Chapter 528
He regretted asking the question almost as soon as it left his mouth.
After all, he more or less knew Wendy’s reasons.
Between women, it was always about the same kind of drama, especially with Wendy–he could guess where it stemmed from.
But when it came to Judy, Kenneth was genuinely puzzled.
“Actually, I know Judy because of Aurora and Judy’s current boyfriend. There used to be something between them, so the two women ended up in a bit of a rivalry.”
Kenneth was stunned.
He hadn’t expected that Lucas‘ wife might have a past that wasn’t exactly spotless.”
She’d actually been involved in something like that?
He had always assumed someone chosen by Lacas would be spotless.
But apparently, there was a history there.
The thought genuinely surprised him
“Why are you smiling, bro?”
Wendy gave him a confused look, not understanding why he suddenly had that goofy grin on his face like he’d lost a few brain cells.
Snapped out of it by her voice, Kenneth quickly covered up.
“Oh, nothing I wasn’t thinking anything. Just… surprised, that’s all.”
Wendy immediately understood what he meant.

Wendy noticed his good mood and, thinking of the Shaves family’s future, spoke up to remind him, “Bro, we’re
e going to visit a patient. You might want to wipe that gris ull your face.
“You know how Lakey is about that woman. He’s still completely smitten. I’d suggest you don’t step on a landmine today.”
Kenneth realized she had a point and straightened up slightly, focusing on parking the car properly.
“Alright, I get it. We’re at the hospital. Let’s get out.
Wendy pouted but sal
said nothing more.
Since her brother had made the decision to apologize, she wouldn’t argur.
There wasn’t anything else to worry about. All she had to do was quietly follow his lead
Kenneth grabbed a few items and gestured toward the rest in the car. “Why are you just standing there? Co grab the rest.
Wendy gave a reluctant “Okay,” but looking at all the things they’d bought for Aurora, she felt a stab of resentment,
Why did that woman get everything–not just the man she loved, but now even her brother was trying to please her?
