Chapter 42 : Loving Me was Enough
“Why are you here?”
The two of them spoke at the same time. Sethur was stunned for a second, then crossed her arms and said with a smile, “You still came to apply for a job with Glory Group? Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror? Are you here for Rex? Wendy, you are too arrogant. Rex is the high and mighty president of Glory Group. Why would he like someone like you?”
Wendy clenched her fists and looked at her indignantly. “Sethur, I don’t think there’s a need for you against me every time. Since you’re together with Justin, I wish you all the best. As for us, it would be great if we remain strangers in the future.”
After saying that, Wendy left with the document. She felt very upset and suddenly had the urge to make her relationship with Rex public. However, she had clearly said that she wanted to keep it secret in the past, and now she wanted to make it public. She was going too far.
Rex Gavyn was signing a contract with a client in his office. Wendy did not notice that there were other people in the office. She pushed the door open and went in. It was very awkward.
“Well…… Mr…… Mr…… Mr. Gavyn…… I’ll go first.”
“Come back!” Rex called out to her and turned to look at the other person. “Mr. Jefferson, I’m really sorry. Could you please go out for a while?”
“Okay.”
After Mr. Jefferson had left, Wendy still stood in the same place and glanced at Rex. When their eyes met, she immediately lowered her head and did not dare to look again.
“I’m sorry…… Did I disturb you……”
Rex crooked his finger. “Come here.”
Wendy slowly walked over and handed the document to him. “This is the document you asked.”
“I wasn’t satisfied with Mr. Jefferson’s offer to begin with. If you come, I’ll have a reason to send him away.” Rex’s tone was calm. Although it was just a casual sentence, it made Wendy feel much better.
“I won’t be home for dinner tonight,” Rex said.
“You’re not going home again?” The disappointment in Wendy’s tone was obvious. “You haven’t been home for a few days, um…… Uncle John……
“Uncle John misses you.”
Rex put down the document. “Don’t you miss me?”
Every time Rex asked her this question, Wendy didn’t know how to reply. If she says so, she is afraid that he will laugh at her. But if she says that she does not, she is not following her heart.
How could I not miss him? Even after raising a pet for such a long time, I would still have feelings for the little guy. Not to mention, we are husband and wife sleeping on the same bed and pillow.”
“Don’t go back.” Rex said.
“What did you say?” Wendy raised her head, her eyes filled with doubt.
“I want to see mom with you.”

“To see his parents?”
Rex sighed. “It’s your mother. I’ve been hiding it from you for a few days. Her condition has been getting worse. Fortunately, she has been rescued. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried. In addition, after we got married, we didn’t go to visit her officially. As her son-in-law, it’s time for me to visit her, isn’t it?”
How could he be so thoughtful?
“I thought that you would only yell at me,” Wendy said in a small voice.
Rex was in a good mood today and he was not angry. He just knocked her on the head. “Don’t think too much.”
Wendy’s heart skipped a beat. She had an inexplicable feeling that something between her and Rex was slowly changing.
Perhaps she hadn’t noticed it in time, or maybe she didn’t want to notice it at all. At the end of the day, she was afraid of getting hurt.
That night, she went out with Rex. On the way, they passed by a jewelry shop. Rex walked in with Wendy.
He said that he was going to pick up a gift for his mother.
Wendy looked at a diamond ring. The diamond on it sparkled brightly under the light. At the end of the day, she was still an ordinary person.
She wanted to have a romantic proposal, a grand wedding, but she had never thought that she would marry Rex. They had simply collected their marriage certificate and did not even have a diamond ring.
Rex had already noticed Wendy’s gaze and she couldn’t hide her thoughts on her face. Now, he could guess what she was thinking.
In fact, she didn’t need to think too much, because he had already thought about it for her, but now was not the right time.
Wendy, wait for me.
“I’ll take this.”
“Okay, sir.”
Wendy glanced at the necklace that Rex had chosen and nodded. “Yes, mom will definitely like it.”
“Do you want one?” Rex asked with a smile.
Wendy did not reply, but her eyes were filled with anticipation.
Rex then said, “If you want to get one, you’ll have to pay for it yourself.”
What a bad guy!
Halfway through their journey, Rex suddenly received a call. He said that there was a problem with the company’s business and that he had to show up.
Wendy wasn’t unreasonable, so she let him go and took a taxi to the hospital.
By the time she arrived, her mother had already fallen asleep. Wendy placed the gift next to her pillow and then sat to the side. Looking at the night sky outside, she felt complicated. “Mom, you used to say that I would marry a person who loved and loved me very much in the future, but I felt that Rex didn’t love me at all. Maybe he just liked me, and only because of a man’s hallow affection for women. Was it really my fault to marry him? In fact, neither of us is happy. I always felt that a person like him should be an outstanding woman. Why did he choose to marry me? Could it be that he really has mysophobia after sleeping with me for a night?”
Since she would leave sooner or later, she would cherish the time they had spent together before she left. This could be considered a little compensation for Rex when she was a child.
The next day, as soon as Wendy entered the classroom, she heard Sethur and the others gathered to discuss her.
One of the taller girls rolled her eyes at her and said, “I heard that you went to Glory Group to apply for the job? Wendy, did you seduce Justin? Now you’re interested in Rex? Who is Rex to you to seduce him?”
Wendy’s chest felt stuffy and she threw her bag on the table in a huff. “Stop that.”
“Wow, you’ve done an impure thing, yet you want us to put in a good word for you? Are you daydreaming?”
Wendy couldn’t stand it any longer. She raised her voice and said, “I’m married to Rex. We’re legally husband and wife. The entire Glory Group is mine!”
When she said this, Wendy was not very confident, but now she could only use Rex to save the situation.
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Sethur laughed so hard that she couldn’t stand straght. She pointed at Wendy and said, “Listen, she is insane. Get married? Wendy, you have to stop lying, right?”
“It’s true!” Wendy repeated.
Sethur stopped laughing and said coldly, “Well, since you have said so, why don’t you bring your husband here for us to have a look? It just so happens that we will believe you if you can bring him to this week’s gathering.”
“I’ll take it if you want, I’m not afraid of you!”
