Chapter 89 Engagement
Since Joe left the villa last time, he hadn’t been back for several days. Wendy couldn’t help coming to Smith with soup.
She didn’t expect that the receptionist would dare to stop her!
If it were in the past, Wendy would have asked Joe to fire her. However, ever since the matter of the child had been exposed by Joe, she felt that she had felt inexplicably lacking in momentum. Now, she could only look at Joe with a grievance.
Joe didn’t receive her signal and asked indifferently, “Why are you here?”
Seeing that the receptionist and Jack had left, Wendy quickly shifted her gaze to Joe. “Since you haven’t been home for the past few days, so I specially made soup for you…
Hearing what Wendy said, Joe was stunned for a moment.
It seemed that a long time ago, Charlotte had also carefully brought the soup she had cooked to him, but every time, he gave it to someone else, he had never tasted it.
“Joe?” Wendy looked at Joe probingly. “Do you dislike it?”
Joe’s hand, which was about to take the soup, paused. “I don’t have an appetite now. Just put it there.”
A hint of gloom flashed in Wendy’s eyes. She put the thermos on the table and grabbed Joe by the hand. “Joe, what did I do wrong to make you treat me like this? I was really forced to get pregnant!”
Joe looked at her deeply. “Is that so? You’ve had countless opportunities to tell me, but you didn’t mention it at all.”
“I’m just afraid that you’ll dislike me and I’ll lose you… I…” Wendy held Joe tightly and sobbed. “Do you remember when we were locked up there? After you left, I faced the gangsters alone. I was really scared…”
Her words successfully made Joe stiffen all over. His hand which was about to push her away also stopped.
That incident was an indelible shadow in his heart, and it also made him feel guilty about Wendy.
He lowered his eyes slightly and said, “I’ve just been a little busy recently. I’ll accompany you when it’s over.””
Wendy smiled happily and grabbed Joe by the arm. “I knew you would treat me the best! Two days ago, I happened to see a very beautiful dress for the engagement. How about we buy it?”
Chapter 89 Engagement

Joe didn’t have much interest and only said indifferently, “Do
as you please.”
Even so, it was enough to make Wendy overjoyed.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she said to Joe, “Should we tell Grandpa about the engagement? I think he doesn’t like me at all.”
Last time, Joe had already told Sir Smith his real intentions. Presumably, Sir Smith wouldn’t object too much. After thinking for a while, Joe directly stood up and said, “Let’s go home and talk to Grandpa.”
“Now?” Wendy was extremely surprised. How did things get to this point?
Seeing that Joe didn’t seem to be joking, she had no choice but to agree to go back to the Smith Family with Joe.
Seeing that Joe had brought Wendy home, Sir Smith pulled a long face.
“What are you doing here?” Thinking of what Joe had told him last time, Sir Smith did not ask anyone to drive Wendy out.
Wendy was keenly aware of the change in the attitude of Sir Smith. She quickly stepped forward and said obediently, “Joe
and I are getting engaged, Grandpa. I hope you can give us your blessing.”
Sir Smith ignored her and continued to stare at Joe.
Joe sighed slightly. “Grandpa.”
“Come with me to the study.” Sir Smith simply and rudely interrupted him. Then, he turned around and went upstairs.
