What?
Wendy gasped, her eyes widening. “You did it? What did you do?”
Halsey held up two fingers, lightly tapping them together. We kisded,”
Wendy sighed in relief–she thought Halsey and Dwight might have already taken things further.
She gave Halsey a curious look. “Do you really have feelings for Dwight?”
Halsey’s mind flashed with an image of Dwight’s cold, handsome face. Her heart began to race, her feelings stirring in a way she couldn’t control. So, this was what falling in love felt like.
She shyly nodded. “Yes.”
Wendy looked like she waited to say something, but in the end, she kept quiet. Love was between two people, and everyone else was just a third party.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Lincoln family’s house. Wendy and Halsey walked inside.
Wendy still didn’t know Halsey’s true identity, and Halsey had planned to find a moment to explain things to her. She had made sure to give everyone a heads–up today–no one was allowed to reveal her identity.
“Ms…. Ms. Crone, you’re here!” Isabel greeted them enthusiastically.
Wendy and Halsey smiled. Just then, Cyril came down the stairs. “Hello, Wendy.”
Wendy’s clear, sharp eyes met Cyril’s, and she nodded. “Yes, I heard you wanted to talk?”
Cyril smiled. “Let’s talk in the study.”
Wendy nodded. “Alright.”
A deep, magnetic voice interrupted them. “Wait.”
Wendy turned, seeing Stanley standing by the door.
Stanley was here too..
Halsey blinked, tilting her head. “Mr. Hawk, what brings you here? Are you looking for Wendy?”
Stanley looked at Wendy. He had texted her, but since she hadn’t replied, he decided to come to her.
“Wendy, I need to talk to you.”
Cyril raised an eyebrow at Stanley. “Get in line. I’m the one who invited her. Wendy, let’s go upstairs and talk.”
Wendy followed Cyril upstairs.
Stanley waited in the living room when Halsey walked up to him. “What do you need to talk to Wendy about?” Stanley pressed His lips together. “Do you know that she’s been seeing Samuel?”
Halsey smiled teasingly. “Isn’t it normal for her to be dating? You’re about to marry Jessica. What, do you expect Wendy to remain single forever for you?”
Stanley was silent.

Chapter 287
Upstairs, in the study.
Wendy entered first, while Cyril took a phone call.
It was Wendy’s first time in Cyril’s study. She looked around and then sat down. Cyril quickly returned after his phone call. He had a lot of questions for Wendy.
He wanted to ask how Wendy had gotten rid of that birthmark on Halsey’s face.
He wanted to know why Wendy always slept through his classes, only to wake up and point out his mistakes.
He felt like Wendy was hiding something.
When Cyril entered the study, he froze, staring in shock. Wendy was sitting in his office chair, holding one of his academic notes and reading through it.
When she heard him, Weridy looked up at him. “So, Cyril, what did you want to talk to me about?”
Hearing her call him by his first name, Cyril almost collapsed, his legs nearly giving out.
He had already guessed the truth.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he stammered, “Y–You’re Dr. Ceylan?”
Wendy flashed a small, confident smile, her voice soft and clear. “Yup.”
Without another word, Cyril dropped to his knees.
“Mr. Lincoln.” The butler quickly rushed over to help Cyril up. “Mr. Lincoln, what’s wrong?” Cyril shook his head. “I–I’m fine.”
