Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife

Chapter 137

Wendy was taken aback.

No one had said this to her before.

It felt like as long as she had Henson, she would still feel be safe when the whole world abandoned

her. It made Wendy feel both happy and scared.

She didn't know what this kind of feeling meant.

The next day at school, Wendy just went into the office and got a notice that a big basketball event

would be held here soon among the universities.

Carmen complained, "According to my experience, I find that it's not the organizers but we common

people who do the legwork will be the most tired ones."

"Actually ti's a pretty good event. At least it's more interesting to watch than those boring poetry

recitation competitions. Young handsome boys playing basketball energetically are worthy of watching."

said Cael.

Carmen said in a depressed tone, "But what's the most difficult is to find a good player. In the fact, we

always spent the most time in selecting players, but never got a good result. Complaints from the

students could be heard everywhere though."

Wendy joined in their discussion. She left the office with Linda to send the notice to every class.

Linda said to her, "Actually, we just need to follow the procedure to do the basic work. This kind of

competition is held every year. Students here have known well about this competition. Carmen is right

that even if we find many players, it would be useless in the end for we won't let all of them be the final

players."

Wendy suddenly remembered Gorman was once the MVP before.

Gorman got the trophy to hold it high, then he shouted out the confession, "Wendy Evans, I like you."

Back to her sense, Wendy let out a faint sneer and shook her head.

"What's wrong?" Linda looked at her and asked.

"Um? Nothing."

Thinking of the past, Wendy not only wanted to sigh but also found it laughable.

In the afternoon, a friendly basketball contest was held in the basketball court.

Wendy sat nearby to watch it. Not long later, her phone started vibrating in her pocket.

It's Julia.

Wendy hung up immediately.

After Wendy hung up Julia's sixth call, her phone finally stopped ringing.

She then absorbed herself with the competition again. The's the second half between the Business

Management Department and the Astronomical Department now. But when it just begun, someone

patted her on the shoulder from behind.

Wendy turned around only to see Julia was standing behind her.

Her expression turned cold instantly.

Under the the gazes of many teachers, Julia smiled to Wendy slightly, "Wendy, I've called you so many

times.

But why didn't you pick it up? You make me come here personally to find you."

"What are you doing here?" Wendy looked at her coldly.

"I have something to say to you."

Not far from them, Howell frowned to see Julia talking with Wendy.

He guested to stop the match and ran to them.

Julia greeted Howell and smiled lightly at him, "Hello, Howell, long time no see."

"What are you here?"

"Of course for Wendy. But I didn't expect you're studying in this school too. No wonder you are familiar

with Wendy."

"Why do you come here?" asked Wendy to Howell.

"I'm afraid you might need some help."

Wendy patted Howell on his shoulders, "Go play your games. I can handle it myself."

"But…"

"Hurry up. I am still waiting for you to bring the cup to me."

Howell slid Julia a sideways cold glance. "Shout my name if you need my help then."

Wendy nodded to him. Howell then returned to the arena.

Julia gnashed her teeth. But she still wore a smile as she spoke, "Wendy, come to a quieter place with

me. I do have something to say with you."

Wendy left with Julia.

Not far away, Gorman watched them leaving and frowned.

Isn't the woman next to Wendy Julia Nicholson?

Why would she come to look for Wendy?

Wendy crossed her arms as she looked at Julia with a cold face, "What is it?"

Julia stared at Wendy for a while. "Are the Charles brothers all blind? Why would they cherish such a

common girl like you so much?" said Julia.

"Cut the crap and just say your purposes. Or scram now. I don't want to wasting time talking to a stupid

with pretentious nature."

Julia laughed coldly, "Wendy, don't pretend so pure and innocent in front of me. Do you think Mr.

Charles likes you for real? Let me tell you the truth, you won't smile anymore in few days. General

Burke had already helped my family to discuss with Henson about the marriage between he and me.

He may not care about others' face but will listen to General Burke's words to marry me. So you will

lose for sure."

Wendy frowned to think of the conversation between General Burke and Henson last night.

"Impossible, General Burke knew the Charles family well.

There is no way that he didn't know you two families have old grudges."

"So what? General Burke owed my grandfather a favor. So when my father asked him for help about

this thing, he agreed without hesitation. The hatred is from the last generation and has nothing to do

with me."

Seeing Julia's complacent face and arrogant attitude, people would mistake that she's to be married to

Henson tomorrow.

But… Henson did not mention it to her yesterday.

Henson wouldn't lie to her, so she wouldn't buy Julia's words.

"Really? Then congratulations to you." Wendy sneered at her.

Seeing Wendy's indifferent attitude, Julia went angry, "What? You don't believe me?"

But Wendy was still very calm and said, "I said, congratulations to you."

Julia looked at her coldly, "Fine. It's up to you. Believe or not, you lost. Just wait and see."

After saying that, Julia gave a cold snort to her and left elegantly.

Wendy was about to go back to see the game, but Gorman came to her.

He blocked Wendy's way. "She's Miss Nicholson, right? Why would she come here to find you?"

"None of your business." said Wendy.

"You always treat me like this, hiding varied secrets from me. You told me that I should not ask too

many questions about you or probe your privacies. Fine, I didn't do that for I respected you. But...

Wendy, sometimes I really don't know who you really are? Are you the true Wendy I knew or a totally

different people who just looks like her?"

Wendy looked at Gorman. "There's no point to say this. No matter who am I, we are done now. Is there

any point of saying these stupid things now?"

"So, even if I just asked such a common question to you out of concern, you will still refuse to answer

it, right?"

Wendy did not say a word.

"Alright. I'll find it out myself," Gorman walked back to the basketball court again.

"Stop! Gorman." Wendy frowned to shout out, "Why do you have to go so far? "

Gorman turned around while the Principal's car was also driving past the basketball court. A few Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

seconds, the car stopped.

Hearing the sound of the car, Wendy turned around to see Mrs. Taylor walking off the car, with cold

eyes looking at her. lightnoveldaily.com
