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 POVDamon and I have been a married couple for about four years now, and over the past two years, I've noticed that Damon, my husband's attitude, is very different from when we first got married. Damon, who used to be so warm, caring, and loved me so much, has turned so cold, and it's as if he's no longer reachable.I've known Damon my whole life. We've been friends since childhood, and I love him very much. Damon has always been very kind and warm to me. It's just that in the past two years, he's been very cold to me. Sometimes, he also treated me very harshly. He's turned into a man I don't recognise.I'm sure this marriage won't last much longer because I know that my husband has another woman behind my back. We never had a warm conversation anymore, not even to say hello. Plus, we've also been sleeping separately for months.There was nothing to look forward to at all.I let out a long breath. Thinking about my marriage that was already on the brink. I felt that it coul
Addison’s POVI let out a long breath as I exited the taxi that had brought me to the front of the divorce hall building. I felt the warm mid-afternoon breeze hit the skin on my face, which instantly warmed up.From across the street here, I could see a very familiar man standing in front of the divorce hall building. I could see his eyes glaring at me. I don't know what will happen to me later. Maybe I'll get angry, considering I didn't show up as promised.Damon is a very time-disciplined man. Damon disliked lateness because he was a man who came from a wealthy family, the sole successor of his family's giant company. That's why he values discipline so much.I started to cross the deserted street, running a little up the stairs that were only a few steps. Now I could see that the man hadn't come alone. Next to Damon stood a beautiful woman wearing a very elegant dress with a soft combination of colors. The woman's name was Cora. She was the woman my husband had been in love with fo
Addison’s POVA man with bright brown eyes stood right in front of me. I frowned, feeling familiar with the man's face. I seemed to know him before, but who?I cursed my poor memory that always had trouble recognising the faces of people I knew. I tried to recall, so I thought for a moment."Addison." The man called my name again. However, I was trying hard to remember it. Suddenly, my mind went to Damon. Ah! I hate that man. I shook my head quickly."Hey, Addison. Do you still remember me?" asked the man who was now standing right in front of me. "This is an unexpected meeting after our college days. I'm Hayden, remember?" The man again confirmed whether I remembered him or not."Ah, yes. Of course, I remember you. I'm sorry my memory is so bad." I bit my lip, hoping the man wouldn't take offense that I had forgotten him a little.Hayden smiled kindly at me. While I was cursing my lousy memory about him. Hayden was my college friend. He was one of the most intelligent kids in the cla
