She has a high fever Stanley replied Could you arrange a room for us
Seeing Stanley s distinguished handsome face Fiona couldn t resist As the daughter of the village chief she immediately used her position to arrange a clean little room for
Stanley.
Stanley laid Wendy down on the bed She was ice cold to the touch her forehead damp with cold sweat Her soft baby fine bangs clung to her pale delicate face making her look
heartbreaking ly fragile
Stanleyreached outandgentlypushed herbangsaside.
Stan Fiona s voice broke the silence
Stanley remembered that there was still someone else in the room He straightened up Do you have a brother
Fiona nodded Yes his name is Alec He s of marriageable age and the girls in this village are all fair game for him But he has high standards and hasn t found anyone he likes yet
Stanley slips curled into a cold slight smile Alec sure had high standards setting his sights on Wendy She was one in a million after all
Fiona with her heart racing gazed at Stanley She continued I m of marriageable age too but I don t like any of the men here My dad keeps pressuring me to get married What

Fiona was dropping clear hints at Stanley
Interestingly it seemed that both Alec and Fiona had set their sights on Stanley and

Really Fiona s eyes brightened She thought Stanley had picked upon her hints and
would goaskherfatherforherhandthenextday.
Stanley understood everything Fiona s glaring hints were nothing new to him but he chose not to confront them Instead he said My sister and I need to rest now You can
leave.”
“Alright.”
Fiona left the room happily even closing the door behind her
But soon Fiona had a thought Wait There was only one bedin the room How were the two of them supposed to sleep Would they share the bed
Once Fiona was gone only the two of them were left in the room Wendy shivered her teeth chattering I m so cold
Stanley raised his hand and unbuttoned his coat with his defined fingers He removed his black jacket then climbed into the bed
Wendy sensitive to the warmth shifted in her sleep and instinctively curled up against
Stanley.
Stanley reached out and pulled her into his arms

Their bodies were pressed close together her soft fragile form fitting into his embrace

Stanley froze for a moment
It had been so long since he had held her like this

Since their divorce they had been like strangers to each other In truth on the rare nights when he couldn t sleep he would occasionally think of her
Wendy felt the warmth wasn t enough Her little hands began to move restlessly The top two buttons of his white shirt had been undone and she slipped her hand inside his collar
His chest was strong and firm his muscles well defined and lower down his sculpted abs
felt like a furnace warm and solid
