'She doesn't look like the same person who was close to collapsing earlier,' Wyneth thought to herself.She laughed and was about to take a rest at the hostel.Suddenly, she heard someone calling for her from the back."Young Madam."She stopped walking as she was shocked by the bizarre title."Young Madam."Dexter called out to Wyneth in a low voice from afar. Then, he waved his hand at her vigorously as soon as she turned around.There was a tall and slender figure following behind him.That person's face looked handsome and well-defined. His gaze was deep and intense as it fell on Wyneth from a distance.Wyneth kept quiet.She looked away emotionlessly, pretending that she was just a passerby as she hastened her steps toward the hostel.Almost everyone else was working on the set other than her and Yoyo.Hayden squinted after seeing how Wyneth turned around and walked away from him. Then, he strode forward to stop her.He raised his arm in front of her. However, Wyneth
Wyneth spoke again, "Hm? Are you not here to give me a divorce gift? I've accepted it now. After this, we can get on with our lives."Hayden was speechless.Hayden had never been pushed away like this in his whole life. Wyneth was the first woman to keep rejecting him and wanting to cut ties with him.If Wyneth did not get so drunk and complained to him while crying, he would never believe that this aloof lady in front of him was the exact person who cried to him.However, he was the one who did her wrong at first.Hayden pressed his tongue against his palate as his gaze turned darker while he reminded her."Wyneth, I haven't signed the divorce agreement yet."Wyneth's eyes looked stupefied after hearing that. 'Haven't signed yet? What's he up to?'"This is just a gift to express my apology to you."Wyneth laughed and opened her palm. "Mr. Hamilton, are you telling me that you don't want to divorce, and you're giving me this as a token of apology? Am I understanding this corre
"Dexter!"Dexter bowed his head down, thinking that his life would be over. However, he recollected himself very quickly and came up with an idea."Mr. Hamilton, I'm sure that the person in charge made a mistake. I gave him clear instructions, yet he didn't do according to what I said. I've got to scold him!"Then, Dexter ran away like a streak of smoke.Hayden stood there as he stared at the key and felt his temples twitching.'Did Wyneth think that giving her a place to stay is humiliating because the flowers were sent to the wrong person?'Who was the person who took the flowers then?'Dexter came back from making the call very soon after that.He seemed like a completely different person than before as he hung his head low, looking very dejected."Mr. Hamilton, it was my mistake. I should've delivered the flowers personally."Hayden's mood was not any better compared to Dexter's either.He looked very solemn."So, who ended up receiving my gifts?"Dexter bowed his head
Gigi immediately nodded after hearing what her assistant said."That's possible. Mrs. Hamilton told me that Hayden has a lot of things to deal with in his office."Gigi sighed softly. "I wonder if Hayden was there when the director scolded me just now. Does that rubbish director know my brother is the investor of this drama? How could he treat me like that?!"Her assistant comforted her, "Gigi, calm down. I'm sure that Mr. Hamilton will only feel sorry for you even if he did see what happened."Those words lightened Gigi's mood as she looked at her assistant proudly. "You're right. Well said. You deserve a reward."Then, she tossed a lipstick to her assistant, who took it gratefully.However, the assistant looked fearful and anxious as soon as Gigi turned around.After going back, Gigi arranged those flowers and sweet treats together and took a picture before posting it online.She thought for a while and decided to post it on Facebook too.Then, she typed the caption, [My dai
Leo paused for a moment. His ears turned slightly red as he said softly, "You can ask me if you have any questions about acting."Leo heard that Wyneth was new to acting. Even though he was not the best actor himself, he figured that he would at least be better than Wyneth in terms of experience.Wyneth did not notice anything unusual and thought that he was just being kind. So, she nodded."Thank you."Then, she bowed her head back down, not wanting to flatter Leo.After a few seconds, Wyneth raised her head up as if she suddenly thought about something. "Do you want to have a seat?"Undoubtedly, Leo did not refuse the offer of such a gorgeous woman. Then, he nodded his head and sat neither too near nor too far away from Wyneth.They heard Matthew yelling at the set after he sat down for a while."Catherine's eyes should be filled with joy in this scene! She has to be hopeful about her future as a young girl. Her eyes must tell a story! How many times have I told you about thi
Matthew's anxious mood eased as Wyneth's scenes were shot smoothly. He shouted the name of the next actor with satisfaction, pleased with the progress they were making.As soon as Wyneth finished filming, the intense heat outside hit her hard. She spotted Yoyo waving frantically from inside the tent and made her way over to see what was going on. Yoyo handed her a bottle of cold mineral water, which Wyneth gratefully accepted. "Thanks," she said, unscrewing the cap and taking a few refreshing sips.Yoyo then pulled her aside, whispering to her in a mysterious tone that was hoarse and gritty, a stark contrast to her previous sweet voice. "Have you heard? Hayden Hamilton didn't send flowers to Gigi today."Wyneth glanced at her, concerned. "Doesn't your throat hurt when you talk like that?"Yoyo nodded pitifully in response."Well, then maybe you should stop talking if it hurts," suggested Wyneth.Yoyo refused, however, determined to share the juicy gossip. "I won't! I have to spil
Toward the end of her sentence, Gigi had a sudden recollection and expressed her annoyance to Jake, "Jake, you're being so inattentive. I already shared pictures on my social media."However, instead of a response, there was complete silence."Jake?" Gigi called out."Just a moment, I have an urgent call to make," Jake abruptly hung up on Gigi.Puzzled by Jake's behavior, Gigi wondered to herself, "What's going on? Is he in shock?"Shortly after, Hayden received a call from Jake. He answered it in a detached tone as he had just stepped out of the elevator. "What's up?" Hayden asked."Man, there's a big problem!" Jake's voice quivered with agitation. "Hayden, we've been friends for years, and you're usually so level-headed. But how could you mess things up with Wyneth so badly? Who did you give the flowers to?"Hayden's silence spoke volumes to Jake.Being good friends for a long time, Jake knew that Hayden wasn't great at expressing himself and didn't like to do it much either.
"Nathan Zach."As soon as Nathan heard Hayden's mention of his name on the phone, he felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly tried to explain, "M-Mr. Hamilton, I'm not the one pushing you. It's Ms. Walford who's pushing me to get this done."Hayden frowned and wondered to himself, 'Does she really want to cut ties with me like this?'After a long pause, Hayden finally spoke up and said, "Tell her that if she wants the divorce agreement, she can come and get it herself.""Mr. Hamilton, I don't think that's—"But before Nathan could finish his sentence, Hayden abruptly hung up the phone. Nathan listened to the busy tone on the other end and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After taking a moment to compose himself, he called Wyneth back, feeling frustrated that he had been reduced to such a submissive and meek state by a simple divorce agreement. As a member of a top professional law firm, he couldn't believe that he was struggling with this task."Hello, Ms. Walford?" Nathan
"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. Eager to declare his love, he did not hold back. His photo captured his sharp features and dark, gem-like eyes that shone under the camera lights. The image showcased his palm holding Wyneth's fair, slender hand. Their contrasting hands highlighted his affection, radiating warmly from the photo.After the photo came out, everyone was shocked. This included fans, p
