Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 186

swnovels.com Wendy merely kept quiet and listened as Ross kept ranting.

After he was finished ranting, he finally ended on a frustrated note. "I'm sure that she won't give up on me that easily. After all, she's the one who keeps bringing up the fact that she stood by my side during my hardest times. She definitely won't let all her efforts all those years go to waste," he said.

"But what if she keeps clinging onto you after this? What are you going to do then?" she probed.

He looked at her and gave her a weak smile. "Since this is the decision I've made, I'm aware that there would come a time where I have to sacrifice everything. Worst case scenario is me no longer working here. I want to see how far she's willing to go to salvage this broken relationship," he replied. 

"But you just came back from abroad," she said and frowned.

"I was willing to give up such a great job abroad to come here just for her back then, but I'm also willing to give everything up just to start over again because of her now," he said firmly. 

She had no qualms with that, as her Big Bro Ross was already a grown man. He was big enough to make his own decisions on his own accord, and she had absolutely no right to dictate what he did.

After a long chat, her phone started ringing just as they were about to leave.

She picked up the call immediately after seeing it was Henson who'd called. 

"Who is it you're having lunch with?" he asked.

"Ross. We're at the hotel near where he works now," she answered.

"I haven't had my lunch yet," he said with a twinge of annoyance in his voice.

"Oh, really? I already ate though," she snickered.

"Wendy," he called out her name.

She smiled through pursed lips. "Well, why didn't you eat anything then? Did someone seal your mouth? Who'd be so bold to do so? Should I send Howell over to teach them a lesson for you?" she joked.

"Oh, shut it, I'm famished. Swing by the company to drop me my lunch, I'll be waiting. If you don't come, you better ready yourself for what's to come tonight," he threatened.

Before she could get a word in, he'd already hung up.

She didn't know what to say. He was being really unreasonable right now.

While she stuffed her phone into her bag, 

Ross piped up, "Was that Master Henson just now?" 

"Yep," she answered curtly.

"It sure looks like you two are getting along just fine," he remarked.

"I... guess so?" she said with a shrug.

"I keep hearing people say he's an unapproachable man, but it seems like the rumours have been inflated quite a bit," he commented.

She felt somewhat guilty after hearing him say that. If only he could see how Henson dealt with his suitors and subordinates, then he'd know that what he'd said wasn't too far from the truth.

Regardless, she still felt like she was a lucky woman. At least she herself knew that he was a good guy who was easy to get along with.

"Everyone has two faces, I suppose.
