Chapter 54: The Start of the Plan
Rex opened the door. Wendy pursed her lips and asked, “Can you sleep with me?”
This woman!
His expression was tense. He held her hand and brought her into the room, “Lie down on the bed yourself.”
After that, he went into the bathroom to take another cold shower.
When Rex came out, Wendy was covered in a blanket, and her face was full of pain.
He lay down beside her and covered her lower abdomen with his big palm, “Does it hurt again?”
“Yes.”
“Have a baby with me,” Rex suddenly said, scaring Wendy so much that she turned around, “What did you say?”
Rex said with a serious face, “It won’t hurt if you give birth to a child, and you’re going to graduate.”
This had nothing to do with whether she graduated or not, okay?
“I……”
Rex suddenly thought of the matter that he had asked Clare to investigate a few days ago. He couldn’t hold back his curiosity anymore and asked directly, “I’ve been investigating the reason for Rosaria’s car accident. And during this, I found your family seems to have something to do with it, your mother……”
Wendy understood now. So, this was the reason why he had been cold these past few days?
“My mother has nothing to do with this at all. Although she was also injured in a car accident, another car hit hers at that time. After the incident, the car rolled down the cliff. By the time the hospital staff arrived, the driver of the other car had already left. We checked the surveillance footage; the cause of the accident was that the other party changed lanes while driving above the speed limit. I swear that Rosaria’s car accident had nothing to do with the Walters Family,” Wendy explained anxiously.
Rex let out a sigh of relief, “OK. Rosaria was hit by a car when she crossed the road. There is no connection between the two events. I believe you.”
“If you believe me, why are you still so cold to me these days?”
“I just……” Rex didn’t know how to explain.
Wendy’s face broke into a smile, “Forget it. There is no misunderstanding between us from now on.”
“Well.”
Rosaria, who was outside the door, heard everything in the room and hated Wendy very much. Her brother treated Wendy better than he treated her. Why should she have to be his sister? It was she, Rosaria, who had met him before Wendy.
Wendy, I won’t let you off!
The next day, because Wendy had menstrual cramps, Rex asked for a day off from school for her and told her to rest at home.
Early in the morning, Rosaria knocked on Wendy’s door and deliberately inquired about her well-being.
Wendy smiled as she took the water Rosaria brought, “Thank you, Rosaria. I’m not in a good state today, so I can’t cook for you.”
“It doesn’t matter. By the way, Wendy, can you tell me how you know my brother? I used to think my brother wouldn’t get married, at least with his personality I thought he would marry later.”
Wendy held the blanket and smiled, “There’s nothing special about our story, you know.”
Seeing that Wendy wouldn’t tell her, Rosaria quickly changed the subject, “Wendy, how many relationships have you had? You’re so beautiful, there must be a lot of boys chasing after you, right?”
As long as Wendy was treated with kindness by one person, she would forget their previous dissatisfaction. In addition, she felt that Rosaria was not a bad person. She had no one to talk to at home. Now that she seemed suddenly had a younger sister, she felt she could get close to Rosaria and let down her guard against Rosaria.
“In the past, I thought that I was engaged to Halsey and I was close to him. Later, after I married Rex, I realized that maybe love is unpredictable because you don’t know when the one will come to you and break all your rules……”
Rosaria didn’t hear a single word of the latter part of Wendy’s words. In Rosaria’s view, Wendy did have feelings for Halsey. If she played more tricks, her brother was bound to be suspicious of his wife.
On the weekend, Rosaria took advantage of her spare time to get Halsey’s contact information with others’ help. The Green Family was also famous and had some status in Jena City, though it was no match for the Gavyn Family. When her legs were still healthy, she had seen Halsey once because of business. The two of them had more or less crossed paths, but it wasn’t deep.
This time, maybe she could make use of Halsey.
Rosaria moved to the window in her wheelchair, took out her phone, and called Halsey.
Halsey was busy at work, so he didn’t pay much attention to the unknown number. However, the phone rang again and again. After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up, “Hello?”
“Excuse me, is this Mr. Green? Hello, I’m Rosaria Gavyn.”
Halsey frowned. Someone from the Gavyn Family?
Hearing that the other party did not speak, Rosaria immediately said, “I know that it’s presumptuous of me to suddenly call you like this, but I have something urgent to talk to you. Something about Wendy.”
“What’s wrong with Wendy?” Halsey looked nervous.
Rosaria smiled, thinking her plan had a chance.
“I don’t know if I should say it or not.” Rosaria held her phone and pretended to be hesitant.
Halsey lost his patience, “Come on! Just say it.”
“Actually……” said Rosaria, “In fact, she has not been living a good life since she married my brother. You know about political connections through marriages, alas…… and I also heard her calling your name in her sleep. I was wondering if…… so I called you.”
Halsey was both anxious and happy, “Did Wendy call my name?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“Yes, and she was very sad. I think she seems to…… like you.”
Halsey clenched his fists, “Was it Rex who treated her badly?”
Upon hearing this, Rosaria immediately shook her head, “No, it’s just…… It’s just that they don’t like each other, so…… I think you should understand. I don’t think this is going to work. You are a man; you should take action first. I also hope that the two of them can be happy and I know that forced love does not last.”
“I see. Thank you.”
“Well.”
After hanging up, Rosaria’s smile widened.
Wendy, this time I’ll let you have a taste of what it feels like to have your beloved thing stolen away from you.
In the afternoon, Wendy was drowsy, and her phone kept ringing. She didn’t even have the strength to answer the phone. She glanced at it and immediately woke up.
Halsey? Why was he calling me?
Wendy propped herself up, endured the discomfort, and answered the phone, “Hello?”
When Halsey heard her weak and sobbing voice, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, “Wendy, are you OK?”
Wendy nodded in confusion and didn’t want to say another word, “Yes.”
But her answer made Halsey think that Wendy was unwilling to let him know her real situation, so he felt sorrier for her.
“This weekend. I want to treat you to a meal. Do you have time?”
Wendy was so sleepy that she fell asleep with the phone in her hand. Before she fell asleep, she mumbled something. Halsey thought that she said yes, so he said happily, “Okay, I’ll book a table now.”
After Halsey hung up the phone, Wendy fell asleep immediately. She was completely unaware that her word would bring a disaster.
