Luma’s eyes shone with pride – she couldn’t wait to flaunt her happiness in front of Wendy .
Wendy’s gaze remained cold , and she didn’t respond .
Luna placed her hand on her small belly , a smug smile curling her fips . “ Wendy , you’re not jealous of me , are you ? Some people have to take the morning – after pill after a night and even faint from the allergies , while I get pregnant and am showered with love . Life sure isn’t fair , is it ? ”
“ Hey ! ” Halsey and Cecelia both moved as if to say something , but Wendy raised a hand to stop them .
“ Let’s go , ” she said softly , her voice level .
With that , Wendy turned on her heel and walked away .
Halsey and Cecelia quickly followed . “ Wently , why didn’t you let us put her in her place ? ”
Wendy gave a bitter , almost self – deprecating smile . “ Why bother? She’s just telling the truth . ”
She took the morning – after pill and fainted from an allergic reaction . Meanwhile , Luna got pregnant and became a huge star .
It was painfully obvious who Stanley loved and didn’t .
Luna knew exactly how to sting Wendy . Every word felt like a needle , sharp and deliberate , lodging itself in Wendy’s heart , always causing a faint ache .
The three women were waiting for the elevator when a group of people approached . At the front was that tall , handsome figure – Stanley had arrived .
Stanley was accompanied by Zayn and others . The hotel manager greeted them personally . “ Mr. Hawk , please , allow us to take the VIP elevator . ”
The manager activated the VIP elevator .
Stanley had indeed come . He was here for Luna’s birthday party .
It made sense . Luna was carrying his child , after all . He would certainly be here .
Just then , Stanley’s gaze swept over to Wendy , and their eyes met for a brief moment .
“ Come in , ” he said , his voice steady .
He was inviting them into the VIP elevator .
The manager immediately stepped aside for the ladies . “ Please join us . ”
Wendy hesitated , not wanting to go in , She still couldn’t understand why Stanley had apologized to her last night , but she wasn’t about to forgive him . She didn’t want to share an elevator with him , and honestly , she hadn’t expected to run into him today .
But Halsey and Cecelia , one on each side , pulled her into the elevator anyway .
They weren’t afraid of him . They had no reason to .
Wendy sighed inwardly .
She glanced at Stanley again . Today , he was wearing a custom black suit , looking every bit the aloof , handsome businessman . He was surrounded by people , his demeanor cold and detached .

Stanley had looked at her for a moment , then turned away , not bothering to glance in her direction again .
Wendy stepped into the corner , trying to distance herself from him .
They both acted like strangers .
Just then , the hotel manager spoke up . “ Mr. Hawk , what happened to your neck ? Did you get bitten ? ”
The manager had sharp eyes and noticed the small bite marks on Stanley’s throat .
The room fell silent , all eyes focusing on Stanley’s neck .
“ Mr. Hawk , it really does look like you were bitten . ”
Wendy stood in the corner , deliberately keeping to herself . She didn’t want anyone to pay attention to her .
But the sudden attention to the bite marks , made her spine stiffen . She could feel her back straighten in response , her body tense .
She heard Stanley’s voice , low and smooth , explaining matter – of – factly , “ Yeah , I was bitten , by a little puppy . ”
“ A puppy ? ”
Stanley let out a faint , ambiguous laugh . “ I’ve got a puppy . It’s not well – behaved , always biting me . ”
“ You have a puppy ? How lucky the puppy must be to have you as its owner ! ”
The crowd started to murmur in admiration , clearly envious .
Wendy , feeling utterly speechless , remained silent .
The elevator soon arrived with a soft ding , and she quickly stepped out .
Halsey and Cecelia followed , calling after her . “ Wendy , why are you rushing ? Wait for us ! ”
Stanley watched as Wendy walked away , a slow , almost unnoticeable smile tugging at the corners of his lips .
Just then , his phone buzzed with a new message . It was from Luna .
