By the door of her suite in the hotel, Wendy delved into her bag for the room card.
Just as she was about to open the door, she heard footsteps coming from the corridor.She turned her
head to see who it was. It was Ryan and Luke.
Wendy was in utter shock.
"You..."
"Oh my God! You're here too! What a coincidence!"
Luke took out a room card and opened the door to the next suite.
As he noticed that Wendy was looking at him in confusion, he smiled and explained, "Well, here's the
thing.Ryan and I are exhausted, and we didn't bring the driver with us today.It won't be safe to drive in
this state.We stumbled upon this hotel when we left the set, so Ryan and I decided to stay here for the
night.I didn't expect that I'd meet you here.What a coincidence!"
Wendy rolled her eyes and spat, "Liar"
"I don't understand what you're talking about," Luke replied with feigned innocence.
Wendy rolled her eyes.Her gaze shifted to Ryan, who was standing aside expressionlessly.
Wendy could not help but scratch her head.
"Aren't you going home for Precious?"
"Her grandparents missed her, so I figured it'd be nice if they could spend some time together."
"I see.Well, then enjoy yourselves.I'll go and take a rest," Wendy said.
"Okay."
"Ryan did not say anything more and just watched Wendy go to her suite.Then, Ryan and Luke entered
their suite.Coincidentally, their suite was the one Jeffrey had stayed in last night.Inside the suite, Luke,
who was laying on the soft sofa comfortably, scratched his face that was full of mosquito bites and
asked, "Didn't you come here to get close to Wendy? She's just next door.Why don't you go to her? I
really don't want to say this, but all women love romance.Look at you.You always pull along face.How
are you going to get Wendy with that face? I have experience in wooing girls.Do you want me to teach
you some tricks?"
Ryan took off his coat and cast a scornful glance at his brother.
"Dude, why are you looking at me like that?" Luke asked.
"Are you looking down at me? Let me tell you what. When it comes to women, I know more than you
do. They're shy and reserved. As men, we have to be bold. I'm telling you this, so you won't be left out."
"But you're still single," Ryan retorted.
‘Damn it!” He looks down on me! Luke could not help but grit his teeth in anger.
At that moment, he swore to himself that he would meet a lady tomorrow and get into a relationship.
As Ryan was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, Luke frowned and asked, "Are you really not
going to see Wendy?"
"She's tired and needs to rest."
"Then why did you come here tonight?" Luke was flabbergasted.
"Her being right next door is enough for me." Luke gaped at him in shock.
Out of all reasons, he did not expect that one.
Ryan showed off his love for Wendy to him again.
In the next suite, Wendy had just taken a bath.She was so exhausted that she lay in the bed.She
sighed in comfort.
Wendy checked the time on her phone.
It was only 9:40 in the evening.
Precious usually fell asleep at around ten o'clock in the evening.
After pondering for a moment, Wendy decided to video call her daughter.
The video was connected after only a few seconds.
Precious picked up the call so fast, which made Wendy think that the little girl must have been waiting
for her to call.
Her heart softened at the thought of this.
At that moment, Precious' chubby face appeared on the screen.
"Mommy..."
"Honey."
Wearing pink pajamas, Precious leaned against the headboard and pouted at Wendy.
"Mommy, I miss you so much.Do you miss me? When are you going to finish your work? I miss you so
much.I want to sleep beside you."
"Don't worry, baby.! promise I'll finish my work as soon as possible so that I can go home."
Precious thought for a while.
To Wendy's surprise, the little girl shook her head in response.
"Don't you want me to go home?"
"Of course, I want that.But, Mommy, don't worry, okay? I'll wait for you.Don't work too hard.You might
get sick."
It turned out that the little girl was worried Wendy would strain herself.
Wendy's heart warmed because of her daughter's concern.
In her eyes, nobody in the world was as lovely as her daughter.She believed that she was the luckiest
woman ever.
"Honey, I love you so much.Mwah!" Wendy replied with a sweet smile.
"I love you too, Mommy."
"You should sleep now. You have to go to school tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Precious obediently lay down on her pink bed and closed her eyes.
"Mommy, can you tell me a story?"
"Of course, what story do you want to hear?"
"Anything."
Wendy began telling a story just as Precious had requested.Her voice became soft and more
comforting than it usually was.
"Once upon a time, there was an ugly duckling..."
As she spoke, Precious gradually drifted to sleep.
Only when she was sure that Precious was fast asleep did Wendy hang up the call.
Ten minutes later, Josie quietly came out of Precious’ room.
Anson, who was by the door, asked in a hushed voice, "Is she sleeping already?"
"Shh!" Josie gently closed the door behind her.
"Yes, she is."
Anson breathed a sigh of relief.
At dinner, Precious did not seem happy.
Because of this, Anson could not help but worry that the little girl would not sleep well tonight. But now,
he was relieved to know that she was sleeping peacefully.
"It's getting late. Let's go to bed."
The two went back to their room.
For some reason, Josie did not seem happy.
"What's wrong?" Anson asked.
"When I was in Precious’ room just now, I happened to see that she and Wendy were on a video call."
"Mm."
"That's it?" Josie replied with dissatisfaction.
"She has just found out who her mom is.It's normal that she's clingy with Wendy. Are you jealous?"
Anson asked with a smirk.
"I'm not jealous! I'm dissatisfied!"
What Josie had just said made Anson turn around.
"Ray has just undergone an operation and is still in the ICU.And that Wendy? She couldn't wait to go to
work.Oh, and Precious.She has just found out that Wendy is her mom.They should be bonding right
now! But, no, all she cares about is work! What is she thinking?"
The more Josie spoke, the more dissatisfied she felt with Wendy.
