There was a brief pause as she made up her mind. Wyneth would have to meet him sooner or later, given her decision. "Later. I'm heading to the hospital now. Calm your grandfather down first; tell him I've gone to buy him a gift.""Alright." Hayden's tone bore a hint of smug satisfaction.This slight indication of joy was subtle, extremely low-key and nuanced. The average person would not have picked up on it, but Wyneth, having known Hayden for so long, caught it instantly. She pressed her lips together, hanging up the call swiftly.Ronnie watched her carefully. "Ms. Walford, where should we go now?""To the supermarket first, then the hospital."Since she said she would bring a gift, she should buy one first, or Benedict would not believe her."Alright, I'll take you to the supermarket right away.""Where's Wyneth?" Benedict was sitting on the hospital bed, his expression deeply troubled."She went back to prepare some food, why hasn't she returned? Hayden, did you upset her a

The voice abruptly ceased upon spotting the figures within the elevator. At the same time, Hayden swiftly pulled Wyneth behind him. But the speaker, none other than Serena Pierce, had already locked eyes with Wyneth in a moment of surprise.'How can I describe those eyes? A fleeting glance, yet their beauty defies all conventional adjectives: They're spirited, clear like water, but with a touch of icy coolness. Like a frozen lake on the peak of a lofty mountain range. The most important thing is, they seem familiar, as if I've seen them somewhere before. No, no... I shouldn't be focusing on this woman right now,' Serena thought, snapping out of it."M-Mr. Hamilton..." Facing Hayden's icy gaze, Serena started trembling.'W-What did I just say? Did I just badmouth other artists in the company in front of Mr. Hamilton? I'm doomed. If there's one thing Hayden hates, it's his artists playing games and backstabbing each other. Once caught, best case scenario is that I'll be let go, at wor

'How could she not know with the ruckus we've caused?' Hayden wondered.In an attempt to dissipate any overthinking on Wyneth's part, he said, "If you're really uncomfortable keeping it, you could return it to Grandma yourself."At this, Wyneth held his gaze wordlessly. "If your grandma was willing to take it back, would I have come to you?""Well," Hayden reasoned, "since Grandma refuses to take it, if I were to accept it now, I'd probably get an earful."Wyneth was speechless.'So, he's afraid of a scolding?'It made sense. She had noticed that Gwendolyn and Benedict were less than kind in their conversations with Hayden, starkly different from his own mother. Gwendolyn was one thing; her mild temperament was evident. But Benedict was a different story; he spared no mercy when reprimanding Hayden, treating him not as an adult but rather a child.Processing this, Wyneth put the bracelet away. Neither of them had expected the conversation to end so swiftly. Both of them were peo

Perhaps it was the softness that had seeped into Hayden's gaze that led them to believe that, just maybe, he was in a more agreeable mood. Thus, one person could not resist the itch to gossip and asked, "Mr. Hamilton, is this your girlfriend?"Hearing this, Hayden's eyes instantly turned cold. He looked into the camera, adjusting the laptop so the woman resting on his shoulder was hidden from view. Before, they had a glimpse of her forehead and hair; now, they could not even see their boss's face."If you have this much leisure time for gossip, why don't you consider changing careers and become a paparazzo?" He suggested icily.Silence. Their boss was still their boss. Even if he revealed a hint of tenderness for a woman, it had nothing to do with them."Time's about up. Let's wrap it up for today."Without waiting for any responses, Hayden abruptly ended the call. After shutting his laptop, he found that the woman resting on his shoulder remained undisturbed. He glanced at Wyneth

Upon hearing the commotion outside, Benedict posed a question, and Gigi's voice promptly followed."Mr. Hamilton Sr., it's probably the paparazzi who followed us here trying to sneak in. Don't worry about it. I'll handle it."With that, Gigi got up and exited the room. When she had entered the room, she had left all her bodyguards at the door, instructing them to prevent the paparazzi or media from sneaking in. Although Gigi rather liked the idea of the media capturing her visiting Benedict, she understood the Hamilton family's rules. Some things should not be rushed.She had only leaked the information that she would be visiting, allowing the media and paparazzi to snap some pictures of her at the hospital entrance. Then she would release some press releases, spreading the rumor of her imminent good news with Hayden, and that would be enough. Everything else would unfold in due time.With this mindset, Gigi gracefully exited the room. Upon stepping out, her eyes fell immediately o
