Wendy shot back with a biting remark.
Stanley started the car, and the luxury vehicle smoothly spoil down the road. Ils large, strong hands gripped the steering wheel as he turned slightly, a hint of a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
“How would I know if you wanted to steal them? There are plenty of women who want to have my children. I can’t trust you.
Wendy was speechless.
He really was arrogant!
But then again, Stanley had the kind of arrogance that could back Itself up.
Wendy ching from the cold, knew she couldn’t afford to catch a cold while pregnant, so she reluctantly put on
his black suit jacket,
The jacket was oversized, enveloping her petite frame. “You might have good genes, but mine aren’t bad either. Maybe others would want to steal your genes, but I absolutely wouldn’t.”
Stanley’s thoughts wavered for a moment. Of course, her genes were no less impressive. She was the talented genius of Harfield, the one who had become the renowned Dr. Ceylan–her genetic potential was just as extraordinary as his, if not more.
He briefly wondered what it would be like if they had a child together.
But the thought quickly passed. He didn’t dwell on it.
“We’ll find out once we get to the hospital.”
It seemed he was determined to take her for the pregnancy test. Wendy realized she had no say in the matter, she stopped resisting and allowed him to take her to the hospital.
About half an hour later, the Rolls–Royce pulled up in front of NovaHealth Hospital. Wendy glanced at the building, surprised that Stanley had brought her here for the checkup.
“Let’s go inside,” he demanded.
“Mr. Hawk, why did you bring me to NovaHealth?”
Stanley raised an eyebrow, his gaze cool and composed. “I know the director here. I don’t trust other hospitals, especially since you’re Dr. Ceylan. I’m worried you might fake the reports.”
Stanley was a man who thought of everything. He had covered all the bases.
Alas, he had met his match in Wendy.
Wendy chuckled. “What, you’re not worried I’ll fake it here too?”
“NovaHealth is a huge, publicly listed company. It covers a wide range of industries, from healthcare to pharmaceuticals to medical equipment. You can’t control it because the big boss behind NovaHealth is just as wealthy as I am.”
Wendy smirked, a playful glint in her eyes. “Do you know the big boss behind NovaHealth?”
Stanley’s mind wandered back to the stunning figure he had seen in Hawthorne, Mericana. The image of her elegant, poised presence had stayed with him. It was unforgettable.

“I’ve met her once.”
He had met her once?
Wendy blinked, confused. “Where did you meet her?”
Stanley shrugged casually. “Hawthorne, Mericana. It was when Novallealth went public. She rang the opening bell at midnight. I saw her from behind, but she didn’t see me.”
Ah, so that was it. Wendy now understood why she didn’t remember. Stanley had been there that night when NovaHealth went public.
Fate always worked in strange ways.
Wendy took a step closer, her small face suddenly inches from his. “Are you in love with the boss behind NovaHealth?”
Stanley froze. “What?”
“Why else would you still be thinking about her all these years? One glimpse of her back, and she’s been stuck in your mind? Well, it makes sense. There aren’t many women in the business world who can stand side by side with
you.”
Stanley looked at Wendy in front of him. She was teasing him, joking around, but now her face was lively and bright, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Her playful energy seemed to mirror the grace of that unforgettable figure from NovaHealth. In that moment, the two images seemed to merge in his mind.
Stanley reached out, gently pinching her soft cheek. “Are you jealous?”
Wendy couldn’t understand why he was pinching her cheek
Slap!
Wendy immediately slapped his hand away. “Don’t pinch me.”
Stanley raised an eyebrow. “Don’t pinch you where?”
