Wendy felt like she was being roasted over an open flame. What was Stanley doing? Did he really want to hear her call him “Stanley“?
He was definitely messing with her again.
Wendy shot him a glare. Stanley, however, only smiled slightly, clearly enjoying himself.
At that moment, a phone rang, breaking the tension. Wendy’s phone was ringing.
It was like a lifeline. Wendy quickly stood up. “Enjoy your meal, everyone. I need to take
this call.”
Wendy stepped into the hallway to answer the phone. It was Samuel calling.
“Wendy, I’m already in Hovendale. Where are you?”
“I’m in Feirwale right now, but I’ll be back in a couple of days.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Wendy hung up the phone and turned to leave, but as she did, she collided with a warm,
muscular chest.
“Ah!”
Her phone slipped from her hand and fell toward the floor.
Her phone!
Wendy quickly reached down to grab it.
However, a large, well–defined hand stretched out first and caught the phone in midair. Wendy looked up, and Stanley’s handsome, refined face came into view.
Stanley! What was he doing here?

“Mr. Hawk, give me my phone back!” Wendy quickly said.
She reached for her phone, but Stanley raised his arm, keeping it out of her reach.
What was he playing at?
Wendy, standing on her toes, leaned toward him to try to grab her phone. “Mr. Hawk, that’s my phone. Please give it back to me!”

Stanley, towering over her, looked down at her with his dark eyes. “I can give it back to you,
but you have to call me Stanley.”
He had followed her here just to make her call him “Stanley“.
Wendy tilted her head up, gazing at him with her clear, delicate face. “I’m not calling you that. I don’t need your help, and I’m not going to work for your company.”
Stanley’s lips curved into a smile. “So you don’t want a job?”
He could understand if she hadn’t worked these past years—after all, she had been taking
care of him.
But did she still not want to work?
Wendy, of course, wasn’t going to reveal her true situation to him. Her bright eyes fluttered as she replied, “I can’t compare to you. After you graduated, you listed your first company. Me? I’m just a full–time housewife, completely out of touch with the world.”
She was belittling herself.
Stanley couldn’t tell if she was speaking the truth or not, but as she spoke, her eyes sparkled with wit and life, like stars in the sky–captivating at first glance.
He was drawn in by her.
“So what are your plans for the future?” Stanley asked softly.
“What plans could I have? Maybe I’ll fall in love again, get remarried. If I end up with

someone like you, maybe I’ll get a big chunk in the divorce settlement and be set for life.”
Stanley reached out and gently cupped her small chin. “Wendy, I’m not joking with you.”
“I’m not joking, either. Let go of me.”
Wendy pushed his hand away.
Just then, footsteps approached–Lucas and another student were walking toward them,
chatting.
“Lucas, I didn’t know Wendy was married before. Are you still planning to pursue her?”

“Wendy was married, but she’s already divorced. Of course I’m still going after her.”
“Haha, looks like you’re really serious about her!”
“She’s different. She’s nothing like the other girls I’ve met.”
The two walked off into the distance.
Wendy had overheard their conversation. She could tell that Lucas had feelings for her.
When they were eating fondue earlier, she had intentionally mentioned her past marriage
in hopes to make him give up.
