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 in the main seat.

Hayden had piercing clear eyes and a cold demeanor, with jet-black hair and thin lips. His face bore a stern expression, with tightly pursed lips that seemed frozen in place. He remained fixated on his phone, completely oblivious to his surroundings.

Matilda wanted to send Wyneth away, fearing she would ruin things for her son. So as soon as Wyneth finished serving the dishes, "You don't need to be here. Just head back to the kitchen and continue your work."

"But..."

"But what?" Matilda's eyes narrowed.

Wyneth looked at her husband Hayden, wishing he would speak up for her, but he was too busy on his phone.

She could not help but think to herself, 'Great, on top of dealing with my overbearing mother-in-law who never showed me an ounce of kindness, now there's Gigi to deal with too.' She bit her lip and unwillingly turned to leave.

"Gigi, you've finally made it here. Why don't you stay here tonight?" said Matilda.

"Okay, Mrs. Hamilton. But where will I stay?" Gigi asked shyly, stealing a glance at Hayden.

"In the room next to Hayden's, of course," Matilda answered.

"Won't that be inconvenient?" Gigi asked.

"We're family. There's nothing inconvenient about it, right, Hayden?" Matilda asked.

Hayden remained unresponsive.

"Hayden!" Matilda raised her voice.

Finally, Hayden's attention was diverted from his phone. He looked at Matilda, who was clearly unhappy, and asked, "Yes?"

"I'm talking to you!"

"Sorry, I was just dealing with an urgent work matter," Hayden put away his phone and asked, "What's up?"

"Gigi is staying here tonight. Get someone to clean up the room next to yours later."

'The Kane family and the Hamilton family go way back. It's normal for their daughter to stay over.' With this in mind, Hayden nodded impassively and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Hayden."

Hayden then stood up. His voice was cold as he said, "I have to go back to the office later."

Matilda said, "The food is already served. Why don't you eat something before you go?"

"No. I have an urgent matter to attend to." With that, Hayden took his clothes and keys and left the dining room quickly.

Meanwhile, Wyneth did not go back to the kitchen. She went to her own room instead. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. 'Why didn't Hayden speak up for me? I worked hard to make dinner for him, and just because that woman came, he didn't even ask me to sit down?

'And that woman even thought I was a maid. Hayden didn't explain for me. Did he just agree with her opinion? Why did he have to agree with her opinion?' Countless questions arose at the same time, leaving Wyneth feeling extremely upset.

Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at her greasy hair and face that had not been taken care of. She also noticed that her eyes had lost their former luster. She was now wearing ordinary clothes and a yellow apron, no wonder anyone who saw her would mistake her for a maid.

Wyneth took a deep breath and entered the bathroom.

She spent several hours tidying herself up. She cleaned her face, exfoliated, applied a face mask, washed her hair, and took a bath. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw two maids changing the sheets on her bed.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

At the Hamilton family, Wyneth had no status. In the maids' eyes, she was just a woman who married Hayden when he was in vegetative state. They thought she was only interested in the Hamilton family's wealth.

Matilda did not care about Wyneth, and the maids would treat her with disdain. They would speak to her in a sarcastic tone.

"Wyneth, don't you know? The eldest daughter of the Kane family, Gigi Kane, is staying here tonight, so Madam asked us to clear out the room."

Wyneth stood stunned. She asked, "What do you mean?"

The two maids stopped their work and looked at her with glee. "It means you can scram."

Wyneth clenched her fists tightly and then released them. "Who told you to come here?"

"The young master."

"That's impossible!" Wyneth instinctively refuted, "This is my room, Hayden wouldn't do this to me."

"Madam has already informed the young master, and he agreed. He asked us to clean up when he came back from the company. You can ask him yourself!"

Wyneth took a step back and quickly ran out in a towel.

Hayden and his lawyer were in the study. "Sir, about the matter you mentioned last time regarding Young Madam's property..."

BANG!

The study door was pushed open forcefully. Hayden and his lawyer looked up to see Wyneth standing at the door, gasping for breath.

Wyneth's skin was as fair as snow after her shower, her wet hair dripping water down to her waist. The towel only covered her to mid-thigh, revealing her fair skin with a light sheen of water.

Hayden frowned upon seeing her. "What are you—"

But Wyneth interrupted him, out of breath. "I heard they said Gigi is going to stay over tonight."

'Gigi?' Hayden nodded and replied, "Yes."

"And she will sleep in the room next to yours?"

Hayden was not interested in where Gigi was sleeping. His focus was on why she came running over in just a bath towel. 'Doesn't she feel awkward talking like this?'

Seeing him not responding, Wyneth bit her lip and looked directly at Hayden, trying to confirm with him, "Is it?"

Hayden said with a nod, "Yeah."

Wyneth froze. She was hurt so much that it felt like someone had punched a hole in her heart. She had the urge to yell at him, 'Hayden, do you know that the room next to yours is mine? Why are you giving my room to another woman?'

But she could not help feeling that it would make her look ridiculous if she did. She thought to herself, 'Come on, he's been awake for so long, he must know that room is mine. He just agreed so easily, probably because he doesn't care about me, doesn't like me, and certainly doesn't love me.

'He's the man I have loved for a decade. Despite his vegetative state, I married him without hesitation. But in the end, I meant nothing to him.

'Yeah. You can't just magically start loving someone out of nowhere. It's like, if it's not there, it's not there. I guess I've forced it on him all these years.'

Wyneth suddenly felt foolish, realizing that she had wasted her youth and genuine emotions on a man who did not reciprocate her love.

'In that case...' Wyneth closed her eyes and said, "Hayden, let's get a divorce."

    "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.

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

The present is the best time. But you signed the contract so quickly. Aren't you worried about being tricked?"Wyneth let out a soft and melodic smile.

    As Jake laid eyes on Wyneth, memories flooded back of the time when Hayden had been in a vegetative state for three years following a car accident.During that time, Hayden had been in a deep slumber, and Hayden's grandfather, Benedict Hamilton, who believed in oriental mystic arts, sought the advice of a monk he had met before to learn about Hayden's fortune.

    "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

    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..."

    Everyone was silent. Just before entering the private dining room, Wyneth blurted out, "Is he really dying?" Hearing this, Andrew's steps halted. Before he could answer, she added, "How long does he have? Why didn't anyone say anything before?"Andrew sighed and turned around. "Is that why you're here?" Wyneth pursed her lips. A wave of uncertainty washed over Andrew. 'This mom and daughter,' he thought, 'they're here because they got it all wrong. Mom is acting differently toward Dad, too. She was all tough before, but now she's gone soft, probably thinks Dad is dying. And Dad? He's just laughing, like he's having a good time with all this mess.' Andrew hesitated, then said, "Let's talk inside." He chose to hold his words for now.Hayden and Wyneth walked into the private dining room. Cindy was passing dishes to Hector. As they entered, every pair of eyes turned their way. A divorced couple and six sons stared at Hayden. Used to the predictable world of leadership, Hayden now ventur

    Just at that moment, a knock sounded from outside."Sir, your mother is back," someone said.Hayden could feel the person in his arms stiffen, her body tensed. "Don't worry, I'm right here," he reassured her softly."Your mother heard that Ms. Walford is here. She wants to see her," the voice from outside continued.'Meet me?' Wyneth bit her lower lip lightly. 'Why does she want to see me? To insult me again?'"She hasn't eaten yet. She can meet her after eating," Hayden said, gently turning down the request for Wyneth. Outside, everything fell silent."Won't this offend your mom?" Wyneth's voice filled with concern as she asked.Hayden looked at Wyneth, pausing for a moment before speaking. "I know she's been mean to you," he said. Wyneth's eyes widened in surprise. "I'm sorry." He bent down and lightly kissed her forehead. "You've been treated unfairly." Seeing her blink, he added, "Let's eat first. After that, I'll go with you."Wyneth was a bit nervous, but not as anxious a

    Hector was speechless as Cindy mistakenly thought he was ill. Seeing her worried face, he felt the misunderstanding might not be so terrible. He shared a look with Andrew. His eldest son caught on immediately, giving a subtle head shake. Understanding the signal not to mislead Cindy any further, Hector hesitated before gently asking, "Can I see her? Even just a glance?" It had been many years since he last saw his daughter up close, and she had not called him "Dad" in all that time.Cindy, lost in thought, stared at Hector before finally nodding as if admitting defeat. "Fine, I'll call her."Later, Wyneth fell asleep. Upon waking, she found herself on the large bed in Hayden's bedroom. She saw Hayden sitting at the sofa, busy with a computer.Hearing her movement, Hayden immediately got up and walked toward her. "Awake? Thirsty or hungry? Want something to eat first?"Having slept through lunch, Wyneth was hungry, so she nodded. "Sure."After Hayden left to give some instructions,

    'He shifts moods so fast,' Wyneth thought as she stared at her unattended ringing phone.Observing her delay, Hayden asked, "What's going on?"In his mind, a thought flickered, 'She seems reluctant to take the call. Perhaps there's tension with her eldest brother?'"He's calling now; must be about him," Wyneth whispered."About your dad?"They had decided to be together, and Wyneth did not hide anything from him. "Yeah, my dad."Hayden did not utter a single word."I don't like him," Wyneth softly said, staring at her ringing phone. "Answer it for me and say I'm asleep," she whispered to Hayden as she cozied up to him. Without a word, Hayden picked up the phone and conveyed the message before ending the call.After ending the call, a curious Hector asked, "Well? Where is she?"Understanding the situation, Andrew said, "She didn't answer the phone; she's asleep."Despite hearing the words, Hector felt something was off. He sighed, "She really doesn't like me.""Don't worry, D

    "Trouble recognizing faces? What do you mean?" Hector Spencer asked.Andrew sighed. "Dad, he's Wyneth's ex-husband."Hector's eyes widened in surprise. "He is? No wonder I didn't recognize him. I must've barely seen him before.""Is that what's bothering you?" Andrew asked."What else would it be?" Hector replied, still taken aback.Andrew sighed. His dad, Hector, was good at many things and never stayed mad at people. But there was one funny thing about him: he could never remember faces of people outside their family. "You don't mind?" Andrew asked.Smiling, Hector replied, "Mind what? She's told everyone, so she must be ready. I've never been the dad she favored. If I object now, won't she dislike me even more?"Andrew was left speechless by this. He had not expected Hector to have no objections. "Seems like someone doesn't need your approval."Changing the topic, Hector asked, "What about your mom? Is she back?" He had been living alone for many years.Andrew exhaled. "I t
