Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 136

"What happened?" asked Henson with a soft voice as he looked at Wendy gently.

May say sorrowfully before Wendy, "Mr. Charles, Wendy is too rude. I just wanted to say have a talk with her. But she got angry out of nowhere and caught hold of my hand. Julia went over to stop her. Then she pushed Julia into the pool."

There was no witnesses around at the time, so they could make up anything.

After May finished her speaking, she walked to Julia and hugged her with sorry.

"Julia, sorry, it's all my fault. I really wish I were the one who had been pushed into the cold water. I am sorry to make you suffer such a humiliation."

"Mom, please don't say that," Julia almost cried, "I am your daughter."

Because of their touching show, Wendy naturally became the bad girl.

"Miss, just apologize to them to show your sincere sorry. This small misunderstanding then can be cleared up. Don't be afraid to admit your mistake." Someone suddenly suggested Wendy in the crowd.

"Yeah, this is General Burke's party. And we should not ruin such a good night."

Looking at Henson, Wendy began to think for Henson. If she did not do anything now, she would probably implicate Henson.

But if she did say sorry to them, they would definitely think she admitted having pushed Julia into the pool.

But she didn't, then why should she apologize to them?

Wendy was very sad.

Henson pulling Wendy behind his back, he turned around to look at Wendy and asked her with a resolute face, "Don't listen to what they say. I only believe your words. Tell me now, are they saying the truth?"

Wendy had already thought the worst situation that she might part with Henson after today for she wouldn't be able to say sorry to May and Julia.

But unexpectedly, Henson suddenly asked her such a question. Wendy hurriedly replied, "No, I didn't push her. Do you believe me?"

"Yes, I believe you."

Instantly, tears welled up in Wendy's eyes.

Julia shouted out angrily, "Mr. Charles, how can you just listen to her one-sided statement? Even though I can't find a witness for myself,but why should I jump into the water? Am I crazy? Although it's summer, the water is still very cold at night."

Henson hugged Wendy by her waist and said confidently, "Because I know her, so I only need to listen to her words. Or you mean I should trust you two strangers instead?"

"But it's unfair to me. She really pushed me just now.

"

Henson said firmly, "Wendy wouldn't have to lie. Since no one else here really saw what happened, then everything's possible. I don't believe Wendy could push you into the water so easily in front of your mother. You are two people, while Wendy is alone to see you. You're obviously in the advantageous position.

"I…" Julia felt wronged to cry again.

What a bad luck she had. She had even jumped into the water already. Why did Henson still not believe her and treat her so bad?

Henson used some strength to hug Wendy. Then he led her to the backyard.

After getting a servant to bring his farewells to General Burke, he left the party with Wendy.

At the front door, Wendy asked, "Have I get you some trouble?"

"Not at all."

"But others might say that I have ruined the party, not showing respect to General Burke."

"Heh, when did I ever care about that?"

"But… If General Burke also thinks this in the same way..."

Henson stroke Wendy's head, "Don't worry, although General Burke is old now, 81 years old, he is not a fool. He can distinguish right from wrong. You don't need to worry about this at all. Let's just go home."

Wendy looked at Henson with gratitude. After a moment of hesitation, Wendy stepped forward to embrace him. "Thanks for trusting me."

This's her first time to take the initiative to hug him, Henson felling overjoyed.

He hugged her back and said, "How rare your hug to me is!"

Wendy sighed. "I felt aggrieved and worried before. In the case, if even you didn't believe me, I…"

"Why didn't I?" Henson lovingly rubbed Wendy's head, "Didn't you trust me on such a small thing?"

Wendy pursed her lips into a smile. She then tried to get her face out of his breast, but Henson tightened his grip on her.

"Where do you want to go?" asked Henson.

"Didn't you say that we should go back now?" 

"Well, yes, until I've hugged you enough."

"When?"

"I'm not sure."

Wendy raised her head to look at Henson and said, "Someone might come out form the house at any time."

"You'e afraid of that? Why? Because of me? "

"No, I mean, this does not look good."

Henson smiled and lowered his head to kiss on her lips.

After that, he released Wendy.

"Come get into the car."

They took the back seats. Henson asked, "Why did you go to the backyard with them?"

"They hold me with hands. I thought I couldn't have a fight with them in such a occasion. If I knew my forbearance would bring bigger trouble to me, I will choose to fight with them in the first place."

Henson laughed, "But you will be at a disadvantage if you really fight with them."

Wendy pursed her lips and said, "Yeah, whatever. I just feels good to have you stand by my side. This's my first time to get such unconditional trust in public."

"First time?"

"Yes. When I was nine, my mother took me to the Nicholson house once. We have no way to get a penny, so my mother wanted to get the upkeep from Ken.

"My mother and Ken's wife then went to the study room to have a chat, while Julia and I were left in the living room. Julia's very angry to see us, so she smashed Ken's favorite vase in front of me."

"Then after they finished talking, Julia complained to them that I broke the vase. Ken was about to hit me before even asking me a word, but he's finally stopped by my mother who rushed to stand in front of me. She protected me but also apologized to them at the same time."

"None of them bothered to give me a chance to explain myself. May said the vase was very expensive, and she would deduct the money from my upkeep."

"After my mother took me back home from the Nicholson family, she kept silent and didn't say a word to me for a whole day. I thought she was angry with me. But at night, when I came to apologize to her, she said she let me down."

“She knew I didn't break the vase for I wouldn't touch those things in the room. But she didn't dare to speak for me. She's afraid that Ken would ask for my custody right and took me away from her. And in that case, I might live a harder life in that family."

"So after that, however difficult a situation we met, my mother didn't ask any money from him anymore."

"This's a secret hidden in my heart for years. I always wondered why I feel so aggrieved at that time. Then I thought maybe because I didn't even get a chance to explain myself; or maybe because, to some degree, I didn't believe anyone would believe me in the world back then. "

Henson frowned for hearing what the Nicholson family had done to her.

He took Wendy's hand and said, "I promise you, even the world abandons you, I will always stand by your side in the future."lightnoveldaily.com
