Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 42

After class, Wendy saw Baron waiting at the school gate.

She planned to refuse the invitation.

However Howell called her earlier, reporting he wanted to thank her with a good meal.

So she agreed for Howell.

When Wendy arrived at the Charles family, Henson was at home too.

The two brothers were chatting happily in the courtyard.

Henson greeted, "Hi."

Wendy nodded at Henson asked Howell, "Are the questions simple?"

"To me, they are very simple for almost 80% of the questions I have learned from you before. And the rest are also not very difficult."

Wendy smiled to hear that.

Howell stood up to give to Wendy a check, "Miss Evans, this is for you."

Wendy just smiled and waved her hand, "As long as you can have a good grades, I will feel happy. Please take the check back."

"That's my thank for you."

"This dinner is enough."

Howell was a little unhappy, "Miss Evans, are you looking down on my small amount of money to you?"

"Not at all. But I will only accept the money I should take. Howell, I accept your thanks, but you should keep the check yourself. Otherwise, I’ll leave now."

"Don't." Howell put the check back into his pocket, "Fine, sit here please, Miss Evans".

Wendy sat next to him while Henson was siting just in front of her.

Howell looked at her and laughed, "Miss Evans, can I call you Wendy after today?"

Wendy smiled, "OK, if you like."

Henson looked at Howell and asked, "Have you called Mason?"

"Not yet."

"Go ahead."

"I will call him later …"

"Call him right now." Henson looked at him as if he was saying an order, not a suggestion.

Howell looked at Henson and got up, "Miss Evans, please have a sit here, I need to go inside to make the call."

"Go ahead."

After Howell left, Henson asked Wendy, "After I left, you have worked late?"

Wendy nodded and sat quietly.

"No dangerous things happened?"

"No." Wendy shook her head.

"How is your thesis going?"

"Pretty good."

They then fell into silence.

Henson was not a talker, but when he stay with Wendy, he was always the one to start a conversation.

Henson was a little annoyed, "When you stayed with Gorman, you didn't like to talk with him either?"

Wendy looked at Henson, wondering how he made such a conclusion.

"I'm asking you."

"Yes."

"So, you hated me for we slept together before? "

Wendy frowned, "Mr. Charles, we agreed to forget it long time ago."

"Then why do you treat me differently?"

"Because Gorman used to be my boyfriend. Couldn't I speak to him?"

Henson could not retort.

Yes, she was right. But Henson just didn't like it.

He wanted to change her, no, conquer her.
