On the ride home from the hotel, tears rolled down Wyneth's cheeks nonstop. This time, though, she was not alone by the car window. She was nestled in Hayden's arms. He wiped away each tear, comforting her all the way."Don't cry. It's just a mix-up, okay? He said he's fine and will be around for a long time," Hayden whispered.Despite his soothing words, Wyneth's tears did not cease. Seeing this, Hayden, filled with concern, gently asked, "Is this not what you wanted?"Confused, Wyneth looked up. "What are you talking about? I'm beyond happy he's alive."Hayden smiled, gently wiping her eyes. "Then why are you still crying?""I'm crying because..." Wyneth bit her lower lip, with Hector's words echoing in her mind.She had always been upset, believing her father had not wanted her years ago. But just as she was about to leave, Cindy pulled her aside. "Wyneth," her mother said gently, "your dad did want you. When I divorced him, I had just one demand.""What was it?""I wanted o
"I heard," Hayden sighed, thinking she might tell him not to touch her."What do you think?" Wyneth asked."Me?" A small smile formed on Hayden's lips as he gently kissed her. "It's whatever you want."Wyneth's eyes sparkled. "So, you'll listen to me?"Hayden hesitated. "Except...""What?" Wyneth's tone shifted to annoyance. "You aren't backing out, right? You just said it's up to me.""It's not that I'm backing out," Hayden said, "I just have one condition. I'll listen to you any other time, but there's one thing I can't do.""What thing?" Wyneth asked.Hayden leaned in and whispered in her ear. Wyneth's face turned a shade of pink, and she pushed him away, gasping."You're such a creep!" she exclaimed.Hayden took her wrist, drawing her close and kissed her earlobe. "What's the matter? Isn't this okay for us? Don't you think so?" As he kissed her, he began to unbutton her collar. His voice was low and smooth. "Just listen to me this one time. For everything else, whatever y
When Wyneth Walford came out of the kitchen with a tray in her hands, she suddenly saw another woman sitting at the dining table with her husband, Hayden Hamilton.The woman was dressed in a stunning manner, sitting beside Wyneth's husband, Hayden Hamilton, with a gentle expression on her face."Wyneth! What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and bring the food over!" Matilda Mann, Wyneth's mother-in-law, yelled at her before Wyneth could react. Wyneth hurriedly carried the tray over and placed the food on the table."Oh?" The beautiful woman looked at Wyneth in surprise and said, "Mrs. Hamilton, why did you hire such a young maid?"'A maid?' Wyneth's hand trembled as she looked at the woman. When she opened her mouth to explain, Matilda interrupted her. "Gigi, not everyone is as outstanding and hardworking as you.""Oh, please don't flatter me, Mrs. Hamilton," Gigi replied humbly, her hand unconsciously flicking her hair as her eyes darted toward Hayden, who sat
"Let's get a divorce."The air in the study seemed to freeze in an instant.Nathan Zach, Hayden's lawyer, had been trying to act like he was invisible since Wyneth arrived to question Hayden. She was in a bath towel, so he did not dare to look at her and kept his head down. But when he heard what Wyneth said, he looked up suddenly and stared at her in disbelief, then turned to look at Hayden.Hayden frowned, his look a mixture of emotions. It was clear he was not anticipating Wyneth to bring up the topic of their divorce.After hesitating for a long time, Hayden asked her, "Are you sure?""I'm sure," Wyneth replied."No regrets?"From the moment she mentioned divorce, Wyneth suddenly felt relieved. The giant boulder that had been weighing on her heart all this time had disappeared. She smiled slightly, "I have no regrets."There was silence in the room again.It took a while before Hayden finally spoke up in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll have my lawyer draw up an agreement for the
As soon as Amelia Watson, Wyneth's best friend, got the call from Wyneth about the divorce, she rushed over in her car. But to her surprise, the moment she parked her car, a bunch of fancy cars, including a Pagani and a Rolls-Royce, pulled up behind her and surrounded her.Amelia was so scared that she instinctively grabbed onto the steering wheel and trembled. Then she called Wyneth while burying her face in the steering wheel like a coward."W-Wyneth... Did you tell anyone else about your divorce besides me?"Wyneth looked at the gate not far away and nodded. "My brother just happened to call me, so I mentioned it. Why do you ask?"Amelia cautiously looked out the window and nervously licked her lips before she said, "N-Nothing... It's just that there's a lot of cars today."Fortunately, Riverview Gardens was an upscale neighborhood with a large entrance, or else how could so many cars fit in?After their conversation, Wyneth thought Amelia was referring to the traffic and did
"Wyn, we threw a divorce celebration party for you," said Dean Spencer, Wyneth's fourth brother. He then looked at his wristwatch and clicked his tongue in disapproval. "Andrew is too slow. Give him a call and tell him to change his route. Let's go." Dean then extended his hand to Wyneth. "Wyn, let's go. I'll drive you."Elon Spencer, Wyneth's fifth brother, pushed his glasses up and smiled enigmatically. "Why don't I drive you instead?""Hey, your driving skills are terrible," Caleb Spencer, Wyneth's third brother, immediately criticized the other two. He then spoke to Wyneth, "Wyn, it's safer to ride in my car."Wyneth thought to herself, "Here they go again." She felt a headache coming on and quickly spoke before anyone else could. "I'll ride in Amy's car."The five Spencer brothers fell silent, not wanting to compete with a young girl."Let's go."Wyneth took Amelia's arm and turned away. As she reached for the passenger door, Amelia nudged her in the waist. "Um, Wyneth, coul
The maid looked perplexed as she asked, "Sir, don't you know? Didn't you agree to it yourself?"Hayden pursed his lips and silently said to himself, 'Mom said she was going to have the maids prepare the room next to mine for Gigi to stay in during lunch. The Kanes and the Hamiltons have been friends for ages, so I didn't really mind. I mean, I wouldn't even care which room she would stay. But I never thought... the room next to mine is Wyneth's room. No wonder she ran to the study wearing just a towel, not caring about her image when she asked me about it. No wonder she repeatedly wanted confirmation from me.'"Sir?" The maid attempted to console Hayden as she noticed the unpleasant look on his face. "Wyneth won't leave you like this. Plus, she doesn't really have any other place to go. She likes you so much that she will do anything for you. I'm pretty sure she'll be back tomorrow morning, or maybe even in the middle of the night— "Hayden cut her off. "Who lives on the third floor
Wyneth's pretty eyelashes drooped down. She calmly said, "I want to be alone.""But Wyn..."Wyneth did not bother to listen to what they wanting to say. Instead, she pulled the blanket over her head.The five of them exchanged looks, all seeing the sense of resignation in the others' eyes. After a few seconds, they left the room one by one."Wyn is probably still sad, huh?" Andrew Spencer sighed."Hayden must be blind! How could he treat my little sister like that? I need to give him a piece of my mind," cursed Wyneth's most immature brother, Dean, his face full of indignation.Caleb quickly intervened upon hearing it, "Don't even think about it. Wyn was deeply devoted to him. If you try to harm him, Wyn will fight you with everything she's got.""Well, she might have cherished him in the past, but who knows now? They did get divorced after all.""They may be divorced, but Wyn is still feeling hurt," Elon pushed up his glasses. His words hit the nail on the head.Dean was mome
