Chapter 459

Downstairs, Halsey’s heart fell.

Uh oh! She might have said too much.

Halsey had been furious; she had wanted to stand up for Wendy, and she especially felt sorry for the baby inside Wendy. In her anger, she had blurted everything out without thinking.

She quickly said, “Baby? You must’ve misheard! I never mentioned anything about a baby.”

Stanley gripped the phone even more tightly. “You clearly sold something about a baby. You said I abandoned Wendy and the baby. Halsey, are you hiding something from me?”

Halsey felt a twinge of guilt. Luckily, Stanley wasn’t there, or her poor lying skills would’ve given her away. “I told you, you must’ve misheard. I didn’t say anything about a baby. Do you really want one so badly?”

The question caught Stanley off guard, leaving him speechless.

“See? You don’t even like kids, so why ask? I’ve got things to do. Bye.” Halsey quickly ended the call.

Stanley stood in his apartment, listening to the busy signal, his brows furrowed. He was certain he hadn’t misheard.

Could it be true? Was Wendy pregnant?

Stanley suddenly recalled a time when she had asked him whether he liked kids.

He glanced down at his wristwatch. It was already very late. Samuel was staying at her place. What were they doing right now?

Stanley turned around and quickly left his apartment. He walked straight to Wendy’s apartment again.

He rang the doorbell.

The door opened soon after, but it wasn’t Wendy who answered; it was Samuel.

Samuel, looking handsome and relaxed, stood by the door. Seeing Stanley didn’t seem to surprise him. “Mr. Hawk, back again? Are you looking for Wendy?”

Stanley pressed his lips together tightly. “Where is she?”

Samuel replied casually, “She’s taking a shower.”

Stanley’s hands, which had been hanging by his sides, clenched into fists in an instant. “It’s late. Why are you still here?”

Samuel chuckled. “It is late. Why are you here, looking for Wendy? I’m her boyfriend now. I think that justifies me being here but it doesn’t seem right for you to keep coming around looking for her.”

Stanley sneered, his lips curling coldly, “Wendy may be your girlfriend now, but she was my wife. Why can’t I come see her?”

Samuel replied, “If you stay, you’ll be in the way when Wendy and I get busy later.”

Stanley shot back, “Wendy’s my ex–wife. We’ve done everything couples do together. I’ve seen every part of her.”

The two of them exchanged barbed words, volleying back and forth with sharp, pointed remarks, each one trying

to outdo the other..

Samuel finally said, “Well, you said it yourself. Wendy is your ex–wife. It’s over between you.”

Stanley snapped, “Whether or not it’s over between us is none of your business. Do you have nothing better to do, butting in on other people’s affairs?”
