Love's Redemption Chapter 141
I didn't even know why I felt like crying—my heart felt heavy, like it was too full.Maybe it was because, in this apartment that had been so empty without my parents, someone was finally showing me some care again.Or maybe it was because Hayden just got me. He knew that even though I'd left the amusement park project behind, my heart was still tangled up in it.I kept staring at the note over and over. Finally, I took it down and walked out of the bathroom. That's when I saw it—a thermal container and a plate with a fried egg sitting on the small dining table in the kitchen.At that moment, I pressed the note to my chest, and the tears I'd been holding back started to spill over.Hayden had made breakfast for me. I couldn't just ignore that, so after eating, I sent him a quick message: [Thank you.]Two simple words, but I couldn't take his kindness for granted.As soon as I hit send, I started messing with the trinkets I'd bought at the night market yesterday. But before I cou
Love's Redemption Chapter 142
Sometimes, you just had to cut through the mess before it swallowed you whole.I really hoped Hayden could be the one to finally sever my ties with Jace for good.After hanging up on Gavin, I got back to tidying up my apartment, trying to distract myself. The pink blanket Hayden had used last night was folded neatly on the bed.I couldn't help but laugh as I pictured him wrapped up in that pink blanket.Life was going to throw a bunch of challenges our way, but these little random moments of happiness? They made everything worth it.Even though Gavin's news should've made me anxious, I weirdly felt calm. I was actually ready to wait for the call from my new job, even if it was to let me go.But I cleaned my tiny apartment, made sure every corner was spotless, and even took care of the plants on the balcony—still, my phone stayed completely silent.Finally, I brewed some tea and curled up in the rocking chair on the balcony with a book. That's when I heard voices from outside.C
Love's Redemption Chapter 143
Just as Lena and I were having a great conversation, I heard a door open and close across the hall. Ms. Brown had mentioned a new tenant was moving in today, so I figured my new neighbor had finally arrived."Do you think I should introduce myself? You know, just in case something like last night happens again. It might be easier to ask for help," I asked Lena."If your new neighbor's a guy and you go knocking on his door right after he moves in, he might think you're either way too friendly or, worse, a total creep," Lena said, making me laugh."Really?" I asked."Really," she confirmed.Alright, I guess I'll just wait for a random run-in.You'd think I'd bump into someone living right across the hall, but nope. For the next two days, I didn't see the new neighbor even once, and Hayden didn't show up either.So, the hero saved the day once and then just dipped, not caring if that blind date guy might come back for round two?Yeah, that definitely knocked Hayden down a peg in m
Love's Redemption Chapter 144
There was no response on the other end, just the sound of the call disconnecting.Even though the door in front of me hadn't opened yet, I knew I'd guessed right.A moment later, the door swung open, and there stood Hayden, dressed in gray loungewear.So, my new neighbor was Hayden.So, the past few days, it wasn't like he hadn't been around—he was literally living right across from me.He wasn't pulling late shifts anymore; instead, he was coming here early, staying in that apartment, quietly watching over me. But even though he was just across the hall, he hadn't said a single word to me.And now it all clicked—he must've decided to rent this place when he was fixing my pipes.When I saw him, everything finally made sense."Come in," Hayden said calmly, not even a hint of embarrassment for getting caught.Honestly, there was nothing wrong with him renting the place; I was the one making a big deal out of it. But still, I couldn't bring myself to just say, "Hey."Instead of
Love's Redemption Chapter 145
My heart pounded like crazy. "I already told you, we can't happen. If this is how you feel, we should stop pretending to be a couple. I'll find someone else."As soon as those words slipped out, Hayden, who'd been standing there like a statue, suddenly took a big step toward me. "And who exactly do you plan on finding?"I instinctively stepped back, but he just kept coming, his voice low and intense. "Another blind date? Or maybe some friend?"The jealousy was practically dripping off him."Hayden Hart!" I tried to stop him, but I ended up backing right into a corner, nowhere left to go.Before I could say anything else, he was like, "Yeah, I have feelings for you. But you turned me down, so I'm not gonna push it."Wait, what?Now I was the one who was totally confused.Hayden's expression stayed serious, his eyes locked on mine. "I'm just your neighbor now. If you don't overthink things, there's nothing to worry about."I stood there, speechless.Was he saying I was the one
Love's Redemption Chapter 146
At five in the morning, I dragged myself out of bed for a yoga session, trying to get my head in the game for my new job.By six, after a quick shower and throwing on some clothes, I was about to make breakfast when my phone buzzed.It was a text from Hayden.[Breakfast's ready. Key's by your door.]I blinked at the message, totally caught off guard. Was he serious? I opened my door, and yep, there was the key. I grabbed it and headed over to Hayden's place, finding breakfast all set up.Last night, I didn't exactly have the willpower to turn him down. Plus, the food looked way too good to pass up, so I stayed and "helped" him finish dinner.But now, what was up with this breakfast? Was he trying to be my personal chef or something?It was cool having someone take care of me like this, but it also felt kinda weird to just go along with it.So I shot him a text: [What's this? Looking for a side hustle?]Hayden fired back: [Yep, just throw me some cash, whatever feels right.]H

I had always counted on my skills, not who I knew. Even back at RiverwaveCorp, where everyone saw me as the future CEO's fiancee, I refused to just be arm candy.After a week, I dug through all the marketing clients' files and checked out what the company had going on. I even took the time to see how each person in the marketing team was doing, focusing on what they'd pulled off over the past six months.Then I switched up the workload and introduced a new reward-and-punishment system based on incentives.They say a new boss comes in ready to shake things up, but I wasn't here to scare anyone. My goal was to inspire—to get everyone to give their best, not just for themselves but for the company too. It was also my way of paying back the company for taking a chance on me, despite the pressure Jace put on them.Just when I was feeling good about where the marketing department was headed, I got hit with some bad news. The team reported that all our current clients were suddenly trying
Love's Redemption Chapter 148
I checked my calendar—Matthew's birthday was in three days.Bringing up something heavy on his birthday? Yeah, no. I didn't want to mess up his big day, so I figured I'd visit him early, drop off a gift, and get it over with. That way, I wouldn't have to deal with it on his actual birthday.But before I could even get started, Wayne showed up.I hadn't seen him since we left the amusement park, and honestly, I almost didn't recognize him."Did I turn into a coal miner or something? You don't even know who I am?" Wayne joked, throwing in some classic self-deprecation to break the ice.Seeing him like this brought back memories of Hayden, and I couldn't help but smile. "If your mom saw you right now, she'd totally freak.""Nah, she actually said I look more manly now," Wayne replied, clearly trying to keep things light.I bit back a laugh. "You do have that whole rugged, manly vibe going on."Wayne rubbed his face, grinning. "Glad you noticed."Despite his attempts to keep thing

"Got it!" Lena responded cheerfully. She washed her hands before sitting back down, picking up the utensils Aaron had prepared for her, and diving into her dumpling-and-dipping-sauce breakfast combo. "Uncle, why aren’t you eating?" She had already eaten two dumplings before realizing he hadn’t touched any. "I’m not hungry." Three words. Which meant he hadn’t eaten yet. "There’s too much food. I can’t finish it all by myself. Eat some too," Lena said casually as she picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and held it up to his mouth. She did it so naturally—until she realized what she had just done. Aaron froze for a second, surprised by her gesture. The moment of hesitation made her realize too—wasn’t this kind of inappropriate? She was just about to pull her hand back when— He leaned in and took the dumpling straight into his mouth. Lena’s face flushed red in an instant. She hurriedly withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and focused on eating. Meanwhile, Aar
Love's Redemption Chapter 1012
She was shocked to see him here so early. Especially today—a day when everyone was celebrating the new year, spending time with their loved ones—and yet, he was here. With her. Lena wasn’t made of stone. She felt it. A warmth, an unspoken emotion that settled deep in her chest. "Uncle, why are you here so early?" She walked over, hands casually tucked into her coat pockets. "I didn’t want you to go hungry," Aaron replied simply, lifting the bag of food in his hand. He glanced at her break room. "Open the door." She unlocked the door and stepped inside, with him following close behind. Her break room was small—a single desk and chair, a narrow bed, and a tiny wardrobe. Nothing extra, nothing unnecessary. "Sit down, Uncle," she said naturally, settling onto the bed while motioning for him to take the chair. Aaron placed the food down and asked, "Did you sleep at all?" "I did," Lena replied. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she thought of that dream—and let o

"If it weren’t for my goddaughter, I wouldn’t even bother with you," Lena said, gently rocking the baby in her arms. "Right, little Aurora? Your godmother just adores you." "Come on, Aurora, it’s time to eat," Lena said as she carefully placed the baby in Keira's arms. Although it was her first time, Keira wasn’t embarrassed. She followed Lena’s instructions, trying to breastfeed for the first time. But the process was… painful. And since her posture was incorrect, neither of them got it right—Keira ended up covered in sweat from struggling, and her baby still hadn’t eaten properly. Panic set in. Anxiety crept up her spine. "What do I do?" Keira asked, her voice tight with unease. "It’s okay. This happens at first. Let’s transition with formula for now," Lena reassured Keira before glancing at Hayden, who had been standing there the whole time, watching anxiously—and sweating just as much as Keira was. "Go make your daughter a bottle," she told him. Hayden, the man wh

That conversation… Lena shuddered. Yeah, she had definitely come back too early. It was best to leave now before she ruined the mood for those two inside. Not wanting to hear any more, she quickly turned to leave—only to smack her leg against a nearby chair. The pain was real, but worse was the noise it made, drawing attention to her presence. Inside the room, Hayden—already feeling awkward from Keira's teasing—froze. The sound from outside made him even more uncomfortable. Keira couldn’t hold back her laughter. The moment Keira burst out laughing, however, pain shot through her lower abdomen. "Ah—ow!" Keira gasped. Hayden immediately panicked. "What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?" Hearing her cry, Lena rushed in as well. "What happened?" "I laughed too hard and pulled my stitches," Keira explained, gripping Hayden’s hand tightly. Lena glared at Keira. "You’re a mother now, and yet you’re still acting like a child. Do you have any idea what condition you’re in?"

"It’s fine. I can do it," Hayden said naturally as he picked up the basin and went to fetch warm water. The moment he stepped out, Lena turned to scold Keira. "You went through so much pain to give birth to his child. Why would you feel bad about letting him do something for you?" "It’s not that I feel bad—I just feel embarrassed," Keira whispered in defense. Lena rolled her eyes. "So dramatic." Keira shot her a glare in return. "Just wait until it’s your turn. When your husband has to handle your private matters, you’ll understand how awkward it is." The moment the words left Keira's mouth, she saw Lena’s face turn red. Lena quickly hugged the baby and turned away. But Keira caught it. Something was off. "Wait… why are you blushing?" Keira asked suspiciously. "I am not blushing," she denied immediately. What Keira didn’t know was that her words had triggered the memory of Lena's ridiculous dream—where she had been lying on the delivery bed, cursing Aaron while gi
Love's Redemption Chapter 1008
The moment she finished cursing, Lena jolted awake. She sat there, dazed. What kind of ridiculous dream was that? She had assisted in delivering countless babies before, but this was the first time she had ever dreamed of giving birth herself. And not only that—she had dreamed of giving birth to Aaron’s child? That was beyond outrageous. Absolutely absurd! What a way to start the new year. That dream was anything but beautiful. Lena ran a hand down her face, shaking off the lingering unease. She quickly got up, poured herself a glass of water to calm down, and then left the break room. Back in the hospital room, Hayden was feeding Keira. Keira was perfectly capable of eating on her own, but he insisted on feeding her, saying that she was in a special period and should be treated like a queen. That this was the time to learn how to be spoiled properly. Fine. If this was how he wanted to make up for the suffering she endured giving birth to their daughter, she’d give

Keira looked at Lena and smiled as she followed up on Hayden’s words. "You’re family. It’s different." Lena shot her a subtle glare before stuffing the red envelope into her pocket and saying, "Give me the rest. I’ll hand them out for you later." Hayden passed her the prepared stack of red envelopes, and as she took them, she asked, "What about the other departments?" Hayden and Aaron exchanged a glance and chuckled. "Of course. Every medical staff member in this hospital gets one." "President Hart, you’re too generous," Lena said, giving him a thumbs-up. With that, she took the envelopes and left. Aaron glanced at the time. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back now." "Mm. Happy New Year!" Hayden said, offering his holiday wishes. "Happy New Year to your whole family," Aaron replied, adding a few extra words that made both Hayden and me instinctively turn toward the baby in the bassinet. From today onward, we were officially a family of three. Outside the h

When Keira returned to the hospital room, she was greeted by a sight that made her pause. The room was decorated with fresh flowers and balloons, and beside her bed, there was a small cart filled with various gift boxes. The atmosphere was so festive that if someone walked in, they might have thought it was a birthday party rather than a postpartum recovery room. "What’s all this?" Lena asked on Keira's behalf. "A reward for my wife," Hayden answered, his hand still holding Keira's as he gazed at her with deep affection. "She went through so much. This is my way of thanking her." Keira smiled faintly. "I don’t need any of this." "Whether you need it or not is one thing. Giving it to you is my choice," Hayden said, pressing a kiss onto Keira's fingertips. "Even if everything I have already belongs to you, I still want to give you more." "Such a loving husband—honestly, what more could a woman ask for?" Lena teased before patting Keira's hospital bed. "But if President Hart r
Love's Redemption Chapter 1005
Elder Mitchell wasn’t buying it. "That just means you guys didn’t really want to give anything. If you truly wanted to, there’s no such thing as a gift that can’t be delivered." The two old men started bickering again, but Hayden ignored them. Instead, he kept his eyes on the infant bathing room. Before long, the nurse finished bathing the baby and carried her out. Hayden reached out to take her, but the two elders immediately moved to get closer. He blocked them without hesitation. "Don’t you know old people’s eyes are toxic? You shouldn’t be staring at her for too long." Elder Hart: "…" Elder Mitchell: "…" With that, Hayden carried the baby and walked away. The two old men trailed after him, hoping to catch another glimpse, but Hayden wasn’t about to give them the chance. "Congratulations," Aaron, who had been standing nearby, offered his well wishes. "It’s a daughter. Take a look," Hayden said, his pride practically radiating off him. Aaron lowered his gaze to the
