Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 181

swnovels.com When the weekend came, Wendy didn't waste any time and spent both days reading at home.

Out of all the women Henson knew, she was the only one who loved reading the most.

Out of all the women he knew, all of them had tried to seduce him in all sort of ways... except her.

She was the only one who didn't take him seriously at all.  

She didn't even bother to dress up in front of him, much less seduce him.

Sometimes, he'd even question the ancient saying 'women will always dress up for the men they like' as this obviously didn't apply to her.

He'd gotten so used to her sloppiness up till a point where he no longer found women who caked their faces with makeup or wore miniskirts pleasing to the eye.

When Sunday afternoon rolled around, he'd planned to take her for a walk as he managed to return home from work early,

but he found her holed up at his desk in his study instead. "I don't wanna," she replied to his plans without even raising her head. 

She'd curled up in his wide and spacious chair like a lazy cat would.

He walked over to her and asked, "Don't you want to go shopping? Buy some new bags or clothes etc.? I saw they just released a new line of winter clothing the other day. I can bring you there to take a look," 

She lifted her head to shoot him a look. "I have enough clothes." she retorted.

"But you've already worn out your wardrobe for so long. I can take you there to buy new ones," he offered.

"All my clothes, I bought with my own blood, sweat and tears, so why should I buy new ones just because you tell me to? I refuse," she insisted.

"You-" he said and pulled a chair over to sit on the other side of the desk.

"Oh Wendy, why don't you ever put on makeup in front of me? Do you really think that you don't even need to try anymore after you managed to charm me?" he asked.

She lifted her gaze again to stare at him. "Did I charm you though? The reason why I never wear makeup in front of you is because I feel most comfortable dressed up like this. You're wearing comfy clothes at home too, so why can't I? Also, as a professor's assistant, is there any need to dress up in the first place? It's not like I'm planning on seducing anyone on campus or anything," she scoffed.

He felt relieved after hearing her say that. After all, the fact that she felt comfortable showing him her casual side was a sign of her affirmation towards him.

He liked her more this way too.

However... this also meant that she didn't really take him seriously. He felt that it was impossible to get her to spend his money even though he was loaded. 

She leaned forward closer to the desk. "Oh, right! Can you help me with this question? I seemed to have encountered a few difficulties again," she said.
