Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife

When Wendy arrived home, Henson was watching business news on TV in the living room.

He smirked upon seeing her smug face and commented, "It appears that the problem has been solevd pretty well,"

She then hopped over to his side of the sofa like a giddy rabbit and plopped herself in the spot right beside him.

"Let me tell you a supernatural story of how I was destined to meet Linda from the start," she started. 

He switched off the television and focused all of his attention on her. "I'm listening," he smirked.

She proceeded to tell him about the coffee shop incident Linda had related to her just now. 

She crossed her arms upon finishing the story. "Back then, I felt really accomplished since that was the first time I saved someone after learning how to do CPR. But after knowing her sister's story, don't you think I deserve to feel proud of myself at the fact that I was able to grant someone happiness by saving a life?" she asked.

"Yep, you're super cool for doing that. It seems like Linda really does have your back on this one," he replied while tousling her hair.

She nodded profusely at that and said, "She's helped me countless of times before this too. Like that one time where she helped me by lending me her scarf after seeing that I got hickeys on my neck," She then slapped her hands together and continued, "It feels really nice knowing that someone has your back, doesn't it?" 

"I've never seen you this happy even though I always have your back," he pouted. 

She giggled and shot him a look. "You don't understand. It just feels different when you know you have a woman who has your covered compared to a man," she said.

"How's it different?" he asked.

"There's lust thrown into the mix whenever you say you have my back, but it's different for women. When women say they have your back, it's pure and unadulterated. 'I think you're a good person, so I'll have your back no matter what'. That's the difference between the two," she explained.

He raised an eyebrow after hearing that. "Oh? But the only thing I've heard women say are the three things they should avoid - fire, theft and bestie," he said.

"Killjoy," she shot and pouted.

"I’m just saying. No one will treat the other well for no reason, whether it be men, women, or even friends, especially when it comes to their emotions. You're not wrong in saying that the reason I'm so nice to you is because I want to be with you, but I feel the same goes for Linda. She's being nice to you as she wants to repay you, no?" 

She raised an eyebrow in response. "Then what about my bestie, Judy? Why do you reckon she's best friends with me?" she snapped.

"Doesn't it have to do with your trust and love for her? After all, it's really hard to find someone whom you can trust and also love unconditionally in this world," he said

then rubbed her head. "Am I wrong for saying that then?" he asked.
