Chapter 172 Master Henson''s Super Daring
Sally furrowed her brows. Was Master Henson implying that Ross would break up with her?
Although she felt displeased on the inside, she daren''t let it show on her face and merely smiled in
response before saying, "That''s true, couples can still go their separate ways after getting married. Will
you be marrying Wendy anytime soon, Master Henson?"
He turned his head to look at Wendy squarely in the eyes. "I n to marry her the moment she says
''yes''. She keeps insisting that she''s still young and that she wants me to wait a bit longer though. I
really don''t know how else to persuade her at this point. Oh, right! I hope both Uncle and Auntie can
help me persuade her as well. You both know how stubborn she can be at times," he joked.
Wendy flushed a bit after hearing that and Ross'' mother chuckled as she looked at her. "That''s right,
this youngdy still has that headstrong personality from when she was younger. You know, Wendy,
when fatees knocking at your door, you should answer it and marry him as soon as you can. Then,
you can have kids and experience the joys of life sooner," she giggled.
"I fully agree with that," he said with a nod.
"You''d better stop talking and focus on your food," she said and pped him on the arm
before turning to his mother to quickly say, "I don''t think we need to rush getting married, Auntie. I just
graduated from university this year, after all, and I n to work till I''m financially stable before settling
down. Also, I need lots of time to test the waters,"
His mother merely shook her head and giggled. "This child is really something," she thought.
Rosster raised his wine ss and directed his words to Henson, "A toast, Master Henson, to your
sess of securing such a wonderful girlfriend,"
Henson smirked as he raised his wine ss to clink it with his. "Thanks a lot," he replied and sipped
some wine before continuing,
"Wendy told me you''re currently working at Grande Mall,"
"Yeah. Before this, I was working at headquarters but I waster transferred to the branch in San
Diego. So, now I''m responsible for managing the shopping malls in the San Diego division," Ross
replied.
Henson nodded in understanding. "Then, I suppose you must be doing pretty well for yourself now, Mr.
Lowry. The way I see it, an aplished man should be careful and finicky when ites to choosing
a life partner. It''d be a shame if one makes decisions that might impede and spell trouble to themter
on in life, you know," Henson said,
his words cryptic on the surface, but everyone at the table immediately understood what he was
referring to.
Wendy snuck a nce at Sally to see that the arrogant look she disyed just now had already
vanished without a trace. Anyone could see that she looked depressed now.

After all, who could stand being looked down upon to such an extent?
After dinner, Henson and Wendy bade their farewells to the Lowry''s and left for home.
The moment they left, Ross dragged Sally to the downstairs entrance of their apartmentplex.
"Why did youe over tonight?" He shouted at her in anger.
"What''s with the attitude? You want to pick a fight with me? Don''t tell me you n to heed Mr. Charles
advice just now? You want to toss me aside for another woman? Don''t forget that I was the one who
stuck by you when you were at your lowest four years ago, Ross Lowry," she screamed back.
"But you''ve changed, Sally, you really have. You were understanding and kind and you didn''t treat me
like I was an object back then, but what about now? I already told you a million times before, I''m not the
kind of man who would cheat on you, but did you ever trust me?
"Why is it that you always humiliate every woman who appears in my life, especially those who are
unwed? Do you ever think about how I feel whenever you do that? Now, because of you, I''m seen as a
shameless yboy in the eyes of others.
"I know. I know that you stayed by my side and wasted a big chunk of your youth on me, but when
have I ever let you down in the four years since? And when I tried proposing to you, who was it who

said that she wanted to wait a few more years?" He ranted.
A pained expression formed on her face and tears started falling from her eyes. "What are you trying to
say? Are you seriously breaking up with me right now?" She said in between sobs.
He sighed. "No one''s breaking up with you. I''m just asking you to stop acting like a madwoman. You''ll
only tire me out if you only spend your days either shopping or pining for me. I really don''t want our
rtionship to just end like that after spending the past four years together," he begged.
With that, he spun around and started walking to his car. "Let''s go. I''ll drive you home," he said.
She hurriedly walked in front of him and spread out her arms to block his path. "Then, why is it that you
told me you didn''t have time when I asked you to go to the movies with me? And in the end, when I
went looking for you, you''d brought another woman home for dinner. Am I wrong for being angry
