Glinda s voice was gentle as she said Go ahead dear
Wendy nodded and left the room
Stanley walked to the bedside and Glinda scolded him sharply Why are you back Get out of here now
Stanley gave a small, genuine smile and apologized, “Grandma, I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
Glinda’s tone softened slightly, but she didn’t let him off easily. “I don’t need your apology. The person you really owe an apology to is Wendy!”
Freddy clearly upset chimed in That s right Mr Hawk You just ran off with that Jessica It was Mrs Wendy who stayed behind to care for Mrs Glinda when she fainted It s like you ve been adopted and Mrs Wendy s the real family
Stanley stood speechless
And then you pushed Wendy and she hit the table People always say the squeaky wheel gets the grease don t think just because Wendy didn t cry it didn t hurt Glinda added
Mr Hawk you really need to use your conscience You can t keep treating Mrs Wendy like this
Glinda and Freddy both kept on criticizing Stanley He just stood there silent
Stanley glanced in the direction Wendy had gone then said Grandma since you re okay now I ll head back to my room
Without waiting for a reply he turned and walked out
After Stanley left Glinda sighed Wendy s such a good girl How could Stanley be so captivated by Jessica
Mrs Glinda when you were unconscious earlier you were still calling Mr Hawk s name Mrs Wendy heard you and then she went to the hospital and brought him back Even though she didn t say anything I know Mrs Wendy went to the hospital to get him Mrs Wendy is so perceptive she didn t want there to be any distance between the two of you because of her Freddy replied
Glinda nodded touched She had always known how wonderful Wendy was
Wendy has always lacked love and Stanley Stanley knows how to love Wendy knows this too which is why she truly loves
him.”
Stanley had been born with everything gentlemanly well mannered and excellent at loving He d spoiled Jessica to the point where she was now impossible to handle and it was clear to anyone who paid attention
Wendy recognized that which was why she cared for Stanley so deeply
Yet that very reason was also why she kept getting hurt

“Mrs. Glinda, don’t worry,” Freddy said again. “I believe that one day, Mr. Hawk will love Mrs. Wendy. When that happens, he’ll
love her to death.”
Glinda chuckled softly I believe that too And I think that day will come soon
Back in his room, Stanley found Wendy already out of the shower, dressed in his white shirt and sitting at thevanity,applying her
skincare.
She didn’t look at him as heentered.
Stanley s at on the edge of the bed and called out Wendy
She didn’t respond.
He undid two buttons on his suit jacket and tried again Wendy
Still noanswer.
Shestood up from the vanity, clearly planning to ignore him and head to the bed to sleep. She was acting as thoughhewasn’t
even there.
But as Wendy tried to pass him Stanley s hand shot out and grabbed her delicate wrist With a gentle pull she was forced to s it on
his strong thigh.
It hurt.
The muscle in his leg was so firm so full of raw male power that when she landed it felt like her body might split in half
Wendy winced in pain and struggled.”Let go of me.”
Stanley held her firmly keeping her seated on his lap His deep voice was laced with a teasing smile Why are you ignoring me
