Hearing that, I let out a quiet sigh of relief. Thank God, Hayden wasn't going to do anything reckless."Yeah, could you please see him out?" I said, turning away. As I walked off, it hit me—I had no clue what his job was here. But judging by the way he carried himself, he had to be at least some kind of engineer or something.Brad, totally unbothered by Hayden's presence, kept up with his sleazy act. "Keira, I'm looking forward to seeing you this weekend. You're the best gift I could ask for."Before I could even process his words, Hayden brushed past me and stepped right up to him. "It's time for you to go," he said firmly.Brad didn't even flinch, just grinned at me like Hayden hadn't said a thing. "Keira, I'll wait for you after work. Let's grab lunch, okay?"I froze in my tracks, wanting to knock that smug look off his face.But before I could do anything, Hayden's voice cut through the air, ice-cold. "Get out."Brad, still as cocky as ever, sneered, "Who the hell are you?
Love's Redemption Chapter 272
Hayden sounded polite enough, using "please" and everything, but it still felt like a command from a superior.And I knew this wasn't about work. Yesterday, he'd grilled me about those flowers from Brad, and now he'd just seen this whole scene go down firsthand.Was he planning another interrogation?It hit me then—having a boyfriend is basically inviting trouble. If there were nothing between us, I could've just brushed Brad off and been done with it. No drama.But now? I still had to deal with Hayden.Ugh, it's true—no guy is ever completely chill.With everyone's eyes on us, I couldn't exactly refuse. So, I reluctantly followed Hayden to his office.It wasn't far from mine and was pretty minimalistic, except it was packed with all kinds of gadgets. Besides the standard desk, chair, and computer, there were tons of electronic equipment everywhere.I had no idea what most of them were for, but all that gear definitely looked like the kind of setup that screams seven-figure sal

Seeing that intense look on his face, I took a good look at him. Mature, confident, and yeah, pretty handsome.Guys his age had that whole grown-up vibe going on. Way more appealing than, like, Brad.Older guys were totally in right now.It was all over social media—women of all ages, whether they were single, married, or even young girls, were into mature men like Hayden.But him getting all worked up over the 'old man' thing? Clearly, he didn't get that his age was kind of a flex.I stepped closer. "The truth? You're in your thirties. So yeah, you're not exactly young, especially compared to that kid from earlier who's barely eighteen. So it's not weird for him to call you 'old man' and—""You really think I'm old?" Hayden cut me off before I could finish.He looked tense and genuinely upset.Wow, I never thought he'd be this sensitive about his age.I tried to clarify, "I just meant you're not, like, young-young, but I didn't—"Didn't get to finish before he cut me off aga

I didn't go to the lunch because Lena had already made plans with me.She mentioned that her senior from college was coming to their hospital as a guest lecturer. She'd talked to him and set up a meeting to discuss Yuna's treatment plan."Then I'll bring Hayden along," I said. Since Yuna was his sister, it made sense for him to be there and hear everything firsthand.After all, the final call on whether to go through with the surgery would be his.Lena hesitated, and I could tell something was off. "Is there a problem? Is it inconvenient?""It's better if you come alone. He's only got a short break, and we'll have to keep it brief," Lena explained.***I went to the hospital alone with Yuna's medical records. Lena was waiting for me and, after skimming through the documents, she led me toward the lecture hall.As we walked, she filled me in. "He's super busy. After the lecture, he's got a packed schedule, so you'll probably only get four or five minutes with him."I raised an

I meant it. Even though I had no medical background, his explanations made it easy to follow and appreciate just how impressive modern medicine is."What's up with you? You look like you've been up to no good," Lena teased, ignoring my praise and zoning in on my state.No surprise there—being a gynecologist gave her a sixth sense for this stuff. She didn't just notice something was off; she pretty much guessed why.I pouted. "Just a little worn out."Lena's eyes went wide. "You... You actually did it? With who?"The first part made sense, but those last two words were a bit much.I glanced around, thankful no one was nearby. Biting my lip, I replied, "Who do you think?"Lena squinted at me for a moment. "Hayden?"I didn't say anything, which was answer enough. Lena nodded slowly, then shook her head. "I can't believe it. Jace was with you for ten years and never got there, but Hayden swoops in and seals the deal?"I was stunned into silence."What happened? Did you make the f

"Lena, didn't you say you had something to discuss with me?" Nate broke the silence first.Lena quickly pulled herself together. "Yes, this is Keira, the friend I mentioned earlier. The girl, Yuna, who needs the surgery is her sister-in-law."Wow. With that statement, Lena basically confirmed my relationship with Hayden, like it was already set in stone.Nate nodded at me, so I handed over Yuna's medical records.He glanced through them for a moment, then nodded again. "I've reviewed her case before, and what's in the records matches."The surgery is feasible, and the sooner, the better. I've already submitted a heart donor request. "Once a donor becomes available, we can proceed with the transplant.""You mean we should admit Yuna to the hospital now and be ready for the transplant anytime?" Lena asked, shifting into professional mode."Yes, the sooner, the better," Nate replied, his gaze lingering on Lena.Was it just my imagination, or was there a softness in his eyes? And w

"It's nothing, just thought we could grab dinner," Nate said, totally straightforward.Lena looked a little stunned and didn't reply right away.Just when I thought she was going to blow it again, probably to be all polite or whatever, she surprised me with a simple, "Okay."Yes!She wasn't completely clueless. At least she wasn't about to push away a hot guy like Nate.I mentally high-fived Lena, already imagining how amazing her night would be with her long-time crush.But then Retta chimed in, "It's been ages since we all hung out after graduation. We should definitely have a proper reunion."Wait, what?!Talk about an overenthusiastic third wheel.I'd been there before; it was obvious Retta didn't want Lena and Nate to have any alone time.Lena was finally being brave, and now this uninvited guest was trying to weasel her way in. Even if Lena wanted to go along with it, I wasn't about to let that happen.I was just about to jump in when Lena beat me to it. "Retta, Nate a

"What are you even saying? I'm SURE Nate likes you," I said, totally convinced.I could see it in the way he looked at Lena—there was definitely a spark. But she just couldn't see it. Probably because she'd been crushing on him forever and convinced herself he was way out of her league.Honestly, that was just her self-doubt talking.The only way she was going to believe it was if Nate made a move himself. I could hype her up all day, but it wouldn't matter unless he did something obvious."Alright, I'm heading out. But listen, you have to look amazing tonight. And make sure you switch your shift, okay? No excuses. You can't bail," I said, sounding more like her mom than I meant to.She rolled her eyes, laughing. "My mom doesn't even stress over me this much."Yeah, probably because her mom had no clue how hard she'd been crushing on this guy."Good luck, Lena." I gave her a fist bump. "I'm out.""Wait, don't go just yet. Come with me to my office first," Lena said, grabbing my

Lena: “...” Who said that just because someone delivers vegetables, the garden is guaranteed to have a bountiful harvest? She glanced at Ron, silently signaling for help. He immediately understood—but instead of refusing on her behalf, he reached out, took her hand, and assisted his grandmother in slipping the bracelet onto her wrist. Lena: “...” She had wanted him to help her reject it! Why was he helping her wear it instead? "If you don’t accept it, my grandma will think you don’t like me and will scold me," Ron whispered, his fingers gently pressing against her hand. Then he lowered his voice even more and added, "Be good." His words weren’t loud, but they were just enough for everyone to hear. Lena shuddered. The sheer cheesiness of it sent a wave of goosebumps across her skin. Left with no other choice, she forced out a polite, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma." As she spoke, she unintentionally lifted her gaze—and locked eyes with Aaron. Bright sunlight streamed
Love's Redemption Chapter 978
Lena didn’t need to turn around to recognize the voice—she had just heard it last night. "Aunt Xandra," Lena greeted Xandra, who approached her excitedly. "It really is you!" Xandra looked at Ron in surprise. "Cousin, so Lena is your girlfriend?" Ron raised an eyebrow. "Why is she calling you ‘Aunt Xandra’?" Xandra blushed slightly, and Lena explained, "She’s my uncle’s girlfriend." "Oh? What a coincidence. Looks like we’re about to become one big happy family," Ron teased, his tone laced with amusement. Lena hadn’t expected to run into Xandra there. Fortunately, her relationship with Ron was fake—otherwise, things would get complicated. If she called Xandra "Aunt Xandra" while Xandra called Ron "Cousin," their family connections would become a mess. "Your uncle will be here soon. I’m waiting for him," Xandra said cheerfully, making Lena’s head ache. Why did she keep running into Aaron wherever she went? There was no avoiding him. "Well, you wait here. We’re heading i

Perhaps he had made the announcement and left early to avoid any awkward encounters. Lena’s mind spun with possibilities as she made her way downstairs and into the courtyard. "Good morning, my dearest Grandpa, Grandma, and Mother." Their moods were bright, so she decided to match their cheerfulness. "Awake already?" her grandmother responded first. Lena ran over to her, wrapping her arms around her shoulders and planting a kiss. "Grandma, you smell amazing." "Of course I do! I used the perfume Xandra gave me—it’s from the Little Carriage collection. Isn’t it divine?" her grandmother replied with a proud smile. The "Little Carriage" her grandmother referred to was a designer perfume brand. Her grandmother had always loved dressing up, doing her makeup, and using YSL international perfumes. Xandra clearly knew how to cater to her tastes. No doubt Aaron had told her exactly what to buy. Lena moved over to Briana, wrapping her in a hug as well and lowering her voice to ask

Lena had been feigning sleep so perfectly, yet who would’ve thought Aaron would pull a move like this? What was she supposed to do now? She didn’t dare move. Any movement would make things even more awkward. So, she kept up the act, letting Aaron carry her upstairs and open her bedroom door. Her face was pressed against his chest, so she discreetly opened her eyes, but all she could see was his white shirt and catch the clean, refreshing scent of pinewood on him. Yes, pinewood. It wasn’t the scent of makeup, nor was it perfume. Did this mean he hadn’t hugged Xandra? That nothing intimate had happened between them? The thought barely crossed her mind before she mentally rolled her eyes at herself. What are you thinking? If he hugged or kissed his girlfriend, wouldn’t that be completely normal? Lena, come to your senses! This is your Uncle Aaron. Whether he’s part of the Ace family or not, he’s still your Uncle Aaron. Uncle Aaron… As she repeated the title in her mind
Love's Redemption Chapter 975
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you spouting?" Briana gave Lena a light slap on the arm. "Mom, if I marry Uncle Aaron, then he won’t have a reason to leave, right? Isn’t that a good thing?" Lena continued to test the waters. "Good thing? What good is there in that? Do you have any idea how many people would gossip about you, me, and the Ace family if that happened?" Briana’s concerns mirrored Lena’s own fears. "But Uncle Aaron has already stated that he’s no longer part of the Ace family. Who would still have anything to say?" Lena argued, trying to persuade her mother. Briana shook her head. "People will always find something to gossip about. Even if he’s not part of the Ace family, they’ll still wag their tongues." "Didn’t you always say, ‘Walk your own path and let others talk’? Let them say what they want. It’s not like we’re losing a piece of flesh," Lena quipped, spouting her own brand of twisted logic. Briana finally realized something was off. She twisted Lena’s

"I'm just amazed that pregnancy has made you smarter. Most people say pregnancy makes women forgetful for three years," Hayden teased Keira with a rare grin. Keira gave him a gentle kick. "Did Aaron ask you to pass on his thoughts?" "No, it's just what I think," Hayden replied earnestly. He would never lie to her. Keira sighed softly. "Love between two people isn’t something outsiders can meddle with. But maybe Aaron’s actions today will help Lena realize what’s in her heart." "Let’s wait and see," Hayden said, finishing the massage before applying lotion and stretch mark cream to Keira's belly. "Baby, give Dad a little kick," Hayden said, stroking her belly. Right after he spoke, the baby really did kick. Keira couldn’t help but laugh; this little one was so obedient to their dad. "Just a few kicks, alright? Mommy needs to sleep, so don’t bother her," Hayden instructed. The baby obediently kicked a few more times before settling down. Keira was curious. "I think our ba

Keira stared at the messages Lena had just sent her. She could sense something was up, so she immediately called her, but Lena declined the call. Instead, she replied with another message: [I’m at my grandparents’ house, and my mother is here too.] Keira had no choice but to keep texting her: [Did Aaron upset you today?] Lena sent Keira a string of ellipses. That endless row of dots made her even more curious. [What happened exactly?] Keira pressed. Lena replied: [He brought his girlfriend home today.] After sending that message, she also sent Keira a screenshot of a payment receipt and added: [Spot the highlight.] Keira zoomed in on the image and finally noticed the note: Name Change Fee. [Wow, how generous! 600,000 dollars just for a name change fee. What did you call her to make it worth that much?] Keira was shocked. Lena then sent Keira a voice message, explaining the situation in detail. At the end, she added: [He used to tell me how long he’d liked me, but now he’s

"Aaron, I want to add Lena on WhatsApp." Xandra actually asked Aaron, gently tugging on his sleeve with a delicate and endearing expression that made her look pitifully lovable. Aaron glanced at her, his gaze filled with a warmth Lena was all too familiar with. Once upon a time, he had looked at her the same way. Now, he could look at other women like that. So, never believe a man when he says things like, I've liked you for years. "If you want to add her, then add her," Aaron's approval made Xandra look at him with delight. Lena, however, truly didn’t want to add her. She and Xandra weren’t close, and they likely wouldn’t ever be. Lena didn’t enjoy socializing with strangers, so she smiled faintly. "Aren’t you afraid I might tell her something about you, Uncle Aaron?" Aaron’s gaze turned cold and distant, his voice calm. "There’s nothing about me that Xandy can’t know." Ha! Lena sneered inwardly. If that were the case, why had he just warned her earlier? Double stand
Love's Redemption Chapter 971
Under the table, Lena felt her mother's foot nudge her—a clear signal: Let Xandra win. Lena gritted her teeth. Why was everyone fawning over a girlfriend who hadn’t even officially joined the family? Annoyed, she huffed inwardly. The more you tell me to lose, the harder I’ll fight to win. The game began, and Lena’s starting hand was exceptional—practically a heavenly draw. She was only one card away from winning while the others still struggled with mismatched cards. It seemed like an easy victory was in the cards for her. But then, as if under a spell, her luck took a sharp turn. None of the cards she needed showed up. Worse, every time she reached for a card, Xandra would intercept it with a call, blocking her progress entirely. As the rounds continued, even her mother, Briana, reached a ready hand, while Lena was still stuck with the same cards she started with. Soon, her grandmother joined the fray, and eventually, even Xandra declared readiness. Three players were now
