Chapter 248
“Wendy, are you okay? What did Mr. Hawk bring you here for?”
Halsey and Cecelia quickly grabbed Wendy as she stood there, trying to process everything
Wendy furrowed her brows, still confused about what Stanley was doing. He had brought her to Imperial Garden and then said “sorry” twice–it was very out of character for him.
But then she remembered Luna’s pregnancy, and her frustration toward Stanley faded. She didn’t want to waste any more time on him.
“Let’s just go,” she said, her voice flat.
“Alright,” Halsey and Cecelia agreed.
The three of them left, and Stanley remained on the couch, his expression darkening as he masked the lust that flickered in his eyes.
Just then, Zayn entered and reported in a low voice, “Mr. Hawk, I’ve found something.”
Stanley looked up. “Go on.”
“It turns out Luna has a boyfriend in the countryside. He loves her very much, and he works the dirtiest and hardest jobs on a construction site to earn money so she can go to college. They’ve been sleeping together, and the child in Luna’s belly is his.”
Stanley’s lips curled into a cold, bitter smile. “Tomorrow is her birthday, right? Make sure we prepare her a very special gift.”
Zayn understood immediately. “Got it, Mr. Hawk.”
Stanley’s gaze sharpened as he looked at Zayn. “That night, it wasn’t Luna–it was Wendy who came to find me at the hospital. I’m surprised you didn’t know that. I don’t want this to happen again.”
Zayn immediately apologized, a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry, Mr. Hawk. I didn’t expect Mrs. Hawk to come looking for you. Looks like she still has feelings for you.”
Did she?
That night, after being drugged with the aphrodisiac incense, he had driven to the hospital to see her, thinking she would refuse him.
But she hadn’t.
She had come.
She was willing.
The next day.
Wendy, Halsey, and Cecelia arrived at the Gold Vista Hotel, only to discover that Luna’s birthday party was being held there.
The party was a big event–crowded with fans and media journalists.
Wendy spotted Luna, the star of the day.

Luna wore a stunning custom pink gown and had her hair styled in a princess braid. Her youthful, beautiful face shone with radiance as she posed for photos with her fans.
The fans were all praising her.
“Luna, you’re gorgeous!”
“You’re everything I hoped for. You’re just breathtaking.”
“Luna, can you sign something for me?”
Her manager, Yolanda, stepped forward. “Luna, it’s time to start the party.”
Luna grinned. “Yolanda, let’s wait a little longer. There’s a very important mystery guest who hasn’t arrived yet.”
The fans and journalists were all curious. “Ms. Fisher, who’s this mystery guest?”
Luna winked playfully, her voice sweet. “It’s a secret for now.”
Halsey and Cecelia exchanged looks of disbelief. “Some people are just disgustingly cheap.”
Wendy, who had originally planned to stay and eat, suddenly lost her appetite. “Let’s eat somewhere else.”
“Yeah, I can’t stomach being here either.”
The three of them turned to leave, but just then, Luna spotted Wendy from across the hall. She immediately walked over with a smug look on her face.
“Wendy, are you here for my birthday party?”
Wendy looked at her, seeing the clear sense of pride in Luna’s expression.
“No.”
Luna only smiled wider. “What’s wrong? Mr. Hawk will be here soon to attend my party. As my good friend, why don’t you stay and witness the happiest moment of my life?”
