Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 180

https://hotnovelpub.com While Wendy slowly inched the top of her body forward, she also started inching her butt away from him on the sofa. 

The minute she got into the position she wanted, she made a run for it as fast as she could.

Henson felt the air around him whoosh past, and 

by the time he opened his eyes, she'd already reached the stairway,

the speed of which could definitely break a few world records. 

He smiled and thought, "What a silly girl."

She immediately locked the door after arriving at her room,

her heart pounding non-stop.

She just wanted to mess around with him a bit, which was why she got the blueberry juices on him in the first place, in hopes of making him feel grossed out,

so why was she the one who had to run away from him in the end?

That didn't sit right with her. She always seemed to lose every time she played tricks on him.

She groaned as she felt annoyed. She vowed to get back at him one day. 

Her heart leaped to her throat after she saw the doorknob turn all of a sudden. 

She yelped before saying in a guilty manner, "Promise me three things before you come in, Henson," 

"Sure. And what are they?" he said calmly while standing on the other side of the door, It sounded as if he wasn't angry at all. 

With her ears pressed against the door, she thought for a moment before replying. "Number one, you can't touch me whenever you feel like it from now on. You're a gentleman, after all," she said.

"Go on," he nudged.

"Hmph. Number two, you shan't use the incident on campus to threaten me from now on," she announced.

"What's condition three then?" he asked while learning on the doorframe.

"Number three, you can't get back at me once I open the door," she declared.

"Alright, I promise. Now, open the door," he said with a smirk.

She was skeptical at his response. "Really? You... seemed to have agreed to everything a bit too quickly," she probed.

"Huh? Do you expect me to get back, threaten, and touch you whenever I feel like it now? But of course, if that's what you want, I'll gladly make sure your wishes come through," he said loud, clear and coldly for her to hear. 

"I'm not crazy enough to be making such wishes," she huffed.

"Then, open up. You can't possibly have me wait outside your door for the whole night now, can you?" 

The second she opened the door, he rushed into her room at the speed of light and lifted her up from her feet

to throw her onto the soft bed. She could only let out a soft scream.

"How dare you try to bargain with me, Wendy," he smirked.

Seeing as he wanted to press her down on the bed, she wanted to get up and escape.

Before she could do so, he'd already grabbed hold of both her legs and pounced on her, trapping her beneath him.

"You lied, Henson! You're a liar!" she screamed.

"'All's fair in love and war' is a phrase that's commonly uttered in the business field. There's overwhelming evidence out there that suggests that promises that are made too rashly are often invalid, so you better remember that well. I'm teaching you right now, but as for the tuition fees..

." he trailed off 

and went in to kiss her. "...I suppose you can pay me with this kiss," he smirked.

Seeing as he was about to flex his power on her again, she hurriedly replied, "I don't need you to teach me anything. I'm warning you, you better not bully me. I still haven't gotten back at you even after holding in all my anger for a whole day now," she huffed.

"Oh? Tell me how I managed to offend you then," he nudged.

"You get off me first. We can settle our scores after that," she bargained.

"You can't play these kinds of tricks on me anymore. I've disregarded these types of tricks since I was ten, so anything you want to say, just say it now," he instructed.

She was so livid, one could literally see smoke coming out of her ears. He really knew how to use his words to embarrass people.
