Chapter 160

Penulis: Glazed Snow
Nathan didn't even glance at the gifts from the others, but when it came to the one from Wendy, he seemed genuinely interested.

"I'm curious too," he said with a smile.

Benny casually placed the gift bag on the coffee table, and Nathan reached in to pull out the contents.

Wendy's heart sank as she realized the gift might disappoint Nathan. She nervously said, "Nathan, I came in a bit of a rush, so I just bought you—"

She was about to say "a wallet" but stopped abruptly when Nathan pulled out not a wallet, but a letter.

Wendy froze.

"Nathan, the pretty lady wrote you a letter? Come on, read it out loud for us!" someone urged.

Nathan held up the letter and read it out loud. "Nathan, today's your birthday, and I wanted to give you a special gift. Honestly, from the moment I saw you, I've fallen for you. I promise to be your girlfriend. Let's make this official."

Wendy felt her heart stop.

She didn't write this letter. Her gift had been swapped!

She recalled how Benny had hand

  • The Heartbreak Prescription   Chapter 161

    "Stanley." Jessica finally spoke up, breaking the tension. "You don't even like Wendy, and we both know you two are bound to divorce eventually. But now Wendy has found her happiness, and it's with Nathan. Wendy managed to win over someone that even the richest debutantes couldn't. We should be happy for her, shouldn't we, Stanley?"Stanley's cold eyes briefly narrowed, his gaze sharpening at her words.At that moment, the attendants brought over the cake and lit the candles. "It's time for the birthday boy to make a wish and blow out the candles."Nathan blew out the candles and then began slicing the cake. The first piece, of course, was meant for the birthday boy.But Nathan took a piece of the cake and held it up to Wendy's lips instead.Wendy glanced at him before opening her mouth to eat. Just as she was about to take a bite, Nathan pulled his hand away, teasing her.Seeing the playful grin on Nathan's face, Wendy knew just how to play the part of the affectionate gir

    Stanley raised his hand and gently pulled his arm away from Jessica's grip. His voice was cold and indifferent as he said, "I've had some drinks, so I can't drive. I'm heading back to the office now. You can go home by yourself."Zayn pulled up with the Rolls Royce, and Stanley climbed into the car before it drove off.Jessica stood there, alone. She wasn't upset; on the contrary, she was rather pleased with how things were going.Just then, Sienna walked over, stomping her feet in frustration. "Jessica, can you believe that Wendy actually wrote a love letter to seduce Nathan? She's so shameless!"The love letter wasn't Wendy's doing—it was something Jessica had Benny prepare. But she hadn't told Sienna that. This was all part of her plan—getting Wendy and Nathan together while also fueling Sienna's hatred for Wendy."Sienna, Wendy doesn't deserve Nathan. But you know how men are—they always want what they can't have. Trust me, it won't be long before Nathan gets tired of her," Je

    Stanley opened his social media app and saw the latest post Nathan had shared. It was a photo taken at Clavendale University's sports stadium. The people were out of view, but their shadows were visible. One shadow was delicate and graceful, the other handsome and striking—obviously Wendy and Nathan. Nathan had captioned it, [The best birthday gift.] The post immediately attracted attention, and the wealthy heirs couldn't help but comment.[Nathan, it's your birthday today. Why are you still outside?] [Why are you two hanging out on campus? The presidential suite is already waiting for you!][You guys don't get it! Nathan's staying in the girls' dorm tonight.] [Dating a college girl—now that's exciting.]Stanley read through the comments, his throat tightening. His mind wandered back to Wendy's dorm, to the little bed with the heart-shaped prints—he had slept there not long ago. He and Wendy had shared that bed. Would Nathan be sleeping there tonight, too? Stanley lowe

    The tinted windows of the luxurious car allowed those inside to see out, but no one could peer inside. Wendy couldn't see Stanley, but she could feel the weight of his cold, dark gaze, fixated on her and Nathan. Why had he suddenly shown up to find her?Wendy turned to Nathan. "Nathan, it's getting late. I think I should head back to my dorm." Nathan grinned. "Alright, I'll come find you next time."He got into his Ferrari, and with a loud roar, the sports car sped off.Wendy watched Nathan leave before she walked toward the Rolls-Royce Phantom. She reached for the backseat door and slid inside.The Rolls-Royce glided smoothly down the road, the luxurious interior illuminated by the neon lights of the night. Stanley's hands, long and defined, gripped the steering wheel. The soft glow from the streetlights outside flickered across his handsome face, casting shadows and creating an air of mystery, as if his face were part of a classic black-and-white film.Wendy broke the sile

    Stanley was angry now—angry that she had said this was the last time and that he shouldn't come looking for her after this. Wendy's soft red lips moved toward him, but he impatiently pushed her away. However, her small hand, which had been resting on his shoulder, moved to wrap around his neck, pulling herself closer to him. "Stanley, don't push me away!"Her clear, shimmering eyes locked onto his, her voice soft but firm, with a hint of a playful lilt. The challenge in her tone made his muscles tighten."Same condition," she continued. "This is our secret. I won't tell Jessica."She kissed him again. Stanley's narrowed eyes darkened, blood rushing to his face. A man who had tasted that kind of pleasure once was like a wild animal, occasionally yearning for and remembering that feeling. Her boldness, her clinginess, easily sparked the fire within him.He gave up resisting, and as she pressed forward, he took control, his large hand gripping her smooth, fragrant shoulder.

    Halsey pulled Wendy up from the couch. "Wendy, wake up! What were you doing? You look completely wiped out."Wendy rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled, "I just want to sleep a little longer.""Sleep? No way! Get up now. Let's hit the bar." Halsey dragged Wendy to the bar, and before long, they were inside a luxurious private room with a few familiar faces: Jessica, Benny, Sienna, and some rich heirs.Benny, lounging on the sofa, spoke up. "Jessica, Stanley's been on a business trip for two days, right? Is he coming back tonight?"After that night, Stanley left for his trip, and Wendy hadn't seen him since. Naturally, they hadn't been in contact either. According to the unspoken agreement, after that night, they owed each other nothing—but they had one more secret between them.Jessica smiled slyly. "Yeah, Stanley's coming back tonight.""The other night, Mr. Hawk took his car on the highway, right? I heard he was speeding like he was in a race, and the camera caught him, so he g

    Wendy froze, unsure of what he meant. Wasn't the ruby necklace meant for Jessica? Why was he asking if she liked it? Could it be that he bought two—one for Jessica and one for her? It wasn't entirely impossible. He had the money, after all.Wendy found it almost laughable. No matter his intentions, she wasn't going to keep second-guessing him or chasing after him anymore. That night on the highway had already settled everything between them—they no longer owed each other. She put her phone away without replying. Just then, Jessica walked over with a bright smile on her face. "Wendy, you're here too?"Her mood was clearly great, likely because she'd heard Stanley was giving her a ruby necklace. She was someone who loved luxury, and knowing about that gift had clearly made her day.Wendy nodded. "Just came by to hang out.""Stanley's planning a trip with me and Sienna to a resort in a couple of days. It's famous for its hot springs, and we're going to relax in the baths.

    He had left.But Wendy wasn't thinking about his departure. What bothered her more was what he had done—how could he just toss that ruby necklace into the trash like it was nothing?That ruby was worth over a million!Even though he was rich, he shouldn't just throw away something so expensive!Without wasting a second, Wendy rushed to the trash can, reaching in to grab the precious bag. Fortunately, it wasn't dirty or damaged—how tragic it would have been if it had been ruined!Back in the dorm, Wendy sat at her vanity and opened the ornate box. The ruby and diamond necklace inside shimmered brilliantly under the light, stunning her with its breathtaking beauty.Stanley had always had impeccable taste. After all, he was born into a family of privilege, a high-born heir with a refined sense of style.

    Nathan chuckled. "So, the 'help' Wendy was talking about was Jessica."Stanley raised an eyebrow. "Help?""Well, earlier, you and Wendy were neck and neck," Nathan continued, "Wendy said that Jessica has a weak heart, and even if you're the best driver, Jessica can't stand the speed, and she's bound to help Wendy out."Did she really say that?Stanley's gaze shifted toward Wendy's retreating figure, and a faint smile tugged at his lips. Nathan nudged him with his shoulder. "She's interesting, isn't she?"Stanley raised an eyebrow, but didn't answer. Meanwhile, Jessica stood there, completely ignored, feeling like she was invisible. -Wendy and Nathan entered the Presidential Suite with a breathtaking view of the sea, while Jessica and Stanley headed to the Executive Suite. Cecelia and Sienna had also arrived, eager to visit the famous hot springs at the resort later that evening. Cecelia grabbed Wendy's arm. "Wendy, let's go buy some bikinis!"They arrived at the bikin

    Stanley's sports car suddenly swerved toward Wendy, attempting to force her off the track. But Wendy didn't back down. The right side of her car scraped against the wall, sending sparks flying. In the blink of an eye, she skillfully drifted her car to the side and chased after Stanley. Her control of the car was impressive, even stunning. Stanley watched Wendy, feeling the breeze on his face. Her long, dark hair flowed out behind her, rippling in the wind, some strands catching on her delicate cheeks and slender neck. She looked so radiant, so captivating, it was impossible to look away. Wearing sunglasses, she slowly glanced at him, then gave him the finger."Damn it!" Stanley muttered under his breath, a low, rough laugh escaping from his throat. The sight of her stirred something deep inside him. She made his heart itch. In his mind, Wendy was just a country girl, always causing trouble and orbiting around him. But there were moments, like now, when her cleverness in ou

    Jessica looped her arm through Stanley's, leaning into him. "Stanley, let's share a room."Nathan wrapped his arm around Wendy's slender shoulders. "Wendy, let's stay in the same room, too."Stanley glanced at Wendy, watching as she nodded. "Alright."She agreed to stay in the same room as Nathan.Stanley's lips tightened into a thin line.Wendy noticed Stanley's gaze. She lifted her eyes and met the cold, dark depths of his stare.What was he looking at her for?The memory of the awkward exchange on WhatsApp the night before suddenly rushed back to her. At the time, she had been scrambling to find an escape, but now, she calmly shifted her gaze away.The hotel manager smiled warmly. "Mr. Hawk, Mr. Lowe, here we have the Presidential Oceanic Suite and the Executive Oceanic Suite. How would you like to divide them?"Jessica, already aware that the Presidential Suite had the best view, smiled triumphantly. "I'll take the Presidential Suite. Wendy, you and Nathan can have the Exe

    Wendy clicked on the message, seeing "Hubby" had sent a smiley emoji.Wendy froze for a second, then she covered her face and screamed, "Ah!"Stanley was sitting in the CEO's office, watching Wendy's chat window flash repeatedly with "typing…" for several minutes. Eventually, it seemed the person on the other end gave up, and nothing came through as the screen fell silent.The storm cloud that had been hanging over Stanley's handsome face cleared, and he couldn't help but laugh.Wendy couldn't stand teasing.Stanley's mind drifted to the screenshot he had seen earlier—the picture of her delicate, pink neck adorned with the ruby necklace. It was truly beautiful. Her best friend had called him what again? "Jerk"?[That jerk? Wendy, you must've pleasured him well, huh? He just gave you a ruby necklace as a reward.] Stanley's gaze deepened as images of their time in the car flashed through his mind.His handsome eyelids fluttered a few times, and he had to admit, Wendy had truly
