Wendy blinked, pointing at herself. "Wait you think I'm seeing someone else?"

Genuinely stunned that Julian's mind had gone there, she almost laughed but his expression stayed dead serious, no hint of a joke anywhere in it. She cleared her throat instead. "I'm not seeing anyone. I'm not going to, either, not while this arrangement is in place."

She held his gaze, earnest, letting the sincerity speak for itself.

Julian went quiet for a moment, then said plainly, "I saw you chasing after someone.

    A bonfire party.Wendy studied the photos in the guide. A crowd danced around a warm orange fire, faces lit with smiles. Just from the pictures, she could feel how wonderful the atmosphere would be.It was exactly her kind of thing.It resembled a barbecue, but she didn't actually enjoy barbecues especially the ones where half the men took their shirts off. Just seeing it killed her appetite.A bonfire party served grilled food too, but its real draw was singing and dancing, everyone setting aside their worries to talk and sing together."Will Sophie be going with us?" she asked."She's coming too," Julian said. "You don't need to worry about what I might do."Wendy laughed. She wasn't worried about that if he'd wanted to do anything, he'd have done it long ago. Her mind had just gone to Sophie by reflex. She'd come here to see Sophie, not to have fun.The bonfire party was being held that night in the suburbs. Most attendees were students; very few adults went.Adults who'd been befo

  • Divorced, Then Married His Rival   Chapter 98: She'd Be So Lonely Alone in the Dorm

    Wendy listened to Sophie's twisted logic, laughed, and shook her head, not taking it seriously.Sophie had called her brother over without saying a word.Wendy pulled the two of them aside, out of everyone's sight."Are you going back tonight?" she asked Julian.He didn't answer. Instead: "Do you want me to?"She hesitated. "I don't know. You've got work tomorrow, don't you? If you stay out tonight, you might be late.""It's fine to be late."She was torn. Selfishly, she wanted him to stay but her head told her not to push, that this was his decision to make.Seeing her silence, Sophie piped up. "Brother, that's a silly question. Obviously she wants you to stay. Otherwise she'll be so lonely in the dorm all by herself."Wendy stared at her. Weren't they supposed to share a bed tonight? How had she suddenly become alone?"Brother, you don't have to act coy. If you want to stay, stay. Or do you need her to say it herself?"Sophie didn't give either of them room to answer. "Don't hold ba

    Wendy had only been joking. A piano was far too large to haul out to the sports field.Sophie, though, agreed immediately. Wendy hurriedly waved her off. "No, that'd draw way too much attention."Sophie pouted. "But I want to hear it.""Then I'll play for you in a classroom.""No I want to hear it on the field."Sophie wasn't normally this unreasonable, and her persistence put Wendy in a bind. She'd happily grant any small request Sophie made but a piano was just too much.Wendy thought for a moment. "I could play the zither instead.""You play zither, sister-in-law?" Sophie lit up. "That works too! I'll arrange it."Sophie made a call, and the two of them wandered the field, chatting.Sophie was deeply curious about the story between Wendy and Julian, and Wendy, having nothing to say on the subject, tried to redirect. "Sophie, pick a different topic.""Any topic?""Sure as long as we're done talking about your brother."She worried that saying too much would expose the truth about t

  • Divorced, Then Married His Rival   Chapter 96: I Can Put Whoever I Want at the Front

    Sophie froze, then asked, awkward, "Why are you asking that all of a sudden?""You're old enough that having someone wouldn't be strange. If you do, there's no need to feel shy. If you ever run into trouble, you can tell us."Sophie looked down at the table. "Not yet. When I do, I'll tell you.""Okay. You'd better be the first to tell me."Sophie spent the whole day with Wendy, though she kept checking her phone every so often.Seeing Wendy's puzzled look, she explained, "Class group chat. There's an activity coming up and everyone's discussing it."Wendy nodded, understanding, and didn't ask further.Sophie had a class in the afternoon. "Sister-in-law, go rest at the guest room. I'll come find you after.""Can I sit in on it?"Sophie nodded. "Sure.""Then I'll come with you."Sophie paused, then smiled. "Okay."It wasn't a major course, just a general-requirement class. The lecture hall was huge and packed. The professor launched into the lecture the instant he walked in, no roll cal

    "What are you doing here?""I came to see Sophie," Wendy said.Brandon looked confused. "Why didn't she come pick you up? Did she know you were coming?""No, it's a surprise," Wendy said, smiling. "Can you get me in?"Brandon nodded and quickly spoke to the security guard. The guard looked over Brandon's ID. "Visitors need to be out by night. Anyone who wants to stay overnight needs approval from the school.""Understood. Thanks, sir."The two bodyguards followed them in too. They had to leave their company and personal information at the gate otherwise, with their size and build, the guard wouldn't have let them through so easily.Campus security was responsible for keeping students safe. If a dangerous person slipped in, that guard would carry the guilt for life.The guard read the details the bodyguards left, saw they were both veterans, and asked no further questions.Wendy and Brandon walked ahead. "Want to go find her now?" Brandon asked. "She's in the library.""At the reading

    Wendy wanted to tell Julian how unlikely something like this was to happen again but she didn't realize it was the first time she'd seen him, normally so composed, genuinely rattled.She pulled back slightly and said with a smile, "Didn't I say I'd learn self-defense? I'm free lately. I'll go sign up for a class."His expression eased a little. "No need to sign up. I'll have an instructor come to you. You and Sophie can train together.""Sure. Does Sophie have the time?""You haven't been in touch with her lately?"Wendy shook her head. "Not in a while."The last time they'd spoken was when Julian had been withdrawn and tight-lipped, and Wendy had gone to Sophie for advice.Before that, Sophie had always been the one to reach out first. Wendy had been busy lately and hadn't gone looking for her, and Sophie hadn't contacted her either, so naturally they'd drifted out of touch."It's late. I'll talk to her tomorrow.""Okay. Get some sleep."The next day, on her way to the hospital, Wend
