Chapter 134
Glinda took another sip of her milkshake, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
“It’s amazing.”
She then glanced at the handsome young therapist in front of her. “How old are you?”
The therapist smiled. “I’m 18.”
Glinda raised an eyebrow. “No wonder men, even when they’re 80, still like 18–year–olds. Turns out, even at 80, I like them too.”
Laughter echoed through the room.
Wendy and Halsey chuckled, and the atmosphere was filled with the sound of three women enjoying themselves.
Zayn, who had intended to go in and warn Wendy, paused. Hearing their conversation, he quickly turned and exited the room. Well, everyone had their way of living life—he supposed Wendy would have to deal with it on her
own.
Stanley stood in the doorway, his forehead tight with veins pulsing in irritation. An hour ago, he never would have imagined finding his grandmother holding a milkshake and getting a foot massage!
A dark storm of anger surged through him, his eyes narrowing as his gaze locked onto the cause of his frustration -Wendy!
What was she doing? Had she lost her mind?
He had thought that their story had come to an end and they would start living their separate lives, but things seemed to be spiraling out of control as Wendy kept intruding on his life, turning everything upside down.
Meanwhile, Wendy was completely unaware of the tension. She lay back comfortably on the sofa as the handsome male therapist worked his magic on her soft, pale feet. Perhaps the massage was just too soothing, as her adorable toes wiggled playfully, like a little kitten enjoying herself.
Stanley could hardly believe his eyes. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, and he found himself laughing in disbelief. He’d once grabbed her delicate little feet in the girls‘ dormitory, and she had yanked them back in shock, hiding them under her skirt.
She was such a hypocrite.
Just then, Halsey spotted Stanley standing in the doorway, and her eyes widened in panic. She immediately sat up, stammering, “M–Mr. Hawk?!”
Glinda, too, froze, her milkshake cup stiff in her hand. “Stanley?”
Wendy, who had been lying comfortably with a sleep mask on, suddenly froze. “Stanley? He would never come to such a place. He’s at a five–star restaurant having a candlelit dinner with Jessica.”
Before she could say another word, a large, commanding hand reached out and yanked off her sleep mask. Stanley’s cold, handsome face loomed in front of her.
Stanley…?
Wendy gasped in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Stanley’s voice was as cold as ice as he seethed, “Put on your shoes and get out, now!”
Wendy scrambled off the couch, tumbling to her feet. Moments later, she, Glinda, and Halsey were standing in the

hallway, lined up in front of Stanley like children awaiting scolding.
The three of them exchanged nervous glances, heads hung low like they were about to be punished.
Stanley’s piercing gaze swept over all of them, his voice a low growl.
Whose idea was this?”
Glinda and Halsey both silently pointed at Wendy, who was standing in the middle.
Wendy sighed inwardly, thinking she was done for. At the worst possible moment, not one of them could be counted on.
Halsey quickly muttered, “Mr. Hawk, I just remembered I have homework to do. I should head back to school.”
With that, Halsey turned and left.
Glinda smiled awkwardly. “Stanley, it’s getting late. I need to go home. Zayn, would you mind giving me a ride?”
And with that, Glinda was gone too.
Suddenly, the hallway was left with only Stanley and Wendy.
Wendy raised her clear, bright eyes to look at the storm brewing in Stanley’s gaze. “Mr. Hawk, I guess I’ll head out as well.”
But before she could take a step, his strong hand shot out and grabbed her delicate wrist, pulling her back. His voice was low and menacing as he growled, “Did I say you could leave?”
