Downstairs , Halsey’s heart fell .
Uh oh ! She might have said too much .
Halsey had been furious ; she had wanted to stand up for Wendy , and she especially felt sorry for the baby inside Wendy . In her anger , she had blurted everything out without thinking .
She quickly said , “ Baby ? You must’ve misheard ! I never mentioned anything about a baby . ”
Stanley gripped the phone even more tightly . “ You clearly sold something about a baby . You said I abandoned Wendy and the baby . Halsey , are you hiding something from me ? ”
Halsey felt a twinge of guilt . Luckily , Stanley wasn’t there , or her poor lying skills would’ve given her away . “ I told you , you must’ve misheard . I didn’t say anything about a baby . Do you really want one so badly ? ”
The question caught Stanley off guard , leaving him speechless .
“ See ? You don’t even like kids , so why ask ? I’ve got things to do . Bye . ” Halsey quickly ended the call .
Stanley stood in his apartment , listening to the busy signal , his brows furrowed . He was certain he hadn’t misheard .
Could it be true ? Was Wendy pregnant ?
Stanley suddenly recalled a time when she had asked him whether he liked kids .
He glanced down at his wristwatch . It was already very late . Samuel was staying at her place . What were they doing right now ?
Stanley turned around and quickly left his apartment . He walked straight to Wendy’s apartment again .
He rang the doorbell .
The door opened soon after , but it wasn’t Wendy who answered ; it was Samuel .
Samuel , looking handsome and relaxed , stood by the door . Seeing Stanley didn’t seem to surprise him . “ Mr. Hawk , back again ? Are you looking for Wendy ? ”
Stanley pressed his lips together tightly . “ Where is she ? ”
Samuel replied casually , “ She’s taking a shower . ”
Stanley’s hands , which had been hanging by his sides , clenched into fists in an instant . “ It’s late . Why are you still here ? ”
Samuel chuckled . “ It is late . Why are you here , looking for Wendy ? I’m her boyfriend now . I think that justifies me being here but it doesn’t seem right for you to keep coming around looking for her . ”
Stanley sneered , his lips curling coldly , “Wendy may be your girlfriend now , but she was my wife . Why can’t I come see her ? ”
Samuel replied , “ If you stay , you’ll be in the way when Wendy and I get busy later . ”
Stanley shot back , “ Wendy’s my ex – wife . We’ve done everything couples do together . I’ve seen every part of her . ”
The two of them exchanged barbed words , volleying back and forth with sharp , pointed remarks , each one trying
to outdo the other ..

Samuel finally said , “ Well , you said it yourself . Wendy is your ex – wife . It’s over between you . ”
Stanley snapped , “ Whether or not it’s over between us is none of your business . Do you have nothing better to do , butting in on other people’s affairs ? ”
At that moment , a soft , melodic voice interrupted , “ Who is t ? ”
Stanley looked up and saw Wendy , freshly out of the shower . She had changed into a loose , champagne – colored nightgown , her small , delicate face flushed with a healthy low from the warmth of the steam . Her skin seemed soft and fresh , radiating a youthful , delicate beauty .
Wendy froze when she saw Stanley standing by the door . “ What are you doing here again ? ”
“ I don’t know why he’s here again either , ” Samuel chimed in .
Wendy turned to Stanley . “ Do you need something ? If you do , just say it . ”
Stanley , with determined steps , bypassed Samuel and walked straight into the apartment . He reached out and grabbed Wendy’s slender wrist firmly .
“ Come with me . ”
