Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 192

"Think about it. Who do you think I was doing all of this for?" Henson probed.

He then lifted a finger to poke Wendy in the forehead. "If I'd taken her to a quiet place to talk things out with her in private, then people would immediately lose their heads from sheer jealousy. Also, I'm a straightforward man, so if I were to reject someone's advances towards me, I'd want to do it out in the open, where everyone could see. By rejecting her in front of my woman, I was just trying to be loyal to you. So, I'd argue that YOU should take responsibility for the matter, not me," he ranted.

His rant only left her flabbergasted and speechless.

He was a man who'd go so far as to manipulate reality with his words

and twist the truth so blatantly.

She'd truly seen it all today.

"If every capitalist in this world were like you, the world would be f*cked by now," she declared and shook her head. "Also, stop making me sound like I'm some kind of jealous wench. I'm not as bad as you make me out to be," 

"Right, sure you aren't," he smirked.

"Ugh, that tone of yours. I'm not one to get jealous so easily over such a little thing. If you were actually a man who's easily wooed after being confessed to a few times, you'd definitely be married by now. After all, there are a ton of girls out there who are pining after you," she scoffed.

He stared at her and said, "Of all the women out there who love me, why can't you be one of them? You're not wrong in saying that their confessions won't get to me, but I'm sure yours can, so why don't you give it a try? I'll have you know I'm as fragile as a leaf in the wind whenever I'm in front of you," he teased.

She flushed crimson at that. "Of all topics to talk about, you're back at this again," she huffed.

"That's because I can't figure out for the life of me why I can't make you mine," he complained.
