The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

Stanley’s voice was low and tense. “The herbal recipe you left for Grandma has gone missing.”

So that was what this was about.

Wendy immediately grabbed a pen. “Just wait a second. I’ll write it down for you.”

She bent her head and began to scribble the recipe on a piece of paper.

As she did, her white camisole shifted slightly, revealing the soft curve of her figure, the fullness of her chest.

Stanley’s throat tightened. He already knew she was beautiful in more ways than one, but this–her slender waist, the way her curves gently flared out–was enough to stir the deepest parts of a man. It was all part of her allure.

It was natural.

“Wendy!” Stanley’s voice was thick with barely contained tension.

Wendy looked up, confused. “What’s wrong?”

She seemed so innocent, with those bright, clear eyes, so pure and unaware.

The way she looked at him, oblivious to the effect she had on him, only stoked the fire within.

Stanley swallowed hard and spoke again, his voice strained, “When you’re done, take a picture and send it to me.” Wendy nodded, absent–mindedly thinking he, as a busy man, probably didn’t have time to wait for her to finish writing.

“Okay, then, I’ll hang up now. Go on back to work.”

Seeing there was no reply from Stanley, she was about to end the video call when suddenly, Halsey burst into the room, holding an ice cream cone in each hand.

“Wendy, here, I got you a vanilla ice cream!” Halsey grinned, handing one of the cones to Wendy as she enjoyed hers.

The ice cream had started to melt a little, and Wendy quickly reached out to take it.

“It’s starting to melt! Wendy, hurry and lick it. I got it from the convenience store. It’s so sweet!” Halsey urged.

Wendy eagerly licked the melting ice cream. The rich vanilla flavor spread across her tongue, and she smiled, eyes sparkling. “Mmm, it’s so sweet.”

The girls laughed together, two sweet tooths enjoying the moment.

Halsey noticed Stanley on the video call and waved cheerfully. “Hello, Mr. Hawk!”

Stanley glanced at Halsey, then turned his gaze back to Wendy, who was happily licking her ice cream. She was sticking out her tongue just a little, savoring the sweetness like a child.

Stanley couldn’t help but think that it seemed like she could be so easily won over with something as simple as ice

cream.

She was so easy to please.

His throat tightened, the sensation burning hot as if a flame was smoldering inside him. “Is the ice cream really that good?”

Wendy looked up at him, Her smile still bright. “Yeah, it’s really sweet.”

It was clear she had a thing for sweet treats.

Candy, milkshakes, ice cream–she loved them all.
