Chapter 245
It was her!
It was Wendy!
Yet, he had mistaken her for someone else.
As Stanley recalled the way he had treated Wendy–his coldness, his humiliating words–he could have slapped
himself.
That day in the nurse’s office, he had pinned her down on the bed, and she had tearfully told him how much she hated him. She was so innocent, so vulnerable.
He cursed at himself over and over.
His muscles tensed as the anger built inside him. He scowled, his handsome face twisted in frustration–but soon, a small smile curved on his lips.
Cecelia had a good night’s sleep after she got back to the apartment. The next day, Wendy and Halsey took her out shopping.
The three of them walked through the mall, entering a boutique that sold accessories. Wendy’s eyes lit up when she saw a collection of cute hairpins.
The pins were in candy–colored shades, with designs of pink strawberries, green watermelons, and yellow lemons …all very playful and vibrant.
“Wendy, these hairpins are perfect for you! Why don’t you get the yellow one?” Halsey suggested.
“I think the pink one is nice too,” Cecelia chimed in with a thoughtful look.
Cecelia and Halsey both gave their input, but before Wendy could make a decision, a familiar voice interrupted her
“Wendy, what a coincidence! You’re out shopping too?”
Wendy looked up, and there stood Luna.
Luna was out with her assistant, who was holding a few designer shopping bags. She took off her sunglasses and approached Wendy with a smirk. “Wendy, I actually have some good news I want to share with you.“/
Cecelia raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Did you win an Oscar or something?”
Luna’s expression faltered for a moment.
“You little…” she snapped, but quickly recovered, pressing her hand to her chest as if feeling faint. She bent over and started to fake a gagging sound. >
Halsey frowned. “Luna, what are you up to now?”
Luna stopped, her face pale. She looked at Wendy, her tone almost pitiful. “Wendy, I’ve been feeling really off lately–1
y–I’m always tired and nauseous, You studied medicine, right? Can you check my pulse and see what’s wrong?”
Cecelia opened her mouth to speak, but Wendy held up her hand. “Okay, I’ll check.”
Wendy reached out, gently placing her fingers on Luna’s wrist.

After a few moments, her delicate fingers stilled.
She looked up at Luna.
Luna’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. “Wendy, what’s wrong with me?”
Wendy pulled her hand back and, with an icy calmness, said “You’re pregnant.”
What?
Halsey and Cecelia both jumped in shock, unable to stay composed. “You’re pregnant? Who’s the father?”
Luna smiled at Wendy, a sly glint in her eyes. “Wendy, when I was with Mr. Hawk, he didn’t use protection. I’m carrying his child.”
Luna was pregnant–with Stanley’s child.
Wendy had already suspected Luna might be pregnant when she had seen Luna bending over to vomit, but hearing it confirmed aloud still made her fingers tighten into a fist.
Halsey and Cecelia exchanged a stunned glance, unable to believe what they were hearing.
Just then, a deep, magnetic voice cut through the tension.
“What are you all doing here?”
Wendy looked up and saw Stanley, standing tall and imposing in the doorway.
Stanley was here!
Luna’s face lit up with excitement, and she quickly rushed to his side. “Mr. Hawk, I have some great news to tell you.”
Stanley gave her a brief glance. “What’s the news?”
“I’m pregnant!” Luna announced, her smile wide with triumph.
She told Stanley about her pregnancy.
Stanley’s lips curled into a thin, almost amused smile. “Is the child mine?”
“Yes,” Luna confirmed eagerly. “It happened that night. You’re going to be a father.”
Stanley’s handsome face remained impassive, without a flicker of emotion. “What do you want?”
