Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 134

She turned to look at Henson beside her with questioning eyes.

"I don't know either." Henson knew Wendy was asking him about the Nicholson family. But he really didn't know why they were here tonight.

From his expression, Wendy knew Henson was saying the truth.

After all, Henson also hated them. He may even hate them more than her.

"Then need we leave here now?"

"General Burke invited me here. He has always been good to me since I was young. I have to show my respect to him." Henson lead Wendy to walk inside.

Julia walked to them with giggles. She wore a white strapless dress.

But the neckline of her dress was to low. The two lumps of flesh on her breast seemed to leap out at any time.

Wendy felt disgusted.

But Julia still smiled happily at them.

"Wendy, you're here too. What a happy coincidence! Right?"

"The Sun rises from the West today?" Wendy asked in reply with satire. 

Julia was not angry at her this time. She still wore a kind look and pretended closed with her, "You naughty girl, why are you so easy to get angry? I did not say anything bad at all. You're a grown man now. Stop being so childish. Mr. Charles will laugh at you."

As she said these, she looked at Henson with a shy smile, "Mr. Charles, nice to see you again."

"Have we met before?"

Wendy almost laughed out.

Henson did this on purpose. She's 100% sure.

Julia felt embarrassed but still added, "Mr. Charles, you must forget the time we met at the club."

"Oh? Sorry, I have no impression of you."

Julia could nearly not keep her fake smile. She immediately added, "Yes. Wendy was also there. Yes, I remember your younger brother was also in the room. Right? Wendy?"

"When? I forgot it."

"You're asking me?" Henson raised his eyebrows to Wendy, "I told you that I don't remember that."

"Then, Miss. Nicholson, we will not disturb you any longer."

After finishing her speaking, Wendy looked to Henson and said, "I'm hungry now."

"Okay, go eat something now."

They then walked past Julia to the long table for food.

Julia turned around, gnashing her teeth with anger.

Her mother May walked over to her and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Why do you just let them leave like that?"

Julia was in a very bad mood, "It's Wendy's fault.

The sl*t caused trouble to me all this time."

"Such a b*tch. How dares she ruin your plan. I won't let her off the hook."

Julia looked at her mother and said, "Mum, look over there, Wendy is always staying close with Mr. Charles. Then how can I develop relationship with him?"

"Don't be in such a rush. We should wait and see what will happen later."

Julia then followed May to go back to his father with an angry face.

A few minutes later, General Burke walked out from the house with the support of his butler.

Everyone soon gathered around him and greeted at him warmly expect Henson, who did not even move an inch. Wendy asked him curiously, "Why are you standing here? Didn't you say that he treats you very well before?"

"There are so many people around him now. I can greet her later. No need to be so hurry."

After sever minutes, the crowd gradually scattered from General Burke.

Then his gaze fell on Henson.

Henson smiled and said to Wendy, "Follow me."

Wendy put down her food hurriedly. She followed Henson to stand in front of General Burke.

"Grandfather, how are you recently?"

General Burke patted him on the shoulder, "I'm fine. You little br*t. You hasn't come to see me since you came here with Peter half a month ago."

As he spoke with Henson, his gaze fell upon Wendy. "Is this your girlfriend?"

Wendy’s face turned red. She then hastily waved her hands to deny, "No, I …"

Before she could finish her words, Ken's loud laughter interrupted her.

"General Burke, your looked tougher and tougher over time. In terms of a strong body, you are second to none in San Diego at your age."

Hearing Ken's voice, Wendy instinctively felt bad.

General Burke nodded at Ken as a greet and smiled to say, "Thanks."

Ken pulled Julia to his front with benevolence and introduced her, "General Burke, this is my daughter Julia. She has been very excited to see you today for she always admires heroes."

Julia walked forward and respectfully bowed to him, "Nice to meet you, Grandfather."

Edward sized up Julia for a long time. He then nodded his head to her, "Um, you little girl should wear more clothes. It’s cold outside."

Julia laughed to reply, "Grandfather, it's alright. I'm not cold at all."

Edward's expression smiled fade away.

Henson looked at Julia with disdain. Such a stupid woman.

Wendy then looked down at her clothes, realizing why Henson got her such a conservative cheongsam now.

General Burke liked this.

Ken shot a slant eye at Julia, and then winked at May.

May soon took off her white silk cloak to put it on Julia.

"General Burke, please don't mind.

She's still a young naive girl. But she is not that smart but always treats us with filial affection. She gave her little cloak to me before in case that I might get cold later. Please forgive her this time."

At first, Julia still wanted to say something, but May pinched her on her waist.

Juila didn't know what she had done wrong, but she did not say a word anymore.

Edward nodded his head and said, "It's a good thing that she thinks for you. But the girls still should dress in a dignified way. Look at this girl. She has dressed properly."

Edward pointed a finger at Wendy.

Julia felt angery instantly.  Edward was really an old geezer.

Her dress was the latest and the most fashionable type.

How could Wendy compare with him?

Seeing Julia's angry expression, Wendy smiled and bowed to Edward, "Thank you, General Burke."

Edward nodded to her and looked at Henson to say, "Henson, I have something private to say with you. Come in with me."

Henson then said to Wendy, "You can come with me."

Wendy shook her head. "No. You can go in yourself. I'll go eat something else there myself."

Wendy wasn't stupid. General Burke had already said he wanted to talk with him alone.

Henson smiled and nodded to her.

They entered the living room and took the seats. The butler got some tea for them.

General Burke said, "Henson, Peter tells me that you don't have a girlfriend yet."

Henson smiled and said, "Peter? Neither does him."

"That br*t always put on a stern face. Which girl dares to like him? I'm afraid I won't t see him getting marriage and hug my great-grandson before I die."

"Grandfather, don't say that. He is popular among women."

"Let's not talk about him. The reason why I asked you here tonight is that I have to repay a favor."

"What favor?"

"I owned the Nicholson family a favor. May's father once helped me. But before he died, I could not pay back his favor. You know I don't like to own others anything.

"A few days ago, his son-in-law, that Ken came looking for me. He asked me to be a matchmaker for his daughter. Then he told me that his daughter like you."lightnoveldaily.com
