The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1396

Wendy offered a smile, took a deep breath, and said, “How can I not care, though? If people are influenced by these opinions, it means they’re accepting those views. But I’ll get through it…”

They were chatting as they walked when hearing Wendy’s words, Felix suddenly stopped. “What can I do to help? Wendy, don’t carry all this on your own. I want to help. I can’t stand seeing you strain like this.”

His earnest words, however, left Wendy feeling uncomfortable and pressured. “Felix…” She only said his name, but her voice filled with distance.

Felix quickly responded, “No, no… don’t get me wrong. We’re friends, right? And I’m about to get hitched…”

Wendy, surprised, asked, “To Elsa?”

Felix shook his head, “No…”

Wendy nodded thoughtfully, letting out a sigh of relief but also a pinch of regret. “Let’s celebrate then. It’s good news.”

“Sure.”

They agreed and then left the hospital together. But as soon as they stepped out, Wendy was stopped.

Feeling a strange sense of tension, Wendy took a couple of steps back. “What’s the matter?”

Nate simply replied, “Mr. Harper would like to see you.”
