Chapter 132
Glinda quickly understood. “Alright, alright. Now I can relax,”
Wendy was over the moon. She hooked her arm through Glinda’s and said, “Grandma, you’re rarely out, so let me take you out and have some fun.”
Glinda’s face lit up with a smile. “That sounds wonderful! love going out and having fun.”
Wendy and Halsey took Glinda out to the main street, where they passed a milkshake shop.
Halsey grinned. “Wendy, let’s grab a milkshake. They’ve got a new Taro flavor, and it’s delicious!”
Wendy nodded eagerly. “Sure.”
Glinda looked curiously at them. “You two are getting milkshakes?”
Wendy knew that in some families, elders typically didn’t allow younger people to drink things like milkshakes. She quickly explained, “Grandma, actually, having a milkshake every once in a while isn’t bad for your health…”
“Could you get me one too? I’d like to try it,” Glinda suddenly said.
Wendy froze in surprise. Glinda leaned over the milkshake counter, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “I’ll have the strawberry milkshake with sprinkles. That looks so good!”
Wendy and Halsey exchanged amused glances and laughed.
There was something refreshing about having a fashionable, fun–loving elder in the family.
Wendy waved her hand. “Miss, one strawberry milkshake with sprinkles for my grandma, please!”
At a five–star restaurant, the manager approached to greet Stanley and Jessica. “Mr. Hawk, Ms. Crone, please
follow me.”
Stanley had brought Jessica here for a candlelit dinner.
Stanley was dressed in a sharp black suit, tall and dignified, while Jessica wore a beautiful, soft–looking silk dress, looking every bit the picture of elegance. They made a perfect couple.
The restaurant was filled with the sound of a piano, creating a refined, romantic atmosphere.
They were seated by the window, and the restaurant manager helped Jessica pull out her chair. She smiled warmly and said, “Stanley, I heard that Wendy got into a fight at school today.”
When Stanley heard that, his face darkened slightly, his patience wearing thin. “Let’s not talk about her tonight.”
He didn’t want to discuss Wendy.
Although Jessica hadn’t been able to use the fight as an excuse to get Wendy expelled from Clavendale University, she still felt satisfied with the way Stanley reacted.
“Alright, I won’t bring her up again.” Jessica lifted her wine glass. “To us, Stanley.”
Stanley didn’t want to think about Wendy, as the thought of her irritated him. He picked up his glass, ready to toast with Jessica.

Just as their glasses were about to touch, he paused.
Through the polished glass windows of the restaurant, he saw something on the street outside. There was a milkshake shop across the road, and an elderly woman was holding a cup of strawberry milkshake with sprinkles, sipping it with such delight that her cheeks puffed out, as though she’d discovered a hidden treasure.
Stanley’s eyes widened in disbelief. Wasn’t that his grandmother?
The woman disappeared from his line of sight, and Stanley quickly denied it.
No, it couldn’t have been her.
Glinda was at the Hawk family’s estate. She hadn’t been out of the house for years. The woman outside didn’t dress like her, and there was no luxury car picking her up either.
The most important detail was that Glinda had never, ever had milkshakes!
“Stanley? Stanley, what’s wrong?” Jessica called.
Stanley snapped back to reality. He figured his imagination had been playing tricks on him. He’d been so wrapped up in everything with Wendy that he was probably seeing things.
He clinked glasses with Jessica. “It’s nothing.”
Outside, Wendy had led Glinda away from the milkshake shop. The three of them soon stopped at a nearby location.
It was a foot massage parlor!
