The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156

Chapter 156

Over the years, Stanley had been surrounded by the temptation of women, and he had met some skilled ones. He knew what Wendy was doing–she was trying to tease him.

She wanted to see if she could hook him in, if he would take the bait.

A thin, knowing smile tugged at the corner of Stanley’s lips. That little temptress.

Just then, his phone rang, cutting through the tension. The screen flashed with the caller ID, “Jessica“.

The display of her name immediately cooled Stanley down. The heat that Wendy had stirred up in him slowly faded.

Stanley answered the call.

Jessica’s soft voice came through. “Stanley, are you still upset? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have argued with you or thrown things. Honestly, I was just jealous. I got jealous that you were so kind to Wendy. Please don’t be angry anymore. I love you. I really, really love you!”

Over the years, Jessica had been spoiled by him, but now, she was humbling herself, apologizing and coaxing him gently, telling him over and over how much she loved him.

Stanley felt his heart stir. After all, she was his girl.

Jessica was his girl.

Stanley softened his gaze and said, “I was wrong, too.”

Jessica’s mood lifted immediately. “Well, then let’s just forget about it. Nathan’s birthday is tomorrow. Everyone’s getting ready for his celebration. Let’s go together.”

Stanley replied, “Alright.”

They hung up the phone.

Just then, Benny emerged from the bathroom, his face still wet from splashing cold water. He couldn’t accept the fact that he had dropped from a champion rank to bronze. “Stanley, I’m bronze now! I hate Wendy!”

Stanley shot Benny a glance. “Give it a rest. Go out and date someone instead.”

“I want to date too,” Benny said.

“Who’s caught your eye this time?”

Benny’s mood suddenly lifted, and he leaned in, asking Stanley with a bit of excitement, “Stanley, do you think the genius freshman is pretty?”

Stanley raised an eyebrow. So, Benny was interested in her now?

Benny grinned, clearly excited. “Stanley, I’ll leave now. See you at Nathan’s birthday party tomorrow.”

Stanley didn’t pay much attention to Benny’s interest in the genius freshman. After all, people can love whomever they want. He didn’t mind.

Stanley glanced at the message from Wendy. [Do you want it?]

He didn’t reply.

He rejected Wendy’s temptation.
