Chapter 32: Follow Me, Don’t Walk Away
Wendy was tired of crying, and her eyes were as red as a little rabbit’s. Rex closed the book and said, “Go back to the room and sleep.”
“No.” Wendy rubbed her eyes. “I don’t even know how to answer these questions.”
“We can get some progress gradually. Besides, you’re not so stupid,” Rex said teasingly.
It was almost midnight and Wendy yawned non-stop. Sleepiness swept over her and she didn’t have the energy to bicker with him at all. She asked in a tired voice, “Tomorrow seems to be the weekend, right?”
“Well.”
“Then I’ll do it tomorrow.” Wendy tidied up the textbook. As soon as she got up and was about to leave, she looked back at Rex, who had not moved. “Aren’t you going to sleep?”
“I have something to deal with.”
“Oh.” Wendy did not suspect anything either. She merely narrowed her eyes and left.
He gently knocked on the door and looked at the message that Clare had sent him. His face was as gloomy as a thunderstorm. How stupid was she to be bullied wherever she went!
He wanted to see when she would tell him the truth!
On the weekend, Rex had to go to a cocktail party and show up with his female companion, so Wendy was dragged up by him early in the morning.
“It’s the weekend, I want to sleep!” Wendy was drowsy with a bird’s nest on her head, but she woke up the moment she saw Rex.
Rex had already put on everything. The well-tailored suit was just nice, which set off his tall figure. Underneath his sculpted face, there was a chill that made people dare not approach him. This man indeed had a great figure.
“I’ll take you to a place.”
“Where?”
“There’s no need to waste words. You’ll know when you get there.” With that, Rex went downstairs. Wendy was used to his coldness and didn’t go downstairs until she was done washing up.
Clare walked up to her and said, “Mrs. Gavyn, the Mr. Gavyn has already left. Let me take you to get your clothes ready.”
“Prepare clothes?”
“Yes.”
Wendy was taken to a venue by Clare. The venue was magnificent, but empty, which made it seem a little distant. This was probably the smell of money of the rich.
“Mrs. Gavyn, go up this staircase and reach the top floor. There are designers waiting for you there. You can just come down directly after you change your clothes,” Clare explained the process slowly.
Wendy was still a little confused and asked, “What do I need to do to change my clothes?”
Clare thought for a moment and replied, “To attend the banquet.”
As for what kind of banquet it was, Clare did not mention it. Wendy could roughly guess that it was nothing more than an exchange between the officials. But why would Rex bring her along?
A thought suddenly flashed through Wendy’s mind and she jumped in fright. She hurriedly shook her head and said, “It’s absolutely impossible.”
Rex was not an impulsive person. It was undoubtedly big news in Jena City to announce their relationship in front of so many people. Not only did he faced the Gavyn Family, but also the entire Glory Group. The Walters Family was now in a crisis, and she had married him. This was already a deliberate move on the part of others. It might even make the Walters Family more miserable. No matter how bad the Walters Family was to her, she would never allow such a thing to happen.
At the banquet, the lights were on.
Wendy was wearing a long red dress and helplessness flashed in her bright eyes. Her delicate and charming red lips were slightly parted, as if she was trying to seduce someone to kiss her. Her beautiful figure was wrapped up and she radiated a unique charm.
Rex held his wine glass and stared at the little beauty by the window with danger in his eyes. He regretted bringing her here!
“Mr. Cullen, I’m sorry. Please excuse me.” Rex turned his head and changed his expression. He smiled at Mr. Cullen, who was talking to him, and strode away before he could respond.
Wendy had been brought here by Clare for no apparent reason, and he hadn’t assigned any tasks to her. He had only asked her to find whatever she wanted to eat. However, she couldn’t even find where she wanted to eat, let alone where Rex had gone.
“Follow me!”
Rex took Wendy’s wrist and walked quickly to a room.
“You…… um……”
As soon as she entered the room, Wendy was pressed against the door by Rex. His kiss was different from any of the previous times. This time, it was even more urgent, with a possessiveness that she could not ignore. It was as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
“Mm…… Rex……” Wendy’s lips moved like a cat’s as she clutched at Rex’s clothes shakily, as if she wanted to reject him.
Rex’s mind collapsed with a loud crash, blood gathering in one place. He picked up her slender waist and pressed her against himself. His voice was hoarse as he said, “baby, I want you.”
Baby……
This was the first time he called her baby.
Perhaps it was because this term was too intimate, or perhaps it was because she had been possessed, Wendy actually did not reject his unreasonable request.
After that, it became quiet. Wendy patted Rex, who was panting heavily on her shoulder, and said carefully, “You…… pressed me down.”
Men are two people before and after this thing. Rex’s eyes were already clear. He propped himself up and left, putting on his clothes in an orderly manner.
He glanced at the red-faced Wendy and tugged at his tie. Then, in a commanding tone, he said, “Get up and put on your clothes.”
Wendy’s lower body was sore and swollen. She managed to sit up with difficulty and said awkwardly, “Can you turn your back on me?”
Rex found it funny. “Haven’t I seen anything about you?”
Wendy’s face was red and she did not say anything. She felt as wronged as a child.
He really didn’t know what to do with her.
Rex took out a knee-length white dress from the closet. He threw it at her calmly and said, “Change your clothes and come out. I’ll wait for you at the door.”
Wendy took the dress and nodded. She only dared to lift the blanket and get out of bed after watching Rex leave.
After a long time, Wendy walked out of the room. She was a little reserved as she said, “I’m…… I’m done changing.”
Rex’s gaze quickly swept over her and he said lightly, “Follow me. Don’t wander off.”
In the future, when he took her out, he would really tie a rope around her neck. When he thought of those men’s fierce eyes on her, he couldn’t help but want to hit them.
Wendy obediently followed behind him like a little lackey. She followed him wherever he went and did not leave his side at all.
Even though she had changed out of that red dress, Wendy was still eye-catching. Furthermore, Rex kept having the feeling that he had seen this girl somewhere before.
“Mr. Gavyn, who is……” Mr. Cullen’s eyes were oily and made Wendy feel very uncomfortable.
Rex leaned forward slightly and protected Wendy. He wanted to say something but hesitated. On second thought, he realized that she was unwilling to make their relationship public, so he said, “It’s just an assistant.”

Wendy looked at Rex and did not understand what she was feeling conflicted about. She clearly knew about her relationship with Rex, but her heart could not help but draw closer to him. When he denied their relationship, she actually felt a sense of loss.
Was it an illusion?
