The dormitory was eerily quiet, and Jessica’s agitated voice but through the silence, sharp and clear enough for Wendy to hear every word.
Wendy poured herself a glass of water and took a sip. For some reason, the water felt bitter in her meth
Stanley didn’t say a word, but his handsome brows had already furrowed.
“Stanley, I miss you so much. I need to see you right now come over now!” Jessica’s voice rang out from the phone.
Stanley gripped his phone tightly and with long, fneasured steps, walked out of the room.
Wendy turned her head to watch his retreating figure. He was going to be with Jessica, wasn’t he? a
She had almost forgotten–Luna was just a brief distraction, Jessica was the one he truly loved.
One phone call, a few words, and he was gone.
That night between them had meant nothing in the grand scheme of things.
A bitter smile curled on Wendy’s lips.
Stanley had reached the hallway when he frowned. “Jessica, I can’t come right now.”
Jessica exploded. “Why?! Are you staying with Wendy? Stanley, listen to me: You have to choose between me and her. If you don’t come tonight, you’ll regret it!”
With a loud click, she hung up.
Stanley pressed his lips into a cold, thin line.
He stood still for a moment, holding his phone, and looked back at Wendy’s dorm. In the past, he would have rushed to find Jessica without a second thought. But now, he hesitated.
At that moment, his phone chimed with a “ding“, and a new notification appeared. It was a friend request from Cecelia.
Cecelia had added him on social media.
Stanley clicked accept.
Immediately, Cecelia sent him a screenshot of her chat with Wendy.
Wendy wrote, [Cecelia, a friend of mine was a virgin, and after she slept with her husband for the first time, the husband hasn’t contacted her or paid any attention to her. What does that mean?}
This was the message Wendy had sent to her best friend after being distanced by Stanley.
At the time, Cecelia hadn’t fully understood. [That means your friend didn’t satisfy her husband in bed. He got tired of her after just one time.]
Now, Cecelia understood, so she sent the screenshot to Stanley.
Cecelia had typed out several things in the message, but in the end, she only sent one sentence. [Wendy has suffered so much for loving you.]
Wendy had suffered so much for loving him.

Chapter 256
Stanley’s heart, once hard as stone, began to soften before melted completely.
During the time he had been mistaken about Luna, he couldn’t imagine the inner turmoil Wendy had experienced. Yet, she hadn’t said a word when he asked her to.
Unlike Jessica, who would call him and yell at him if she felt wronged, Wendy kept everything inside.
He remembered the look in her eyes earlier, wet with unshed tears–cold yet fragile, standing alone.
Loving him had caused her so much suffering.
Back in the dorm, Wendy stood alone for a long time. Her two delicate braids fell gently beside her face, and under the soft lighting, she appeared quiet, isolated.
Ding!
Her phone on the bed rang, breaking her thoughts.
Wendy turned, still holding the water cup.
But the next moment, she crashed straight into a solid wall of muscle. Stanley had returned, standing right behind
her.
When Wendy saw him again, her mind went blank. “Why did you come back?” she asked, stunned.
Why did he come back?
Hadn’t he gone to be with Jessica?
