Chapter 325
Wendy quickly tucked her cold , snow – covered hands into her sleeves .
“ Wendy , I got you … ”
Just then , Lucas returned , holding a pair of fuzzy gloves in his hands .
He had gone back to the hotel to buy the gloves because he was worried Wendy’s hands might be freezing . But when he returned , he found Stanley was already there .
Stanley had arrived first and was now standing next to Wendy , both of them sheltered
under the same black umbrella .
Lucas felt a bit disappointed . It seemed his gloves were too late – Wendy wouldn’t need
them now .
He walked over and asked , “ Stanley , what are you doing here ? ”
Lucas had also graduated from Harfield , but in front of someone like Stanley , who was truly exceptional , he still felt a little inferior .
At that moment , the other students gathered around . “ Stanley , didn’t you say you weren’t coming ? What brought you here ? ”
Everyone was curious about why Stanley had shown up unexpectedly .
Stanley glanced at the group and replied in his deep , calm voice , “ I was nearby on business , so I decided to stop by. ”
Wendy looked at him , her clear eyes full of disbelief . He was here on business ? It seemed
too much of a coincidence .
“ Well , since you’re already here , why not stay and have fun with us ? ” the group eagerly invited Stanley .
Stanley gave Wendy a brief glance before nodding . “ Sure . ”

Everyone cheered , excited by his decision . One of them suggested , “ Let’s go have fondue tonight ! ”
“ Fondue and snow – what a perfect combination ! ”
“ You’re buying , Stanley ! ”
With Stanley around , he was usually the one picking up the tab .
Stanley didn’t object . “ Alright . ”
They all went to a restaurant and found a table by the window . Several of the students eagerly pulled Wendy to sit with them . “ Wendy , come sit here . ”
They adored Wendy and treated her like a younger sister , always looking out for her .
Wendy sat down , and just then , Lucas tried to take the seat next to her . Since Wendy and Lucas were the youngest students there , it made sense for them to sit together .
But suddenly , Stanley’s deep , magnetic voice broke through . “ Lucas , why don’t you sit next to me ? ”
Stanley , who had already taken the main seat at the round table , suddenly called out to
Lucas .
Everyone chuckled . “ Go on , Lucas . Sit by Stanley . ”
“ Stanley , of all the juniors , Lucas is the one who reminds me the most of you . ”
Lucas was outstanding in both academics and character . At such a young age , he was already the CEO of a publicly listed company and a rising star in the tech world . There was a certain air about him that reminded everyone of Stanley . Sometimes , they jokingly called
him “ Stanley Junior “ .
Lucas had initially hoped to get a bit closer to Wendy , but with Stanley’s sudden request , he could only stand up and move to sit next to Stanley .
Lucas smiled . “ I’m nowhere near as good as Stanley , but I’ll aim to be like him . ”

Soon , the cheese fondues arrived , one in the original flavor and the other spicy . Snow was falling outside , and inside , the steam from the pot filled the room , creating a warm , inviting atmosphere .
Stanley’s gaze shifted to Wendy , who was sitting with the senior students . She liked to dip her bread into the spicy cheese fondue , and the heat made her fair cheeks turn a rosy red . Her little lips looked even more vibrant , almost glowing .
Lucas’s eyes never left Wendy . “ Do you like spicy food ? ”
Wendy nodded . “ Yeah . “ .
Stanley’s brows twitched slightly . He remembered that she didn’t like spicy food .
Had her taste changed ?
The group looked at Wendy . “ So , Wendy , what have you been doing these past few years after graduation ? ”
Everyone was curious about the prodigy . As far as they knew , Wendy didn’t seem to have a job at the moment .
