The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Jessica and Lilian’s expressions instantly changed.

Wendy turned to Jessica, feigning surprise. “Oh, no! Don’t tell me Mr. Hawk didn’t mention he kissed me last night?”

She pretended to recall thoughtfully. “Last night, when Mr. Hawk kissed me, it was so clumsy and rushed, completely lacking any

skill. Honestly, I started to doubt if he even knew how to kiss.”

Jessica looked at Stanley in shock. Had he kissed Wendy?

Stanley’s handsome face turned ice–cold in an instant. It was unclear whether it was because Wendy had deliberately told Jessica

about their kiss, or because she publicly criticized his kissing skills. Either way, his sharp eyes darkened and fixed on Wendy with

a chilling intensity.

“Wendy!” he called her name, displeased.

Wendy sneered. ‘Oh?‘

Was he upset just because she said something about Jessica?

Her clear, piercing eyes landed on Stanley’s face. “Why are you yelling? With kissing skills that bad, I don’t even want to spend.

another minute with you. Let’s get divorced!”

Everyone was speechless.

Had Wendy completely lost her mind today?

Stanley frowned deeply. “Fine. Let’s divorce right now!”

Wendy was now

ow seated in the back of Stanley’s Rolls–Royce Phantom, while he drove up front. They were heading to the

courthouse.

The luxurious, silent car was steeped in tension. Neither of them spoke.

Stanley’s large, watch–adorned hand rested on the steering wheel as he executed a series of smooth, precise maneuvers- accelerating, changing lanes, and making turns seamlessly.

“Who picked you up last night?” he suddenly asked.

Last night…

Those words tugged at Wendy’s nerves. “The man you sent wasn’t my type, so I went looking for someone else.”

Stanley’s grip tightened on the steering wheel. He glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his gaze sharp with warning.

“Wendy, are you bringing up last night’s kiss repeatedly because you can’t stop thinking about it?”

Wendy was speechless.

Stanley remained silent.

The atmosphere in the car turned oppressive, crackling with tension.

Stanley frowned. ‘Grandma wants to see Wendy… Just when I’m on my way to divorce her?”

Gripping the wheel, he changed direction and drove toward the family estate.

Wendy immediately spoke up. “Where are you taking me?”

Stanley’s face remained expressionless. “Grandma wants to see you. You’ll know what to do when we get there.”

Wendy found it ironic. “Act like we’re a loving couple? I can’t do that anymore.”

Stanley sneered. “Haven’t you always enjoyed putting on an act in front of Grandma?”

A pang of guilt shot through Wendy’s heart. Glinda Hawk’s health had always been fragile. Back when Wendy used to visit the estate, Stanley was cold and distant toward her. She had been the one trying to maintain the facade of affection.

It had all been her one–woman show.

And now, he was mocking her for it.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the Hawk family estate. As Wendy walked across the lawn, she happened to run into

someone coming out of the estate–Sienna Hawk.
