"It's me!"A familiar voice echoed down the hallway.I grabbed the railing, coming to a sudden stop. All the tension drained out of me in an instant.A second later, I turned around and saw Hayden standing there, half-hidden in the shadows.The awkwardness from earlier still hung in the air, thick and uncomfortable. I didn't know what to say, so I went with annoyed—always a safe move. "Do you even realize how creepy you look just standing there like that?"He just grunted. That one sound.God, it was frustrating. He had no idea how cold and dismissive that little "mm" came off, and it drove me insane.I was ready to snap at him again, but then he spoke, his voice low and soft. "It won't happen again."That shut me up.I pulled out my keys, turning to unlock my door. Just as the key slid into the lock, his voice came again, low and quiet. "I had the wrong idea tonight. It won't happen again."Wait, what?I froze, glancing back, but he was already slipping into his half-open d

I chuckled and nodded. "Just trying to catch up on all the company stuff as fast as I can.""I get it, but you're coming in way too early. You know we don't do overtime, right?" Ron joked.I smiled a little. "Yeah, it's voluntary.""That's why you're a department head. If everyone was as dedicated as you, OceanixCorp would be unstoppable." His flattery was almost laughable, but with Ron, it was hard to tell if he was joking or serious, so I never really took it to heart."But seriously," he added, his tone shifting, "the company can't run on your back alone. I've noticed how hard you've been working, and I've already let the higher-ups know. The boss said no more of this early morning routine. If you burn out, it'd be a real loss for the company."So, just like that, Ron had made sure I couldn't sneak in those early hours anymore.But that was fine. I didn't feel the need to dodge Hayden anymore. He hadn't left breakfast at my door for the past few days, so I figured he'd finally
Love's Redemption Chapter 174
The mysterious big boss of OceanixCorp—always out of sight, yet somehow knew everything.Jace's anger flipped to Ron in an instant. "No deal? Do you even know who you're talking to? Do you know who I am?"Right then, Jace was the perfect example of an arrogant, new-money jerk.Ron, casually sipping his water like some old pro, smiled that polite but totally patronizing smile. "Oh, my boss knows exactly who you are. That's why he's not going forward with this deal."It was barely anything, but it hit Jace hard.Jace looked like he was gonna explode. His eyes narrowed, and he practically hissed, "Who the hell is your boss? Does he not want to do business in Seavora anymore?""Mmm, my boss said even if he couldn't do business in Seavora, he still wouldn't work with you," Ron's voice was smooth, but there was a sharpness beneath the polite surface.Jace's face turned an ugly shade of purple. "Fine! Just wait. And tell your so-called boss the same.""Will do," Ron replied. "Oh, and
Love's Redemption Chapter 175
"Do you have any information about the big boss?" If I couldn't meet him, at least knowing his name would clear up some of the mystery.Ron glanced up at me. "Getting curious about the boss now?""Yeah, he's way too mysterious. It makes people naturally curious," I admitted.Ron finished grinding the coffee beans and brought them up to his nose for a sniff. "Smells good."Then, looking at me, he offered, "How about I brew you a cup?""No, thanks." I didn't have time to drink coffee. My curiosity about the elusive CEO of this company had already taken over my thoughts.Ron, undeterred, lifted the jar of freshly ground coffee beans toward me. "These are from the boss himself. You sure you don't want to try some?""I'd rather meet him in person than drink the coffee he sent," I said bluntly, voicing my true thoughts.Ron just laughed, not saying a word.His laugh totally threw me off. "What's so funny? Did I say something ridiculous, or am I just missing the joke here?"He shook

That really gave me a scare.Demi's voice had my heart racing instantly. "What happened? Take a breath and tell me what's going on.""Some guys showed up at the amusement park looking for Mr. Hart. A whole group of them, covered in tattoos—scary looking."Hearing that actually made me relax a bit.At least it wasn't some other serious accident.From the way she described it, it sounded like just some punks trying to start trouble with Hayden.Even though Demi was clearly freaked out, and yeah, the guys sounded pretty intimidating, I wasn't exactly worried.Because Hayden? He could handle himself.That unshakable faith I had in him—it kind of confused me too. But deep down, I just knew no one could hurt him."Have they done anything yet?" I asked."No, not yet. They haven't found Mr. Hart, but they're asking around. It won't be long before they track him down," Demi's voice was shaky. "What should we do? Should we call the police?"I thought for a second. "Go find Mr. Hart an
Love's Redemption Chapter 177
The words felt weirdly familiar—like something I'd just heard earlier today. Not straight from Ron, but him quoting the big boss.My eyes drifted to Hayden, and for a second, I wondered. But from what I knew about him, there was no way he had any connection to the mysterious CEO."Tough guy, huh?" The bald leader let out this cold, almost amused laugh. "Let's see what being tough costs you today."He cracked his neck, each pop sounding like a warning, before giving the command. "Smash it!"In seconds, his crew started wrecking the amusement park. But Hayden didn't move an inch. I knew why.He wasn't scared. He was calculating. These guys weren't just wrecking the park for fun—this was a direct hit on Jace's business. The stakes just got real.Right on cue, the amusement park's security team rushed in. They might not have cared about stepping in for Hayden, but when it came to protecting the park? That was their job.Even though the intruders were tough, they were outnumbered, an

"What's going on here?"Jace's voice sliced through the air, icy and commanding.Gone was the shameless guy who'd been messing with me back at OceanixCorp.People always said women could switch their attitudes in a snap, but guys? They were no different.The head of security, still looking freaked out from whatever went down earlier, rushed over and explained everything, his voice shaky.Jace's gaze locked onto Hayden. "So, all of this is because of Mr. Hart's personal grudge?"I could already tell Jace was gonna twist this to come after Hayden, and I had a bad feeling about it.But Hayden didn't even flinch. Jace's lips curled into this smug, mocking smile. "That right, Mr. Hart?""Yeah," Hayden said.Jace bent down, picking up a broken piece of debris from the ground. "So, how do you think we should handle this?""What do you want?" Hayden clearly saw through Jace's intentions.I stayed quiet. Saying anything now would only make things worse.If it weren't for me, Jace wo
Love's Redemption Chapter 179
Wayne, clearly in the loop, glanced at Hayden before saying, "Mr. Hart will handle this. His personal stuff won't mess with his work. Our security team also dropped the ball today, so we can't blame him entirely."Jace's face turned an alarming shade of purple, like he couldn't believe Wayne was backing Hayden and ignoring his authority."I'm in charge of the park now, so I'll deal with it," Wayne added, basically telling Jace to stay in his lane.Jace looked ready to explode. If anyone else had said that, they'd be fired on the spot. But it was Wayne—his brother—so he had to hold back."Fine," Jace spat through gritted teeth. "But if this happens again, both of you will pay for it."He stormed off.As soon as he was gone, I let out a long breath of relief.Wayne turned to Hayden. "You'll need to submit a report about what happened. I'll handle the park repairs, but you or your company will cover the costs."His tone was firm but fair, keeping personal feelings out of it.Hayd

"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
Love's Redemption Chapter 1010
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
