The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 326

Wendy paused for a moment, her small hand holding the utensils before she answered honestly, “I got married.”

What?

The group was stunned.

Lucas stared at Wendy in disbelief. “Wendy, you’re married?”

Wendy immediately sensed Stanley’s gaze on her. His eyes always had a way of making her feel pinned down. She tried her best to ignore him, smiling softly.

“Yeah, so these past few years, I haven’t been busy with anything… I’ve just been taking care of my husband, being a housewife.”

Wendy spoke the truth. For over three years, she had lived in complete seclusion, revolving around Stanley.

The other students were shocked. “Wendy, you chose to be a housewife in your prime?”

“We actually got divorced not too long ago,” Wendy added.

That took everyone by surprise even more.

“The man who made Wendy willingly become a housewife must have been something

else.”

“Wendy, who is your husband–I mean, your ex–husband?”

The group became intensely curious about Wendy’s ex–husband. They were eager to know what kind of man could capture Wendy’s heart.

Wendy lifted her gaze to the man across from her.

Stanley was sitting perfectly still, hardly touching his utensils. Wendy knew he didn’t like

Now, his dark, intense gaze was fixed on her face, mirroring the curiosity of the others, as though waiting for her to answer.

How was she supposed to answer?

Her ex–husband was indeed exceptional, and he was sitting right there with everyone.

Wendy turned her attention back to the group and smiled gently. “It’s all in the past now. Let’s not talk about him anymore. Here’s to our new lives.”

The people around the table were all sharp–witted. Since Wendy didn’t want to discuss it, they didn’t press her further. They quickly moved on and raised their glasses.

“To new beginnings.”

As the group clinked glasses, Stanley sat at the head of the table, his expensive watch catching the light as he gracefully sipped his water.

“Wendy, now that you’re back, I’m assuming you want to work again. Why don’t you join

us?”

Wendy immediately declined. She did have a job, but it wasn’t something she could openly talk about. “Thanks, everyone, but I’m in Hovendale right now, so it’s not really

convenient.”

“Hovendale? Oh, Stanley’s also in Hovendale.”

“Stanley, Wendy is your junior. You should really help her out, maybe even bring her into

your company.”

Wendy didn’t know how to respond. She wished she could reject outright.

Stanley’s gaze lingered on Wendy’s face. She had taken off her white puffer jacket, her long black hair loosely tied with a simple hairband. A few strands had fallen behind her ear, resting against her snowy white neck. She looked so pure and beautiful, almost ethereal.

Her bright eyes met his, and she said, “No need to trouble Mr. Hawk-

Stanley’s lips curved slightly as he suddenly spoke. “Why do you always call me Mr. Hawk? Why don’t you call me by my first name?”

Wendy’s heart skipped a beat.

“Haha, Wendy, you really are something! Why do you call everyone by their first name, but you call Stanley ‘Mr. Hawk‘?”

“Wendy, you’re in Hovendale now. You’d better hold onto his coattails tight. Go ahead and call him ‘Stanley‘.”

The group, eager to stir the pot, laughed and encouraged her to call Stanley by his first

name.
