They were so close that they could feel each other's breath. Wyneth could even discern the scent of cedar on him, cold yet profound. His handsome face was inches away from her own, so close that a slight forward lean would allow their lips to meet.Suddenly, Wyneth came back to her senses. She recoiled a few inches, distancing herself from Hayden. "What are you doing?"Hayden remained expressionless, his gaze focused on her lips. "Your makeup is smeared."'Makeup smeared?' Wyneth remembered taking off her mask after she got in the car. Wearing it all the way in the terminal and on the plane had been suffocating. 'Yes, the world is indeed more beautiful without a mask. Wait, when did I put on makeup?'Wyneth quickly fished a cushion compact out of her bag for touch-ups. Looking into the small mirror, she noticed her lipstick was smeared, the color spreading from the corners of her mouth. She remembered applying lipstick before leaving the house; she intended to go for a daily light

When he did not see her, he managed. But when he actually encountered her and witnessed her icy indifference, it was a cold reality he was not accustomed to. 'How can someone wear two different masks? When she's drunk, she...'"Serendora Archipelago?" Wyneth furrowed her brow. "A trip to Serendora Archipelago would take days. I don't have that kind of time."Finn was at a loss. "Why not?""I'm joining the cast of Cessation in a few days.""That soon?"She nodded. "Yes. So, you go to Serendora Archipelago alone.""But what's the point of me going if you're not there? I'll cancel it. Since your vacation is short, let's choose somewhere closer. I'll come get you now."Wyneth quieted for a moment before speaking in a soft voice, "I'm not in Frecford right now.""Not in Frecford? Where are you then?"Seeing the car had already stopped, Wyneth did not feel like explaining in detail. "I'm out with a friend. I'll call you back when I'm free," she said, and without waiting for Finn's r

The driver glanced back at Hayden, whose face was clouded over. Hayden sat for a moment, then with a stern face, he exited the car.After both passengers had left, the driver finally rolled down the window and took several deep breaths. He had thought Hayden was intimidating enough, but with the addition of Wyneth, he felt his heart might give out from sheer fright.Within the Hamilton residence, Samantha had been standing by the door as soon as she heard that Hayden and Wyneth were coming over. The sight of Wyneth stepping out of the car brought a delighted expression to her face."Ms. Walford."Hearing this address made Wyneth pause. Remembering that she was still pretending to be a couple with Hayden in front of his grandfather, she softly instructed Samantha, "While we're at the Hamilton residence, it's probably best if you call me Mrs. Hamilton."Samantha glanced at Hayden, who had followed Wyneth out of the car, and nodded in understanding. "Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton Sr.

With an implied meaning for Hayden to promptly ascend the stairs and not loiter around, disrupting the scene, Gwendolyn's gaze settled on him. Hayden, reading her expression and receiving no further acknowledgment from Wyneth, stood in silence for a moment before finally moving toward the staircase. "I'll go fetch Grandpa," he said.Once Hayden was out of sight, Gwendolyn, once again, tenderly took hold of Wyneth's hand. "You've got a lot on your plate," she murmured. She had been under the impression, after Wyneth's last visit, that the likelihood of seeing her again in this lifetime was remote. And yet, life had thrown them a curveball. Though she was not privy to all the details, the current state of this young couple spoke volumes. Gwendolyn, astute as she was, did not need further hints to infer the reality."No such thing," Wyneth countered softly."But in fact...""Grandma," Wyneth interrupted her gently, shaking her head in assurance. "It's alright, I'm still young."Her w

While Benedict read Hayden the riot act, Wyneth played the role of an unobservant bystander, a trace of malicious glee lurking in her heart. 'He's always so aloof and arrogant. It's about time his grandpa gave him a piece of his mind.'Hayden stood tall, bearing the brunt of the verbal onslaught without flinching. After a long while, he finally lifted his gaze, his eyes briefly dancing over Wyneth's somewhat gleeful face before speaking, "Grandpa, you're right. Next time, I promise to visit the set more often. Speaking of which, didn't you want to visit the set yourself? This could be a good chance to accompany her to Frecford."Wyneth, previously delighting in Hayden's misfortune, blurted out, "Huh?" She glanced at Hayden, meeting his icy stare. 'He did that on purpose, didn't he? He knows I don't want others to know about our relationship, yet he deliberately said those words.'Benedict nodded. "A sound idea. When will you be heading back, Wyneth? I have some free time on my hands

"Time to dig in."Knowing their flight details beforehand, the cook had the ingredients ready in advance and began preparing the meal when they were close to arriving at the mansion. By now, dinner was ready."Come on, let's get some grub."Benedict, for all his chattiness, embodied the air of a traditional gentleman at the dining table. The meal was enjoyed in quiet dignity, with everyone focused on their own plates. Wyneth found herself seated next to Hayden, with Benedict and Gwendolyn across from them. The room was filled with the comfortable silence of a shared meal. Then, out of nowhere, a chicken drumstick found its way onto Wyneth's plate. She glanced up, only to realize it was the cool, dashing man beside her who had passed it.Wyneth stared blankly at Hayden. 'What's he up to? Serving me a chicken drumstick out of the blue?'As she turned to look at him, Hayden parted his lips slightly. "You're too thin. You should eat more meat."'Is he playing house in front of his gr

Then, in full view of Benedict and Gwendolyn, he took a bite of the dessert from Wyneth's spoon. "Tastes good."Wyneth sat frozen, still ensnared in Hayden's icy aura. After a long moment, she finally found her voice. "You like it? Want the rest of it?""Sure." Hayden accepted the spoon from her hands."You rascal." Benedict's voice was rough as he scowled from across the table. "Don't you have your own? Why are you hogging Wyneth's dessert?"With that, Hayden pushed his untouched fruit platter toward Wyneth. "You eat mine."Hayden was not fond of sweets, so his family always prepared a platter of delicate, unsweetened fruit pieces for him, accompanied by a small fork and knife. He usually would not partake, but Gwendolyn insisted on keeping fruit on his plate. He did not visit often due to work, so he would just let it slide.Wyneth eyed the platter of fruits silently. She was not sure, but she felt like Hayden was doing this for her. He did not like sweets either. She recalled

"Let's go," Hayden said.Wyneth paused, gazing at the slender, pristine hand with prominent joints. Then, she glanced at Benedict, who was expectantly watching them. Left without a choice, she resigned herself and placed her hand in Hayden's. As soon as their skin met, Hayden grasped her hand tightly, pulling her up from her seat. A warmth spread through her from the contact. His palm was both warm and dry.Witnessing this, Benedict's gratified smile broadened. "Off you go now." Then, he and Gwendolyn watched as Hayden led Wyneth upstairs by the hand. Benedict was clearly pleased. As soon as the pair disappeared around the corner, he said, "Well done, very well done."Upon hearing his approval, Gwendolyn by his side shot him a glance, shaking her head.As soon as they were around the corner, Wyneth pulled her hand away. Initially, Hayden's grip was tight, but after a moment, he loosened his hold. The smile on Wyneth's face faded, her expression hardening in Hayden's presence. "It s

"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..." 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

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

In the end, Wyneth decided to stay. She could see the honesty in Matilda's words and knew she was sincere. Recognizing Matilda as not her birth mother made Wyneth realize she should not hold her to the same expectations. With acceptance, she focused on building her future with Hayden, freeing herself from doubts and reservations.With Wyneth's decision to stay, Matilda's heart swelled with joy and immense honor. Realizing Wyneth's sincere intentions, not merely chasing the Hamilton family's wealth, transformed their relationship. Matilda's newfound warmth toward her was evident. Gifts, once withheld, now freely flowed into Wyneth's room. At auctions, Matilda eagerly bid on items for Wyneth. During jewelry store visits, Matilda generously bought her gifts, swiping her credit card without hesitation, and welcoming her nearly as a daughter.Wyneth received a call from her mother. Even after so many years, her mom, Cindy, was still bossy. "Your father isn't doing well. You should come to

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
