It was her !
It was Wendy !
Yet , he had mistaken her for someone else .
As Stanley recalled the way he had treated Wendy – his coldness , his humiliating words – he could have slapped
himself .
That day in the nurse’s office , he had pinned her down on the bed , and she had tearfully told him how much she hated him . She was so innocent , so vulnerable .
He cursed at himself over and over .
His muscles tensed as the anger built inside him . He scowled , his handsome face twisted in frustration – but soon , a small smile curved on his lips .
Cecelia had a good night’s sleep after she got back to the apartment . The next day , Wendy and Halsey took her out shopping .
The three of them walked through the mall , entering a boutique that sold accessories . Wendy’s eyes lit up when she saw a collection of cute hairpins .
The pins were in candy – colored shades , with designs of pink strawberries , green watermelons , and yellow lemons … all very playful and vibrant .
“ Wendy , these hairpins are perfect for you ! Why don’t you get the yellow one ? ” Halsey suggested .
“ I think the pink one is nice too , ” Cecelia chimed in with a thoughtful look .
Cecelia and Halsey both gave their input , but before Wendy could make a decision , a familiar voice interrupted her
“ Wendy , what a coincidence ! You’re out shopping too ? ”
Wendy looked up , and there stood Luna .
Luna was out with her assistant , who was holding a few designer shopping bags . She took off her sunglasses and approached Wendy with a smirk . “ Wendy , I actually have some good news I want to share with you . “ /
Cecelia raised an eyebrow . “ Oh ? Did you win an Oscar or something ? ”
Luna’s expression faltered for a moment .
“ You little … ” she snapped , but quickly recovered , pressing her hand to her chest as if feeling faint . She bent over and started to fake a gagging sound . >
Halsey frowned . “ Luna , what are you up to now ? ”
Luna stopped , her face pale . She looked at Wendy , her tone almost pitiful . “ Wendy , I’ve been feeling really off lately – 1
y – I’m always tired and nauseous , You studied medicine , right ? Can you check my pulse and see what’s wrong ? ”
Cecelia opened her mouth to speak , but Wendy held up her hand . “ Okay , I’ll check . ”
Wendy reached out , gently placing her fingers on Luna’s wrist .

After a few moments , her delicate fingers stilled .
She looked up at Luna .
Luna’s eyes sparkled with anticipation . “ Wendy , what’s wrong with me ? ”
Wendy pulled her hand back and , with an icy calmness , said “ You’re pregnant . ”
What ?
Halsey and Cecelia both jumped in shock , unable to stay composed . “ You’re pregnant ? Who’s the father ? ”
Luna smiled at Wendy , a sly glint in her eyes . “ Wendy , when I was with Mr. Hawk , he didn’t use protection . I’m carrying his child . ”
Luna was pregnant – with Stanley’s child .
Wendy had already suspected Luna might be pregnant when she had seen Luna bending over to vomit , but hearing it confirmed aloud still made her fingers tighten into a fist .
Halsey and Cecelia exchanged a stunned glance , unable to believe what they were hearing .
Just then , a deep , magnetic voice cut through the tension .
“ What are you all doing here ? ”
Wendy looked up and saw Stanley , standing tall and imposing in the doorway .
Stanley was here !
Luna’s face lit up with excitement , and she quickly rushed to his side . “ Mr. Hawk , I have some great news to tell you . ”
Stanley gave her a brief glance . “ What’s the news ? ”
“ I’m pregnant ! ” Luna announced , her smile wide with triumph .
She told Stanley about her pregnancy .
Stanley’s lips curled into a thin , almost amused smile . “ Is the child mine ? ”
“ Yes , ” Luna confirmed eagerly . “ It happened that night . You’re going to be a father . ”
Stanley’s handsome face remained impassive , without a flicker of emotion . “ What do you want ? ”
