Since waking up, Hayden had become somewhat colder, yet still quite gentle. Because of his work, he had not spent much time talking with Matilda. This was the first time he had spoken to her in such a tone since his recovery. Matilda realized that he was right. It was only when he pointed it out that she became aware. 'Gigi indeed hadn't visited Hayden even once. Not only Gigi, but all those who used to curry favor with him also stopped visiting after Hayden's accident, as if they were afraid of catching some bad luck. In contrast, my foolish daughter-in-law I used to have...' Upon realizing this, Matilda's expression soured.

Hayden stood up, speaking indifferently, "I'm going out for a bit."

"Where to? It's almost dinner time, you—"

"Don't wait for me for dinner."

Before she could say anything more, Hayden had disappeared from sight. Matilda sat there, wondering why her son's emotions seemed so much more unstable than before. 'Is it just my imagination? And what's Hayden doing goi

    Benjamin was so infuriated that he could not even eat his dinner. He stood up abruptly. "You better hope it wasn't Wyneth who initiated the divorce." With that said, he turned to the maid. "Go tell the chauffeur to start the car.""Yes, sir." The maid immediately dashed off to follow his orders, while Benjamin headed upstairs to change his clothes.After he left, Matilda's grief reached its peak. She turned to her mother and lamented, "Mom, what's Dad doing? I just wanted him to help me discuss the possibility of arranging a marriage between Hayden and Gigi with Mr. Hamilton Sr. What did I do wrong?"Sophia shook her head. "You were definitely in the wrong this time.""How was I wrong?""Let me ask you; when did they get divorced?"Unaware of any implications, Matilda answered honestly, "I don't know exactly when, but it was recent.""So, Hayden just got divorced, and you're already rushing to set him up with Gigi? Let alone whether Mr. Hamilton Sr. would approve. Wyneth took ca

    Upon hearing the news, Benedict breathed a sigh of relief. "So they're not divorcing? Well, that's a relief." He sat back down in his chair, preparing to set up the chessboard.Benjamin was flabbergasted.In the next moment, Benedict's hand trembled, and the chess pieces fell. "Hayden and Wyneth are getting a divorce?"Benjamin, exasperated, said, "Finally caught on, have you?""How could this happen?" Benedict had barely sat back down when he jumped up again. "Is it because Hayden has become arrogant and tossed Wyneth aside after waking up? That boy must have lost his mind lying in bed for three years.""Calm down," Benjamin urged."How can I be calm? Wyneth and Hayden were deemed a perfect match by Venerable Master Sebastian, a renowned monk. And now he's just going to divorce her like that? The boy must have found his wings!" Despite the warning from Benjamin, Benedict could not control his anger."Didn't you say you were in a good mood today, and maybe you wouldn't get angry

    "Did you propose the divorce? Do you realize that if you dared to say this in front of your grandfather, he would give you a thorough tongue-lashing? Is this something you'd be capable of doing?""Yep."Seeing Hayden's indifferent demeanor, Benjamin decided not to pursue the matter further. If Hayden wanted a scolding, so be it; after all, he had been cared for by Wyneth for three whole years, and he could surely endure a little reprimand.Upon reaching the emergency room, they found a crowd of Hamilton family members gathered. Matilda, spotting her son, tried to approach him, but her mother-in-law, Gwendolyn Case, collapsed in tears at her side, forcing Matilda to attend to her. As soon as Gwendolyn laid eyes on Hayden, she started berating him."Your marriage was going so well, why did you have to divorce? When you were still unconscious, your grandpa even hoped that if he lived long enough, he'd see you wake up and have children with Wyneth. But not long after you woke up, you w

    Upon hearing this, Benjamin's eyes widened in surprise. 'What's Hayden up to?' he wondered. Hayden pressed his lips together, raising his eyelids slightly but said nothing. Benjamin asked, "So you two haven't actually divorced yet, but you're in the process?"'Should be considered divorced, right?' Hayden thought of the agreement he had already signed, and they were just one step away from being officially divorced - picking up the divorce certificate. 'But, what about before getting the divorce certificate?'Seeing a glimmer of hope, Benedict abruptly sat up. "Call Wyneth right now."Hayden hesitated, a bit exasperated. "It's really late, Grandpa.""I don't care; I want to talk to Wyneth now. Call her and let me speak with her."Hayden's expression darkened. He did want to call her, but the last time, she had blocked his number, only unblocking it when she came to get the divorce agreement. 'But what about after that? After she received the divorce agreement, would she block me a

    "No, no, I'm fine," Benedict insisted between coughs. He shot meaningful glances at Hayden, who sat there motionless, seemingly blind to his grandfather's signals. 'This brat!' Benedict thought to himself.Ultimately, it was Benjamin who stepped in, taking the phone from his friend. "Wyneth, your grandfather-in-law's cough is quite severe. Let me explain. The situation is like this..." Benjamin spoke gravely, concocting a small story that did not mention the real reason for Benedict's distress – the knowledge of the couple's divorce. As Benjamin spoke, Benedict continued to cough and sigh dramatically, the two working together like a well-rehearsed performance. Hayden sat quietly, watching the spectacle unfold."Your grandfather-in-law's condition isn't good. He hopes you can come see him."As soon as Benjamin finished speaking, Benedict launched into another series of heavy coughs. "That brat is too busy with work and hardly ever visits me. Wyneth, if you're not willing to come...

    A minute later, Dexter returned to the car, looking pitiful. "Mrs. Hamilton saw me and ran off."Hayden glanced at him and noticed his aggrieved expression, asking somewhat awkwardly, "Where did she go?""It looked like she went to the restroom.""Then go back to the exit and wait for her." Hayden thought that certainly she would eventually come out."Mr. Hamilton, why don't you go and wait for her yourself? This seems insincere."'Do I really not want to go and wait? I was just photographed with her recently, and I don't know what she's wearing today. If we were caught together again, the attention we've just managed to avoid would come back,' Hayden thought to himself."Mr. Hamilton, it's probably because you're always so insincere that Mrs. Hamilton divorced you in the first place. You want to win her back, but you won't even get out of the car to wait for her. You're just—"Hayden closed his eyes, pinching his throbbing temples, his voice thin. "I asked you to wait for her,

    Even when picking up Wyneth at the airport today, he thought Hayden was doing it as a favor to Benedict. But now, seeing the expression on Wyneth's face and her complete disinterest in Hayden, he realized that things might not be as he had imagined.As expected, Hayden spoke first. "I appreciate you coming here," he said, his voice a little hoarse and weary. He had stayed up all night with Benedict and had not rested during the day, rushing to the office to handle matters before heading to the airport. At this moment, his dark eyes still showed traces of red.Wyneth leaned against the seat, gazing out the window, and replied indifferently, "It has nothing to do with you. I'm here for Grandpa..." She caught herself and corrected, "I mean, for Mr. Hamilton Sr."Hayden's eyes darkened, knowing that she was trying to distance herself from him. He swallowed but remained silent.In the front, Ronnie and Dexter listened to their conversation, feeling extremely uncomfortable. The tension w

    In front of Hayden, Wyneth did not seem to hold back, speaking candidly. She did not care about Hayden's feelings, nor did she worry about embarrassing him in front of his assistant and driver."So, it was a misunderstanding?" Bruce, a man with a rather cold demeanor, did not pry any further and simply asked, "Where are you now?""Acrofburg. I have some matters to deal with, and then I'll come to see you.""Alright."After hanging up, the car fell into a heavy silence. Hayden's face darkened like a storm cloud, while Wyneth leaned back nonchalantly as if nothing had just happened. Hayden glanced at her, his icy lips parting as if to speak, but then hesitating.As he prepared to say something, Wyneth seemed to sense it and said dismissively, "I won't cooperate with you, so don't bother."Hayden's brow furrowed slightly."Explaining things to your grandpa and calming him down so he doesn't get angry is your responsibility. Since we're divorced, I have no obligation to help you wit

    "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
