looked at Ellis stiffly, she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
"Shh!" Ellis suddenly exhaled gently with a gentle smile on his face.
Ellis bent down slowly, Wendy didn't know what Ellis was going to do next.
Kiss her?
But she and Ellis... No!
Before Wendy could push Ellis away, the door at the door behind the sofa was pushed open with a bang. Wendy was so frightened that she pushed Ellis away. Fortunately, the two of them were both on the sofa, so Ellis just stumbled and fell on the sofa.
But...
A petite figure came in, she walked towards the two of them with anger. "Ellis, if I hadn't known that you were really with another woman behind my back..."
Before Shelly could finish her words, her face suddenly turned pale and tired, her eyes were full of unconcealed despair. "Sister Wendy!"
Obviously, Ellis was also shocked, he didn't expect that Shelly and Wendy knew each other.
"Shelly, no... It's not what you think! " Wendy tried to explain in hurry.
In fact, she had long suspected that Ellis was Shelly's childhood sweetheart, because he was just like the man described by her. He was as gentle as a jade, outstanding, and his favorite food was the same...
However, she had always indulged herself in the hope of luck. Maybe she just thought too much?
"Then what should it be? I saw everything! Stop arguing! You... You are so shameless! " Shelly's fair face flushed with pain because of anger.
"Shelly!" Ellis shouted at Shelly, hinting her not to talk nonsense.
Shelly felt even more aggrieved, her eyelids turned red and she looked at Wendy and Ellis in disbelief. "How could you talk to me so loudly? You have never treated me like this before..."
Then she rushed out.
Ellis was also stunned. Shelly was right. Although he didn't fall in love with Shelly, she was obedient and sensible, so he regarded her as his best sister, he seldom spoke loudly to her, let alone scold her.
"What are you thinking about! Hurry up! If anything happens to her alone... " Wendy just like woke up from a dream.
Ellis's gentle smile disappeared without a trace, with an embarrassed look, he took his coat, put it on and rushed out.
After Ellis left, Wendy sat on the sofa for a while, time passed quietly.
Then she walked from the apartment of Ellis to the hospital, before she went back to the Jiang Family, she thought she had to see her mother. Maybe...
Maybe she would feel better.
On his way out of Ellis's apartment, what had happened just now kept flashing through Wendy's mind. In other words, it was just like a clip, played back from time to time.
If it weren't for Shelly, would they...
She didn't dare to think about what would happen next.
If it was in the past, she could still imagine and expect love of herself. After all these things, she no longer had that idea. She didn't think about the future, nor did she want to think about it. Just let nature take its course.
The good news that she was lucky to meet an old friend had been immediately diluted by Shelly's tears.
Shelly was a lovely and simple girl, she must have misunderstood!
It was getting late. The people around her were either strolling leisurely, or wandering in a hurry, or wandering around with nothing to do. It seemed that she was the only one who seemed to be the same but had a different independent thought. Everyone had what he wanted to do and what he wanted to achieve. Only she didn't know what she was going to do and what she would end up with.
The life of herself seemed to be in a mess.
All of a sudden, her pocket vibrated. Wendy picked the phone and took it out. When she saw the caller ID, she frowned slightly.
How could it be him?
But Wendy came back to her senses in an instant and pressed the "answer" button. On the other end of the line came the angry voice of Leo, which seemed to be mixed with some sarcasm.
"Wendy, you are becoming more and more shameless, aren't you?"
What did he mean?
Wendy stopped and stood there alone.
She was so shocked that a few wisps of hair blown by the wind floated over her face, the wrinkled white dress clung to her white legs, and occasionally there were a few words that pervaded the air.
"So Wendy, you can do anything for money? Is there any woman in the world who humiliate herself than you did? "
She could do anything for money. She could sell herself and her future, but the person lying on the bed was her mother, and she couldn't leave the person who gave birth to her and raised her.
Moreover! Did she have another choice? God had never given her such a chance! Never...
Humiliate herself?
She did humiliate herself.
After doing this, she was ready to bear the dissatisfaction and the strange and sarcastic eyes. However, when she really heard it, she still felt very sad. It was as painful as being cut by a knife.
Wendy took a deep breath and told herself that it was nothing serious. Just take it as being bitten by a dog, nobody wanted to bite it back.
But... Why did Leo call him in person for this? What the hell...
Perhaps this man was drunk again. Thinking of this, Wendy was even less in the mood to talk to Leo.
"I have something else to do. I'll talk to you later."
Hearing the calm tone of Wendy, Leo was even angrier. It was all her fault. If it weren't for her, how could he do something wrong that made him betray Sallie? How could he feel guilty even looking into her eyes? Why did he want to escape?
But that woman... She even... She even hooked up with his best friend!
The most hateful thing was that he was so angry when he saw that she was with Ellis in the restaurant, he even forgot that Sallie was waiting for him at the airport!
But he didn't know what he had been thinking about, he asked Ryan to follow them all the way until they arrived at the downstairs of Ellis's apartment. Only then did Leo go crazy with anger.
He had known Ellis for so many years, but he had never seen him bring any woman home.
But... How could he make an exception to Wendy? When he was about to rush in, he suddenly remembered his identity and an idea flashed through his mind.
