The game was over, and Wendy, Nathan, and Cecelia were getting ready to leave the bar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan turned to Wendy with a smile. \u201cWendy, thanks for helping me out earlier.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy shook her head. Nathan hadn\u2019t actually kissed her\u2013he had cupped her face, but in reality, he\u2019d only kissed his fingers. Still, to everyone else, it looked like a real kiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy smirked. \u201cI think I\u2019ve repaid you for that rub cream, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Nathan could respond, Trish\u2019s voice came from behind. \u201cNathan, wait!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy turned around to look at Trish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan looked at Trish. \u201cMs. Crone, is there something you need?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trish stepped forward, glaring at Wendy. \u201cNathan, don\u2019t be fooled by Wendy. I\u2019m here to expose her true nature!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s face remained cold. She had known Trish wouldn\u2019t be able to hold back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan looked at Trish. \u201cMs. Crone, what do you have to say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNathan, do you know who Mrs. Hawk is? It\u2019s Wendy!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan froze and turned his gaze to Wendy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNathan, over three years ago, Mr. Hawk became a vegetable after a car accident. Wendy, who had just returned from the countryside, took advantage of the situation and married him. She\u2019s the ugly duckling that Mr. Hawk hasn\u2019t even touched to this day! Nathan, don\u2019t tell me you\u2019re interested in a woman your good friend didn\u2019t want!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Stanley and Jessica walked over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s eyes immediately found Stanley, and she noticed the white bandages wrapped around his right hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What had happened to his hand? Was he hurt? But when she had seen him in the men\u2019s restroom earlier, his hand seemed fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica looked at Nathan. \u201cNathan, Trish is right. Wendy married Stanley, and she\u2019s Mrs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hawk. You really shouldn\u2019t claim someone\u2019s leftovers!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s handsome face was partially hidden in the dim light, but his eyes flickered up at Wendy, his gaze filled with a hint of sarcasm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy understood. He had said it before, back at the family estate\u2013Nathan wouldn\u2019t take over his leftovers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe just like Jessica and Trish, Stanley was watching her, waiting to see her humiliated when Nathan rejected her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan turned to Wendy, asking, \u201cWendy, is this true?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy nodded honestly. \u201cYes, it\u2019s true.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trish excitedly turned to Nathan. \u201cSee, Wendy admits it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica scoffed. \u201cWhat else could she say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan curved his lips into a slight smile. \u201cActually, I\u2019ve already guessed as much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica and Trish froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan turned to Stanley. \u201cStanley, I\u2019ve already figured out your relationship with Wendy. That puts my mind at ease.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Put his mind at ease? What did that mean?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica and Trish were confused. The night had been all about Wendy making a splash with Nathan, stealing the spotlight. Why did Wendy deserve Nathan\u2019s attention? They had to stop this!\u00a0<\/p>\n
To them, Wendy should have stayed in the countryside where she belonged. They were sure that once Nathan found out she had been Stanley\u2019s cast off, he would never want anything to do with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were just waiting for her downfall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But something felt off. Things weren\u2019t playing out the way they had expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStanley, I know you love Jessica, but since you\u2019re not interested in Wendy, can I officially start pursuing her from now on?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan reached for Wendy\u2019s hand, gently holding her soft, delicate fingers in his palm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStanley, I have feelings for Wendy. I want to be with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
