Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right Chapter 33
But lying on that hard bed, my mind was a chaotic mess, with no trace of sleepiness.Eventually, I picked up my phone and opened my messaging app. There were messages from Demi and Gavin.Demi: [Keira, today was insanely busy, but I finished all the tasks you assigned. Remember to give me some dragées as a reward tomorrow. Congrats on your wedding, and may you be happy forever.]I smirked at the message and didn't respond.Gavin: [Ms. Kay, please don't take this the wrong way about Mr. Johnston. It's super important you guys don't have any issues, or it'll all be my fault.]I didn't bother replying. Instead, I opened my social media, found a selfie of my shadow at an amusement park, and posted it with the caption: [Happy vacation!]Afterwards, I purged my profile of anything related to Jace—a classic move after a breakup.Since we weren't a thing anymore, it was best to clear out anything about us to avoid any bitterness and self-pity. By the time I finished, it was 3 a.m., my e

I didn't expect Macy to play matchmaker for me. Hayden's cold, indifferent face flashed in my mind.Recalling his direct and emotionless refusal to switch rooms, a playful mood overtook me, and I responded with a quick, "Sure."I agreed, but it was just a casual remark; I didn't take it seriously.After breakfast, I borrowed a bicycle from Macy and spent the day riding around Chiverton.When I returned to the rented house, it was already evening, and I had a sketchbook in addition to what I had left with in the morning.I loved drawing. Before my parents passed away, they had enrolled me in dance classes, drawing classes, and even harp lessons. These all ended when they were gone, but drawing continued because it was simple: all I needed was a pen and paper.Today, besides exploring, I completed a drawing of the current Chiverton. My parents had always wanted to come back and see the place, but since they couldn't, I'd paint it and burn it as an offering to them."Keira, why are

Hearing Macy call, I tossed my phone aside and yelled, "Coming!"Kicking off my shoes, I slid into my slippers and opened the door. The first thing I saw was Hayden filling up a bunch of white buckets in the courtyard.He hoisted the full buckets, his shoulder muscles showing even through his shirt. Talk about strength."Why are you getting so much water? Is there a water outage or something?" I asked as I walked over.Macy glanced at my slippers and discreetly rolled her eyes.Hayden stayed quiet, so she answered for him, "Just in case."Then she patted Hayden. "I'm making fish chowder tonight. You two go buy some fish—wild-caught if you can. Also, get some cilantro, garlic sprouts, potatoes, and clams."It was obvious she just wanted to get us out of the house to talk.I knew my slippers weren't the best choice, but going back to change felt awkward."Go change your shoes," Hayden said.Now it would be even more embarrassing, so I forced a smile. "It's fine."Hayden didn't

I never thought in my wildest dreams that a guy I'd only met twice would want to marry me.Meanwhile, the guy I'd loved for ten years was secretly seeing someone else.After a moment of shock, I smiled at Hayden. "Isn't this a bit too sudden?"Hayden stayed serious. "Isn't dating supposed to lead to marriage? Since you don't want to date, let's just get married."'He has a point. But seriously, who casually suggests marriage to someone they barely know?'This might work in fiction, but this was real life.I raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Do you propose this quickly to every girl you meet?"The setting sun cast long shadows, and Hayden's shadow wrapped around me. "You're the first."A tickle of discomfort rose in my throat. "We... don't know each other well."Hayden didn't say anything more, and we stood there in silence. Heat crept over my skin, and even my nose started to sweat.As I nervously scratched at the wall behind me, trying to come up with something to say, Hayden br

I nodded slightly. "That's a good suggestion. I'll think about it.""Seriously consider it," Lena said, pausing for a moment. "Rea, the best way to get over someone and a past relationship is to start a new one quickly.""Alright, love guru, I get it," I replied, hanging up the phone and flopping onto my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.I heard Hayden's footsteps outside. I recognized them instantly—steady and strong.Soon, I heard the faucet running and Macy mumbling, "Why are you alone? Where's Keira?"I didn't catch Hayden's response, but he did say, "Don't add cilantro to the fish chowder."Hearing this, I laughed. But as I laughed, tears started to fall.In these years with the Johnston family, I had been eating cilantro, though I never ate it when I was with my parents.There's a saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Although I moved into the Johnston residence as Jace's fiancée, and Lindey said I was like her daughter, I knew deep down that I wasn't a Johnston

That night, I slept like a rock until some noise outside yanked me awake.It wasn't Hayden talking, but some woman with a local accent.From the sound of it, she wasn't young. Younger women usually have soft, clear voices, while older women's voices are heavier and rougher.I had a knack for recognizing people by their voices, yet I couldn't tell that the man I had loved for ten years was actually a jerk.They say you only truly forget someone when you stop thinking about them all the time. Clearly, I wasn't there yet. I still found myself thinking about Jace. Even if it wasn't love anymore, it was resentment. I couldn't help but think of him now and then.I stayed in bed, straining to hear the conversation outside."Macy, where's Hayden?" the woman asked."He left early this morning," Macy replied, the sound of running water in the background."He left, huh? I thought he was still asleep," the woman laughed lightly."Molly, why do you care if Hayden's up or not? He doesn't li

I grabbed my toothbrush and a cup, filled it with water, and started brushing my teeth. I didn't look at Molly the whole time, but she didn't take her eyes off me. She checked me out from head to toe."Keira, this is Molly Ruth," Macy said, introducing us. "Molly, meet Keira Kay."With my mouth full of toothpaste, I nodded at Molly.She had a round face but wasn't overweight. She wore a floral dress and had clearly put effort into her makeup."Molly', she's the one you wanted to meet. Didn't I tell you? Look how pretty she is," Macy said, scrubbing some clothes by hand.When Molly and I locked eyes, I caught a flicker of insecurity in her gaze, but she wouldn't show it. "She's younger, of course she's pretty. I wasn't bad at her age either."Macy sneered, and Molly rolled her eyes. Their silent feud felt like I was watching a comedy.As I finished brushing my teeth, Molly spoke up, "Keira, are you visiting relatives here or just traveling?""Traveling," I said, turning on the t

I looked up and saw Hayden's rugged, chiseled face. Not only did he catch me, but he also snagged the watermelon from my hand.This surreal scene, straight out of a TV drama, was actually happening to me.He steadied me and let go, but the second I moved, pain shot through my ankle.Grabbing his arm, I said, "It hurts..."Following my gaze, he saw my ankle already turning red. "It's sprained?"Hayden was really close, his deep voice sounding especially sexy and comforting.I nodded, and the next second, he handed me the watermelon and scooped me up in his arms.In all the years I was with Jace, he never held me like this. Hayden carrying me like his princess made my heart race, and even my nose started to sweat.That was my thing; whenever I got nervous or excited, my nose would sweat.I heard gasps around us—it was the neighbors and passersby. In a small town like this, such behavior between a guy and a girl wasn't common.Hayden seemed unfazed by the onlookers, carrying me
