Hayden felt extremely bitter. He did not want to get involved with Sonnet again, but it seemed like he was attracting what he feared. “Son…Sonnet?” He stuttered under the pressure of Maxwell’s icy gaze. “Mr. Gunn, there’s something I need to tell you. Shall we meet tonight?” There was a sense of urgency in Sonnet’s voice. Hayden glanced at Maxwell, whose expression had darkened completely. He immediately came up with an excuse to reject her. “Oh, I don’t think I can make it tonight. I need to attend an important online conference.” “What about tomorrow night? Afternoon works as well,” Sonnet said insistently. “I’m not free tomorrow either. I’m going out on a business trip. I’m traveling overseas,” Hayden said. Sonnet fell silent. Hayden did not dare to look at Maxwell. He lowered his eyes and said, “Sonnet, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. There’s something important that I need to take care of right now!” ”“Alright.” Hayden i
Sonnet immediately ran over and blocked Hayden’s car. The car stopped, but no one got off the car. Sonnet walked over. She bent down and knocked on the car window several times. The window by the driver’s seat rolled down to reveal Hayden’s chauffeur. Sonnet looked inside the car. The car was empty except for the chauffeur. “Where’s Mr. Gunn?” She asked in surprise. Just then, a car drove out from the exit of the company and sped off into the distance.Sonnet instantly realized what had happened. She had fallen for Hayden’s trick. Hayden was in the other car that had just left! Sonnet called Hayden as she watched his car speed off into the distance and disappear from her sight. However, nobody picked up her call. She called Hayden several times but no one picked up. It seemed like he had blocked her from calling him. She had no other choice now. She had failed to meet up with him in the afternoon. She could only wait till night now! Since it was still early, Sonnet
Maxwell could not sleep the entire night. He kept recalling the good times that he had with Sonnet in the past.Sonnet was such a kind, determined, opinionated, and beautiful woman! She was the prettiest woman that he had ever seen in the world! They were so happy when they were together. He wished he could also stop going around with a disguise on him. He wanted to live happily with her for the rest of their lives. However, why did she change? Some time ago, Sonnet had told him that she still loved her late husband. Why did she suddenly love Hayden so much to the extent that she could not live without him? How could she fall in love with his best friend? Maxwell felt like his heart was being crushed. It hurt so much that he found it hard to breathe. He tossed and turned around in bed till it was midnight. Half an hour later, Marcus rushed to Maxwell’s apartment unit and brought a box of wine with him. He was shocked the moment he saw Maxwell.Maxwell’s hair looke
“However, that’ll put her in danger!”“I think that you’re being overly cautious. As long as she doesn’t tell anyone about your true identity, she can be in a relationship with you.” Maxwell’s heart wavered. Previously, he was not willing to expose his identity because he did not want the person that had previously tried to scheme against him to find out that he was still alive. If he found out that he was not dead, Sonnet’s safety would be compromised. He did not tell Sonnet that he was still alive because he did not want her to know anything. That way, she would be able to act more naturally. Thus, the people secretly monitoring Sonnet would truly believe that he was dead.So much time had passed. The people secretly monitoring Sonnet should have given up. That meant he could show up in front of Sonnet with his true identity. He would then be able to date her as Johnson Yate. He patted Marcus’s shoulder forcefully. He used so much force that a pained expression flashed acro
Sonnet was shocked when she got home. There was a large bloodstain on the floor of the living room. There were drops of blood next to the stain mark. The drops led to Jaybie’s room. Sonnet’s heart lurched at once. She ran into Jaybie’s room. Jaybie was seated by the bed with his head lowered. Winnie was holding a bowl under his face. Fresh red blood dripped into the bowl from Jaybie’s nose. The volume of blood in the bowl was shocking! Sophia, who was sitting beside Jaybie, held an ice pack to Jaybie’s nose bridge to stop the bleeding. Sophia called out in a panicked tone when she saw Sonnet running in, “I can’t stop the bleeding. What should we do?!” Sonnet immediately opened the medical box and took out the nose drips that the doctor had prescribed for Jaybie previously. She dripped some of the solution into Jaybie’s nostrils. Sonnet finally managed to stop Jaybie’s nosebleed after a long time. She then carried Jaybie to the hospital at once. Sophia followed them.
“North City?” Sonnet’s heart lurched. Did Hayden not tell her that he had traveled to Avalon for a business trip? Why was he in North City? “Yes, my cousin went to North City for a business trip. She ran into Hayden Gunn at her hotel. She even secretly took a photograph of him and posted it on her social media!” She showed the photographs that her cousin had taken to Sonnet. Sonnet could confirm that the man in the photographs was Hayden. “Which hotel is your cousin staying at?” Sonnet asked at once. “I think she’s staying at Blyton Hotel in North City.” Sonnet clutched Laurel’s hand and said, “Thank you, Laurel!” Laurel was stunned after hearing what she said. Why would she thank her? In the afternoon, Sonnet returned home and called Lindy, “Lindy, don’t you have some reporter friends in North City? Ask them to look into which room Hayden is staying in at Blyton Hotel.” “North City? Isn’t Mr. Gunn in Avalon?” “No, he’s in North City.” “Are you planning to tra
“Miss, did you come here alone?” A waiter came over to greet Sonnet. Sonnet nodded and looked around. She sat in a secluded corner of the restaurant and ordered something to eat. She ate while observing Hayden. Hayden stood up to greet the young woman when she arrived. Both sat down opposite each other and started chatting happily. It looked like they knew each other very well. Hayden must have been so focused on flirting with the young woman that he had not even noticed that Sonnet was nearby. Sonnet slowly ate the expensive steak that she had ordered while observing him. After a while, the young woman got up to go to the washroom. Sonnet immediately stood up and walked up to Hayden. Hayden gaped in shock when he caught sight of her. He could not bring himself to say anything! “Mr. Gunn, you must be surprised to see me here, right? I have no intention of interrupting your date but I had no choice but to come over to see you since you blocked off all contact with me!” S
The woman had an irritated expression on her face. “What are you laughing at?!” “It’s the first time I’ve heard someone describing a playboy so well. So playboys only become playboys because they’re way too gentlemanly and can’t bear rejecting women! You’ve enlightened me!” “Hay isn’t a playboy!” The woman’s face reddened as she trembled in rage. She had evidently grown up in an entitled and wealthy family. Therefore, she did not even know how to argue with someone. Sonnet sneered and said, “Don’t assume that everyone has the same taste as you. I don’t like Hayden at all! I’m looking for him for other reasons!” After speaking, she got up and walked outside. Initially, she wanted to discuss matters with Hayden nicely. However, Hayden was being way too disrespectful towards her. Instead of coming over himself, he had asked this woman to come over to humiliate her! If that were the case, she would not bother being nice to him! Sonnet walked to the restaurant next door. Si
