Chapter 94
The noise from the room next door continued, growing louder and more reckless. How could he sleep through that?
Stanley raised his hand and sharply knocked twice against the wall with his knuckles, the sound echoing in the
room.
Immediately, the noise from next door quieted down.
Stanley closed his eyes.
But he wasn’t sleepy. The restless energy of his young, vibrant body was hard to ignore in this environment. Wendy was right there beside him, soft and sweet–smelling His mind wandered back to that night in the main bedroom at Saville Villa. He had pinned her against the wall, forcibly holding her hand…
Suddenly, the noise from next door started up again.
Stanley opened his eyes in irritation, sitting up. He threw off the covers and got out of bed.
Just as he stood, a small hand reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt.
He turned to see Wendy’s head poking out from under the covers. She had just been muffled, and her pale, unmade up face now had a faint flush. Her wide, sparkling eyes were so innocent, they made him want to kiss her.
Wendy clung to him, uneasy. “Where are you going?”
She could tell he was angry, and from his body language, it seemed like he was about to go fight the guy next door. His beating up George in the cave earlier was the first time she had seen him lose his temper like that. She didn’t expect a noble man like him to be so ruthless when he threw a punch, but she didn’t like it when he fought.
It seemed like his mood had been off all day. Did he feel like she was wasting his time?
She thought back to why he had come to her rescue earlier. It must have been because she was still technically his wife. He wouldn’t just ignore her. After all, he was a good person.
Stanley’s gaze softened when he saw her innocence, and a burning ache filled his chest. He quickly yanked his sleeve away and said, “Go back to sleep.”
He walked out before she could say anything else.
Stanley knocked firmly on the door of the room next door. A young man’s voice called out, “Who’s there? I’m coming.”
The door swung open, revealing the man who had been making all the noise.
Stanley’s face was dark, his tone cold. “I’m in the room next door. Do you have any idea what time it is? Even if you’re not planning on sleeping, do you expect the rest of us to be awake too?”
The young man immediately pulled Stanley aside, pulling out a cigarette and offering it to hi just got married, and we got carried away.”
Not appreciating his overly friendly tone, Stanley didn’t take the cigarette.
Sorry, man. We
The young man, curious, asked, “So, you staying alone?”
Just then, a delicate voice rang out from behind him. “Stanley.”
