"Mason didn't attend school today." Hayden's hands were lazily tucked in his pocket as he strode toward the mansion, along with Craig, Philips, Caleb, and Simon. Upon remembering something, he glared at a certain rascal who caused his misery and perhaps punishment in the future. Craig blinked his eyes innocently at Hayden's searing gaze. No matter how he tried to remember, he couldn't remember offending Hayden, so what's wrong with Hayden now? "What are you staring at me for?" Craig inquired curiously, his expression filled with sincere innocence. Noticing that Craig seemed to be innocent, Hayden huffed and eyed Craig with bewilderment. "You dumped Sean for class." Hayden asserted knowingly. After all, it was Craig's actions of ignoring Sean that resulted in Zenos knowing he skipped class. Boohoo! There'll be no chance for Hayden to play truancy and skip class anymore because Zenos will know. Immediately, Hayden drawled a distressed sigh upon thinking about his future happiness. W
Sean snickered and placed an expensive yogurt brand in front of Michael while eyeing the sitting Michael meaningfully. His expression was shouting 'bottom'.Michael's calm expression cracked, and his face reddened, understanding what Sean was implying with his gaze and snickers.That little bastard named Sean had been on Michael's neck and had been sending many meaningful gazes ever since Michael's arrival.As usual, Michael planned to ignore Sean. He calmly stared at Sean with glazed eyes, as if he didn't understand Sean's gaze, knowing that Sean wouldn't dare to articulate the words unless he wanted to get beaten up by Michael.Michael picked up the yogurt and stretched it over Sean.Sean made a Cheshire cat grin and collected the yogurt from Michael. He opened the yogurt and returned it to Michael. "Thanks." Michael appreciated in a low, hoarse voice, which was all thanks to Xavier, who couldn't keep his hands to himself.Michael knew that if he didn't have an important appointment
"Big brother Jude." Ivy's scream resounded, and she ran into Jude's embrace happily, excitement in her eyes.Little Ivy had thought Big Brother Jude was annoyed with her and wouldn't come to her birthday celebration, but just as Big Brother David promised Ivy, Big Brother Jude really came.Little Ivy didn't understand why she liked big brother Jude and big brother David so much; it was as if they should become Ivy's big brothers."Ivy," Jude called fondly, picked the girl up with a smile, and threw her into the air twice, her sweet and childish laughter filling his ears.Seeing the cute little girl again, Jude can't deny that he really took a liking to the sensible little girl.Ivy wrapped her hands around Jude's neck with pride. Her eyes crinkle due to a happy smile. Seeing David standing beside Jude, Ivy stretched out her hands and pouted her pink lips, demanding that he carry her.David's cold expression softened, and he collected the little girl from David before throwing her in t
“Young master, our source says Hion had arrived at Grail.” Prothero's bodyguard bowed his head respectfully while staring at the boy, who was currently typing something on his laptop. His straight back turned to the guard.Prothero stopped typing and raised his head to show a perfectly carved, handsome young face in his fifteenth. The boy shut his laptop and turned to the guard, his action elegantly screaming morals and training. “When will Dad check my progress?” He asked in a deadpan voice filled with nonchalance.The guard bowed at Prothero's detached action. He can't help thinking that the boss and young master really look identical. Unfortunately, the father and son's relationship is estranged, and they don't see eye to eye. “It's next Thursday, young master.” The guard replied respectfully. Prothero leaned back on his chair, his deep, and black eyes half-lidded, and his thoughts running calmly. His eyelids shut, and he began to massage his brows. “We leave tomorrow.” Prothe
"Simon, what're you doing? Get in the car already." Craig waved at Simon from the passenger seat where he was sitting, his phone in his grasp.The other four were randomly sitting in the car seat, but their eyes were fixed on Simon, who was casually walking by the roadside.The school had just closed, and the five were about to leave for home when they discovered that they couldn't find Simon, although they had all left the class at the same time.Even though they had taken a walk through the whole school in search of a certain someone, they couldn't catch the gaze of Simon.Not until a guard went to find out where Simon disappeared were they able to find out Simon's location.It turns out that Simon had already left school when they were searching for him.Now, seeing his hand tucked into his pocket and that lazy look on his face, they had the instinct that he wasn't ready to leave for home either."Drive on." Simon lazily replied and kicked a bottle perfectly, his back straight and
Despite the thought running through Prothero's mind, surprisingly, Prothero's gaze was blank, and his expression was calm except for the ridiculing sneer he donned on his face. "You're not petrified that I'll break you." He spoke leisurely with a taunting sneer.Simon's body shook, and his fist clenched in a bid to control himself from smacking sense into this uncultured brat. Just who the hell trained this rascal?"For a young boy, you sure know how to speak nonsense." Simon retorted fiercely. Although he tried to take a deep breath to calm himself, when facing off the poisonous and loose-tongued Prothero, Simon couldn't!The reason Simon didn't suggest that the boy lean on him was because he was afraid of putting pressure on the boy's wound.Simon had been considerate of the young boy and even did what he had never done before—asking the boy to get on his back—only to receive an unappreciative sneer from Prothero. Who wouldn't get annoyed?Simon scowled and took out his phone upon r
"Hey, boys. I'm home…" Mia suddenly paused and inhaled the aroma that drifted into her nose, excitement overtaking her face immediately.Mia cheered and began to dance expertly toward the kitchen. "Hayden, darling, had just cooked. I walked in at the right time. Hayden deserved all the kisses." Mia happily conveyed, inhaling the aroma of Hayden's meal drifting into her nose.Mason, Caleb, Craig, and Philip shook their heads in amusement. "Foodie, where have you been all day?" Philip, who was typing on his phone, paused and eyed Mia with curiosity. Mia had been leaving the mansion before the boys woke up and returned home extremely late at night, which was completely unusual for her. Besides, she was also dressed unlike the 'man' Mason knew.Mia was in a white halter tank top and a blazing red leather miniskirt with bright red lipstick on her lips, which was very unusual for her.Mia carelessly packed her hair with a black band before wearing a white chef cap on her head. Hayden has a
Simon was the crazy one to ask what Prothero's point was. Imagine!Simon grunted angrily and threw his phone onto the chair. For real, he should've kicked that boy out after treating him, but he just let the boy in.If Simon isn't simply stirring up trouble for himself, what's it? This is simply taking a mile after being given an inch. That little rascal!Simon huffed and decided to return to the bathroom. He needs to eat and sleep, not pay any mind to that rascal. Out of sight, out of mind!Thinking like this, Simon leisurely made his way to the bathroom.Running the race.Got my eyes on this prey.Power is all I crave.Unfortunately for Simon, his second step was accompanied by his phone ringtone.Simon's face reddened in anger. That nonsensical tall brat. He simply didn't know what was good for him!Simon's lips curled up wickedly. If Prothero likes to play this nonsensical play, then Simon won't be his host. Thinking like this, Simon paused in his tracks and retraced his steps bef
Simon used a hand to ruffle his hair and extended his other hand to beckon the group to leave without him. Even though he just stood calmly, somehow he seemed to look like a supermodel posing for a picture. "You can leave. I have to stay..."Without giving Simon the chance to complete his words, a cunning smile appeared on Philip's face, and he raised his eyebrows endlessly and mischievously. "Ah. For the new crush," he declared with a dramatic snicker.Immediately, Philip tucked his hands into his pockets and looked up to the sky with his signature ever-knowing sage look.If that person could appear today, then Philip needed to reclaim his ever-knowing sage position.Upon hearing and seeing Philip's expression, Simon's face gradually turned cold, and he glared at Philip coldly. He parted his lips to say a word, but before he could...Philip struck a pose and ran a hand through his hair dramatically. He shrugged and casually expressed, "Well. Keep waiting, but remember not to keep you
Upon hearing a total stranger directing questions at Hayden, Aria's brows knitted and her face contorted in a frown. She tilted her neck and inquired, "Do you know him?"Aria turned to Justin with a frown before turning to Hayden again.Without bothering to give Justin face, she openly chided Hayden fiercely while indirectly poking at Justin."Don't tell me you've gotten a poor taste ever since this lady isn't here to monitor you," she chided while staring at Hayden with an expression that conveyed: Don't tell me it's true.Without casting a glance at Justin, Hayden ruthlessly responded with a helpless sigh, "I don't know him."Justin's expression changed, and it felt as if his heart had been stabbed fiercely upon hearing Hayden's cold rejection.Upon hearing this, Aria dramatically sighed while patting her chest. "Fortunately."Immediately, Aria flashed a smile at Hayden. "Now, let's go!"Immediately, Aria scowled and clutched Hayden's hand tightly. She began to scold him fiercely. "
Justin tucked his hands into his pockets and silently descended the stairs after being informed by a maid that his mom had called for him.In the living room, June, Justin's mother, was currently applying paint to her hand while watching a romance drama series.“Mom,” he called.June raised her head and directed a sweet smile at Justin. She informed him, "Starting from now on, Nougat will attend school with you."Her voice was so calm and sweet—unfortunately, her words held no sweetness for Justin.Upon hearing this, Justin felt as if a thunderbolt had cracked his world, and his mood plunged deep into the abyss.Right now, Justin believed he had just heard the worst news of the week. No—of the century. Attend school? Attend school with that bastard?Justin's eyes widened in horror, and he retorted in a stutter, “Attend? What? Why? How? Why should that bastard attend school with me? Why should he interfere with my daily life?”A surge of dread hit Justin’s soul hard and overwhelmed him
The first thing Hayden always did after taking a bath was to 'visit' the snack room to select the perfect snack for his early morning craving.That bright morning, it was unsurprising to see Hayden sneaking towards his snack room.Upon seeing a guard standing at the front of his precious snacks' door, Hayden's eyes enlarged slightly, but in the next second, he made a turn in pretense of forgetting something important in the bedroom.What a nice way to begin the day, dear CEO Zenos. Hayden sulked and grumbled unhappily.Upon seeing such an interference with his morning craving, how could Hayden not realize that Zenos was hell-bent on making his sugar level go down to normal?Hayden silently scowled, but in the next second, he tried to calm down and tried to accept it.As long as this cruel punishment didn't affect Hayden's incoming Heart's products, Hayden would try to shut one eye and manage himself by sneaking sweets, cookies, or chocolates, etc., when Zenos wasn't watching. Sigh! Li
An hour and a few minutes later, the doctor had already done a check-up for Hayden and disinfected, diagnosed, and dressed Zenos’ wound.The doctor’s back straightened, and he stared at Zenos and Hayden politely before reporting calmly, “Mr. Hayden’s mental health stress has decreased a lot. However, it seemed Mr. Hayden had a lot on his mind lately and tended to think a lot. It’s as if Mr. Hayden was afraid or anxious.” The doctor finalized.Upon hearing the doctor’s sentence, Hayden lowered his head and stared at his palm placed on his knees. Even though he didn’t make a comment, it was easy to notice that the doctor was right with his words.Zenos’ brows furrowed slightly. Except for Hayden’s exceptional clinginess, Hayden had always acted fine. Could it be that the boy had been pretending and was hiding things from him? What could it be?Zenos wrapped his hands around Hayden’s waist and nudged gently. He took hold of the boy’s hands and gently stroked them. “What’s it, baby?” he c
"Zenos, did you touch my schoolbag?" Hayden pursed his lips together and eyed Zenos suspiciously.Zenos raised his head to stare at the boy calmly. Upon making eyes with Zenos' deep eyes, Hayden became flustered, and he quickly dodged away.At that moment, Hayden realized that he was very daring. In fact, who would touch his bag if it wasn't Zenos? It's enough that he brought an illegal thing into the mansion when Zenos even took it away; he even dared to ask Zenos about it. Definitely courting trouble.In fact, the day before is when Hayden is supposed to get his snack from Zenos. However, because Hayden was caught eating a snack, Zenos banned the boy for five days.Despite Hayden's pleas and negotiation, he was only able to coax Zenos into four days. How heartless.Just thinking about how Zenos coldly pronounced that ruthless order, Hayden felt like bursting into tears.His beautiful heart. His exquisite heart. Of course, no snacks can ever taste like it. Yet Zenos cruelly takes it
“Micheal,” Xavier interjected immediately with a call.Upon seeing Hayden's expression turning pale, Zenos engulfed the boy in a hug and gently coaxed him while throwing dagger-like glares at the unfazed and unremorseful Michael.Michael leisurely leaned against Xavier and gave Hayden a cold glare, killing intent flickering past his eyes. "If you dare Zenos again, it is best you go into hiding and never let me find you, or I'll kill you with bare hands.” Micheal threatened, his voice laced with seriousness and danger.Although Xavier should be the one interjecting and cautioning Michael, upon seeing the person acting so domineering, Xavier’s eyes darkened and his desires increased, a thought in his mind: damn, Michael is hot!Upon hearing Michael’s words, Hayden's eyes surged with determination, and he retorted firmly, sincerity laced in his tone. "I won't hurt Zenos.” Hayden will never hurt Zenos in his lifetime or the next. Back then, when Hayden hurt Zenos, it was because he was ch
Suddenly, Jude’s phone rang, interjecting his typing. Jude stood up and strode toward the panoramic window; he tucked his left hand into his pocket and stared at the city. Jude picked up Zenos’ call."For those who embezzled, did you put in a schedule with our lawyer in court?" Zenos’ calm voice and the rapid finger typing on the keyboard drifted from the other end of the phone. "En,” Jude responded calmly, but in the next second, he arched his brows.At first, Zenos planned to take a look at the company’s staff and day-to-day affairs, but he suddenly decided to kick everyone out today. Originally, didn’t Zenos claim it was too early?Also, Mr. Dylan already knows his way around the company more than anyone. He can even be said to know his way around better than the owner. It was as if he was the owner! He might try to use that to cause trouble. Wait! He’s already in the police. Coupled with the pile of evidence that they have against him and his son, they will definitely take a wh
“No way! How could it be…” Upon hearing this, the higher-up expression changed, and they stared at each other in shock. Someone in the company dared to do such a heinous thing?The company’s value kept falling drastically with each second that ticked before Zenos stepped in.Although the Heart product was launched using the company, in fact, Zenos used it to boost the company, and the Heart product completely belongs to Zenos.For the first time in years, their debt was finally decreasing, and they were able to see a profit.Yet someone dared to do something heinous! Certainly, that person deserves a judgment that’s worse than death!Suddenly, one of the higher-ups squinted his eyes in suspicion and pointed at the nerdy guy. When everyone thought the Shert product tasted good, he was quick to find out that it tasted like heart product.If he hasn’t done something so suspicious, there’s no way he’ll find out so quickly.Upon hearing this, all of their expressions changed, and they turn
