Chapter 752
Wendy answered the call , and Halsey’s cheerful voice came through . “ Are you still in the Capital ? Let’s hang out ! ”
“I don’t have time today . I’m at the courthouse . ”
There was a pause on the other end , then Halsey gasped . “ The courthouse ? ”
“ Yes , ” Wendy said quietly . “ Stanley and I are getting our marriage license . ”
What ?!

Halsey practically exploded with excitement . “ Why didn’t you tell me you were marrying Stanley again ? You’ll be my cousin – in- law now ! This is amazing . I always knew you and Stanley belonged together ! ”
Wendy smiled softly . “ Let’s get together another day . ”
After Wendy hung up , the courthouse staff called out , “ Number 18 Number 18 , please come forward to register ! ”
Wendy glanced down at the number slip in her hand – number 18. It was her turn to marry Stanley .
She looked outside but saw no sign of Stanley’s tall , strong figure .
He said he was on his way , so why wasn’t he here yet ?
“ Number 18 ! Is number 18 here ? ”
Wendy stepped forward quickly . “ Hello , I’m number 18. ”
The clerk frowned . “ Why are you alone ? Where’s your fiancé ? ”
“ Sorry , he got held up . You can let the couple behind me go first . ”
The clerk raised an eyebrow . “ Getting a marriage license is a big deal in life . How could he be late for something like this ? ”
Wendy felt a chill run through her . She didn’t know why Stanley was late , either .
“ He’s probably busy with work . It’s okay . I’ll wait for him . ”
The clerk nodded . “ Alright . Take a seat . Number 19 , please come forward . ”
Wendy stepped outside the courthouse and dialed Stanley’s number . The phone rang again and again , but no one answered .
He wasn’t picking up !
She called a few more times , still no answer . What on earth was he doing ?
Suddenly , a notification popped up regarding messages in their WhatsApp group .
Cecelia asked in the group , [ Wendy , are you really remarrying Mr. Hawk ?]
Halsey replied , [ Yes , she’s at the courthouse now . She must have already gotten the license with Stanley ! ]
Cecelia grumbled about Stanley . [ That guy sure is lucky to have Wendy willing to give him another chance . But this is the last time – if he messes it up again , he won’t be so lucky next time ! ]
Halsey added firmly , [Of course . If Stanley lets Wendy down again , I’ll be the first to disapprove . ]
Cecelia continued . [ Hey , why isn’t Wendy replying ? ]
Halsey replied , [ She’s probably with Stanley now . Let’s not disturb the newlyweds today . ]
Cecelia relented . [ Alright . Wendy , congratulations on getting hitched ! ]

Halsey chimed in , [ Wishing you both happiness ! )
Wendy read the messages , but didn’t reply . She didn’t know what to say since Stanley still hadn’t shown up .

Back inside the courthouse , Wendy sat down , determined . Since she had promised to marry him , she would wait here until he
arrived .
Hours passed – one hour , two , three , four …
Finally , a staff member approached her gently .
“ Is your fiancé showing up ? We’re about to close for the day . ”
