Sienna, Stanley''s cousin, was particrly close to Jessica. When she spotted Wendy, her face immediately darkened with disdain.
"Wendy, Stanley doesn''t like you, and yet here you are cozying up to Grandma again? Honestly, in our family, only Grandma cares about you! Do you even know your worth? A country bumpkin who stood in as a recement bride when Jessica wasn''t around, and now you actually think you''re the young madam of the Hawk family? You''re not worthy of Stanley! Just hurry up divorce him already!" she snarled.
Wendy had grown used to it. Stanley''s family members, much like his friends, had always looked down on her.
Without sparing Sienna a nce, Wendy walked straight into the estate.

Glinda, with her silver hair neatlybed, lit up with joy as soon as she saw Wendy. She reached out and sped Wendy''s hand. "Wendy, why haven''t youe to visit me for so long? Don''t you miss me?"
This was the only warmth Wendy had ever received in the Hawk family. Glinda genuinely adored her.
Wendy smiled a little as she gently embraced Glinda, her tone yful. “Oh, Grandma. Of course I''ve missed you."
Glinda beamed with delight, her smile unable to fade.
At that moment, Stanley''s tall,manding figure stepped into the room.

With that, she headed for the kitchen.
Stanley took a seat next to Glinda. "Grandma."
Glinda nced toward the kitchen where Wendy had disappeared. "Stanley, have you been quarreling with Wendy?"
Stanley didn''t want to upset his grandmother, given her frail health. “No.”
"Then why did Wendy run off to the kitchen the moment you came in? She never used to do that."
Glinda''s gaze turned serious.
"Stanley, don''t let Jessica cloud your judgment. Three years ago, when you went into aa, Jessica left you without a second thought and went abroad. It was Wendy who married you and took care of you.
"In those three years when you were in that condition, I was under immense stress and my health deteriorated. Wendy not only cared for you but also came to the estate to look after me, preparing all kinds of herbal soups. Without Wendy, the Hawk family would have fallen apart long ago."
She held Stanley''s hand tightly.

Stanley raised his eyes and looked toward the kitchen. Wendy''s silky, jet-ck
hair was tied into a low ponytail, revealing her
delicate face and slender neck. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
The aroma of the herbal soup she was preparing soon wafted out of the kitchen. It was bittersweet, with a unique freshness.
Stanley realized how familiar this scent was-it was the same aroma that had apanied him during those three years.

He had thought it was Jessica.
But when he woke up, he saw Wendy. She had introduced herself as Wendy.
