Wendy’s lips curved into a gentle smile . “ I’m still here . ”
Stanley’s voice was tinged with worry . “ But will you leave ? When can’t see you , I get scared you might take Bella and abandon
me . ”
Wendy said nothing
Stanley pressed on , his voice raw with emotion .
“ I know you want to stay away from me right now . You don’t want me to suffer the pain of the Heartchain Curse . But more than the pain of the curse , I’m afraid of losing you and Bella . No matter what troubles come our way , we’ll face them together . Please don’t give up on me . Don’t leave me again . We’ve wasted three years – I don’t want to lose you and Bella for another three years , or even longer . ”
Hearing his heartfelt confession , Wendy lifted her hand and placed it against the door . She longed to see him , but for his own sake , they could only speak through the door .
Her red lips lifted in a soft smile . “ I promise that I won’t leave you . ”
No matter what impossible challenges lay ahead , as long as they faced them side by side , there was no doubt they could overcome anything .
Stanley’s thin lips curled into a faint smile . “ That’s all I want to hear . ”
Outside the door , Horace and Brittany watched their connection with warmth .
Horace stepped forward . “ We share responsibility for this Heartchain Curse . Wendy is our goddaughter now . Don’t worry – we’ll help both of you . ”
Stanley blinked , surprised to learn that Horace and Brittany had taken Wendy in as their goddaughter . “ What ? Wendy’s your … “ , Brittany chuckled . “ We like Wendy a lot , so we made her our goddaughter . We’re even planning a big party to announce her status . From now on , we’ll take good care of her . ”
Stanley smiled , feeling a deep happiness . He knew Horace and Brittany would be great parents to Wendy . To have two more people who loved her was something he fully welcomed .
Horace patted Stanley on the shoulder . “ I never thought that after all this time , you’d still end up as my son – in – law . ”
Horace suddenly remembered something . “ But didn’t you once say you’d never marry a daughter from the Larson family- ‘
“ Stop ! ” Stanley quickly cut him off , finally understanding how he had shot himself in the foot . “ I’m glad to be your son – in – law .
Stanley had just called himself Horace and Brittany’s son – in – law .
Inside the room , Wendy laughed quietly to herself . If it weren’t for the Heartchain Curse , she and Stanley would have been
married by now .
Horace grinned . “ You’re getting a little ahead of yourself . You’ll be our son – in – law once you’ve officially registered your marriage with Wendy . ”
Brittany nodded in agreement . “ Wendy calls the shots . You’ll have to get through her first . ”
The mood was light and easy , but suddenly Stanley’s face went pale . A sharp pain started pounding in his head again .
“ Stanley ! ” Horace caught him to keep him steady .
Inside , Wendy sensed his distress and anxiously called out , “ Stanley , are you okay ? ”
Stanley shook his head . “ I’m fine . ”

Wendy thought for a moment . “ You can’t just keep taking the pain We have to turn the tables and take control . ”
Horace asked , “ Have you come up with a plan ? ”
Brittany smiled . “ You’ve always been smart and full of ideas . I’m sure you’ve figured something out . ”
Wendy replied , “ I have an idea . ”
Stanley called out outside the door , “ What’s your plan ? ”
She paused , then asked quietly , “ Will you do as I say ? ”
“ Of course I will . ”
Wendy took a deep breath . “ You should marry Jessica . ”
