Hayden laid Wyneth on the bed, took off her shoes, and tucked her in. While he was doing so, Wyneth pushed the blanket away in her sleep. "It's hot. I don't want the blanket," she mumbled. Hayden held her wrist and whispered, "The air conditioning is on. It'll cool down soon."

"Oh." After hearing this, Wyneth stopped fidgeting and let Hayden finish tucking her in. He then tidied up her messy hair on her face, checked that she was asleep, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

All the while, Bruce watched with a cold look. After a while, Hayden finally looked up. They shared a look, then left the room without a word. Once outside, Bruce said to Yoyo, who was still shocked, "Wyn is drunk. She might be a bit restless. Can you take care of her tonight?"

Yoyo did not respond. Gordon looked at her and sighed. "She's just really shocked. Your assistant should stay and help." Bruce was silent. The assistant quickly volunteered. "I can stay. I'll take good care of Ms. Walford. Don't worry, B

    Things did not go the way Hayden wanted, and what was done was done. He could not forget how Wyneth signed the contract without even looking at it, and then just walked away from the Hamilton family. He was so shocked he could not say a word."Tell you what to do?" Bruce chuckled coldly. "Mr. Hamilton, I think you've got it wrong. Who would dare tell you what to do? But you're hurting her? That's not gonna happen."Back then, she sneaked away to marry Hayden, who was incapacitated at the time, which really upset all her big brothers. Bruce was so mad he got a headache, even halting filming for a few days. He could not comprehend why his smart, amazing sister would marry someone like that. When he asked her why, she did not say anything, just that she liked him. Bruce did not think just liking someone was a good enough reason to give up everything. So he guessed, Hayden must have shared some big moment with Wyneth, which might have caused her decision to marry him. But in the end, she

    People walked by now and then, but no one stopped to help the little girl. After a while, the teenage Hayden noticed the girl seemed worn out from crying. Sitting on the bridge, she stared openly at him, since he had not directly met her gaze yet. That day, she watched him for so long that when he finally looked her way, he could see her red eyes and runny nose. He asked, somewhat annoyed, "Haven't you cried enough? You've been crying for two hours and twenty-three minutes. Aren't you out of tears yet?" At his words, the girl seemed to freeze, her crying abruptly stopping before she mumbled, "I have more.""More?" He could not help but laugh a little. "Well, it's already late, and I should go home."But then he thought better of it and walked over to the little girl. As he crouched down beside her to try to comfort her, he noticed a birthday hat sitting crooked on her head. Suddenly, it clicked. 'It must be her birthday today.' Yet, something had made her so upset that she ran away t

    "Hmm..." The little girl took a few bites of her cake, her pale cheeks puffing lightly with each bite. Hayden wanted to poke her cheek, but as he reached out, she suddenly looked up at him. "Aren't you eating?"Hayden did not respond. He had bought the cake only to make her happy on her birthday. However, seeing her hopeful gaze, he could not ignore her expectation. He joined her in eating the cake, finding the sweetness less bothersome than usual. After they finished the cake, Hayden cleaned things up. As they were leaving, he packed an extra piece for her."Why did you buy more? Are you taking it home for your family?""No, it's for you," Hayden said softly, looking at her. "But you can't eat it today. Save it for tomorrow.""Okay."Then, Hayden asked for her address and took her home in a taxi. As the little girl was getting out of the car, she tugged at his shirt. Hayden looked down. "What's up?""Can I get your phone number?"Hayden paused. He was handsome, and it was not u

    The next morning, Wyneth woke up to bright sunshine outside. The room was quiet. She pushed back the covers and sat up. She still felt very tired, like she had not slept enough."I wonder what time it is..."She asked absent-mindedly, then reached under her pillow for her phone. Once she saw the time, she nearly freaked out. 'It's almost noon? I was supposed to be on set today. How did I oversleep?' Thinking this, Wyneth quickly got out of bed. As her feet touched the cold floor, a rush of memories came back. She bit her lip, feeling really embarrassed. 'Did I... Did I really hug and hold on to Hayden after getting drunk? Did I call him "honey"?' She looked down in regret. 'I remember asking Bruce's assistant to take me home. I even saw Bruce, but then things changed. Hayden! Why is he always around when I don't expect him? Why couldn't he just stay upstairs? Why did he have to come downstairs?'Feeling helpless, Wyneth flopped back onto the bed. Just at that moment, the door to the

    Susan thought to herself, 'Wyneth is such a nice and easy-going person. I can't believe that she can remain calm after listening to all this.' So, she continued to speak without restraint."Then you just kept hugging Mr. Hamilton, telling him that he's the only person you care about and that you didn't know who Bruce was. Bruce's face was burning with anger while you said that."Wyneth was speechless."However, Mr. Hamilton didn't want to leave you to Bruce, so both of them sent you back here together.""Is there anything else?""Nope, that's it."Wyneth blinked her eyes and asked, "Are you sure? Did I do anything else other than call him using affectionate terms?"She was worried that she might have kissed Hayden again.Susan shook her head.Wyneth heaved a sigh of relief after that. However, she heard Susan speaking again before she could finally catch a break from that. "Wyneth, actually, I'm not entirely sure because there was a period of time when you weren't with us.""

    Yoyo shot Wyneth another question before Wyneth could say anything."This is weird. Why would he only visit Gigi on the set if he knows you too?" Yoyo held her chin. "Is it because he wants to avoid gossip?"Wyneth looked at Yoyo, unsure of how to respond.She pondered for some time before she finally spoke, "Stop overthinking it. Aren't you tired after you just finished filming? Let's eat."Yoyo nodded."Sure, let's go eat. However, you're not escaping anywhere. You've got to tell me exactly what's going on."Yoyo spoke as if she was going to interrogate Wyneth during the meal, but she had totally forgotten about doing that as soon as she saw the delicacies on the table.She only remembered that she wanted to ask Wyneth more questions when they had to part ways to go to their respective sets, so she said before leaving, "You can go now, but you have to tell me everything tonight."Wyneth could only promise her temporarily. "Okay."Wyneth was only relieved after sending her of

    "Oh my god, Wyneth, you're so lucky. How did you get to know them? Mr. Hamilton is known for how cold and unapproachable he is, yet…""Wyneth Walford."Suddenly, someone called her name through a loudspeaker.Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the assistant director calling out to her with a loudspeaker."Come here, I need to talk to you about something in the script."'Perfect timing,' Wyneth thought to herself.Wyneth heaved a sigh of relief and showed an apologetic look to the people around her as she said, "I'm sorry, but the assistant director is calling for me. I have to go now."The crowd looked disappointed."Okay then, go ahead. He's probably going to discuss the script with you. I heard that he loves to do that, and he could be a little annoying.""That's right. Just ignore him if you find him annoying. Let him talk to himself.""All right, thanks, guys. I'll go now."Wyneth then walked toward the assistant director."Good afternoon," she greete

    The assistant director scratched his head awkwardly."I have no idea."Then, he shifted his gaze back to Wyneth. "He's probably trying to pursue your little sister."Bruce pursed his lips, looking displeased.The assistant director noticed that and hurriedly explained, "I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously!"Wyneth blinked her eyes at Bruce upon listening to their conversation, seemingly asking, "How does he know about our relationship?"Bruce understood what she wanted to ask by just looking at her eyes. So, he said to the assistant director, "You tell her.""Sure."The assistant director walked toward Wyneth and introduced himself, "My name is Kenny Jacob, and I knew your brother for a long time. Back then, he was already a star when I just graduated from university. However, I knew him before joining the industry. I've always known that he has a sister named Wyneth, and I was shocked when I found out that you joined showbiz too. But don't worry, I'll treat Bruce's sis

    "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

    Everyone rushed to check out Wyneth's Facebook and, sure enough, they saw her admitting to the relationship, along with a freshly taken selfie.At first, Wyneth only wanted to write a post. But after Hayden tasted the joy of going public with their relationship, he suggested taking a wefie for the official announcement. Feeling his excitement, Wyneth agreed. They posted the wefie on Facebook, captioned "Officially Together". Yet, Hayden was not done. He captured another photo, this time holding her hand, eager to share their love with the world.Since Hayden was not a celebrity or idol, he had no fan feelings to fret over.
