“Grandfather will come soon, I do not want grandfather to continue to worry about me who is still alone, he wants to immediately hold a grandson”, Wendy listens to Michael's explanation, apparently all this is done for the sake of making grandfather happy, he said, for the sake of realizing grandfather's desire to immediately have grandchildren, for that reason he does not care about his own feelings.
“Let me down at....”.
“You've spent a lot of time thinking about my offer, the message you left I threw away, Wendy, don't be reckless, you don't deserve to continue working at Feng Chen.”
Wendy knew that, she understood very well that all the men who came to the place considered that all the women who worked there were not just selling smiles, more than that, but Wendy ……
Just when Wendy's brain was filled with thoughts, whether since when Michael's hand that had been gently stroking his face had moved, opened both of his lips and kissed her softly, so that, only then did Wendy realize whether it had been how long the car they were driving stopped, the scenery outside was no longer moving, the atmosphere was silent.
Michael's lips and teeth seemed to invite his lips to dance, this was not the first time he kissed Wendy, but Wendy's reaction was still the same, she was trembling, she was filled with emotions indescribable by words. If Jacky's kiss makes him feel disgusted, another case with Michael, his kiss makes Wendy expect more, hoping it's just a step further, it was as if that way he could just forget all the bad things that had happened to him. In the middle of the kiss, Wendy's hand somehow moved to where and accidentally touched what, then the sound of police car sirens rang out loud inside and outside the car, Wendy opened her eyes in surprise, no wonder why the sound of a police car could come so quickly earlier, apparently the sound came from Michael's car.
“Sucks”, Michael catches Wendy's hand while turning off the police siren, he supports Wendy sitting on her lap, then takes two sheets of paper and thrusts it on Wendy, “Sign this.”
Wendy looked down to see what was written on the paper, on the first sheet of paper written a marriage agreement, on the other sheet written a divorce letter.
“Not to worry, I will definitely restore your freedom, I will not shackle your heart”, Michael whispered in Wendy's ear, his voice teasing and persuading Wendy to sign the two sheets of paper.
A pen was placed in Wendy's palm, it felt heavy in her hand, in her heart a voice said, sign it, after your signature is free from the burden of your life. According to the contents of the agreement, Wendy understood that later she would not lack food or clothing, she no longer needed to work as hard as now and could live like a rich man's wife. It's just that, when he has children later, he must return everything to Michael. Michael did all this to make his grandfather happy, while Wendy could be free from the difficulties of his life now. Wendy's hand shocks never stopped, however she hardened her heart, her hands like she could not control.
Wendy's phone suddenly rang, Wendy hurriedly picked it up, as if the call had saved her amid the anxiety she was facing.
“Halo”, Wendy answered immediately before she could see who was calling.
“Wendy, are you okay?”, Jacky's voice replied from across, his voice full of worry. The news spread so fast, Jacky knew it.
“I'm fine, I'm with Michael, already yes”, Wendy does not want to go long explained to Jacky, this is the second time Wendy mentioned Michael's name in her conversation with Jacky on the phone, the first one was unintentional, but this time Wendy was fully aware of the words coming out of her mouth.
“Wendy, tonight Aunt Suzy is coming.”
“Ooo.....”, almost Wendy presses the button to end the call, her finger instantly stops, once Suzy's name is called, Wendy starts to break out in cold sweat.
“Dia....seems like there is another intent.”.
“Did she come to ask you for more money?”, Wendy moved her phone from one ear to the other, she was getting more panicked, lest Suzy come to Jacky for more money.
“Emm, he said something happened to Mr. Bai until he entered the hospital, maybe.........”, Jacky hesitated to finish his sentence.
“Alright, I understand, thank you for telling me”, as fast as lightning Wendy ended the call then directly contacted Suzy, the bad habit of her mother this one, Wendy, whenever there is a problem never directly contact him, surely out of fear, fear of talking about money problems with Wendy, but who else has a closer relationship with him if not Wendy.
“Ma.....”, for some reason Suzy quickly received her call this time.
“Ma, how much is the debt?”
“Sekian billion, the exact number I do not know, Marcell said he will try, but all day there is no news, so there is no cost for operation”, Suzy cried more and more sob, sobbing, he does not sound like he is lying, Wendy also does not understand why Suzy is so in love with Henry, but this is destiny, Henry is destined to bring disaster in his life.
“Ma, already do not cry, I will try to find a way out.”
“Wendy, if you can help the Bai Family through all this, mama doesn't mind in the next life being reborn into a cow or a horse”, this talk is really filled with cries, she said, suzy's voice sobbed from the beginning she opened her mouth. After all, Suzy is the one who adopted and brought Wendy out of the orphanage, hearing Suzy cry so-so this way, Wendy's heart was also sad, “Ma, don't say that, I will try my best to”, not for the Bai Family, but for the sake of her foster mother.
After the conversation on the phone ended, Wendy put down her mobile phone, then she remembered she was still sitting on Michael's lap.
“Hey, don't join in crying”, Michael's fingers rubbed a speck of Wendy's tears, “I promise you, tomorrow the Bai Family is free of problems.”
“Although I didn't sign this document?”
“Of course”, replied Michael while nodding his head.
Contrary to what he had just said, Wendy's hand holding the pen finally moved down to sign the two sheets of documents before her, the second Wendy signed the document, she knew, the day she married Michael, she divorced him.
By agreeing to Michael's offer, Wendy still has freedom over her own life, as does Michael. Wendy can continue her studies while continuing to work part-time, only she has to perform well from the beginning to the end of this marriage.
“Grandfather will arrive in these few days”, Michael rubbed his chin on Wendy's face gently, the short and fine hair that began to grow on Michael's chin it made a tickle of Wendy's face, “Wendy, you take it easy, I won't touch you as long as you don't allow it.”
Once again Michael asserted to Wendy, it also simultaneously confirmed again that Michael had no special feelings for Wendy. Michael restarted his car engine, taking the two to the city center.
“You must be hungry, what would you like to eat?”
“Anything is okay, you only decide where to eat.”
“Ok”, Michael answered briefly, Michael's fingers pinched Wendy's face spoiled, this made Wendy wonder, a question popped into her mind, had Michael been used to doing the same thing to all the women close to him, Wendy's mouth was open ready to ask the question, but in the end she did not ask. Wendy's eyes look at the fast-passing shops outside the car window, she sees a restaurant she once went to, the noodles there are so delicious, “Stop, stop, stop, we eat there”, Wendy's hand while pointing towards the restaurant they just passed. Michael scrunched his forehead, “Don't.”
“Yes already, then I don't eat”, Wendy insists on eating there.
“That place is unhygienic.”
“I'm starving, I want to eat now, if you don't want to eat there, stop the car and let me down, I eat myself”, when Wendy's stomach is already thrashing starving like this, he never took a lot of dizziness, eating anything must be delicious.
“Ya already”, seeing Wendy so insistent, Michael chose to give up.
Two bowls of noodles were served without having to wait for long, Wendy ate voraciously, Michael just watched it, the bowl of noodles in front of her was not touched at all.
