My Dad Please C154 Chapter 154 Stanley's voice was low and tense. "The herbal recipe you left for Grandma has gone missing." So that was what this was about.
Wendy immediately grabbed a pen. "Just wait a second. I'll write it down for you." She bent her head and began to scribble the recipe on a piece of paper.
As she did, her white camisole shifted slightly, revealing the soft curve of her figure, the fullness of her chest. Stanley's throat tightened. He already knew she was beautiful in more ways than one, but this-her slender waist, the way her curves gently flared out-was enough to stir the deepest parts of a man. It was all part of her allure. It was natural.
"Wendy!" Stanley's voice was thick with barely contained tension.
Wendy looked up, confused. "What's wrong?" She seemed so innocent, with those bright, clear eyes, so pure and unaware.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe way she looked at him, oblivious to the effect she had on him, only stoked the fire within.
12 Stanley swallowed hard and spoke again, his voice strained, "When you're done, take a picture and send it to me." Wendy nodded, absent-mindedly thinking he, as a busy man, probably didn't have tto wait for her to finish writing.
"Okay, then, I'll hang up now. Go on back to work." Seeing there was no reply from Stanley, she was about to end the video call when suddenly, Halsey burst into the room, holding an ice cream cone in each hand.
"Wendy, here, I got you a vanilla ice cream!" Halsey grinned, handing one of the cones to Wendy as she enjoyed hers.
The ice cream had started to melt a little, and Wendy quickly reached out to take it.
"It's starting to melt! Wendy, hurry and lick it. I got it from the convenience store. It's so sweet!" Halsey urged. Wendy eagerly licked the melting ice cream. The rich vanilla flavor spread across her tongue, and she smiled, eyes sparkling. "Mmm, it's so sweet." The girls laughed together, two sweet tooths enjoying the moment.
Halsey noticed Stanley on the video call and waved cheerfully. "Hello, Mr. Hawk!" Stanley glanced at Halsey, then turned his gaze back to Wendy, who was happily licking her ice cream. She was sticking out her tongue just a little, savoring the sweetness like a child.
Stanley couldn't help but think that it seemed like she could be so easily won over with something as simple as ice cream.
She was so easy to please.
His throat tightened, the sensation burning hot as if a flwas smoldering inside him. "Is the ice cream really that good?" Chapter 154 Wendy looked up at him, Her smile still bright. "Yeah, it's really sweet." It was clear she had a thing for sweet treats.
Candy, milkshakes, ice cream-she loved them all.

Halsey, clearly in a playful mood, teased her. "Wendy, Mr. Hawk helped you with Paul's situation. Is this video chat because you're thinking about how you're going to repay him?" At the mention of repayment, Wendy's fingers froze for a moment, her eyes flicking up to Stanley.
He had been watching her the entire time.
At first, she hadn't noticed the change in his gaze, but now she saw it.
He hadn't stopped looking at her as she ate her ice cream. His eyes were dark and intense, while something simmered beneath the surface.
Wendy knew what that look meant. She had seen him like this before. He was usually so poised and elegant, as if thinking of him in a sexual manner would be an insult to him.
But Wendy knew how under that facade was something raw something much more dangerous that would cout at night. He was a man who controlled his desires, but even someone like him had needs, and he wanted them satisfied. She had witnessed that side of him.
Wendy, still with her hair in a messy bun, her delicate face flushed a soft pink, felt her pulse quicken. She held the ice cream cone with both hands and extended it toward him her voice a little hesitant. "Do you want sof this?"
