Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 75

After lunch, Judy held hands with Wendy to have a walk around the campus.

As they walked around, their four years together seemed to flash past their eyes.

Judy leaned on Wendy's shoulder. "How time flies!"

"Yep. Four years before just like yesterday."

"Do you want to continue your study?"

"Mm," Wendy nodded, "As you know, even I have got a position here, but I wouldn't be able to be an university teacher directly with just a bachelor degree. I don't want to be a admin staff here for my whole life. That's not my dream."

"But, you will feel hard to work and study together at the same time."

"But life is hard too. Besides, the academic atmosphere is good in school. I like that."

"I don't know what to say now. Everyone wants an easy life after entering the university. But only you would tire yourself. Didn't you know you've missed the best four years of your life already?"

"You can think it in a different way like, I have got you as a friend."

"Ah, such a sweet talk."

"I am saying the truth."

They then smiled to each other. Their university time really ended.

Judy leaving at night , Wendy really did not go to send her off.

She wasn't afraid to see Judy's tears, while she also thought she would cry too.

After all, Judy had accompanied her for four years, the most beautiful period of the life. Wendy liked her from the bottom of the heart.

Henson coming to her for dinner, he saw Wendy sitting on the stairs before the apartment gate, staring at the sky blankly.

Henson got out of the car. He walked over to her, "What're you looking at?"

Wendy pointed to the sky, "The airplanes."

"What's so good to look at it?"

"Won't you be curious about the passengers? Their identity, their destinations, their secrets or their families."

"Judy is on the plane now?" Henson sat beside her and guessed.

Wendy shook her head, "She takes the bullet train."

"But why are you staring at the plane?"

"I envy her," Wendy said straightforwardly. "Every year during vacations, they all have a home to get back. When they returned, they will bring a lot of specialties prepared or made by their parents to school. At that time, I could not help but feel shameful."

"Now we all graduated.They left. And I am still the one who was left behind without a home or a family or a big dream. I suddenly feel my life is so…"

Wendy stopped to look at Henson. "Don't feel pity for me.

I'm saying this only because I am jealous of them."

Henson reached out to hold her shoulders. "No one will feel pity for you. Why are you pitiful? Relatives are not the main reason of a happy life. We all have different troubles. Furthermore, who said you did not have any relative now? You have me."

Wendy's eyes turned red.

For a lonely people, 'You have me' was the best cure.

Henson turned to look at her with a doting smile.

"Wendy, I hope one day, you could really be yourself in front of me. After taking off your armor, you can get warmth with me together. Then we will not be lonely anymore."

Wendy almost forget that he was also a lonely person. 

……

On Saturday morning, the phone ring woke Wendy up.

She thought it was her alarm clock, trying to switch it off. 

However, her phone rang again after a few minutes. 

Didn't she turn off the alarm last night, did she? 

Wendy opened her eyes to get the phone. It was Howell.

This little br*t. Why did he called her on weekends? 

Wendy picked up the phone with a lazy voice, "Hello."

"Sister Wendy, why did you hang up just now?"

Sister Wendy? 

This title was truly ear-piercing. 

"Howell, I haven't married with your brother yet." 

"It's alright. Just a title. When are you coming here?" 

She frowned, "To where?"

"Do you forget that we are going to the suburb to have a vocation? Henson said he had told you this." 

Wendy did forget it a long time ago. 

Originally, she planned to have a full sleep and wake up naturally. Then she could go out for a stroll.

However... 

"But I have other plans today. Sorry, I won't be there." 

"Henson and I will pick you up soon. Wait for us at home now and postpone your plans." 

After Howell finished his speaking, he hung up instantly. 

Wendy was speechless. 

She feeling annoyed to rub her long hair, she got off the bed to wash up.

She could just finish her breakfast, then her phone rang. 

It was Henson. Wendy picked it up helplessly.

"Hello." 

"Go downstairs. We have arrived." 

"Can I say no now?"

"What do you think?" Henson's voice was still very calm,"Or you want me to carry you downstairs?" 

Wendy then hang up and went downstairs with a small bag. 

She got into the car but only saw Henson. She asked with surprise, "You are alone?"

 "Not enough?"

"I mean Howell said he would come as well."

Henson acknowledged that but added, "I ask him to set off with the other car. I don't need him to play gooseberry." 

Wendy looked at him speechlessly, "How could say your brother like this?"

Henson smiled, "But we could stay alone now."

Wendy frowned. "You..." 

"Too late." Henson laughed.

Wendy rolled her eyes at him. "Can we come back early today? I should do the laundry today. "

" We won't be back today."

"Huh?" Wendy was stunned. "What do you mean?" 

"Our trip will take two days and one night." 

"Then why didn't you say this to me earlier?" Wendy became anxious.

"I have told you to spare two days for me."

"But you didn't say we were going out for two consecutive days. I thought you have not chosen the exact dates."

Wendy felt depressed, "Turn around, and I want to go back home." 

"It's too late." 

"But I didn't bring any clothes with me. I just came with this small bag." 

"What else do you want? It's only small vocation."

"I don't even get a nightgown with me."

"You can wear mine." Wearing... His?
