The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159

The young men quickly began teasing, their voices rising in a playful chorus.

“What kind of friend is this? Boyfriend or girlfriend?”

“Nathan, are you secretly dating someone?”

“So, what’s going on? Planning to reveal your girlfriend today, huh? Which lucky lady managed to catch your eye?”

Nathan smirked and muttered, “Keep it down, or you’ll scare her off.”

Hearing that, the crowd went wild.

Stanley sat on the couch, his posture relaxed. Jessica sat beside him, smiling knowingly. “Stanley, do you think the person Nathan is waiting for is Wendy?”

Benny chimed in, “It has to be her. Nathan’s totally smitten with her!”

Sienna shot them a jealous look. In their social circle, it was hard for regular people to break in. But here Nathan was, inviting Wendy, someone from outside their usual group, to his birthday. That alone spoke volumes about how much he cared for her.

Stanley, dressed in a sharp black shirt and trousers, remained calm, his expression as impassive as ever, as though he was a mere spectator to everything happening around him.

At that moment, the door to the luxurious suite opened, and a graceful figure stepped into the room. It was Wendy.

Nathan immediately got up, his face lighting up. “Wendy, you made it!”

Wendy handed him a gift bag with a soft smile. “Happy birthday, Nathan.”

Nathan took the gift from her and guided her to a seat on the couch. “Wendy, these are my friends.”

All eyes in the room shifted to Wendy, who now stood at the center of attention.

“Nathan, didn’t expect you to befriend such a pretty angel, one of the young men teased.

“So Nathan’s into these pure, angelic types, huh?”

“Hello, pretty lady,” another one greeted her, the group’s tone friendly but curious.

Wendy nodded politely, acknowledging them one by one. Soon enough, her eyes fell on Stanley and Jessica, sitting across from her. They were already here, and so were Benny and Sienna, all staring at her.

One of the men spoke up, introducing Wendy to the group. You’ve probably heard of Mr. Hawk and Jessica, right? They’re like the golden couple in our circle.”

Sienna, with a pointed tone, added, “Stanley and my Jessica have been together for years. Anyone trying to steal Stanley away from her is just setting themselves up for failure.”

Wendy knew Sienna was throwing shade at her, but she said nothing in response.

Last night, her competitive side had gotten the best of her, and she had tried to flirt with Stanley, testing his interest. Yet, he hadn’t even acknowledged her.

And now, today, here they were, attending Nathan’s birthday party together, looking like a loving couple.

She felt almost ridiculous for her actions the day before.

Jessica glanced at Wendy, then turned to Stanley with a smile. “Stanley, I’d like some wine.”

Stanley raised an eyebrow, his expression becoming stern. “No wine for you, only milk.”
