Chapter 116
Dylann, across from me, was stunned for a moment, his eyes showing as much surprise as mine. The chatter around us brought me back to reality,
ever comes to the cafeteria. It seems he has been coming
“Look! Mr. Parker is sitting beside his wife now one man exclaimed. “Mr. Parker hardly ever com here more frequently lately, another man remarked
“Rumor has it they’re getting a divorce, but it doesn’t seem that way Bour. Wasn’t Joanna fired? Could it be that Mrs. Parker won?
These individuals were really prompt in picking up on the latest gossip. Observing that I had remained motionless for some time, Hayden said. “Why have you stopped eating!”
When he arrived, he noticed that the table was filled with minth and was curious as to what was causing Dylan and Yvonne to be so jovial. He was puzzled as to why Dylan and Yvonne had become silent when he appeared.
My eyes shifted slightly, and I instinctively leaned away from him, wanting to keep some distance. I began eating again to ease the awkwardness.
Dylan, nevertheless, responded, “Oh. Mr. Parker also has his meals in the cafeteria. He had always presumed that CEOs only indulged in gourmet fare and was taken aback to witness them having such commonplace experiences
Upon hearing this, Hayden directed his cold, steely eyes towards him, an air of intimidation emanating from them. “You’re here as well?”
“Yeah, Yvonne assisted me with my business affairs, and as it was lunchtime, she invited me here to have a meal, Dylan stated frankly,
He could perceive Hayden’s animosity towards him, and his own sense of male rivalry was stirred. I caught wind of a few rumors on my way here, something regarding Mr. Parker and Ms. Charlotte…
You heard it wrong” Hayden abruptly interrupted, cutting him short, Dylan glanced at me with a puzzled look, as if asking for confirmation from

I figured Hayden was merely safeguarding his reputation, and I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disdain within. In a situation like this, why bother fretting over his reputation!
They fell in love at first sight, didn’t they? You didn’t hear it wrong I farly hid it out there about Hayden
He was about to become a dad, yet he was still lying. The more be behaved like this, the less respect I had for him
The doubt in Dylan’s eyes grew deeper. I thought he’d be unsure about whom to inuet, bus the next moment, he just gave me a slight smile. “‘Yvonne. I trust you.”
He had always placed his unwavering trust in me without hesitation. It was as if, even if the entire world were to cast doubts upon me, he would never do so. To claim that I wasn’t moved would be untrue. I smiled in return
“How have your studies been going lately?” I couldn’t refrain from asking, prompted by may concem. “It’s going well. It was a bit unfamiliar at first. but I’m picking it up quickly,” Dylan replied, his youthful face beaming with confidence
He was truly intelligent. Even with the abrupt transition to studying medicine, it didn’t appear overly challenging for him. Moreover, since it was for the sake of the person he loved, he was all the more driven to put in great effort and study diligently.
“Still plavi
I playing tennis?” I asked again. “Yes,” Dylan nodded. “Being fit is key to success. Working out helps me study beter
Plus, playing tennis gave him a chance to run into Quinn, from whom he had learned quite a bit about the Jackson family.
At this moment, something suddenly occurred to him. “Hey, has there been anything happening at your place recently!” I didn’t pay much heed and carried on with my meal. “What sort of thing?
Dylan hesitated for a brief moment before stating, “I learned from Quinn that his mother and stepfather have been having arguments, perhaps regarding whether he can adopt the Jackson family name”
Theutated briefly and then composed myself. “That’s their family business.” My words surprised Dylan and Hayden. Their gazes changed a litle as they looked at me, but neither said a thing. They just stared at me differemly and didn’t ask more.
Instead, I remained unconcerned, managing a smile. “I’ve grown up. I can’t always stick by my dad’s side, can 1? How many kids he has is none of my business”
“I get it.” Dylan nodded. He always took my words to hear without doubting them, thus Hayden knitted his brows. “Did he come to you just for

asked Dylan. “Are you done? Shall we go?
“Sure!” Dylan followed me obediently, as if he would come along no matter where I went or what I did.
Taking a few steps forward, Dylan hesitated and asked, “Yonne, are we really just leaving Mr. Parker like this?”
“We’ve finished eating, why would we stay?” I replied casually, my gaze slightly falling, without turning back. I didn’t need to turn around to know Hayden would definitely have an upset expression.
I couldn’t work out what he’d been doing recently, showing up in front of me from time to time. Could it be that, like Joanna, he also wanted to boast about having a child!
I was lost in these thoughts the whole time and didn’t notice that after Dylan and I left, Zachary sat down across from Hayden
He had been watching from the side carlier. Strictly speaking, he was aware that Hayden had come to the cafeteria and followed him all the way. He noticed everything that happened around Hayden cartier.
At this moment, seeing Hayden staring absentmindedly towards the exit, he couldn’t help but grin. “Can’t stand to see them leave, huh? Why not go after them!”
Upon hearing this, the yearning in Hayden’s eyes disappeared entirely, giving way to an icy aloofness. “Did you also come to the cafeteria to have a
meal
“As the vice president, 1 need to see what the employees eat every day!” Zachary smirked with pride. “But Mr. Parker, why are you here? Why lower yourself?”
Hayden glanced at him and picked up a napkin to gently wipe the corners of his already clean mouth. “As the president of the company, I need to see what the VP and employees are rating every day too.”
Zachary’s face suddenly froze. It was perfectly clear that Hayden was saying the company belonged to him…
Clenching his teeth. Hayden knew he didn’t have the upper hand in this matter, so be changed the subject. Tm really looking forward of tonight’s ball I wonder who Yvonne will dance with
“Zachary, you’re overstepping your boundaries, Hayden reminded him coldly
“I didn’t say anything wrong, did I Can’t I mention Tvonne’s name! I heard you two are getting a divorce; to need to be so worked up.” He smirked maliciously.
He really enjoyed sering Hayden so tenset Rumor had is that Hayden had feelings for Joanna, but Zachary felt that it seemed like Hayden hadn’t pollen over Yvonne yer
Finally, he had found a weakness in Hayden’s armort Zachary, do you enjoy gossip that much? Hayder narrowed his eyes dangerously, leaning back deeply in his chair.
“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. I heard that Joanna and you fell for each other overseas and have been inseparable since,” Zachary continued.
Hayden interrupted, clearly
ly irritated. “You seem overly interested in my personal life
“Not at all.” Zachary quickly shook his head, then put on a serious expression. 1 just wanted to let you know that once you and Yvonne split, I’m going to pursue her.”
