Chapter 408
Stanley looked at Jessica. “You already know about the hean match?”
Jessica didn’t hesitate to admit it. “Yeah! Wendy’s heart is a perfect match for mine. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Stanley countered, “If I told you, then what?”
Jessica answered as if it were obvious. “Then you should figure out a way for Wendy to save me
Stanley fell silent.
Jessica’s voice grew more urgent. “Don’t you want to save me? Are you really going to hesitate between me and Wendy? Are you in love with her? Is that why you’re hesitating?”
Stanley looked at Jessica, his expression firm. “You can’t take Wendy’s heart.”
Jessica’s face turned pale.
He actually said that she couldn’t take Wendy’s heart.
“So, what do I do now? Are you going to give up on me? Have you forgotten your promise to me? First, you’ve been hot and cold with me, and now you won’t even try to save my life?”
Stanley’s voice was low, almost resigned. “I’ve already sent people out to search for alternatives. You can’t take her heart, but I’ll find another way.”

Stanley turned and walked out. He left her there.
“Stanley, come back!”
Jessica was furious. Stanley had refused her. It all boiled down to one thing–Stanley just couldn’t bear to give up on Wendy!
If it were before, Stanley would’ve agreed.
But at some point, something had changed with Stanley. He had changed when it came to Wendy, and it was a change that even Jessica feared.
Samuel called, asking Wendy to dinner, but she politely declined. She had already made plans with Cecelia and Halsey for a girls‘ night out.
The three of them arrived at a restaurant and chose a table by the window.
Halsey grabbed the menu. “What do you guys want to eat?”
Cecelia shrugged. “Anything goes. I’m not picky.”
Wendy thought for a moment. “I’m craving something spicy.”
“Spicy? Wendy, when did you start liking spicy food?” Cecelia asked, clearly surprised. She knew Wendy’s eating habits well–Wendy rarely ever liked anything spicy.
Wendy shrugged, a little embarrassed. She knew it was her pregnancy that had changed her cravings. “I don’t know. I just really want something spicy tonight.”
Cecelia eyed her suspiciously. “Why did your taste change that quickly? Are you…pregnant? They say you crave different food when you’re pregnant.”

Cecelia was joking, but Wendy didn’t deny it.
“Wait a minute!” Cecelia gasped, her voice rising. “Wendy, are you really pregnant?”

Wendy met her eyes, and for the first time, she didn’t feel the need to hide. In fact, she needed someone to help her think this through.
Wendy nodded, her expression calm. “Yes, I’m pregnant.
