Chapter 49
+20 Bonus
Wendy noticed Stanley with Jessica. Jessica, who had already been discharged from the hospital, stood beside him, looking radiant as she looped her arm through his. The two of them, like a perfect match, looked completely at ease with each other.
Cecelia snorted in disdain. “Stanley really does love Jessica, huh? Even after all that drama with Mrs. Glinda, he acts like nothing happened and just gets right back together with her.”
Wendy hadn’t expected to run into Stanley and Jessica at the bar, but seeing how quickly they’d made up didn’t surprise her.
There was no trace of shock on her face. She simply curved her lips into a faint smile and said to Cecelia, “So, you just now
realized Stanley loves Jessica?”
In the past, this might have disappointed her, but now, she was numb to it.
Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor caught her attention.
“Mr. Hawk, Jessica! What a coincidence,” came voice.
Trish’s
Wendy looked up, surprised to see that Trish had also arrived.
Trish was dressed in a black spaghetti strap dress that showcased her curves, her curly hair and red lips giving her a striking, sultry appearance. Her gaze landed on Stanley, her eyes gleaming with interest.
Wendy raised an eyebrow. It looked like things were really heating up tonight.,
Jessica, still unaware of Trish’s interest in Stanley, kept her arm wrapped around his, flashing a sweet smile as she greeted Trish.
“What a coincidence, Trish.”
Benny, who had been waiting for this moment, excitedly spoke up. “Since everyone’s here, let’s sit down and play a game! Nathan, Wendy, do you guys want to join?”
Nathan turned to Wendy and said, “Wendy, let’s play together.”
Wendy was about to decline, but Cecelia quickly jumped in. “Sure, we’ll play.”
Trish sneered, her voice laced with disdain, “How could I end up with a relative like her? She’s really not fit for the spotlight.”
