Hayden’s POVSince earlier, all I did was daydream and occasionally smile when I remembered my time with Addison. I felt so happy, especially when we spent time together the other day. My dream since college was to be Addison's lover and then marry her. It's been a long time since I wanted Addison to be my girlfriend, and this time, my dream has come true.I was quite happy when, after the surgery, Addison didn't remember Damon, who was obviously an ex-husband who had lived for years with Addison. And that was a very happy thing for me, so I could declare my feelings for her again.Unfortunately, Addison doesn't want to get married anytime soon. If only she were willing to marry me, maybe I would have married her immediately without wasting time. However, I understand how Addison feels, she has her traumas in marriage, and I have to wait patiently.Every time I think of Addison, I smile like an insane person."Why are you smiling to yourself, sir? Is there something that pleases you?"
Hayden’s POVI was already on my way to Addison's house. I was very excited but still driving at a normal speed because I didn't want to overdo the driving. I felt that things had gone very smoothly after I had experienced some bitterness in life. I wondered if God was being kind to me by sending Addison to me. Yeah, I assume that's the case.I slowed down when I got to the red light. My fingers tapped on the steering wheel to the song's beat on the stereo. My eyes were fixed on a flower shop up ahead. I thought about coming to Addison's house with nothing but the paperwork for Addison's surprise.Ah, I should buy some flowers to give to Addison.So, after the red light turned green, I drove the car only a few meters ahead. I again stopped the vehicle in front of the flower shop.I entered the flower shop and was warmly greeted by a store clerk. Then I looked around to see what flowers I would get for Addison.I stood for a long time in front of the various flowers, and it seemed like
Hayden’s POVI helped Addison clean up the leftovers that weren't used up, moving them into the fridge. Addison washed the dirty containers from our meal. Meanwhile, Mr. Rundolph had moved to the den to care for some things.The dining table is clean, and I noticed that Addison is washing the dishes manually. Addison had a dishwasher, but she didn't want to do it."I prefer playing with water and soap bubbles like this."I laughed at her words. It was obvious that what Addison said was similar to girls who preferred playing with soap bubbles.After washing the dishes, Addison and I sat at the dining table. We talked about the contract I offered her. She was a little afraid of disappointing me."No need to worry about that, Addison. I'm sure your father has one of his talented employees who can help you handle it." I tried to persuade Addison to stay confident. "This is not a one-man job, but a team. You guys can support each other. I think you'll get the hang of it."Ah, I forgot that
Addison’s POVI'm such an idiot!What the hell was I thinking?Why did I ask her to sleep at my house?I don't understand my way of thinking. I shouldn't have said that to Hayden. I'm sure he would have thought I was offering him something. I didn't. That's not what I meant.I felt so confused with myself. Why didn't I want to be apart from Hayden? Is it because of that guy's attitude that I feel like a worm in salt water if we're separated for a while?Argh! This is so embarrassing. It's good that Dad was already in his room when Hayden wanted to go home.I invited Hayden to my room. I don't know why I could invite him to my room, because I don't know either. We stood awkwardly, especially me, who looked so stupid.I rubbed my face. "You go to bed first. I'll get changed." Without waiting for Hayden's reply, I went inside the toilet and locked myself inside.Shaking my head quickly, I couldn't possibly kick Hayden out after I offered to let him stay over. I'm not that bad.Let it go,
Addison’w POVI opened my eyes slowly, and I saw Hayden's face looking at me. I blushed. "What are you doing?" I moved behind him as I remembered what happened between him and me last night. I was embarrassed."Hey, why are you turning away from me, Addison?" Hayden grabbed my shoulders and pulled my body back to look at him. Didn't he realize how embarrassing he was making me look?Finally, we faced each other again, Hayden's hand smoothing my messy-looking hair. I still vividly remember what we did last night, and it makes me look like a complete idiot. We were adults, and it was natural for us to get in touch with each other. However, for me, being in front of her was very embarrassing."Are you mad at me about last night?" Hayden asked me cautiously.I shook my head softly. "Why should I be mad if I enjoyed it too."Hayden gave a small chuckle. "Addison."He called out to me. Then I looked at him without asking."I want to get more serious with you. I know, I'll wait until you're
Addison’s POV After Hayden's departure, I walked into the room with a happy look. Yes, I am very happy right now. How could I not? I felt loved so much by Hayden. I also felt euphoria in me that seemed to explode, and the butterflies in my stomach flew around very cheerfully. Oh, is this what it feels like to be in love? It felt amazing, and I loved it. I imagined Hayden over and over again, the moment he kissed me so passionately, touching me so gently. Hayden really treated me very well and affectionately. But on the other hand, I wanted to show Damon how much I was loved by a man like Hayden, not a man like him who couldn't appreciate me as a partner. Suddenly, I shook my head quickly. "What do I have to do with him? I'm determined not to remember him anymore." Remembering Damon made my facial expression become grim. It seemed like that guy was having a bad effect on my life. Maybe I should just remember Hayden, because if I remember Hayden my face will definitely turn red and
Addison’s POVHayden looked sharply at Cora, and then Cora made an annoyed face at Hayden as if not accepting what Hayden had said to her.I felt uneasy now, worried that something might happen here because, at this moment Cora had stood up from her seat and stood facing Hayden. Cora's face looked very angry as she prepared to reply to Hayden's words."Don't be so confident, Mr. Clarke. Because a man who is overconfident in his words will eventually bend the knee before me." Again, Cora said that with great confidence.I smiled faintly, realizing that Cora's attitude was more courageous, and I felt very confident in herself rather than the judgment of others.Hayden smiled sarcastically at Cora. "You're the one who shouldn't be confident, Miss Hills. Because someone like you who has nothing can be destroyed very easily."Cora's chest seemed to deflate at Hayden's words, which made her even more annoyed. I can see that the muscles around Cora's face are tense. I'm sure her temper will
Hayden POVThe smile that appeared on Addison's face was extraordinary. She is really very beautiful when she smiles, and it makes me love her even more. We chose to sit on a park bench to enjoy the snacks we bought and canceled lunch at the restaurant."You have to finish all this food."I chuckled at her annoyance at the amount of food I had bought."Don't worry, I'll finish it. You know I eat a lot."Addison chuckled at my joke. "Yeah, I know. That's why if I make a cake or food for you, I don't worry because you have to finish it."I laughed out loud again."You know, Addison. Any food you make automatically becomes my favorite food."Addison's face turned red. I'm sure she blushed at my teasing words. Addison blushes easily when anyone compliments her. She really is a very innocent and naive woman.Addison only ate a little of the food we bought. I, on the other hand, couldn't finish it all and intended to take some home to give to Nataly.After enjoying lunch at the city park, w
Damon’s POVAfter the conversation with Mr. Clarke, I immediately ran to Addison's hospital room excitedly. I knew I still had a chance to make things right with Addison, and I wouldn't waste it. I would also prove to everyone, especially Mr. Clarke and Addison's father, that I still deserved to make Addison happy.I also won't waste Mr. Clarke's sacrifice, who, with his kindness, let Addison go for me. I knew it was hard for him to decide for Addison.Arriving in front of Addison's hospital room, I let out a long breath, trying to strengthen my heart. Come on, Damon, you can do it!After that, I opened the door to the room and saw Addison, who happened to be staring at me, too. She was alone and seemed to have been crying. I knew that this was the right time to express my feelings to her, which I had experienced during the time she didn't remember me anymore.I stepped slowly to the center of the room and stopped. Addison was still looking at me without saying anything. She just look
Hayden’s POVI let out a long breath after walking out of Addison's hospital room with a horrible feeling. I stayed in front of the door long to calm myself down. I knew my decision had been well thought out after seeing Addison, who kept calling the man's name while in a trance. I foolishly let Addison go because I knew she couldn't get Damon's image out of her mind. I knew this was the right decision because I couldn't possibly keep a woman who still held the love of another man in her heart. Even though I felt my passion for Addison was more significant than anyone else, including Damon Saunders.When I felt a little better, I was about to leave this place and go home. However, my gaze fell on Damon, sitting in the corner of the hospital hallway as if waiting. I walked over to him. Damon looked at me as I headed towards him, then stood up from his seat.I was standing two steps before Damon with my gaze fixed on him. "I want to talk to you."Damon nodded his head. I walked first, a
Addison POVI was still surprised by what Hayden said. I didn't think he would say that now when I still didn't understand what was going on. Everything seemed very confusing to me. Then, with his silence, it was as if he didn't care about what Damon did to me.I shook my head quickly. "No, Hayden. That can't be happening. We just had a beautiful relationship. You know I'm happy with you..."Hayden retook my hand and squeezed it hard. His eyes looked very cold looking at me. What's with those eyes? Can't he look at me with a loving gaze?"Addison, you better be honest if you've been lying to yourself, and it's making you hurt more. Isn't that right?"I paused to digest Hayden's words, which seemed very painful if they were true. If so, I must have hurt Hayden a lot. I looked at Hayden and shook my head slowly. "I'm okay, Hayden. I feel fine."I was surprised to realize that my voice was stammering. Was I nervous?"I found out who you really love," Hayden spoke again.Suddenly, I raise
Addison’s POVI opened my eyes and smiled when I saw Hayden standing not far from the bed. Then, I felt something grasping my hand. Was it Dad? However, when I looked down to get a better look, it wasn't Dad but Damon. That, of course, surprised me a lot.Hayden just looked at me without wanting to come closer to me, so I knew the man who was holding my fingers was Damon. Shouldn't Hayden be angry?"Why is that man here?" I asked Hayden while pointing at Damon. However, Hayden remained silent and said nothing at all.Suddenly, Damon raised his head and smiled at me. "Addison."I looked at him in astonishment. How could Dad and Hayden let him be here? I looked back at Hayden, and he was still staring at me silently and showing no signs of preventing Damon.Damon moved closer and immediately hugged me. I was surprised by what he did. This really makes me not understand what's going on. Why is Damon here, and now he is hugging me? And Hayden, who is just silent as if he didn't see me, Da
Damon’s POVI really feel so broken at this point. I was so stupid to have done bad things to Addison all this time. I admit that no matter how much good I do, I won't be able to erase the sins I've committed against Addison.After I let her be happy with Mr. Clarke, I thought there wouldn't be any more bad things happening to her. Turns out I was very wrong. The disaster was Cora, who escaped my attention. I should have deterred Cora by what she did to Addison back in the day. I felt stupid for letting her wander around with a grudge in her heart. I would have made her disappear long ago if I had known Cora was after Addison.Jared informed me about the accident that happened to Addison, which made me angry. Plus, I was told that Cora was the culprit. Indeed, after I got an ultimatum from Jared to let Addison go, I didn't just let it go. I asked Jared for absolute conditions to keep monitoring Addison's condition. Jared said he would do it in a limited time. I promised him that if Ad
