Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 56

Hearing this, Wendy immediately jumped away from Henson. She then turned around to look at him, "Henson, if you dare do this again, I will go right now."

Seeing Wendy's blushing face, Henson stopped teasing her. He just sat down to look at the lunchbox.

There were some crab meat, braised beef, and vegetable salad.

"You have cooked so much food."

"Yes. I have to thank you for the help."

Last night, Henson paid the bill. It was only when Wendy tried to pay the bill that she was told that their dinner was free for  Henson was their shareholder.

Wendy asked Henson why he didn't tell her before.

Henson just said, "Since you have mourned for your purse, I don't want to ruin your sincere feelings."

Hearing that, Wendy really wanted to gave him a bite.

After all, thinking that she should pay such a large amount of the money, Wendy was not in the mood to have a good taste of the wine and the dishes for the whole dinner at all.

After lunch, Wendy went downstairs to the 34th floor first. Then she took the elevator to her 12th floor.

Standing in the elevator, Wendy inexplicably smiled. They were really like a secret couple now.

After getting off work, Wendy politely rejected Henson's advice to send her home by his car. Wendy went downstairs alone and went home by bus.

At the front gate of her community, she saw Bain.

Wendy was a little surprised. "Bain, why are you here?"

"I know your have finished your thesis defense, and I've been thinking of celebrating it with you, but I have been too busy recently."

Wendy chuckled, "I know you are busy. And it doesn't matter."

"But it matters to me. This is an big event and we should celebrate and remember it." Bain pointed to his car and siad, "Get in. Let me take you to celebrate it."

"Where are we going?"

"Go and eat," said Bain, who pushed Wendy into the car.

Then they arrived at a restaurant they had eaten many times. After getting Bain's order, the waiter then left the private room.

Bain said, "Wendy, have you got any news about getting the job in your school? Isn't it always your dream?"

Wendy nodded, "Yes, I have got the job, and the rest position has also been taken by the other student from our faculty."

"Must you be a teacher? Auntie has passed away for so many years. You don't have to realize her dream."

Wendy shrugged but she just smiled, saying nothing.

"Wendy, why not come to my company? I have already saved a position for you. If you can come, then we can be together all the time. And then I can take good of you. You don't need to worry about Julia or my mother. And in fact, our father has agreed this."

Wendy just shook her head firmly, "Bain, please just let me live my life. You know I can not get along with the whole Nicholson family."

"But he is your father. If you could just pretend to give in to him, then we could still live together happily."

"I won't do that," Wendy refused and shook her head, "I have no father."

"Wendy, dad indeed also wants to take care of you. You …"

"Bain, if you keep saying this, I will go back now."  Wendy put on a very serious expression. "I have told you that don't ever talk about your family matters to me."

Bain sighed. But before he could say something again, he saw his father leading by a waiter to come in. His mother was also following him.

Bain stood up and frowned to ask, "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

May glanced at Bain. She then said unhappily, "I called your secretary to ask about you. But he said you had left to have a dinner with your sister. I saw Julia sleeping at home. So I know you have come to see her."

"Mom …"

"Enough, this woman has brought such a big trouble to our company. How could you still have the mood to  eat with her? Bain, what are you thinking now in your head?"

"It has nothing to do with Wendy." Bain said coldly. "Don't just the blame Wendy for everything."

"Am I saying wrong? If it is not for her who dared to get involved with Henson, how could the Charles Group suddenly target our family without warning? Over the past years, we have never been at odds with each other. We never have crossed the bottom line, but because of this woman…"

"Enough!" Ken's voice was indeed not loud but still powerful. Looking at Bain, he ordered, "Bain, you should take your mother out first."

"Dad, mom. Wendy did not do anything wrong. Please don't …"

Wendy stood up to look at Bain, "Bain, please bring your mother out first."

Bain exhaled and said, "Wendy, how about you going home today. And I'll handle it here."

"Please just leave first." Wendy smiled at him.

Wendy knew that since Ken had brought May to find them. He must have something to say to her. Even if she could leave now, Ken would finally use his own way to bring her back to see him later. 

So why she bothered to leave now?

May was annoyed, "Ken, what are you going to say to her? Why do you want me to go out? Her shameless mother…"

"Miss. Nicholson." Wendy turned her face to look at her coldly, "Stop your humiliation on my mother. Or tomorrow, I will reveal my identity to the reporters, as long as you so eager to bring me into your family to get your wealth."

"You bi*ch! One more word about our money, I will tear your mouth apart."

Ken looked at Bain as if asking him to take his mother out.

Bain sighed. And he knew if his mother kept staying here, she would say more bad words to Wendy.

Thus, he decided to drag May out.

Then only Ken and Wendy were left in the room. Wendy took her seat and moved her gazes away.

Ken looked at her to ask, "How is your graduation?".

"Mr. Nicholson, please don't beat around the bush. Those emotional tricks are not suitable to us."

"Wendy Nicholson." Ken was unhappy for her attitude.

Wendy said, "Anyway, I won't correct your call to me. So just speak."

"What's your relationship with Henson?"

"It's my privacy."

"He's targeting our family. Did you ask him to do this?"

Wendy pursed her lips. Then she thought for a moment and said, "Who knows. Maybe it's me…."

"You …Wendy. Don't play such small tricks. If you want revenge, you come to us directly. Your mother will also be disappointed if she could know what you have done."

"Like I said before, don't mention my mother."

"Your mother is not bad woman."

"Of course, she isn't," said Wendy. She looked at Kne with resentment. "She's just a fool, who's cheated by you."

Ken frowned to look away, "Wendy, these things aren't that simple as you think. I have my difficulties too."

"I've already told you this emotional play is really suitable." Wendy stood up. "If you just want say this, then could I leave now?"

Ken then hurriedly said, "Break up with Henson. I have arranged a good man for you. You could find a time to meet him. If you two can get on well with each other, then you could marry him and leave San Diego."
