Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 172

Sally furrowed her brows. Was Master Henson implying that Ross would break up with her?

Although she felt displeased on the inside, she daren't let it show on her face and merely smiled in response before saying, "That's true, couples can still go their separate ways after getting married. Will you be marrying Wendy anytime soon, Master Henson?" 

He turned his head to look at Wendy squarely in the eyes. "I plan to marry her the moment she says 'yes'. She keeps insisting that she's still young and that she wants me to wait a bit longer though. I really don't know how else to persuade her at this point. Oh, right! I hope both Uncle and Auntie can help me persuade her as well. You both know how stubborn she can be at times," he joked.

Wendy flushed a bit after hearing that and Ross' mother chuckled as she looked at her. "That's right, this young lady still has that headstrong personality from when she was younger. You know, Wendy, when fate comes knocking at your door, you should answer it and marry him as soon as you can. Then, you can have kids and experience the joys of life sooner," she giggled. 

"I fully agree with that," he said with a nod.

"You'd better stop talking and focus on your food," she said and slapped him on the arm 

before turning to his mother to quickly say, "I don't think we need to rush getting married, Auntie. I just graduated from university this year, after all, and I plan to work till I'm financially stable before settling down. Also, I need lots of time to test the waters," 

His mother merely shook her head and giggled. "This child is really something," she thought.

Ross later raised his wine glass and directed his words to Henson, "A toast, Master Henson, to your success of securing such a wonderful girlfriend,"

Henson smirked as he raised his wine glass to clink it with his. "Thanks a lot," he replied and sipped some wine before continuing,

"Wendy told me you're currently working at Grande Mall," 

"Yeah. Before this, I was working at headquarters but I was later transferred to the branch in San Diego. So, now I'm responsible for managing the shopping malls in the San Diego division," Ross replied.

Henson nodded in understanding. "Then, I suppose you must be doing pretty well for yourself now, Mr. Lowry. The way I see it, an accomplished man should be careful and finicky when it comes to choosing a life partner. It'd be a shame if one makes decisions that might impede and spell trouble to them later on in life, you know," Henson said,

his words cryptic on the surface, but everyone at the table immediately understood what he was referring to.
