"Don't push your luck too far," Wyneth said.Hayden was surprised. He had never seen Wyneth this angry before. He observed her struggling to control her temper, as though she was about to claw at someone. Despite wanting to laugh, Hayden managed to stifle it. A hint of resignation was etched on his lips. "What should I do? The company has been really busy since I woke up," he said.Wyneth didn't respond. When she saw him smile, she felt a bit dazed. Hayden's composed and handsome features merged with his casual yet charming teenage looks. She felt like she was back to when she was ten years old, meeting Hayden for the first time on a bridge.By the time she snapped out of it, she found herself walking into the office without realizing it. She turned around and saw Hayden looking at her intently, saying, "Wait for me," before leaving with his secretary.A few minutes later, Wyneth regained her senses and laughed at herself. 'What was I doing just now?' she thought. 'Do I have to kee
Dexter left the office still feeling bewildered. He couldn't help but wonder, 'They got divorced? When did this happen? Why wasn't I informed? And hasn't Mr. Hamilton been going out of his way to please Mrs. Hamilton recently? I thought it was Mr. Hamilton who upset Mrs. Hamilton, but it turns out it's a divorce.'After he finished what he had to do, Dexter quickly caught up with the ongoing meeting.At the start of the meeting, the StarCrest Entertainment management team noticed that the pace was unusually fast today. Although they were used to the fast-paced and straight-to-the-point meetings with Hayden, today was different. The pace was too quick, and they couldn't keep up. When the meeting ended, everyone's mind was still in a whirl, while Hayden had already put on his coat and left the room.As soon as he stepped out of the meeting room, everyone began to talk."What's up with Mr. Hamilton today? Why do I feel like he's in a hurry?""I heard he brought a lady to the office."
Hayden hadn't brought the divorce agreement to the office from the beginning, as he never expected Wyneth to show up so quickly.When Wyneth, who had waited for long, heard this, she smirked with narrowed pupils. "Are you playing me? Is this some kind of twisted game for you?" She walked toward the door, brushing past him.Hayden's expression shifted, and he reached out to pull her back. However, he used too much force, and Wyneth stumbled toward him. In a reflex, Hayden caught her, but they both fell onto the soft leather couch behind them as he tripped over something on the ground.As they fell, Hayden instinctively held Wyneth protectively in his arms.Bang!Hayden shielded Wyneth, preventing her from falling to the ground. His well-built body landed on top of Wyneth's soft curves. This was the first close contact between them when while Wyneth was sober.Hayden was too focused on ensuring Wyneth was okay to notice anything else, and he immediately asked, "Are you alright?"W
Hayden's breath was hot and his movements were quick as he leaned in to kiss Wyneth. But just before their lips touched, he abruptly stopped and looked down at her.Wyneth was caught off guard and her eyes widened. Her ruby-red lips were slightly parted, as if inviting him for a kiss.Hayden sat up, his throat bobbing as he tried to control his emotions. He took Wyneth's slender wrist and pulled her up, looking at her intensely. "Do you really want a divorce?" he asked.Wyneth's breathing was still unsteady, but she nodded instinctively.Hayden pressed further. "Do you really want to leave me, even if I explain everything to you?"Upon hearing his words, Wyneth lowered her gaze, her long lashes trembling. She thought to herself, 'What's the point of explaining it now? You're just trying to make me look good. The real reason is that you don't love me.'Since leaving Hayden, Wyneth had come to a realization. Even if the incidents of changing rooms and sending flowers hadn't happene
Wyneth thought to herself, 'If Hayden drops me off at the set, will someone take pictures of us?'Quickly, she dismissed the absurd idea. She felt like she had just started filming and didn't think any media would follow her around. She felt like she was just being paranoid and that the media would only stalk famous stars like Gigi.The distance wasn't far, but by the time Wyneth and Hayden left the company, it was close to dusk, and the streetlights were already on halfway through the journey. By the time they arrived near the set, it was completely dark outside.The Le Palais crew was stationed in the wilderness these days, and the road was somewhat secluded, bumpy, and even lacked streetlights. The further they drove, the more Hayden furrowed his brows. He asked Wyneth, "You're staying on set tonight?""Uh-huh." Wyneth didn't think much of it and just nodded. Many actors and actresses of the cast were staying here recently, so they could wake up and start filming right away.Ha
On the next day, a set of pictures topped the hot searches on Facebook and instantly dominated the headlines of all the major entertainment media.The head of StarCrest Entertainment sent a lady back to the set late at night.One could see a few things in those photos.In the darkness of the night, a beam of light lit up the lady's path ahead. Even though she wore a few layers of clothes, her figure still looked very slim and graceful. And there was a silver Bentley behind her.A handsome man sat in the driver's seat, and he stared at the lady in front of his car with his dark eyes.There was not any filter on those photos, yet they looked very artistic and dreamy.One of the social media channel's captions was: [The lady's identity remained unknown but judging from the fact that he used to visit Gigi Kane on the set, that's most probably her.]Due to the fact that Hayden went to the set previously and how Gigi posted the photos of those flowers and sweet treats, the rumor of hi
As she kept scrolling, she suddenly saw a photo of herself.She paused for a moment before slowly lifting the corner of her mouth when she saw it.The photo was pretty well taken, be it the angle, framing, or color were very on point.'Which reporter took this photo? He should switch jobs.'However, the only flaw in that photo was the man sitting in that car.She would have saved that photo if it was somebody else.But...Wyneth scrolled down with a cold face, and then she saw the comments congratulating Hayden and Gigi on getting together.She thought that she would get into trouble for getting caught, but it seemed like many people assumed that the lady in the photo was Gigi.She was glad that nobody suspected her, and it saved her from a lot of trouble.Wyneth switched off her phone and was about to read the script.Suddenly, she heard somebody knocking on her door frantically.They were living in a place provided by the production crew. It was a rented multi-level villa
Once again, Wyneth's words left Gigi speechless.Her expression froze and the only thing she could do was grit her teeth and say, "You're such a..."Wyneth took a step back and shut the door in a flash before she could finish cursing at her.Bang!The door almost slammed onto Gigi's nose, forcing her to immediately take a few steps back. She breathed heavily as she cursed under her breath."Wyneth, you..."Swoosh!The door next to her opened, and a few actresses came out together from inside.Gigi stopped what she was about to say and forced a sweet smile on her face. The look on her face immediately changed as she turned around and quickly left.The actresses stood there, confused."Gigi? Isn't her room upstairs? What's she doing here?""Hey, have you guys seen the news? She got together with Hayden Hamilton. She's so lucky.""I'm going to be the most jealous person in the world today. Sigh, let's just hurry up and get ready for filming."*Wyneth was supposed to shoot t
"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
