Chapter 290
Wendy studied Stanley with her clear, sharp eyes as she flashed a teasing smile.
“You’re constantly surrounded by powerful men. If you find someone suitable, maybe you could introduce me.”
Stanley glanced at her briefly before looking away, his expression unreadable. He casually tugged off his tie, his voice low and indifferent. “If I meet someone suitable, I’ll introduce you.”
“Thanks, Mr. Hawk.”
Just then, the bathroom door opened. Halsey quickly came out, her hair still damp. “Wendy, hurry up and go shower.”
Wendy didn’t hesitate. She walked into the bathroom without a word.
The last to shower was Stanley. By the time he entered, both girls had already settled into bed,
Halsey, who had cried earlier, was now calm. She had told Wendy everything about Gilbert and Sienna.
After hearing the full story, Wendy furrowed her brow. “Sounds like Sienna intentionally stole your fiancé. She’s easy to deal with, but the real problem is Gilbert. Do you still have feelings for him?”
Halsey shook her head. “Not anymore. I used to think he was a nice person, but it turns out it was all just his manipulation and lies!”
-Wendy sighed in relief. Luckily, Halsey didn’t love Gilbert anymore. Sienna wasn’t the real issue–Gilbert was. Wendy was worried Halsey would get stuck in the past.
If you don’t let others bully you, no one can.
That was the Halsey Wendy knew–lively, bright, and strong.
Wendy took Halsey’s hand in hers. “Halsey, do you remember what you said to me when I was getting divorced?”
Halsey grinned. “To hell with Stanley!”
Wendy laughed. “To hell with Gilbert!”
When Stanley emerged from the bathroom, he saw both girls lying together on the bed, whispering to each other.
Halsey murmured, “To hell with Gilbert!”
Wendy chimed in, “To hell with Stanley!”
Stanley, standing in the doorway, froze. His face darkened in an instant. So, this was what they said about him when he wasn’t around?
Just then, Halsey noticed Stanley standing there. She sat up quickly. “Mr. Hawk, there’s only one big bed here. How are the three of us going to sleep?”
It was finally time to figure out where everyone was going to sleep.
Stanley didn’t answer right away. He climbed into the bed and lay down next to Wendy.
Wendy sat up immediately. “Mr. Hawk, why are you sleeping here?”
Stanley gave her a calm glance. “I’m your brother, right? Is it wrong for me to sleep next to nt sister?”
Wendy, exasperated, muttered curses under her breath.

What a freak!
But with only one bed, Stanley could either sleep next to her, next to Halsey, or in between the two of them.
Wendy still didn’t know the relationship between Stanley and Halsey, so she didn’t want Stanley to sleep next to Halsey–it wouldn’t be the best thing for Halsey’s reputation. She shot Stanley a glare and reluctantly accepted the situation.
Stanley lay on the outer side of the bed. Wendy gave him a blanket, then settled herself in the middle. She scooted closer to Halsey and curled up in the blankets next to her, keeping a decent distance from him.
Stanley lay flat on his back, his blanket, which Wendy had just used, carrying a pleasant, lingering fragrance.
It had been a while since his divorce from Wendy. He had spent most of his time with Jessica since then, and his memories of Wendy had faded.
Yet, the soothing fragrance in the blanket instantly brought those memories rushing back.
Stanley propped his arm behind his head, wide awake despite the exhaustion.
