Chapter 62
My head was spinning. I thought Marlon had gone off the deep end with his sappy talk, and Hayden’s face was darker than a blacksmith’s coal. If I didn’t step in, these two were gonna clash
I let out a sigh and tugged Marlon aside. “It’s getting late. You should get going
“Really?” Marlon raised an eyebrow at me and then glanced at Hayden
Trust me. He won’t mess with me” I casually said, ushering him into his car.
Watching him drive off, I finally felt like I could breathe again. I was still counting an him to help me with Jackson Group’s shares; if Hayden got wind of it, I would be in deep trouble.
“So hard to say goodbye? Why not just leave with him? Hayden’s voice, cold as ice, came from beside me,
I narrowed my eyes. Any good vibes from my evening with Marlon were gone in a flash
Turning around, I locked eyes with Hayden. For a moment, he felt like a stranger, far away. Ten years, and I never really got him.
Seeing I wasn’t talking, Hayden continued. “You brushed me off, and then you messed up with Marlon, Yvonne, you’ve surprised me!” His tone had a tinge of jealousy, though I didn’t pick up on it.
Honestly, a man who hadn’t given me the time of day in ten years couldn’t be jealous of a man I knew. I let out a cold laugh
“You’re with Joanna, and I haven’t baned an eye. We’re about to split anyway. Why pretend to care who we’re with? Let’s just be real with each other,” 1 declared.
My words seemed to hit a nerve. The intensity in his eyes could have swallowed me whole. “So you’re really with Marlon!! The veins on his forehead pulsed, and he bit out each word with force. His blatant anger caught my attention.
Under the streetlight, his tall figure cast a menacing shadow, as eerie as ghosts and goblins. I wondered if Hayden used to be this irritable. No, he rarely spoke to me, let alone said so much and got this angry.
Everyone in Elysiumville knew he was a cool customer, never easily angered, always calm no matter what. I felt he only got this angry with me.
Bitterly umiling. I faced this reality, about to say something when a sudden, intense dizziness overwhelmed me. Everything went black, and 1 swayed towards the ground.
Just before I passed out, I distinctly heard a tense and worried male voice call out to me. “Yonne Then, 1 fell into a warm embrace. I didn’t know if it was Hayden, but there was no one else around.
According to his character, he should have let me collapse. Before I could think more, I was completely swallowed by the endless darkness
One moment Hayden was seething with no outlet for his anger, and the next he saw Yvonne, who had angered him so much, faint right in front of him.
Forgetting his anger, he instinctively rushed to catch her faltering body. “Yvonnel” In his urgency, he called her name intimately 25 if by instinct, without any pretense. After calling out twice with no response, he didn’t hesitate and quickly carried her back to the villa,
“What happened to Mrs. Parker? Rita rushed over, anxious.
“She suddenly fainted.” Hayden placed Yvonne on the sofa, his large hand on my forehead. “She doesn’t have a fever.
“Is it low blood sugar? Rita asked, her eyes filled with countless worries. “Mrs. Parker has lost a lot of weight recently
Hayden’s eyes slightly darkened as he said, “She just had dinner.
Unable to figure it out. kita quickly ran out. “I call the doctor
Ever since Deborah moved in, a resident doctor was arranged, making it much more convenient than going to the hospital,
The room went quiet as Rita slipped out, leaving Hayden holding the limp form of Yvonne. A nagging feeling of uncase settled over him, like cloud casting a shadow.
He felt a rising panic and a sense of disquiet he couldn’t quite name, but he knew it was bad, and it was all about the woman in his arms.

He found himself wondering, “Why did she pass out like that? Since I’ve been back, she’s always falling ill, crying at night. And how come she’s so thin! She’s all skin and bones. Does she even eat?
Before Hayden knew it, these thoughts had been racing through his mind. He hadn’t even realized he’d been so attuned to Yvonne’s life lately.
Soon, Rita returned with the doctor, who, after a thorough check–up, declared Yvonne to be alright. She was likely just overwhelmed and worn out. exacerbated by her earlier dip in the water, and her diet hadn’t been keeping up, leading to a momentary blackout.
Visibly relieved, Rita let out a deep breath. Thank goodness she’s okay.”
Deborah, who had hurried over upon hearing the news, frowned deeply and fixed Hayden with a stern gaze. “Come with me!”
Hayden, his face set in a grim mask, followed without a word.
In the living room, with one seated and the other on their feet, the air was thick with tension
“You heard what the doctor said,” Deborah said, her voice cutting. Hayden remained silent
Deborah pressed on, “She was overwhelmed, obviously because of the woman you’re seeing on the side! Not to mention,
- Yvonne waited for you for a year. You should at least treat her better!” She was genuinely concerned for the two young people.
“Grandmother, it’s not what you think. Hayden said, his expression a mix of emotions.
“I don’t care about you and that woman. Yverine is your wife. Once she’s back on her feet, you should get busy and have a child!” Deborah commanded sternly. The idea of a mistress gave her a headache.
“Grandmother.” Hayden tried to say more, but Deborah cut him off ruthlessly.
“Having a child will keep you from constantly thinking about divorce, and Yvonne can focus on raising the baby! Also, the Parker family won’t recognize a child born out of wedlock, so you better think this through” Deborah said.
With that. Deborah got up and headed upstairs. She needed to check on her poor daughter in law.
Hayden sat alone in the living room, his brows knitted in thought, Deborah’s words echoing in his mind. Having a child will keep you from constantly thinking about divorce.
If Yvonne and I had a child, would she stop insisting on leaving me? Hayden wondered. As the thought just crossed his mind, it surprised even himself.
He suspected, deep down, that he didn’t want Yvonne to leave. To keep her by his side, he was even considering having a
r a child with her.
