Chapter 39: Step Back, I’m Here
“I’m fine, I just suddenly felt that you would leave me,” Wendy said as she suppressed the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.
Rex smiled. “I agreed to take you away. How could I leave you behind?”
Wendy’s eyes were gloomy, but there was a smile on her lips. She had made a big decision in her heart. Her tone was light as she said, “You can’t just let me go with you. At least I’m a girl. You should go home first and say to your parents, and then I’ll say to my family. Then, we’ll take action together and you’ll pick me up at that time, okay?”
Rex thought about it and felt that Wendy’s words made sense. He nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll go home tomorrow and try to pick you up in a week.”
“Okay.” Wendy’s voice began to tremble. “I have to go home. Hurry up and go. Call me if you miss me.”
Rex planted a kiss on her lips. “Wait for me.”
Wendy looked at Rex as he turned around, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes. She couldn’t hold it in any longer and shouted at his tall and slender back, “Rex, I like you!”
Tears blurred her eyes and the wind blocked her ears. She could no longer see Rex’s face or hear his voice. From then on, this person would no longer exist in her life.
She was tired from crying. She wanted to sleep for a while. Perhaps she would still be able to dream of him.
Wendy had woken up from her tears. When she woke up again, she was already out of town. It was raining outside the window of a strange home, just like the scene that day. She walked to the bed and let the raindrops fall on the glass, making a clattering sound.
She pushed open the window. It was empty outside, only the sound of rain could be heard.
At that moment, she knew that she had lost that person.
Later, Kincaid took them to Jena City. Rex couldn’t find Wendy in the tea garden, so he fell ill. After he recovered, he forgot everything about the past and became cold-hearted.
It was also at that moment that the Glory Group had been handed over to him, becoming the strongest crocodile in the Jena City.
He could do whatever he wanted. His name was well known to everyone. After Wendy returned to the Walters Family, she was ostracized by Jenny, and her entire person changed. When she met Rex again, she tried her best to pretend not to care and deliberately buried this memory. Even when Jenny set her up and lost her virginity to Rex, she still showed that she didn’t know him and didn’t care how he treated her.
However, it seemed that she could no longer hold herself back.
Rex, why did you forget me?
Wendy powerlessly fell to the ground as an icy-cold temperature passed through her skin. She really wanted to sleep like this to the end and not pay any attention to anyone else.
She thought that she had enough courage to face the rumors in school, but she did not expect that even Rex would look at her that way.
In the end, she was still too weak and couldn’t withstand any blows.
Wendy was tired of crying, and her stomach began to growl. She climbed up along the utility pole, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to turn it on.
Unexpectedly, before the phone was turned on, it was taken away. Looking back, she saw a few gangster-like people surrounding her, and an evil chill rose from the bottom of her heart.
She took a few steps back. “What…… what are you going to do?”
The hooligan in front combed his hair, with a cigarette in his mouth, and the people behind laughed obscenely. “What do you think we should do, little beauty?”
“You…… you all……” Wendy was so frightened that she could not even form a complete sentence. She continued to retreat until she was forced into a corner and there was no place to retreat to. It was only then that her legs immediately grew weak and she fell to the ground.
“Bro, you go first.”
“Okay.”
As soon as she had finished speaking, Wendy felt a black figure flash past her eyes. Her hands trembled as she groped around her body. Just as she was about to pick it up and throw it at the other one, she saw that the black figure was so familiar that she wanted to cry.
“……Rex?”
In the dark, the side of his face was sculpted. He tilted his head slightly and there was a beautiful shadow under his eyebrows. His voice was gloomy as he said, “Back away. I’m here.”
