After open the door, Henson walked in and waited at the door for Wendy.
The moment Wendy walked inside, he closed the door.
Wendy was just about to turn around to see him, but Henson suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her straight into the bedroom. He threw Wendy onto the bed and pressed over her instantly.
"What are you doing?" Wendy was nervous.
"You can guess."
"You… Don't be so reckless."
"How about you?" Henson's eyes were filled with somewhat bitter anger, "What have you done today? Trying to leave my life without saying goodbye, hmm? Did I say that unless I get bored with you in bed or you kill me right now, I will not let you go. So choose today, sleeping with me, or killing me?"
She stared at with an aggrieved face,"I'm not your slave, and I didn't sell myself to you. Then why can't I leave you as I wish? And who are you to control me?
"I’m your man. I want to be responsible for you for that night."
"But I don't need you to take the responsibility. We did not owe anything to each other. I hope you can respect me to keep a distance with me. From now on, we are just strangers. And if you keeping pestering me, I will leave San Diego forever one day."
"Alright, if you don't care about Judy's company, then just give it a try."
"You… You are threatening me?" Wendy's face was filled with anger.
"You did that first. Her company is nothing to me. I can promise you that in less than ten days, it will completely disappear in Toronto. "
"You're such a despicable man."
Wendy's scold could not change his face a little. Henson said indifferently, "As long as you behave yourself to stay with me, I can won't lay a finger on it and even help their company grow into a bigger one. Now, which result do you want to see?"
Wendy clenched her fist with a helpless look. "Henson, why are doing this to me?"
"You know the answer."
Wendy closed her eyes as if she was about to die. Then she opened her eyes to look at him again and asked him, "So if I sleep with you this time, can you let me go for good?"
"What? Sleep with me tonight for your freedom for the whole life?" Henson laughed wickedly.
With a desperate look, Wendy nodded. "Yes."
"Dear, I'm not that easy to fool."
"But You… You said as long as I slept with you, then I…" Wendy fell silent. She misunderstood the point of his words.
Henson curled his lips to gently pinch her cheek.
"What? Find my point now? I wont't be satisfied with just one night with you."
"Then how long?"
"Well... It's hard to say. It could be a month or a year, or ten years or even longer. Judging from my current enthusiasm for you, I assume the answer is the whole life."
"So you are meaning you won't let me go forever?" Wendy's heart tensed up.
"Yes, you can see it that way," said Henson with a devilish smile.
Wendy burst into tears immediately. "Why me? You clearly know we are from different worlds. Why are you so persistent with me? Henson, why need you do such a kind of thing to me?"
His hand gently caressed Wendy's cheek.
"Wendy, I hope you can walk to stand by me. You don't know how hard for me to meet someone like you. You are the first one who I want to get married with. So I won't let you go so easily."
"You said you did not dare to open your heart to me easily. It's okay to me for I can wait. You say you do not love me now, fine, no problem to me again for We have a whole life. You say you do not trust rich men. OK, I accept, and I will show you my sincerity for I believe you will be moved by me in the end. But what I cannot accept is that you just left like this without saying goodbye to me."
Wendy stared at Henson. Did he know that it was also the most rugged and difficult one to stand by him?
