Inside a vast and elegant villa, Wendy lay quietly on her bed. Her long lashes rested softly against her cheeks, and her delicate face glowed faintly with a soft pink hue that made her look like a dollso beautiful it made you want to reach out and touch her
Golden curtains trailed down to the floor. The warm sunlight filtered through the windows, bathing the room in a gentle, golden light.
Just then, the door creaked open with a soft creak, and a tiny bundle of energy burst into the room. A little girl scrambled up onto the bed and pressed her chilbby cheeks against Wendy’s face, planting a loud kiss on her skin.
Her sweet, childish voice rang out, “Ding dong, ding dong! Bella’s wake–up kiss service is now online! Mommy, it’s time to get up!”
Bella Hawkesley was now three years old. Wendy had returned to orias three years ago and given birth to her daughter.
She was wearing a pink princess dress, looking like she had stepped straight out of a fairytale. Her features were delicate and adorable, and her big, sparkling eyes seemed to hold all the light in the world. She was a perfect blend of her parents‘ best traits. Wendy slowly opened her eyes. For the past three years, she had been living as a mother. And to her, the happiest part of every day was opening her eyes and seeing Bella first thing in the morning.
She reached out and pulled Bella into her arms. “I performed a surgery last night, and it went pretty late, so I overslept today.” Bella blinked her big eyes and nodded. “I know! That’s why I played by myself this morning, so you could sleep a little more. But Daddy Sam came. He’s here to see you…”
Wendy felt her heart swell with warmth. Bella truly was her little angel.
Samuel came? He didn’t usually visit unless there was something important.
Wendy sat up. “Okay, I’ll go see him.” She held Bella’s hand as they walked out of the room.
In the living room, Samuel stood waiting. “Did I wake you up?”
Wendy smiled faintly. “Is something wrong?”
Samuel looked at her seriously. “I went to the Capital a few days ago. Aren’t you curious about what’s been happening there these past three years?”
Wendy lowered her gaze to Bella. The little girl looked up at her with wide, curious eyes.
Wendy gently patted her daughter’s soft hair. “Bella, go play for a little while on your own, okay?”
“Okay!” Bella chirped and skipped off.
Wendy stepped closer to Samuel. “I don’t want to know.”
These past three years, Wendy had poured all her time into raising Bella and working. Her life had been full and peaceful.
Samuel tilted his head and gave her a knowing smile.
“Are you sure? Three years ago, Jessica went back to the Capital with Mr. Larson. Don’t you want to know what’s going on with her? And Stanley returned to the Capital, too. The Hawk and Larson families have a marriage agreement. Don’t you want to know what happened between Stanley and Jessica?”
Wendy looked at him calmly. “What are you trying to say?”
“I heard they’re getting married soon.”
The names of those from her past made her lashes tremble slightly

had thought she could stay calm, that time had settled all the old emotions. But in truth, something still stirred deep
inside her.
Stanley.
It had been three full years since she and Stanley had parted ways,
And now, he was marrying Jessica?
It wasn’t surprising. The Hawk and Larson families had a longstanding marriage arrangement. Jessica was the daughter of the richest man, so it was only natural that they ended up together.
Rather, what was surprising was the fact that they had waited this long to finally make it official.
“When are you planning to go to the Capital? Don’t tell me you’re not going,” Samuel asked.
Wendy arched one brow with a small smirk. “Why wouldn’t I? Of course I’ll go to the Capital.” Jessica was there, and there were still a lot of things Wendy needed to settle with her.
“So, when exactly are you going?”
