Chapter 19
Jessica and Lilian s expressions instantly changed
Wendy turned to Jessica feigning surprise Oh no Don t tell me Mr Hawk didn t mention he kissed me last night
She pretended to recall thoughtfully Last night when Mr Hawk kissed me it was so clumsy and rushed completely lacking any
skill Honestly I started to doubt if he even knew how to kiss
Jessica looked at Stanley in shock Had he kissed Wendy
Stanley s handsome face turned ice cold in an instant It was unclear whether it was because Wendy had deliberately told Jessica
about their kiss, or because she publicly criticized his kissing skills. Either way, his sharp eyes darkenedandfixed on Wendy with
a chilling intensity
Wendy he called her name displeased
Wendy sneered. ‘Oh?’
Was he upset just because she said something about Jessica
Her clear piercing eyes landed on Stanley s face Why are you yelling With kissing skills that bad I don t even want to spend
another minute with you Let s get divorced
Everyone was speechless
Had Wendy completely lost her mind today
Stanley frowned deeply Fine Let s divorce right now
Wendy was now
ow seated in the back of Stanley s Rolls Royce Phantom while he drove up front They were heading to the
courthouse.
The luxurious silent car was steeped in tension Neither of them spoke
Stanley s large watch adorned hand rested on the steering wheel as he executed a series of smooth precise maneuvers accelerating changing lanes and making turns seamlessly
Who picked you up last night he suddenly asked
Last night…
Those words tugged at Wendy s nerves The man you sent wasn t my type so I went looking for someone else
I found a man who s great at kissing she added deliberately
Stanley s grip tightened on the steering wheel He glanced at her through the rear view mirror his gaze sharp with warning
+20Â Bonus
Wendy are you bringing up last night s kiss repeatedly because you can t stop thinking about it
Wendy was speechless
She met his gaze defiantly. “Looks like you’re the one who can’t stop thinking about it.”
Stanley remained silent
He regretted asking. He shouldn’t have brought it up.
The atmosphere in the carturnedoppressive, crackling with tension.
Just then a melodic ring tone broke the silence It was a call The screen showed it was from the Hawk family estate
Stanley pressed the button to answer
The butler s voice came through Hello Young Master Your grandmother hasn t been feeling well these past few days She s been asking for Mrs Hawk and insists on seeing her You should bring her home as soon as possible
Stanley frowned Grandma wants to see Wendy Just when I m on my way to divorce her
Gripping the wheel he changed direction and drove toward the family estate
Wendyimmediately spoke up. “Where are you taking me?”
Stanley’s face remained expressionless. “Grandma wants to see you. You’ll know what to do when we get there.”
Wendy found it ironic Act like we re a loving couple I can t do that anymore
Stanley sneered Haven t you always enjoyed putting on an act in front of Grandma
A pang of guilt shot through Wendy s heart Glinda Hawk s health had always been fragile Back when Wendy used to visit the estate Stanley was cold and distant toward her She had been the one trying to maintain the facade of affection
It had all been her one–woman show.
And now he was mocking her for it
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the Hawk familyestate. As Wendy walked across thelawn, she happened to run into
someone coming out of the estate Sienna Hawk
