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."
