Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 48

Henson walked to handed the flower to her, "Congratulations to you for you have finished you thesis defense."

Wendy accepted it and said, "Thank you."

"Why do you look so tired? Do you fail in your defense? But as I know, you can always keep a good state at any time."

Wendy tried her best to control her feeling and just smiled silently.

Henson frowned, "Looks like you have got some troubles. What happened?"

Wendy was a little surprised that Henson was the first person who tell her feelings from her expression.

The more painful she felt, the more calm she would look for she would disguise herself after bewilderment.

Her mother once said to her, the hardest thing in the world is not steel, but the human’s heart.

The harder your heart is, the stronger you can be.

Her mother also said, do not let people find when you were weak, or else you will be very easily targeted by others.

Wendy's cell phone rang suddenly.

She lowered her head to open her bag weakly.

It was from Gorman, so she immediately hung up and threw her phone back to the bag.

Wendy still didn't know how to treat him.

Henson raised his eyebrows, "Why not answer the phone?"

"I don't want to."

Wendy took a deep breath, "Thank you for your flowers. And I'll go back first."

Then she headed into the house.

Henson grabbed Wendy on her wrist, "What happened indeed? Are you bullied by someone?"

His voice was so strict that she couldn't help looking back at him.

Seeing the tears in Wendy's eyes, Henson frowned, "Speak. If you don't say anything, how can I help you?"

Wendy raised her eyes, "Can I use your hug?"

Wendy stepped forward, with one hand holding the flower and the other hand circling around his waist. She then pressed her cheek against Henson's shoulder.

At that moment, Wendy thought if she stayed alone now, she would go crazy at last.

Wendy forced herself to keep calm in his arms.

Henson's body was so warm.

"Henson, can you touch my head to tell me everything is OK?"

Henson lowered his head to look at Wendy in his arms, feeling heart-broken in his heart.

He put one hand around her waist and stroke her hair with the other hand. Then he lay his chin on her head, "I am here, and everything is fine."

Wendy's heart shrank, and the tears finally fell down from her eyes.

Yes, if her mother was alive, she would also comfort her like this.

If her Dad... Was just an ordinary father who loved her. In this situation, he would probably comforted her, "Don't worry. No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you."

It's okay, and everything was going to be okay.

Wendy turned her head a little to rub her eyes against Henson's chest.

She did not want anyone to find her tears.

However, in front of Henson, she seemed to have lost her control of herself.

The phone rang again.

She ignored it again.

"You are a nerd now. Have you never thought I could help you? I still owe you a favor."

Wendy knew Henson could.

However, she also knew clearly she must end the relationship with Henson.

If they continued seeing each other, their relationship will be more complicated.

She had never asked for anyone's consolation before, but she unconsciously asked it from Henson.

She had to admit Henson was a charming man who was able to make her let down her guard.

But then what?

Wendy was afraid of getting hurt in the future, so she would rather retreat to her original position to protect herself.

She looked at him with alienation, "You do not owe me anything. Just as you said, I took the initiative that night. I won't take advantage of my mistake to make you pay. I'll still say again, Henson, please keep distance with me."

"If you regard me as a prey to hunt for I am different from those girls you know, please give up the idea now. I can't afford it. I don’t want to have anything to do with your rich guys."

Henson twisted his head and laughed for her words. 

She really despised him.

However, this young girl overestimated herself too much.

Why would he give up as she ordered?

What a joke! He was Henson who made orders.

Henson hugged his chest and laughed calmly, "Your hatred to the rich people are from the Nicholson family?"

She frowned for Henson hadn't mentioned the Nicholson family for a long time. But why today he…

"What? You are afraid to be discovered as the illegitimate daughter of the Nicholson family?"
