Gwyneth's revised plan not only surprised the villagers, but even her own people found it unbelievable.In the few minutes they had arrived at the village hall, Liam had already gained a clear understanding of the situation. As was evident in recent events, negotiating with others in public would always be problematic. However, it seemed that Gwyneth had managed to resolve the matter satisfactorily.Not only had she managed to calm the anger and frustration of the people, but she had also achieved a win-win situation.Liam stood near the door and made no move to approach. From his position, he had a clear view of Gwyneth's facial expressions and actions.His lips unconsciously curved upward, and his eyes softened as he watched her.After spending so much time together, it was easy to forget just how capable the woman by his side was.But now, looking at her from an outsider's perspective, he could not help but feel a sense of novelty.Coupled with a strong sense of pride and adm
Hayden had long understood that Gwyneth was a woman who was tough on the outside and gentle on the inside, so he remained silent.He simply shifted his body slightly closer to the edge of the bed, making it easier for Gwyneth to tend to his wounds.Gently lifting the gauze the doctor placed on the wound, Gwyneth could not help but feel her heart clench at the somewhat gruesome sight.Perhaps due to her independent upbringing, she was unused to others making sacrifices for her. And when others happened to be Hayden, it became even more difficult for her to accept.He was her friend, and at one point, several years ago, he had even been her best friend.But when certain emotions deviated, the accompanying changes were terrifying.There were signs of conflict in Gwyneth's expression and also a frown on her face, but Hayden could not see it.After a moment, she suddenly spoke up when she recalled something, "Aubrey mentioned that you're currently preparing a new song. Is that true
"You…I…," Gwyneth stammered.Liam appeared serious, but he was ecstatic about her response. He doubted the word "cute" could correctly describe his wife, but it was the only one he could think of at the time.She chided, "Liam, why didn't you ask me first? Did I give you permission to live with me?"He retorted, "To be completely honest, I couldn't think of any excuse for you to decline. After all, we are legally married."She gritted her teeth but was unable to say anything in response to his solemn but sinister expression.‘There are no extra rooms available. Where would he go if I kicked him out? Do I want to let him sleep on the street? This man made the long trip to Glacier Lake just for me, and he gave it his all to save me. I can't do this to him for emotional or moral reasons.’She sighed helplessly and agreed to let him stay. However, this did not mean she was content or at ease with the situation.He saw that her expression was ice cold. He was not in a rush, especia
Even the most stoic man would cry out in agony if their wound was grazed. Moreover, Liam had done this to Hayden out of the blue. Hayden felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.Gwyneth's initial desire to take a break was again interrupted when she saw this. She went up to Liam right away. Hayden could not see his expression because he had his back to them.She reached out and motioned for Liam to give her the bandages and medicine bottle.Liam wore an innocent look. He even brushed his hands after giving her the items, acting as though he had just completed something significant.She was amused by his reaction.'How old is this guy?'She withdrew her hand after applying the ointment and wrapped the bandage around Hayden’s wound. She warned him, "It's done. You can now retire, but be careful of your posture when you sleep."His injury was located behind his shoulder, and he was forced to sleep on his stomach to avoid touching it."Don't worry, I'll be careful."Gwynet
Hayden could not remember how their discussion ended. He returned to his room and violently slammed the door, feeling nothing when his shoulder wound reopened. He fought to keep his rage under control as he sat on the couch and eventually calmed down.Gwyneth and Liam were married, but Hayden believed that their marriage was likely a contractual one. If they had feelings for one another, their affection would have developed during the last three years.Hayden let out a heavy sigh, but he was no longer as upset as before.They did not have love for each other. Their marriage was a facade. He would not give up. If she needed to choose a life partner based on love, Hayden decided not to give in and grant Liam's wish.On the other side, Gwyneth emerged from the bathroom as she dried her hair. She saw Liam seated on the sofa and working. She felt a tightness in her heart. Subconsciously, she dipped her head to check her bathrobe before saying something.Her voice was a little erratic
After everything was resolved, Gwyneth stopped paying much attention to him. She made her way to the window, switched off the bedside lamp, and got ready for bed, closing her eyes.Liam smiled helplessly when he saw this. His grin contained a hint of mischief. They were subtle emotional changes that neither of them realized nor noticed.Liam entered the restroom after putting the hairdryer away. He had yet to shower after a long day.When Gwyneth heard the bathroom door closing, she immediately opened her eyes. Her body was extremely tired, but her mind was rather excited.How could she fall asleep? During her time as Liam's wife, she had made the decision to spend their wedding night in a guest room. They were forced to sleep in the same room because they were away on a trip. And of all places, the hotel was the place they had to share a room.She cursed him many times in her heart when she thought of this. But she was still powerless in this situation. She eventually closed her
Typically, Aubrey would be the first to speak. She immediately got up and raised her hand in excitement. Apparently, she was not bothered by yesterday. She suggested, "Gwynnie, I finally get to tag along and visit this scenic spot. Why don't we go for a stroll around Glacier Lake?"Gwyneth chuckled at her suggestion. She could comply with her request without issue. Her previous visits to this site had been work trips, but she had some free time today. It was a nice suggestion to go for a stroll. With that thought in mind, she turned her gaze toward Liam and Hayden. The two also agreed with this suggestion.Their journey from the hotel to Glacier Lake took some time, which Gwyneth used to catch up on some sleep. The drive was very peaceful, but upon arrival at Glacier Lake, Liam's phone started to ring non-stop. He would try to return to Gwyneth's side after he hung up the call, but a new call would come in shortly."You can go ahead and handle your things," Gwyneth urged gently when
Liam questioned, "Mr. Hut, am I hearing things? What did you just say?"Gwyneth was confused by his sudden move. When she reacted and grasped the situation, she was even more confused. What on earth was going on here?Before Hayden could respond, Liam tightened his grip on Gwyneth's arm and declared, "Gwyneth is my wife."The young girl who had asked Hayden for his number was disheartened by his answer, but when she heard this, her dim spirit quickly brightened up. The more she looked at Hayden, the more familiar he seemed. She asked, "Are you…?"Hayden was annoyed by Liam's statement, but he was powerless to change it. When he heard the question from the girl, a warning bell went off in his mind.Liam took advantage of this and swiftly took Gwyneth away from the crowd. Their departure created a gap around Hayden. His surroundings were already crowded, but it had become packed now. Many people who stood afar even mistaken this for a new attraction site at Glacier Lake."Hey! Aren
