Chapter 284

So, he's feeling guilty, huh?

I guess no guy's ever really chill when another guy's in the picture. Seeing Hayden all nervous—it was kinda funny. He almost never looks like this. But I kept my face serious on purpose.

I stood there, staring at him, not saying a word.

Hayden's lips moved, like he wanted to say something, but he held back, unsure if he should.

This usually straightforward guy, hesitating like a kid who's been caught doing something wrong.

Then I turned to leave, tossing over my shoulder, "Grab my bag."

Hayden followed me all the way downstairs, looking way more relaxed now.

I threw the keys to Hayden. "You're driving."
