Chapter 216
Wendy s pale eyes instantly reddened She had always known that Stanley knew exactly how to humiliate a person
If he wanted to shame someone he would do it in the most cruel humiliating way possible
She hadn tasked Halsey to call him
Evenifshehad,sowhat?
He was the one who hadn t used any protection
I understand Wendy said her voice thick with emotion Don t worry Mr Hawk I won t call you again You can leave now
She forced herself to lift her gaze trying to stop the tears from spilling She didn t want to cry in front of him Stanley noticed the redness around her eyes and an unexpected sense of satisfaction surged through him It felt almost like revenge like a deep bitter kind of justice

Butshe nevercame.
He hated even more that she had called him when she passed out
She got allergic to morning after pills she took because of Nathan and she still called him What did she take him for

Before he could finish Wendy picked up the pillow and hurled it at him with all her strength Get out
Shewantedhimtoleave.
The pillow struck his handsome face before falling to the floor Stanley suddenly bent down pinning her back on to the bed

Wendy struggled to keep her tears in check but it was no use The tears fell relentlessly as if they had broken free from some invisible chain
Her vision blurred as the tears continued to pour
Shecried.
Stanley s chest tightened He had wanted to see her cry but now that it was happening he was flustered She always did this to him made him feel confused frustrated
Wendy sucked in a shuddering breath her voice trembling and broken Stanley I hate you I really really hate you
She repeated it over and over and she cried while doing so
Stanley knew she was good at getting men s attention but now even now she was pulling him in His throat

He had promised he would want her but he didn t

She really truly hated him
Why was he doing this to her
Stanley felt something inside him s often The sensation was confusing like a mix of pain and tenderness that he couldn t explain His heartache d and his thoughts were all over the place
He wanted to say something but then his gaze fell on her collar
With the way she was lying he could see the delicate curve of her collarbone which was marked with hickeys
Those marks led downward disappearing into her soft round bosom
Stanley could easily imagine how intense things must have been between her and Nathan

She didn t love him anymore
He let go of Wendy and s at down on the edge of the bed
Wendy turned over her back to him and lay on her side She wiped her face with her hand trying to push away the evidence of her tears I can leave anytime Just tell me when you re ready to get the divorce
