Paisley was feeling confused upon seeing Hardy's bizarre behavior. She did not expect Hardy to be so patient and gentle towards Talitha. He must be trying to get rid of her, right? Paisley thought to herself. Paisley then immediately voiced out, "Hardy, we can ask Assistant Bevan to drive her home. You shall rest here for a while and wait for a much thorough check by the doctor." "There is no need to make a hassle out of it as I'm feeling alright. Let's get out of here." Hardy then put on his shoes and held Talitha's hand while preparing to leave the ward. Paisley was dumbfounded upon seeing the sight of it. Did Hardy go bonkers? She thought to herself. She paced forward and halted him, "Hardy! What are you trying to do? You are in a fragile state and we shall wait for a consultation with the doctor. Why are you in such a hurry?" "I'm worried about Talitha," Hardy replied. Talitha was delighted upon hearing it but tried to persuade him as we
Talitha immediately told Raelyn and Natasya about Hardy's behavior as soon as she returned back to the hotel. It seemed that William's prediction was accurate. Both Raelyn and Natasya were feeling excited upon hearing about it. The trio was certain that William would also treat Natasya the same way based on Hardy's sudden change of attitude. Both men had consumed the blood vermin after all. Natasya could not wait to visit William and get ahold of his reaction. However, it was not an easy task as his men were keeping a close eye on him. Raelyn noticed her expression and suggested, "Natasya, I think William must have woken up since Hardy has regained his consciousness as well. You can try to send him a message and test the waters." "Alright, that sounds good." Natasya immediately texted him, "William, how are you feeling now? I'm very worried about you." Natasya was feeling a little anxious as her message was not being reverted back. "Why is he not re
Valeria then smothered more frosting onto his face and he pretended to be upset. William tried to get ahold of her and the couple chased each other around for a while around the dining table. He eventually managed to catch her and wanted to put some frosting on her face as well. She was terrified as her face soon went as pale as a ghost and shouted, "Honey, I'm so sorry! Please save me, anybody!" Hayden hurled out of the study room upon hearing Valeria's cry for help. He burst into laughter upon seeing Valeria and William with a face full of cake frosting. The couple immediately became serious especially Valeria upon hearing his chuckle. She composed herself and greeted Hayden politely. "Cake is meant to be enjoyed instead of using it for a prank," Hayden held his laughter and warned them in a stern tone. "Okay, dad. Do you want to have a slice?" Valeria asked cordially and tried to ease the tension. "Sweetheart, it's my birthday today. Why would you off
Paisley patted his chest to ease him and the pain eventually went away. She was startled upon seeing his face being as pale as a ghost and drenched in sweat. "Hardy, let's head to the hospital and consult a doctor. I'm worried about you." Hardy shook his head and refused her idea, "There's no need for the hassle. I'm feeling fine now." "What are you talking about? You scared me to death just now!! Hardy, aren't you always in good health? Why would you suffer from chest pain all of a sudden?" Hardy had also struggled to explain as this was the first time that he had experienced a heartache. His health was always top-notch and he did body checkups regularly. Why did I feel dizzy and passed out just now? Why would my chest hurt all of a sudden? Hardy thought to himself. He had also noticed that he would suffer from heartache whenever he thought about Talitha negatively and it might be merely a coincidence. He was not convinced that his chest pa
Natasya had been carefully observing his expression. She realized that he was taken aback upon seeing her and his tone was much gentler than before. His body movements were also different this time. William used to distance himself and treated her coldly. However, it was clear that he had taken interest in her as he took the initiative and paced towards her first. She was delighted about it and replied coyly, "I have been waiting for you!" "I apologize for keeping you waiting. Is it okay if we head in and have a chat?" William made the first move and invited her. Natasya was feeling over the moon and replied, "That sounds good. William, I have a gift for you." She took the paper cranes with her when she got out of the car. It was a present that she had prepared for William. Bobby, who stood next to William, was one step ahead of him and paced forward. He grabbed the gift from Natasya and threw it aside. Natasya was taken aback by the sudden move of
Talitha just wanted to provoke her sister. It was a lie as Hardy did not invite her to have a meal. She had called him first and he only then suggested having lunch with her. His attitude had improved a lot compared to last time when he would outright refuse her suggestions. Talitha held her bag and walked out of the hotel with a smile on her face. It was seen that Hardy drove a luxury car and had been waiting for her at the entrance. He then swiftly hopped off the car and opened the car door for Talitha. She was taken aback and was feeling overjoyed as he was being a gentleman towards her. Hardy assisted to fasten her seat belt as she got into the vehicle. Talitha reached out to hug him and gave a peck on his face. He did not refuse and paid the same thing back. Oh My God! This blood vermin is indeed powerful! Talitha thought to herself and was feeling on top of the world. She would have used the blood vermin on him long ago if she knew that it wo
William's face turned grim upon hearing Richard's mockery. Michael had also burst into laughter upon hearing about it. "What should you do now? Natasya is deeply in love with you. William, did you do something fishy with her behind your wife's back?" "Do I look like one?" Richard and Michael questioned together, "Don't you?" "Guys, cut it out. You guys would be responsible if there is any crack in my relationship!" The both of them giggled upon seeing his serious expression. Richard then said scornfully, "She's a slut but pretends to be an innocent little girl. I'm genuinely disgusted by her actions! She refuses to give up until she manages to give you the paper cranes as your birthday present." "Guys, cut it off. Stop mentioning about the paper cranes as both me and my wife are not interested in it." William changed the topic as he was afraid that Valeria would be upset, "Sweetheart, are you feeling hungry? Let's have something to eat." Valeri
The couple locked hands and eventually went downstairs to greet their newly-arrived guests. Hayden had also stood by the entrance to meet both Gavin and Archer. The servant opened the car door and Gavin then got off the car. He reached out to shake Hayden, his old friend's hand. However, Gavin was in a much seniority position as both Valeria and William were now a couple. Hayden was feeling uneasy about it. Gavin understood his feelings and decided to address him the same way as before. Hayden was feeling increasingly relaxed as both Archer and Natalie were also very polite to him. Hayden then took the lead and brought the Saunders Family into his estate. Both he and Gavin were at the front whereas Archer and Natalie were behind them. The latter was busy having a word with Valeria and William. Natalie praised upon seeing Valeria, "Valeria, you look stunning today!" "My husband said the exact same thing to me just now," Valeria replied with a confide
