Chapter 136
Stanley couldn’t remember the last time he kissed Wendy.
All he knew now was that the sensation from the kiss was making his whole body tingle, as if he were being jolted by electricity. At that moment, she boldly penetrated his defenses, soft and teasing, like a kitten’s paw swiping around a little before finally pulling him in with a gentle but irresistible tug.
Stanley felt a surge of heat race from his spine to his brain. it was as if she had stolen his very soul.
He breathed heavily, his weight pressing down on her, his body hovering over hers.
When he realized his body seemed to remember her touch, he wanted to curse.
He hadn’t been with Jessica. Physically, at his age, he needed some passion, but he had always been emotionally . distant and never thought much of it.
But since he met Wendy, especially that stormy night when they had a taste of each other, it had opened a door he didn’t know was there. Now, every time he touched her, that same craving came rushing back, awakening a hunger in him he couldn’t ignore.
It was a terrible feeling.
Stanley reluctantly pulled his hand away from her delicate neck, allowing Wendy to take a deep breath of fresh air.
His weight was crushing her. Wendy pushed against his broad chest, trying to get him off her. “Stanley, let go of me!”
Stanley’s eyes, sharp and bloodshot at the corners, narrowed as he propped himself up against the window, gazing down at her. “Are you sure you didn’t drink a milkshake?”
He could still taste the sweetness on her lips.
Wendy immediately covered her mouth with her hand.
“Milkshakes are made with artificial sweeteners. They’re bad for you…”
“These days, most milkshakes are homemade; they’re not that bad. Having one won’t hurt Grandma.”
Her lips tasted sweet, and there was also a faint milky scent. He wasn’t sure if it was the milkshake or if she was just naturally sweet.
Wendy had a youthful energy to her that Jessica, with all her refinement, lacked.
Stanley didn’t speak. His gaze dropped to Wendy’s lips, still shiny and red from the kiss, then shifted to her eyes.
What was he doing?
She had kissed him in a moment of panic, not because she had meant it. She had simply wanted to escape, nothing
more.
Did he want to kiss her again?
The way he was looking at her now–it was so intense, so captivating.
It made him look exceptionally charming.
Wendy suddenly crouched down, sliding from under his arm. She stepped back two paces, putting distance , between them.

As soon as she moved away, the charged atmosphere that had surrounded them broke, the heat dissipating into the air.
Stanley stood up straight, trying to regain his composure.
Wendy, keeping her distance, finally said, “Mr. Hawk, I’ve learned my lesson. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to school.”
“I haven’t told you that you can leave yet.”
Just then, a soft knock came at the door, followed by Zayn entering, carrying a stack of papers. “Mr. Hawk, here are the five sets of exam papers you requested.”
Exams papers?
Stanley tossed the papers into Wendy’s lap. “From now on, you’re going to study hard. You’re going to finish these papers tonight.”
Wendy stared at the heavy stack in disbelief. Was he serious? Was he really asking her to complete these exam papers?
Did he know who she was?
She was determined to make him a laughingstock tomorrow.
But tonight, she had no choice. She had no way to fight back
Wendy sat down and began working on the papers.
Stanley didn’t look at her again. He sat down in his black leather chair, focusing on the documents he had to review.
An hour passed without either of them noticing. The darkness of the night had fully descended. Stanley glanced up, only to see that Wendy had fallen asleep, her head resting on the table.
She had fallen asleep again?
Stanley walked over. When he saw the papers she had worked on, he froze in place…
