Chapter 861 Can't You Talk About Something Wholesome?

In this world, no one knew Wendy better than Gavin.

Her raised lips and her smiling eyes showed that she was excited and happy now.

However, she went out to answer the call.

This could only mean that Wendy didn't want him to overhear the phone call.

Gavin took a sip of coffee. Looking at Wendy, who was secretly excited on the balcony, his lips slightly raised.

No matter what the little girl was hiding from him, as long as he wanted, he would soon know.

Finally, Wendy hung up the phone and hopped back from the balcony.

Gavin pushed the fish porridge to her. "Eat quickly. It's getting cold."

"Yes!" Wendy drank half a bowl of the porridge and ate the remaining half of the shrimp dumpling. Then she wiped her mouth and said, "I'm full!"

Gavin raised his eyebrows and asked in doubt, "Are you sure?"

"..." Wendy always felt that there was something wrong with Gavin's tone. She stared at him and asked, "What do you mean?!"

"You only ate half as much as you usually do." Gavin asked, "Do you have a poor appetite?"

Wendy touched the tip of her nose and simply admitted it to lay the foundation for what would happen the next few days. "Yea, I have a poor appetite these days!"

"Oh?" Gavin asked with interest, "Why?"

"I have a poor appetite because I'm in a good mood!" Wendy kissed Gavin on his cheek. "I know it's a little hard to understand, but don't ask. You'll know the answer in a few days!"

Gavin pretended to nod after pondering for a moment, then he didn't ask further.

Wendy ran back to her room and put on light makeup. Then she ran out and said to Gavin, "I'm going out."

Gavin stared at Wendy and asked her with a nervous voice, "Where are you going?"

As long as he was with her, he didn't care whatever Wendy was hiding from him. Anyway, she was safe, so she could do whatever she wanted.

But what if she ran out and was targeted by Rowdy's men and the bodyguards couldn't deal with Rowdy's men?

"I'm going out with my cousin-in-law." Wendy smiled. "She is coming to pick me up. Don't worry. I'll be fine."

"You must go out?" Gavin asked.

Wendy nodded with certainty. "I must go out!"

Gavin could only send all his men to follow Wendy and repeatedly ask her to be careful.

Wendy was tired of repeatedly hearing that, and she covered Gavin's mouth and said, "Stop it. I promise to be careful! If you keep talking, I'll call you Tang Monk from now on!"

"..." Gavin handed Wendy's bag to her. "Madam, go ahead."

Wendy couldn't help smiling. She stood on tiptoe and kissed Gavin. "Wait for me to come back."

Gavin sent Wendy downstairs and even wanted to follow her to the hospital gate, but she stopped her.

Wendy said, "It's too cold. Go back to your room."

"I'll send you to..."

Before Gavin finished his words, Wendy had interrupted him. "You are worried about me, and I'm also worried about you! Go back right now!"

It was late winter, and there was a heavy chill in the air. Wendy was afraid that Gavin would catch a cold.

Henry had specially told her that the last treatment was coming soon, so there couldn't be anything wrong with Gavin's body, including catching a cold!

Looking at the little girl's serious and anxious look, Gavin smiled and returned to the elevator.

He pressed the button for the top floor, but he didn't repeatedly poke hard the close-door button like those ones who rushed to go upstairs. Instead, he looked at Wendy from the elevator until the door closed completely.

Watching the elevator rising layer by layer, Wendy covered her mouth and smiled secretly. Then she ran excitedly to the hospital gate.

The bodyguards had no choice but to run after Wendy.

Freya's car was temporarily parked at the gate of the hospital.

Seeing Wendy run out, Freya opened the door. The next second, Wendy got in like a gust of wind. After sitting well, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Why are you so tired?" Freya looked at Wendy with a meaningful smile. "What did Gavin do to you before letting you out?"

Wendy blushed. "Cousin-in-law, stop teasing me..."

Freya smiled. "Okay, I'll not tease you. But we agreed to meet at the store. Why did you suddenly change your mind and asked me to pick you up?"

"Because it occurred to me that Gavin must be worried if I went to a faraway place alone. If he was to send me there, my plan would be exposed!" Wendy smiled proudly and added, "But if you were to come to pick me up, Gavin would at most send me downstairs! It turned out that I was right!"

"Oh-" Freya said with the last syllable being long. She showed a look of understanding. "So what did Gavin do to you downstairs!"

"Ahem!" Wendy was choked. "Cousin-in-law, let's talk about something wholesome!"

Freya smiled and asked the driver to speed up.

Wendy looked at Freya carefully and suddenly found that being pregnant could really change a person.

She remembered that Freya had been a racing girl. She used to drive her red Ferrari and looked so cool. The moment she got out of the car in a long dress and high heels, she was the very incarnation of a goddess.

But now, she sat well in the back seat, paying attention to her slightly bumped belly and showing no desire for the steering wheel.

Wendy suddenly asked curiously, "Cousin-in-law, will you give up your job and take care of the baby at home after the baby is born?"

"No," Freya said without hesitation. "I suddenly have a lot of interest in fashion recently. After the baby is born, I will probably work on fashion. What about you? What are you going to do in the future?"

"I registered for the postgraduate entrance examination," Wendy said with little confidence. "But I haven't studied recently. I don't know if I can pass the examination."

"Of course you can." Freya came to the point. "What matters is your target school. I remember that you were going to study for a master's degree in the United States."

"At that time, I wanted to escape because of Gavin." Wendy smiled. "But now, I don't have to escape. If I can pass, I will study in my old school and accompany Gavin."

They chatted along the way. Not long after, the car stopped. The driver said, "Mrs. Su, Miss Moore, we have arrived at Huainan Road."

Freya and Wendy got out of the car and walked into the store under the escort of the bodyguards.

The manager had been waiting for them for a long time. He took Freya and Wendy directly to the second floor. The wedding dress was ready, and Wendy could try it now.

The white wedding dress was designed to be off-shoulder. It perfectly trailed behind, romantic and not redundant.

"It is designed by our brand director and sold as a limited edition in the world." The manager said, "Miss Moore, you must look very good in this wedding dress."

Freya motioned for Wendy to enter the fitting room. "Have a try."

In less than ten minutes, Wendy came out of the fitting room.

It was a girly wedding dress, lacking elegance and nobility but laying emphasis on grace and romance. Plus, with some fashionable elements, it matched well with the youth and vigor emitted from Wendy.

Wendy clutched the wedding dress and asked Freya with little confidence, "Cousin-in-law, how do I look?"

"..." Freya gazed at Wendy, who was blushing, and did not speak for a long time.

Wendy was not confident. Seeing that Freya didn't respond, she immediately wanted to give up this one.

At this moment, Freya suddenly said, "Wendy, I want to marry you when you wear this wedding dress!"

Wendy widened her eyes and looked around. After making sure that Chris was not here, she was finally relieved.

The manager couldn't help smiling. "Miss Moore, this wedding dress perfectly suits you."

Freya immediately made a decision. "We'll get this one!"

She walked over and helped Wendy check the size. She pinched the waistline of the dress and said, "It is a little bigger on the waist."

"Don't worry." The manager said, "We'll ask the designer to measure Miss Moore's waistline and send the wedding dress back to the headquarters. Its size will be adjusted to perfectly fit the bride."

"Okay." Freya nodded. "Wendy, take off the wedding dress. Let's pick the shoes."

There were no suitable shoes in this store. Freya asked the driver to send them to an exclusive shop of another brand and settled for a pair of shoes.

Yes, she settled for that pair of shoes.

Wendy was quite satisfied with the design of the shoes, so she looked at Freya in confusion. "Cousin-in-law, I think it looks good. Why aren't you satisfied?"

"Yes, it's quite good, but it's not perfect." Freya thought for a while and said, "Forget it. I can't find a better one for the time being. Let's go to see the jewelry first."

Wendy didn't know about jewelry at all, so she had to leave it to Freya.

Freya's eyes were sharp. She quickly picked a set of jewelry to match Wendy's wedding dress. In the end, she asked someone to pack them up and took out her card to pay for it.

"Mrs. Su, there's no need." The manager wore a pair of white gloves and carefully put the jewelry into a box. "When you came in, we contacted Mr. Brian. Someone will come to pay your expenses here."

"Huh?" Wendy reacted and asked, "Does this store belong to my cousin-in-law?"

Freya smiled. "Mr. Brian bought this brand a long time ago."

Wendy was shocked. "Cousin-in-law... is too amazing."

Freya had been shocked countless times. She said calmly, "Everything you need is ready. Let's go back, or Gavin will come out to find you."

Wendy handed everything to Freya. "Cousin-in-law, help me hide them well. I don't know how to explain them to Gavin when I get back."

"No problem." Freya took the bag and asked, "Shall I send you back?"

"No, you have accompanied me for the whole morning. You go home for a rest." Wendy said, "I can go back myself."

"This place is very close to your cousin's company building. I'll go there." Freya said, "You go back to the hospital."

"Okay."

Wendy got in the bodyguards' car and asked the driver to send her back to the apartment first.

It was probably because it was getting colder and colder, the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry and wished they could hide their heads in their coats.

Wendy also tightened her collar, leaned against the window, and asked the driver to play some music.

Coincidentally, it was Marry You sung by Bruno Mars. Chris had used this song when he proposed to Freya.

Wendy followed the rhythm and hummed softly. She felt that her mood was brighter than the sunshine outside the window.
