Upon seeing the boy’s lips plastered on Mia’s cheeks, Zenos’s expression darkened more and more; his eyes turned fiercer, and his aura turned colder.Before Mia and Hayden could process, Zenos had already pulled Hayden away from Mia and thrown the boy on his shoulder.Before Hayden could blink or say a word to Zenos, Hayden had already been carried to the room by the gloomy Zenos. Hayden felt a chill course through his spine, and he felt his behind tremble in petrification. Damn it, Hayden seems to have pictured where he’ll end soon, but it wasn’t his fault, was it? Moreover, isn’t it just lips brushing cheeks between two friends? Although nothing happened between Jade and Zenos, Jade was miles clingy with Zenos, who should be the most infuriated? Shouldn’t it be Hayden? Thinking like this, Hayden’s courage grew rapidly. "Zen, what are you doing? Let me down!" Hayden demanded, his voice firm and steady despite the panic coursing through him.However, despite all Hayden’s attempts
Upon seeing the boy’s guilt and dismissive attitude, Zenos’s face turned cold. It was clear that the little rascal was trying to hide the truth from Zenos. Unfortunately for Hayden, since the beginning, Hayden has had a bad lying habit, so it’s clear to know if Hayden is being truthful or not. “Nothing special? Then why did you kiss her?”How’s that kissing? No, that can’t be called a kiss. It’s just a mistake. Hayden lowered his head and patiently explained, “It’s just lips meeting cheeks." It’s nothing special. That’s not a kiss. It’s more of a friendly kiss.”"Friendly? You kissed other friends like that?" Zenos coldly retorted, and his blue eyes continued to darken more and more. Upon hearing Zenos' words, Hayden's expression turned cold. "No," he replied, thinking that Zenos was making a hill out of a mole. It’s not his fault that an accident happened. If Zenos and Jade didn’t... anyway, none of this would have happened in the first place. A smile donned Zenos' face immediately
Mia paced up and down at the entryway, her face pale and contorted due to worry. Mia couldn’t help a certain fear that began to surge in her due to that person—the fear of Hayden leaving or alienating Mia. Even though she didn’t know how far that person’s power and influence extended, she knew that person was capable enough to make it happen, and it made her feel very helpless. Although Mia told Hayden to feign a kiss to make Zenos jealous. In fact, Mia was only being playful. After all, it was only after that person appeared in Grail that Hayden recovered and became a happy-go-lucky person. She was afraid that if Hayden and Zenos broke up, Hayden would revert to being the type of person he was when he came to Grail. Moreover, that person is very crazily possessive toward Hayden, and she is afraid that person would hold grudges and definitely make Hayden and Mia pay. Mia, just like Hayden and Zenos, was also stunned to receive a kiss on the cheek. Although the lovestruck girl in he
Hayden’s back arched and his fingers dug into the blanket, tears streaming down his face. He hiccuped pitifully. “Zen, really. Really didn't mean to kiss. Wuu. Wuu. Zen. I assume that person was your ex, okay? Wuu. Ahh, Zen. That's the truth. Mia suggested a fake kiss to attract your attention, but I rejected it. Ahhhh! My lips meeting Mia’s cheeks was a mistake. Really, mistake. Wuu. Wuu. Zen, are you annoyed about the holidays? I didn't mean it, okay? I was only bad once. No, twice, or maybe thrice. I didn't cheat on you. I only caused a little mischief. Mischief. Boohoo.”The poor Hayeen was tossed about to the point that he started speaking gibberish and revealing the truth of all he did in the past.Unfortunately, regardless of all Hayden said and begged, Zenos was unfazed.What made the poor Hayden bitter the most is that if it were on the norms that Zenos was tossing him about like this, he'd definitely have fainted due to Zenos's overwhelming strength long ago, but…Somehow,
“Ahhh!” Hayden’s lips parted, and he broke out into a loud, painful groan, a bead of sweat on his face. Hayden winced and sucked in a cold breath. Damn, it hurts. It hurts a lot. Really hurt. Really hurt a lot. Did Hayden mention that it hurt? It really does. Due to Zenos’s calm actions ever since Zenos that jerk returned to Grail, Hayden already believed that Zenos’s cold actions and lustful behavior had already calmed down a lot—causing the poor Hayden to lose his guard, but…It turns out that when Zenos goes crazy, Hayden will be the one to pay for it fiercely. Well, if it weren’t Hayden, who was thinking nonsense and making Zenos so infuriated that Zenos turned into a beast the day before.Sigh! The impact made Hayden’s whole body from head to toe ache a lot. There’s no part of his body that doesn’t hurt. Sigh! A sudden kiss on the lips jolted Hayden from his reverie and made Hayden’s eyes fly wide open. Upon seeing Zenos’ calm and composed expression, a surge of grievance an
Upon seeing Zenos leisurely leaning on the bed, Hayden’s face turned grim and cold. He knew Zenos didn't have any intention to bring him downstairs, and Zenos wanted him to walk down himself. Clearly, someone wanted to show offHayden snorted, held on to the wall, and carefully limped toward the door. His face was red, and his lips parted in a gasp for breath. Hayden had just twisted the doorknob when he was suddenly swept off his feet and bridal-carried. Hayden’s eyes lit up, and he exhaled in joy. Luckily, he doesn’t have to descend the stairs himself. The thought of doing so made his legs tremble. Regardless of Hayden’s thoughts, Hayden’s expression was cold to the bone, and he ignored Zenos nonchalantly. As soon as Zenos descended the stairs, Hayden was placed on his feet, and Zenos used his chin to motion Hayden to continue himself. Immediately, Zeno strode into the kitchen.Hayden almost faltered. Must Zenos be so petty? Clearly, Zenos could bring him to the living room before
The instant Zenos and Hayden got into the car, familiar soft lips fell on Hayden's lips and captured Hayden's lip in a fierce kiss. Hayden wrapped his hands around Zenos’ neck and smiled.It wasn't until Zenos discovered that the boy was almost out of breath that Zenos reluctantly parted from Hayden.Hayden leaned onto Zenos. He extended his hands and traced his swollen lips with his fingers. "Why are you jealous?" He inquired.Shouldn't he be the one who's eating vinegar? Why was it Zenos instead?Zenos grabbed Hayden's fingers and placed a gentle kiss on them. He cupped Hayden's cheeks and stroked Hayden's face. "Everything about you is worthy to be jealous of. Especially when there's Mia who keeps looking for a chance to get you back..."Hayden's expression changed, and he pursed his lips in grievance. "She never owns me." He hugged Zenos and clarified, "Don't talk like I was once hers."Zenos's lips curved up, and he placed a soft kiss on Hayden's nose. "Hm."Minutes later, the ca
Hayden's head was lowered while his fingers tapped rapidly on his phone; he was so concentrated on his phone that his walking pace lagged; Hayden, who walked next to Zenos, unconsciously fell behind Zenos. Hayden suddenly took a glance away from his phone. He raised his head and strode toward Zenos to catch up. He clung onto Zenos’s arm and beamed eagerly while staring at Zenos with eager and sparkling green eyes. "Zen.”Zenos’s expression softened, and his eyes fell on the boy's impeccably handsome face. His brows arched, and he responded calmly, "Hm?" Hayden blinked innocently, let go of Zenos’s hand, and raised his phone for Zenos to see the content on the screen. "I've got a school project with Justin; can I go to his place…”Zenos's expression turned cold, and he interjected firmly, "No.” Justin, that jerk heir who chased and proposed to Hayden? He'll never give that brat a chance to be alone with his Hayden. Zenos's blank gaze fell on Hayden, and he declared firmly, "You can
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he made an attempt to stretch his body, but in the next second, tears slipped past his eyes, and he stared at the ceiling. Why does his hand ache so much? Ah! What's wrong with his body again? It’s really too much! Hayden slowly but achingly walked towards his phone. However, by the time Hayden checked his phone, he was completely shocked… Hayden could remember that he left his phone charging last night, but how come his phone is completely turned off right now? Not only was the charging socket off but his phone's battery was completely shut down. His phone battery isn't the type to drain for no reason! A wicked grin immediately crept onto Hayden's lips. Something is extremely fishy. Now, he doesn't believe that Zenos is truly innocent. Tonight, he'll change his plan. Let's see if Zenos will be able to hide again! Hayden smirked evilly, the plan on how to catch Zenos pervading his mind. He should have expected that his plan was childish in the b
Hayden drowsily stretched his arms and yawned leisurely. His hand flew towards his eyes, and he leisurely rubbed his eyes.His eyes flew wide open, and he evaluated himself. It seems falling asleep is the best health treatment. His arms and body feel so much better after sleeping.Hayden's finger landed on his lips, and he slowly stroked them. It's just that his lips don't seem to go with the flow and still remain the same from when he woke up in the morning.However, everything feels so great. Suddenly, Hayden paused, and his eyes shone with an enigmatic glint.The ointment seems to work despite Zeno teasing his chest.Hayden immediately became energetic, and he sat up while stretching actively. He could probably do some painting, or he could just tease Zenos too…Definitely teasing Zenos.Even though Zenos' expression shows innocence, Hayden doesn't fall for it, and he believes that his situation can only be none other than Zenos' handiwork. After all, who could step into the room i
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he leisurely yawned, “Ha… Ahh. Ahh. Ahh. It hurts.” Hayden's leisure yawns were immediately replaced with a pitiful cry and teary eyes. Hayden sucked in a cold breath and evaluated his aching body. He slept fine last night. Why does his whole body ache now? Especially his red dots, which felt as if they had been sucked sore. Ah! His hand feels so heavy too. This feeling feels like whenever he used his hand to help Zenos. Ahem. Hayden almost smacked himself. How could he have such naughty thoughts at such a serious time? “Ahhh!” Hayden let out a pitiful cry upon using his aching hand to mistakenly touch his stiff and sore red dots.This feels so unusual. Very unusual! And very painful. Immediately, Hayden's eyes landed on the bed. Did Zenos come in? Hayden took a glance at the door, and he immediately rejected the idea. Judging by how everything seemed fine the way he left it before he fell asleep, it could be seen that Zenos didn't step into t
Silence fell immediately, but in the next second, Zenos' broke into a peal of sarcastic laughter, cruelly poking into Xavier's wound. He fell silent in the next second and asked, “Why?” Xavier leaned forward and truthfully replied, his eyes filled with regret. “Dealing with business and failing to return for weeks.” Oh. Zenos fell silent, and his eyes fell on the beautiful city view, his expression deep and enigmatic and his thoughts unfathomable. "How?" A rueful smile appeared on Xavier's face, and he ran his hands through his hair. "On a business trip that was supposed to take three days, I ended up spending two weeks. Every day coaxing and promising to return the next day.” And when he finally arrived at the mansion a few hours ago, Xavier made his return a surprise. The man had eagerly kissed him, jumped on him, and attended to him well while acting clingy, leaving no trace of suspicion in Xavier's mind. Who knew that when Xavier was about to step into the room and hug the
Hayden puckered his lips and rolled around on the bed. He sighed heavily and tightly clutched the pillow. Hayden is certain that Zenos will feel bad for not being able to cuddle with him, right? Especially when Zenos thought about not being able to kiss and touch Hayden for three days. Zenos had always been touchy and couldn't do without kissing the boy, hugging him, etc. Hehe. Serves Zenos right! Suddenly, Hayden's eyes shone, and he giggled. Zenos, that person has always been strict when it comes to Hayden. Seeing Zenos nervous and the tide switching. Hayden inexplicably feels good, and his illusionary tail hangs high into the clouds. Serves Zenos right. Hmph. Zenos won't only be missing Hayden, but he won't be able to act touchy or bully him for three days! The more Hayden thought like this, the more eager he was to experience these three days. Hayden leisurely rubbed his eyes and yawned. He slipped into the bedcover and covered himself. Soon, his eyes shut, and he f
The sensor-activated range hood and air purifiers already began to operate after detecting the exuding smoke. Due to the fact that he had returned to the study, Zenos hadn't heard the timer finish its timer countdown, so the oven continued to work. Zenos pulled open the oven, and his expression changed upon seeing the Turducken's current state. The expected crispy brown turkey is now burnt and dark, its edges slightly blackened. A sense of dread hit Zenos immediately. The boy already warned Zenos not to mess things up, or else he'll be really infuriated. The boy's infuriated expression immediately appeared in Zenos' mind, and his heart sank. If the turkey skin is burnt, then the inside…Zenos grabbed a knife and sliced the turkey, clearly hoping that the damage was minimal. His expression slipped upon noticing that the turkey meat was dry around the edges, its moisture beginning to evaporate. The outer layer of the duck is overcooked and drier than it should be. However, th
The Heart product that the sweet tongue Hayden was completely obsessed with was a completely new product and brand Zenos created solely because of Hayden's sweet tongue. Months ago, when Zenos first presented the new product to the shareholders, the product idea was completely opposed by a lot of shareholders. After all, the company has always done something different, so why would their company stoop so low to do something risky and low like creating junk like chocolate, cookies, etc.? What if it doesn't sell? Regardless of the shareholders' disgruntlement and rejections, Zenos went on to launch the product with his resources. Even though Heart was just a product that was launched in less than one month with no advertisement made, it broke world record sales and became the nation's favorite and the most expected snack brand in the country in less than a month! By then, the shareholders who all went against it could only bite their fingers in regret. Seeing the huge profits that
"Zen, you can back out and let me bid.” Hayden smacked his lips together and raised his head to stare at Zenos seriously; his actions of helping Zenos fix the apron came to a pause.Hayden saying this… It's not that Hayden looked down on or underestimated Zenos' ability to make a turducken. After all, Zen is the best, and Zen is a multi-talented genius.It's just that Zenos has been busy dealing with company work since the past week, and Zenos doing this means that Zenos won't be able to complete the work he had to do during this time.This means that Zenos has extended his work, and the time Zenos is supposed to spend resting will be spent completing the work.Furthermore, judging by the details on the web and cooking recipes, Turducken requires focus and patience, which means that at the end of the day, Zenos will be tired.Zenos is already busy dealing with work, and Hayden has been trying to make Zenos rest; the thought of adding Turducken to all this chaos doesn't sit well with H
Hayden hummed rhythmically and shook his perky butt to the tune, his hands drawing and painting and his eyes fixated on the drawing.Suddenly, Hayden's phone alarm rang, interjecting Hayden's actions.Upon hearing the alarm sound, Hayden straightened his back, carefully took the painting, and hid it at the back of the shelf.Immediately, Hayden returned to the board and took out another paper. He began to doodle on the paper and resume his humming and shaking.Zenos silently opened the door and stepped into the gallery in order not to disturb someone. Upon seeing the enticing sight of Hayden shaking his butt while humming rhythmically, Zenos paused and gulped.Immediately, Zenos strode toward the boy and smacked his perky butt, albeit gently.Hayden's face flushed, and his ear turned red. He straightened his back and turned back to glare at Zenos fiercely. "What was that for?" He uttered with a harrumph.Zenos extended his hands and hugged Hayden from behind, his hands slowly massagin
