Got it.”

While Wendy was gone, Sammy mentioned, Waylon stopped by this afternoon. Didn’t ask to see 

you

Sammy knew who Waylon really wasand she also knew Wendy had met him privately once

Wendy paused in her steps and turned to look at her

Sammy added, He didn’t say anything, but Maggie told me he left right after she mentioned you’d be in meetings all-afternoon. My guess is, he came to see you.” 

Why would Waylon come find her

Other than the time they crossed paths at the restaurant, they hadn’t met privately. Even at the Rose Manor, it was just a fleeting encounter

Wendy’s eyes shifted, a guess forming in her mind

Understood. You can get off now.” 

She didn’t have Waylon’s number. If she wanted to reach him, she’d have to go through Chase

On the way home, she stopped to buy some of her mother’s favorite desserts. The thought of going home made her feel surprisingly light

She used to resent Chase for borrowing money from her mom. Only later did she learn he never actually used any of it. In fact, before he planned to leave, he returned every last cent

Even if Chase had used it, she realized nowit wouldn’t have mattered

Her words back then had been cruel. The more she thought about it, the more she regretted them

She’d make it up to him from now on

She’d never say something like that to hurt someone she loved again

Just as she was about to pull up to the house, her phone rang. The central screen displayed Henry’s name. She braked hard and pulled over to the side of the road

Wendy, I made your favorite dishes. Want to come eat?Henry’s voice was upbeat

Wendy rested her forehead on the steering wheel, clearly annoyed, though her tone remained polite

My mom asked me to come home.”

Chapter 44 Who She Chooses to Sit Beside 

Finished 

Chase had just used Madam Mandy against him earlier that day. Now, hearing her name again, Henry’s voice turned sharp with resentment

After a pause, Henry finally let out a laugh. I see. Well, go ahead and keep your mom company. Maybe I’ll come with you next time. I’ve never formally paid my respectsseems pretty rude of me. Especially after what happened last timeI’m sure she was shaken.” 

He deliberately brought up the time Chase stabbed him

Mm. I’m hanging up.” 

Wendy was eager to see Chase. She had no patience for Henry. But she was curiouswhat had put him in such a good mood

The partnership between Quinn Group and Harrison Entertainment wasn’t finalized, and Henry still hadn’t landed a suitable celebrity for the endorsement

Just as she entered the house, she glanced at a message from Zynnand instantly understood Henry’s excitement

So the Harrison parentsdisappointment in Henry had all been an act

Right after Henry came to discuss business with her, the Harrison family transferred one of their toptier male celebrities to Henry’s companyobviously backing him. They were trying to inflate Henry’s status by giving him star power

Henry hadn’t been happy about only being offered Quinn Group’s lowerend jewelry line. He didn’t dare show it too plainly, but he clearly wanted a higher price

Zynn: The artist transferred to him is Franklinan Alist actor whose recent films and TV shows have all been huge hits. He’s one of the hottest names in the industry right now, and the most. valuable male artist the Harrison family has.” 

Wendy handed the dessert box to the butler and lowered her head to reply to the message

I’m back.” 

Chase was still in the clothes he wore during the day, sleeves rolled upit looked like he’d been helping in the kitchen

Just like always, Wendy lowered her head to respond to messages and handed her coat to Chase. It was so routine, so natural, that Chase’s chest clenched. But the very next second, Wendy leaned over and kissed him on the check

Why’d you decide to come eat at home tonight?” 

Chase’s frustration disappeared instantly

It was different now. Wendy wasn’t cold anymore. Compared to her work, she seemed to care more about him

Chapter 44 Who She Chooses to Sit Beside 

a while, I’d beat him to it,Chase said, his tone teasing. This was the first time he openly mentioned Henry to hera direct challenge

He was testing her heart

Finished 

Wendy replied, He’s not coming. She tugged Chase inside. My mom never liked him. Not a chance.” 

They walked to the living room, where a cat was sprawled across the couch. Wendy frowned. She had no love for animals. Ever since she took over Quinn Group, she could barely take care of herselflet alone a clingy, delicate creature like a pet. She had almost lost her husband, after all

When did we get a cat?she asked, frowning

Madam Mandy came downstairs

At home, she was dressed comfortablysilk pajamas, no jewelry, her hair loosely pinned up. The usual chill in her expression had softened considerably

You don’t come home, and I’m not allowed a pet for company?she said, sitting at the head of the table. The place is too quiet. Not even a trace of warmth.” 

Traditionally, when they came to the old house, Madam Mandy sat at the head. Wendy and Chase always sat across from each other

But tonight, Chase had barely sat beside Madam Mandy when Wendy slid into the seat next to himand even took the half cup of tea from his hands to sip from

Seeing that, and the flicker of affection reappear in Chase’s eyes, Madam Mandy couldn’t hide the smile tugging at her lips
