“Already calling me old on our first day?” Hayden teased with a smirk. Keira took a sip of the warm milk and replied playfully, “Oh, then I won’t call you that anymore.” “What do you plan to call me, then?” he asked, suddenly leaning closer. He remained standing, but his gaze locked onto hers. His dark eyes sparkled like starlight, so vivid that even her reflection in them seemed to glow. Without thinking, Keira tilted her head up and pressed her lips against his. Hayden froze, momentarily surprised by her boldness. But in the next instant, he placed his hands on the table to steady himself, lowering his body to meet her, making sure she didn’t tire herself as she gifted him this kiss. “Hayden, thank you,” Keira said softly after the kiss, voicing the words she hadn’t spoken earlier during the ceremony. “Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for accepting all of me, flaws and all, and loving me so deeply. Thank you for returning to me despite everything we’ve been
Love's Redemption Chapter 940
Whenever Lena wasn’t too busy, she’d come to Keira's café to learn how to make coffee and desserts. “Look at this! Doesn’t it look even better than yours?” Lena bragged, showing off her latest creation with a grin. As a teacher, Keira believed in encouragement over criticism. “The student surpasses the master. You’ve done great.” “I think so too,” she said, smirking. “If I ever lose my job, at least I’ll have a skill to fall back on.” Keira chuckled. “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you planning to steal my livelihood?” “A thriving industry isn’t built on one success—it flourishes when it’s full of competition,” she declared with her own brand of logic. She wasn’t wrong; no industry thrived with just one dominant player. “Teaching the apprentice only to starve the master,” Keira joked with a sigh. “No worries. If you go bankrupt, I’ll hire you for a ridiculously high salary to work for me,” she replied with mock seriousness. Keira gave her a thumbs-up. “Between the

Keira chuckled softly. After Hayden left, Lena leaned closer and teased, “Well done, Rea. You’ve mastered the art of taming a husband. When I find myself a man, you have to teach me.” “You’re learning to make coffee and desserts from me, and now you want lessons on husband-taming? Did you pay the tuition?” Keira teased, holding out her hand. “Look at you, being so stingy,” Lena said, swatting Keira's hand away. They started playing a game of slap hands, laughing like kids, when suddenly something fluttered down from above. Both of them froze mid-play and looked up. “It’s snowing!” they exclaimed together, joy lighting up their faces. Keira immediately turned toward the house and called out, “Hayden! Come quickly—it’s snowing!” He walked out, looking completely unsurprised. “Yes, I came back early just to watch the snow with you.” It was only then that Keira realized he had come home earlier than usual. Lena sighed dramatically. “Well, I’m off now. No third wheels allowe

Snow, perhaps, was the most romantic thing in the world. This long-overdue first snowfall drew everyone in Seavora out of their homes. Even the streets were bustling with more pedestrians than usual. Lena gazed out the car window at the swirling snowflakes, unable to tear her eyes away for even a second. It was breathtaking. Beyond the beauty of the snow itself, the sight of it falling evoked a sense of serenity, as if time had slowed, as if all the world’s troubles were swept away by the cascading snowflakes, leaving only purity and beauty behind. “Uncle, I want to go for a walk,” Lena said, feeling that simply admiring the snow from inside the car wasn’t enough. There was a pang of regret at the thought of wasting such a picturesque moment. “Alright, I’ll park up ahead,” Aaron replied. He had always been indulgent with her. Finding a parking space, Aaron stopped the car. Lena wasted no time, hopping out and running to the middle of the road, spinning in circles with her

James glanced at the rearview mirror before chuckling. “Alright, I’ll back up and head out.” “Drive along the edge,” Aaron said, giving him a look that clearly meant you can leave now. James let out a whistle. “Wish you success in winning the beauty’s heart.” He drove off slowly, but as he passed by Lena, he leaned his head out of the window. “Little sister, still remember me?” Lena rolled her eyes discreetly. He obviously recognized her but still chose to tease. That was just who he was. Though James and Aaron were like brothers, Lena wasn’t required to call him “Mister” like Aaron. James had made it clear he didn’t want to feel old, so he insisted she just call him “James.” “James,” Lena greeted without taking his teasing to heart. “Have fun, and don’t waste your uncle’s thoughtful gesture,” James said with his usual bluntness. Lena hadn’t overheard the earlier conversation between the two men and didn’t understand his comment, but she nodded anyway, waving goodbye as
Love's Redemption Chapter 944
Lena’s heart trembled slightly at Aaron’s words, but she pretended not to hear and busied herself with playing in the snow. Though she tried to conceal it, Aaron saw through her attempt. She was avoiding him, but he had no intention of letting her escape this time. Later, Lena received a call from her mother, Briana, just after finishing a surgery. “Mother dearest, what’s your command?” Lena answered cheerfully. “You’ve been staying with your uncle recently, haven’t you?” Briana asked. The question made Lena tense up. A bad feeling crept in. “Yes, why?” “You should know what your uncle has been up to lately, right?” Briana continued. Lena was confused, unable to follow. “Mrs. Lane, can you just say it directly? This suspense is making my blood pressure spike.” She had just stepped out of the operating theater and entered her break room. “Your uncle’s heart isn’t in the right place anymore,” Briana said with a heavy sigh. Lena froze for a moment. The phrasing was sharp

After hanging up the phone, Lena was restless for the rest of her shift. She’d never felt such an urge to return to Aaron’s residence, but today, she left work early and went straight there. However, the usually punctual Aaron was nowhere to be found. She called him. “Uncle, why aren’t you home?” “I’m at the old house,” he replied, which only made Lena more anxious. “Is Briana there too?” she asked. Aaron hummed in affirmation and then added, “If you have time, you should come over.” His words immediately reminded her of the time he had jokingly told her to be ready to perform emergency resuscitation. Given her grandparents’ age, they might not be able to handle this situation well. Being there in person to monitor things seemed like the best course of action. Lena rushed to the Ace family’s old home, where everyone was gathered: her grandparents, her parents, and even her father, Gabriel. Her parents sat on either side of her grandparents, likely to ensure nothing drasti
Love's Redemption Chapter 946
Lena was led by Aaron into the courtyard, where the old persimmon tree stood bare, save for a single stubborn leaf clinging on. Despite enduring heavy rains and countless cold winds, that lone leaf remained, defying nature—truly a resilient "leaf warrior." The chilly wind stirred, making the branches sway, and the air felt even colder. Lena’s heart pounded, and inexplicable sweat formed on her back despite the cold. A sense of nervousness and unease filled her. The hand Aaron had held felt warmer than her other hand. She clasped her hands together to feel that warmth. “Uncle, I’ve told you before, your actions will hurt Grandma and Grandpa.” Aaron didn’t respond. His deep, penetrating gaze fixed on her, burning with intensity. Lena avoided his eyes, instead focusing on the buttons of his coat. “You wanted to know the reason, didn’t you?” His melodious voice broke the silence above her. Her throat tightened, and her heartbeat quickened. “Uncle, no matter the reason, you sh

"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
Love's Redemption Chapter 1006
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
