"Are what?" Wyneth cut him off. Hayden fell silent again. "Come on, say something," she pressed."Alright." Hayden got straight to the point. "Do you not want to be with me forever, just playing around? Planning to leave when you're bored? Is that why you're telling me to deny everything now so easily?"At his words, Wyneth blinked in surprise. "But you're the one who asked me how to handle this. Wouldn't you deny it too if you were in charge?"Hayden was speechless, unsure how to respond. He had thought about addressing the trending topic, but never about denying it. Their relationship was real, and he wanted to share it with the world, despite her worries. Now, faced with having to deny their bond, he felt a weight in his heart. But if it was not dealt with now, she might get upset too. With this in mind, he quietly made a decision. "I'll handle it," he said firmly.He stood, ready to make a call. After a few steps, he felt a tug on his sleeve. Turning, he met Wyneth's gaze as sh
"Hey, why are you and Mr. Hamilton all over the internet together?" Shaun asked, his voice filled with doubt. "You said you were done with him, didn't you? So why were you at the hospital together? That was you, right?"Wyneth thought for a moment, deciding to get straight to the point. "Shaun," she asked, "if I announce my relationship now, will it affect the contract?"Shaun thought he must have heard wrong. "What?""How much would the penalty be?" Wyneth asked. She was ready to have Hayden pay if a big fine was involved.Shaun finally understood. "Wait, are you two back together?""Yep."The shock took some time to wear off for Shaun. "I had a feeling Mr. Hamilton treated you differently back then. You were...""Well, how I felt back then is different from now. Let's focus, okay? He's got people working to take down the rumors about him. If I tell everyone about us, do you think it'll mess up the contract? Just so you know, even if it causes problems, I'm still going to do it
Although hesitant, Hayden agreed, "Alright, I'll wait for your message."After Hayden left, Wyneth went to see Finn. As she entered, Finn's face lit up, ready to talk. However, his smile faded as a thought crossed his mind."Oh, look who remembered to visit me," he said with a hint of sarcasm. "Thought you got swept away by someone else, forgetting about your brother."Wyneth rolled her eyes. "Oh, not feeling welcome here. Guess I'll go." She turned toward the door.Finn's frustration showed. "You brat! Trying to tick me off? Get back here now."She paused and glanced back. "So, you're calling me back?""Yeah, I am. Happy now?"As Wyneth walked back, Finn sighed in relief and pulled her to sit by his bed. "Feels like you haven't visited me much lately. And you were really going to leave?"Wyneth huffed, "Yeah, I don't want to spoil you."Finn's face turned serious. "Did Hayden teach you to act like this?"Hearing this, Wyneth's eyes widened. "What are you talking about? No wa
Andrew was the last to answer the phone. He did not say anything right away. But as Finn swelled with pride, Andrew's words cut through, "Dad is back." Finn's expression changed in a flash. Noticing the sudden silence, Andrew sighed on the other end. "There are some things you can't avoid. Talk to her about it. Dad is coming over tonight."After a pause, Finn said, "I know."Andrew added, "If Wyn wants to leave, stop her.""Oh," Finn uttered, a hint of hesitation in his voice."This is what I'm asking you to do. Can you do it?" Andrew questioned further.Irritated, Finn replied, "Got it."As Wyneth set up the food she had brought back, Finn's nerves built up. He knew he had to break the news. He started, "Um..." His words hung in the air, causing Wyneth to freeze.With a comforting smile, she eased the tension. "Let's eat first, Finn. I bought what you like.""Oh, okay." Finn just poked at his food. With Andrew's warning bouncing around in his head, even his favorite food lost
Initially, everything was fine. Hayden managed to keep his cool. He had never been afraid of being watched before. But when the one gazing at him turned out to be Wyneth, he finally gave in. He covered his lips and coughed lightly.Seeing his guilty look, it was clear to Wyneth that he felt guilty. "Really now," she said. "Didn't I tell you to go?"Now that it was out in the open, Hayden felt no guilt. He moved closer, saying, "I just wanted to wait for you one day." After he said this, anxiety crept in. Hurriedly, he added, "By the way, did your manager reply to you?"She had already heard from Shaun. She nodded, saying, "He did," but withheld the rest of the information.Hayden waited, but when she did not say more, he asked, "So when will you release the statement?""Why?" Wyneth looked at him, amusement in her eyes. "Rushing me to clear your name, are you? Who's more nervous now?"Indeed, Hayden was nervous. But his nervousness was not about releasing the statement early. He
Despite his agreement, Hayden remained unmoved, rooted to the spot, clearly reluctant to proceed. After a significant hesitation, he managed to spur himself forward. "How's the writing going?" he asked."Almost done. Don't rush me. I'm considering my part, and then yours."Hearing this, confusion etched on Hayden's face. "Mine?""Yeah, you're pairing up with me, right? You have to respond after I do." Wyneth's words flowed as she casually rested her chin on her finger, embodying deep contemplation.As Hayden watched Wyneth deep in thought, he felt a strange unease. Thinking about her having to consider both her part and his own made him feel bad. He could not hold back and said with a hint of bitterness, "You're really taking this seriously."Inside, Wyneth felt a giggle bubbling up, but she managed to keep a straight face. "Yeah, I'm always serious about my work."She kept typing for a long time. Sadly, Hayden never glanced at her phone's screen. One peek would have shown him so
Hayden held on tight. Even though she had said she forgave him, it was only now that he really understood what it meant to get back something he had lost. He clung to her, his face lowered into the curve of her neck, where he could not resist the urge to plant soft kisses.As Wyneth felt a warm touch, it was too late to pull away. She felt a grasp on her waist and Hayden's lips trailing up her neck, seeking hers. A part of her wanted to move away as she spoke, "I haven't posted on Facebook yet."But Hayden had kissed her. "No rush."'So, what's the rush?' Hayden's actions said it all. He kissed her in haste, uncaring of the world around him. The joy of getting back what was lost drove his desires. He yearned only to hold her, to claim her as his own, despite her efforts to push him away. As Hayden's breath mingled with hers, Wyneth felt herself being wholly consumed by his presence.After what felt like forever, a flushed and panting Wyneth managed to push Hayden away. She quickl
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
