    Chapter 3 Why Are You Wearing


    Her Dress?


    Joe wasn’t expecting Wendy to be at his home.


    And more than that… she was wearing Mia’s dress.


    The white strapless dress didn’t fit Wendy’s curvy figure, and her breasts were spilling out the top. But


    she hugged Joe as if she didn’t notice it at all.


    “What’s the matter? Aren’t you happy to see me?” Wendy asked flirtatiously. She ced her fingers on


    the back of Joe’s neck and caressed his skin.


    Joe pushed her away, frowning. “Who let you in? And why are you wearing Mia’s clothes?”


    Wendy’s smile faltered for a moment. But she quicklyposed herself and yed coy.


    “The maid Emma let me in. I identally spilled coffee on myself when I got here. I’m just borrowing


    one of Mia’s dresses. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind, right?”


    “Where is Mia?”


    Back when Joe identally brought Wendy’s lipsticks back home, Mia was furious and even told Sir


    Smith about it. So, Joe


    found it hard to believe that Mia would lend her dress to Wendy.


    “How should I know? She wasn’t here when I arrived,” Wendy replied.


    Her eyes lowered slightly as she continued to move closer to Joe and lean in to kiss him.


    An image of Mia wearing the same dress shed in Joe’s mind, and he avoided Wendy’s hand.


    “Joe?”


    “Don’t wear her clothes anymore,” Joe spat, “They don’t suit

    you.”


    Wendy wanted to say something else, but he cut her off, “You should go home now. I’ll see you tonight


    at the Mystery Club.”


    Wendy was surprised that Joe would remain indisserent even when she seduced him that way.


    But realizing that she had to maintain the “good girl” image in front of him, Wendy had no choice but to


    nod andply. Before leaving, she made sure Joe saw the heart-shaped birthmark on her arm.


    Joe immediately softened his expression.


    Seeing that, Wendy turned to leave, hiding her smirk.


    The strong scent of Wendy’s perfume filled the vi,


    overpowering the air. Joe’s face slightly darkened as he headed upstairs.


    In the master bedroom, the bed covers were messy, and he didn’t see the divorce agreement he had


    carelessly thrown on the floor yesterday. Joe nced around casually, scoffed, and went into the


    dressing room.


    He noticed that the wardrobe was packed full. Mia’s clothes were still there. Wendy had just taken one


    of her dresses.


    He felt smug, believing that Mia was just bluffing when she proposed a divorce.


    Joe left the master bedroom after changing his clothes.


    He left in such a hurry that he didn’t notice the bank card and divorce papers that had fallen to the floor.


    ***


    At the Mystery Club


    Under the colorful lights, Joe lounged on a sofa, surrounded by sting music. Wendy, dressed in a


    fiery red and revealing dress, leaned against him. And she epted all thepliments of those


    around them.


    They were ying a game of Spin the Bottle. Someone spun a bottle on the table, and it ended up


    pointing at Joe.


    Joe’s acquaintance John grinned mischievously. He was ready


    ”


    to lease Joe, but one look in his eyes was warning enough.


    John shuddered and opted for a safer question. “Joc… How did you meet Wendy?”


    Wendy gazed at him. Joe picked up a ss of beer and drained it. He then replied with tenderness in


    his eyes, “Wendy saved my life.”


    “She did?!”


    Everyone was shocked, except Wendy, who was smiling as she gently leaned against Joe.


    Twenty years ago, Joe and a little girl were kidnapped.


    They kept each otherpany for a few days until Joe found a chance to escape, leaving the little girl


    behind. Before escaping, he promised her that he woulde back and rescue her.


    However, things didn’t go as nned. By the time he came back with a rescue team, the girl had


    disappeared, and the kidnappers were gone.


    All he remembered was the heart-shaped birthmark on her arm.


    In those dark days, Joe didn’t lose hope because of that girl. From then on, he kept looking for her until


    he stumbled upon Wendy singing at a bar. The heart-shaped birthmark on her arm reminded him of the


    girl.


    Joe was already engaged to Mia at that time. But he married Mia


    in the end.


    Thinking of Mia, Joe’s face darkened again.


    Suddenly, his other acquaintance Lucas cursed, holding his phone in his hand.


    “What’s going on?” John asked.


    “My friend ran into Miss White at the airport.”


    “Who?” Joe was puzzled, frowning.


    “Mia White.”


    Hearing that, Joe’s face turned even grimmer. He asked, “What


    is she doing at the airport?”
