MainNovelChapter 1086
Wendy turned around and walked away. She wandered alone through the quiet hallway when a low, warm voice
rang out from behind her.
“Wendy.”
She stopped and looked back to see Stanley catching up to her.
He had followed her out.
“Wendy!” Stanley called as he walked closer.
Wendy quickly took several steps back. “Don’t cany closer! We should keep sdistance between us.”
He still carried the Heartchain Curse in his body. The closer he got to her, the worse the pain became.
Stanley was the kind of man who never cried out, no matter how much it hurt. Because he stayed silent, Wendy
never really knew how much pain he was in. The only thing she could do for him was stay far enough away.
Seeing her back away, Stanley froze where he stood. There were only a few steps between them, yet it felt like
an impossible distance.
Wendy asked Stanley softly, “What did you want to talk toabout?”
He hesitated for a moment. “Nothing. | just wanted to see you.”
Wendy's heart softened a little. “I-”
Before she could finish, a familiar voice interrupted her. “Stanley, what are you doing here?”
Wendy looked up and saw Jessica walking toward them.
Jessica was here.
Shaun's proposal party was meant for close friends and family only, yet Jessica had managed to find the place so
quickly. It was obvious she wasn’t going to give up on Stanley.

I've been looking all over for you!”
Stanley's eyes left Wendy's face and turned to Jessica. “You need something?”
“Of course | do!” Jessica said brightly. “We're almost getting married, remember? Cwithtomorrow to try
on wedding outfits! | just got the custom dress Ms. Olsen ordered for me, and | want you to be the first person to
seein it.”
Her tone was overly sweet, every word designed for Wendy to hear.
Stanley didn’t say a thing.
Jessica turned to Wendy as if she had just noticed her. “Oh, you're here too! Stanley's coming withtomorrow
to the bridal shop. Wanna come?”

Wendy's voice was cool. “I'm busy tomorrow.”
Without another word, she turned and left.
Jessica's grin widened, the joy barely hidden on her face. She loved getting under Wendy's skin, and seeing that
hint of emotion in her eyes made her feel victorious.
Jessica turned to Stanley and asked in mock confusion, “Why did Wendy just leave like that?”
Stanley pulled his arm out of her grasp. “You know exactly why we're getting married.”
She froze.
His eyes were cold, his voice sharp with disdain. “So stop pretending. I'm worried you'll start believing your own
act.”
Then he turned and walked away, leaving her standing there, furious.
Jessica stomped her foot in anger. She swore that one day, she’d make Stanley fall for her!
Wendy stepped outside to get sfresh air.

Just then, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed her arm.
