Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife

Seeing the shock look on Wendy's face, Henson pinched the tip of her nose. "Weren't you about to take a nap?"

"Get out," she huffed and immediately turned away from him. 

"Why? I want a nap too," he said.

"I refuse to get involved with a man who belongs to Julia. Get out," she insisted.

"Are you angry?" he asked, his gaze pointing upward. 

"Do you need me to escort you out?" she asked, annoyed. 

He looked shocked. Was she actually angry at him right now?

"You're such a petty woman. Weren't you the one who started all this? I was just playing along, so how come you're the one who got angry first?" he asked.

After scoffing at him, she pulled the covers over herself and decided to ignore him for now.

In response, he hopped onto the bed and hugged her from behind.

The more she struggled, the tighter he held onto her. 

"Let go of me!" she hissed.

"Never," he replied.

"Henson, you meanie! Don't you dare kiss me," she ordered.

He kissed the back of her head instead. "Such a prickly woman. She's still this explosive when getting a kiss from her boyfriend," he replied.

"Go look for Julia then. Doesn't she want to get engaged to you? She should be your girlfriend instead," she scoffed.

He then got up from the bed to get to her side of the bed. He then looked at her with a loving expression on his face. "Fine, fine, I was in the wrong just now. I will never be engaged to her. I'll have to teach her a lesson since she's a Nicholson. I will never, ever marry her in my lifetime, so don't worry. The only person I want to marry is you," he assured her

and pulled her into his arms. "Hear my heartbeat, hear how fast it beats for you. We might've known each other for a long time now, but whenever I lay my eyes on you, my heart still races. Tell me, why should I marry a woman who once went through plastic surgery when I can marry the woman who makes my heart skip a beat every time I see her?" he asked.

Her face flushed crimson after hearing that. The way he said it was so smooth, it was as if his mouth was made up of sweet, sweet honey. 

But regardless of how smooth he was, she still recalled what Daisy had told her just now.

She bit her lip. "Why do the Charles hate the Nicholson's so much?" she asked after a long moment of hesitation.

He fell silent.
