Wyneth knew that she had gone too far by saying that. Perhaps Hayden had made her too angry earlier.Hayden laughed with a hint of anger as he said while gritting his teeth."You can take my sofa away from me too if you wish. I'll just sleep on the floor, okay?"Wyneth was left speechless.'Whatever. I don't have the energy to deal with him anymore.'Wyneth looked away from him and got back into the bed. She was exhausted and she had only woken up because Hayden interrupted her sleep. Very soon, Wyneth drifted back into her dreams.However, Hayden did not close his eyes again. Instead, he lay there and stared blankly at the white ceiling.Wyneth was woken up by a phone call. It was already dark outside and the room was pitch black.She could not see anything, so she did not know if Hayden was still in the room. She picked up her phone and answered the call."Hello?"Wyneth's voice was still sleepy."Hello, am I speaking to Ms. Walford?"An unfamiliar woman's voice came from
'If it's so important to her, why would she treat it like this? She didn't even take it when she left and just forgot about it like that. I can't believe that she couldn't even remember it when someone asked her about it.'Wyneth stood there as her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness. Then, she saw Hayden sitting on the sofa facing her. He was staring at her in the dark.Wyneth replied softly after remaining quiet for a while, "It is very important.""Why didn't you take it with you then?"'Does she know how much effort I spent just to get it for her?'Wyneth sighed after hearing that question and said slowly, "The protective charm is very important to me, but you still lost it, didn't you?"Hayden kept quiet.She continued speaking. "I know you paid a high price for the protective charm, so it might be very valuable to you. However, for me, it's worthless."It was not the same protective charm that Wyneth used to have, so it would mean nothing to her no matter how expensiv
'This protective charm...'"Wyneth, what's up with this protective charm? It looks pretty expensive; how could you forget to take it home with you? I can't believe it. Thankfully, this hotel isn't the sketchy sort. Otherwise, it would definitely be long gone."Wyneth looked at the small crack on the protective charm. Normally, a trinket like this would be indistinguishable from any other. However, she could recognize her own protective charm because there was a small crack on it from when she had accidentally dropped it as a child.And the crack on this protective charm was exactly the same as the one she used to own."Wyneth, you've never opened that box, right?"Hayden's voice rang in her ears again.Wyneth pursed her pink lips.'Perhaps the reason he had to spend so much money on this protective charm isn't because it's a replacement for my previous one, but because it's the original?'But didn't he lose it back then? How did it end up in an auction then?'Wyneth could not
'Yet she cares about their feelings more than I do.'Hayden pursed his lips, clearly still in a bad mood.At that time, Benedict, who was sitting across from him, could not help but raise his voice and say, "Hayden, Wyneth served you a bowl of soup. Aren't you going to drink it?"Hayden lifted his gaze and met Benedict's piercing eyes. He could not help but think, 'Maybe Wyneth's his actual grandchild, and I'm just adopted.'He kept quiet and started drinking the soup with a spoon. Wyneth took a sip of the soup too, head awash with thoughts of the protective charm.After that, the interactions between Wyneth and Hayden became distant and cold. Ever since that conversation, Hayden began constantly acting cold and distant, never talking to her except when they were around his grandparents.They stayed in the old mansion for the whole time, and Wyneth would sleep on the bed while he slept on the sofa. They would enter and leave the room together, but neither of them would say a sing
Yoyo immediately got nosy and leaned close, wrapping her arm around Wyneth's shoulder."What is it? Who is this Mr. H?"Wyneth looked at her."Even if I told you, would you really want to know?"Yoyo had always been a nosy person, but she felt a little hesitant after hearing what Wyneth said."Wh-Why wouldn't I want to?""What do you think?"Yoyo looked at the stunningly beautiful Wyneth, as some prominent celebrities came to mind. She knew that if there was something going on, with someone of Wyneth's looks and personality, the other party would never just be some ordinary person.Yoyo looked conflicted before she put on a carefree expression and said, "Well, I don't want to know about it anymore. It won't affect our friendship anyway, right?""Yeah.""Good. Let me treat you to a cup of coffee then.""Don't you have another scene to film? You should go back now before the director gets mad.""But...""Don't worry, I'm not leaving so soon. My flight's tomorrow, so we'll me
Matilda had never treated Wyneth well. Wyneth already knew what Matilda would say even before calling her, but she was not interested in arguing with Matilda. She had only called to find out one thing.Wyneth smirked and replied, "Mrs. Hamilton, if I really wanted your money, I would've made you give it to me before I signed the divorce papers. After all, if I refused to sign them, your precious son would never be an available bachelor ever again, am I right?"Matilda narrowed her eyes upon hearing that."So?"Wyneth smiled faintly. "Forget about the money. There's something else I want from you.""Ridiculous." Matilda laughed. "Who do you think you are to be asking something from me?"Wyneth's gaze turned cold, and she could not be bothered to argue with Matilda any longer. As she was considering whether she should ask Matilda about the protective charm over the phone, so they did not have to meet in person, Matilda continued speaking again."You don't want any money, huh? The
After saying that, Wyneth hung up the call with a cold expression.She sat there with her chest heaving and a scowl on her face.That protective charm was something that she had been wearing since she was a child. To other people, it might just have been some useless trinket, but for her, it was something that she could not live without. However, she had still given it to Hayden.She just could not accept the fact that Matilda threw it away. She initially thought that Hayden was the one who had lost it, but after connecting all the dots, she figured that Hayden might have never even seen it.So that was why he had looked so confused when she asked him about it.After Wyneth hung up on her, Matilda got so mad that she almost threw her phone away. However, she stopped herself just in time as she remembered that she was still representing the Hamilton family."Wyneth Walford is doing too much!""Mrs. Hamilton, what's wrong?""I want to go to Hayden's office now. Right now!"The m
"What did you say?"Matilda looked at Hayden in disbelief.The person in front of her was not just her son, but also the founder of StarCrest Entertainment. Not only did he possess creativity and innovation, but also the capability to make his own decisions.Hayden was never like the other children, and he had always been different since he was young. Perhaps it had something to do with the environment he grew up in, but as a child, he had always made decisions on his own no matter what they were. He would never seek advice from his father, who was never at home anyway, nor his busybody mother.He had basically grown up alone in life, which was why he had not asked for his mother's opinion on the divorce agreement. That was also the reason why Matilda was so furious. She could not understand why her son would never consult her before making any decisions."Mom, is there anything else I can help you with?" Hayden turned to another page of the document in his hand while reading the
