Wyneth remained quiet. She had wanted to thank him for that night, but his actions afterward upset her, and she never had the opportunity. Taking a moment and a deep breath, she replied, "That happened on set. If I felt in danger, I would've yelled for help. The crew was right outside the makeup room. If I didn't return soon, they would've searched for me.""If no one noticed you were gone, or thought you just needed a break in the makeup room, could you deal with what might happen?"Wyneth was scared by his words but also too stubborn to show it. She shot back, "What might happen? In the worst case—""But I couldn't bear it."She paused. "What are you saying?""If something happened to you, I'd be devastated."Wyneth bit her lip, struggling with the whirlwind of emotions his words stirred up. Frustrated and at a loss, she quickly hung up on Hayden. Standing there, his words kept playing in her mind like a catchy song: "If something happened to you, I'd be devastated." 'Why does

"What did you just say?" Hayden asked, his voice cold."Missed that? No matter who I'm with, it won't be you. Understand?" Without waiting for a reply, Wyneth turned and walked away.The bodyguards trailed behind, their expressions showing their surprise at how abruptly Wyneth had treated Hayden. They shot nervous glances her way, half-expecting her to be upset with them. Instead, she spared them a brief, indifferent glance."Just leave. I don't need you tailing me.""But Ms. Walford," the lead bodyguard started, "we've been paid to watch over you. If we don't, we have to return the money. We really need this job.""Yeah, he's right," the other two chimed in. "We really need this job, Ms. Walford. I have a family to support. If we don't finish this job because you don't want us, they might fire us for letting a client down."Initially, Wyneth did not give it much thought. She assumed that bodyguards could easily find another job if one fell through. Their words, however, gave her

Wyneth turned to see Hayden's face, clouded with anger. "You—" She was interrupted as Hayden suddenly lifted her off the ground. "Hey! What are you doing? Put me down!"Hayden's face was stern, and he ignored Wyneth's protests. When she tried to hit him, he did not flinch. Desperate, she turned to her bodyguards. "Help me! Aren't you guys supposed to protect me? I don't even know him!"Hearing Wyneth's plea, the bodyguards started to step in."Stop," Hayden warned, his gaze cold. "Remember, I hired you. Step any closer, and you're out of a job."The bodyguards hesitated, stopping in their tracks."Don't listen to him!" Wyneth exclaimed. "He's not your boss now, I am. Help me!""I never took the payment she sent," Hayden said. "I've been your boss since the beginning. As long as I don't say otherwise, that doesn't change.""And if you don't help me now, I won't want you around later. You'll be out of work either way," Wyneth shot back.The bodyguards hesitated. If Wyneth did not

Wyneth was stunned. 'Did Hayden just smack my butt?' Almost instantly, her cheeks turned a deep shade of red. She gritted her teeth and snapped at Hayden, "What did you do that for?"Hayden had simply meant to give Wyneth a playful smack, hoping it would get her to stop joking around so much and challenging him all the time. But after the smack, seeing her mortified reaction and her flushed face, he understood he might have crossed a line. The lingering sensation of the soft touch remained on his hand. He swallowed hard, momentarily lost for words, then finally said, "Why'd you disobey?" and gave her another smack.Wyneth was speechless. After a brief pause, she said with gritted teeth, "Watch out, Hayden! I'll get back at you for this!"Hayden laughed. "Alright, I'll be waiting." And before she knew it, he was carrying her toward his car.In the past, Hayden always pampered Wyneth, letting her have the last word. But now, he seemed upset and was far more assertive. No matter how m

Wyneth's voice rose with frustration. "Who's saying I've got you wrong? Weren't you the one who forced me into the car and told me I couldn't leave? And in the restroom, didn't you push me against the wall to kiss me? Wasn't it you? You—" Before she could finish, Hayden silenced her with a swift kiss. Wyneth froze. 'Just as I thought! This jerk!' She pulled back, about to yell, "You're such a—" but was cut off again.Hayden did not let her finish. With his hand braced behind her seat, he leaned in, trying to part her lips with his. Wyneth attempted to dodge, but there was little room to escape in the car, leaving her cornered. After a moment, Hayden pulled back, resting his forehead against hers."Got anything else to say?"Wyneth bit her lip, thinking, 'I'll just keep quiet.'Hayden, still close, murmured, "I won't let you go."Wyneth looked up at him, confused. "What do you mean?"Hayden pressed his lips together. "What I mean is, as long as I'm alive, you're mine. If you don't

Inside the elevator, Wyneth wore a blank expression. As she tried to make sense of the situation, Luke spoke up, hoping to explain. Meanwhile, he and Hayden exchanged intense glances. 'This is quite the situation,' Wyneth thought, sighing internally.Ding!The elevator halted, and a chatty group poured in. Noticing them, Luke instinctively lowered his baseball cap. 'So many people...' he thought. Only wearing a cap without sunglasses or a mask, he wondered if he would be recognized.Caught by surprise, Wyneth barely had time to react before Hayden shielded her, arms encircling her. To the crowd, they just looked like a couple, so no one gave them a second glance. Everyone was too engrossed in their animated conversations, clearly enjoying their vacation.Guarded by Hayden, Wyneth picked up bits of the group's chatter, learning they were heading to the rooftop for some event. A sudden bump from someone made Hayden visibly tense. His lips pressed together, and his expression turned m

"Hey, why are you crying?"The guys nearby became flustered at the sight of Wyneth's red eyes, not used to dealing with such situations. They attempted to wipe away her tears, but their coarse fingers only irritated her soft skin, causing her to cry even more. Not knowing how to soothe her, they called over Hayden. Seeing her upset state, Hayden's heart ached."What happened?"Wyneth did not respond, instead turning away from him. Hayden paused, eyeing the group."You guys didn't pick on her, did you?"The roommates quickly defended themselves, "Why would we tease her? She's your treasure, isn't she?""What happened then?" Hayden scooped up a sulking Wyneth as he spoke.The roommates recounted what had happened, concluding with, "She might think you'll leave her behind."Hayden's brows knitted together at this. He gave them a pointed look. "You all been running your mouths too much? Maybe you need more chores to keep you busy?"The guys shifted nervously, expecting Hayden to c

Young Hayden could only sigh and touch her tiny head while denying it."No, it won't happen, so don't overthink it, okay?"Young Wyneth lifted her head."Really? Are you never going to have a girlfriend?"Young Hayden kept quiet."I knew you were lying to me!"Young Hayden quickly said after seeing that she was about to cry again, "I wasn't lying. I promise you that I won't have a girlfriend."He had no choice but to play along with Wyneth. However, he figured that it would not be a big matter because he was not planning to have a girlfriend anyway. He would be busy with work after graduating and would not have time to date.Young Wyneth was finally satisfied when she heard his promise.At that time, she genuinely believed that he would not leave her.However, just like her parents, he abandoned her as well.Wyneth was lost in her memories, thinking about the past. Suddenly, a loud shout snapped her back to reality."Luke Langdon!"A girl was taking a selfie in the elevato

"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
