There was no trace of emotion on Hayden Crawford’s handso face as he kissed Serena Sterling’s cheek, "Serena, let’s not talk about irrelevant people at this mont."
Serena turned her head, avoiding his kiss. She sat up slowly from the bed, and with a playful smile and raised eyebrows, said, "Mr. Crawford, don’t change the subject. Answer the phone quickly, don’t keep Lillian waiting."
Hayden sat up too, with a smile playing on his thin lips, "Jealous?"
Serena’s eyebrows arched as she smiled, her voice soft and sweet, "Mr. Crawford, you damn well know I’m jealous, and you keep asking?"
"..."
Hayden reached out and pinched her delicate chin with his defined fingers, his handso eyes filled with a soft indulgence, "Ladies shouldn’t cuss."
"Well, it so happens I not only love to cuss, but I also love to fight!" Serena stretched her leg and kicked Hayden off the bed.
Unprepared, Hayden was truly kicked off. Although he didn’t fall to the ground, he didn’t land as gracefully as he usually did when his feet hit the carpet.
His handso face turned cold instantly.
Hayden Crawford had never been treated so coldly before, and he frowned, staring at the little woman on the bed, his strong aura radiating out, intimidating others.
Serena raised her eyebrows, looking back at him, her enticing eyes shimring with a clear, bright light, "Hayden Crawford, let tell you, I’ve given you ti to deal with Caroline Sloan, not to let her call you in the middle of the night to upset . I can’t stand any sand in my eyes, be careful I’ll kick you out and find a new lover. I, Serena Sterling, may lack many things, but n aren’t one of them!"
"Lastly, you’re not allowed on my bed tonight, go sleep on the sofa!" With that, Serena snuggled into the covers, ignoring him, letting him amuse himself.
"..."
Hayden was frozen in place, his handso profile taut, this little wildcat!
Just then, the lodious ringtone rang again, with the na "Caroline Sloan" flashing on the phone screen. It really was a call from her.
He didn’t answer, but Caroline persisted, calling over and over.
Hayden pressed his thin lips together, then picked up the phone from the nightstand and answered it, "Hello."
Caroline’s sweet, harmless voice quickly ca through, "Mr. Crawford, am I disturbing your rest by calling so late?"
Hayden’s gaze fell on Serena’s slender figure, and he spoke calmly, "Is sothing wrong?"
"I have sothing, sothing urgent and important I want to discuss with you, Mr. Crawford. Where are you? Can I co see you now?"
Caroline wanted to co over and discuss sothing urgent in the middle of the night.
Hayden’s deep eyes were obscured by the dim light, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Alright, co find . I’m at XX Hotel, room XXX."
Hayden gave her the address and room number, then hung up the phone.
Throwing the phone aside, Hayden sat on the edge of the bed and gently pushed her, "Serena, turn around and face !"
He commanded authoritatively.
Serena didn’t move, ignoring him completely.
Hayden furrowed his brows, "Serena, are you really going to ignore ? Caroline will be here soon. Don’t cry later when I go out to et her."
"Then go et her. She can even accompany you for entertainnt!" Serena retorted defiantly.
Hayden’s handso brows knitted together, and he grasped her tender shoulder, turning her around.
"Hayden Crawford, let go!"
"Shut up! If you dare to make angry again, I’ll fight you to the death!" Hayden lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
Fight what battle? Which war?
Serena’s pupils shrank, wishing she could kick him again.
Just then, there was a "ding" as a knock sounded at the door.
"Mr. Crawford, it’s ..." Caroline had arrived.
Serena didn’t expect Caroline to arrive so quickly. She nudged the man, "Lillian’s here. Won’t you see her?"
In truth, Serena was a bit upset. Caroline wanted to co over so late, and Hayden had passively allowed her to, truly a willing participant.
Hayden’s tall, sturdy body didn’t move an inch, "Who said I’m going to see her?"
"Didn’t you tell her to co over?"
"She wanted to co, so let her. But I never said I’d et her."
What?
Serena looked at him in surprise. He had made Lillian co all the way over in the middle of the night, just to leave her standing at the door with no intention to see her. His move was harsh.
He was giving Lillian a hard slap in the face, humiliating her.
"Mr. Crawford, that’s not nice. Lillian’s so fragile, bullying her like this, she’ll cry."
Hayden pinched her cheek, "You have ti to worry about others. Think about whether I’ll make you cry later."
What does he an?
Serena hadn’t processed it all yet when suddenly the world spun, and she found herself in his arms. His strong back lazily propped against the bedhead, settling her onto his lap.
This posture...
"Mr. Crawford, I’m on my period, you can’t bully !"
Hayden pulled her into his embrace, "Ungrateful little thing, who’s really bullying who?"
The "ding" knock ca again, clearly indicating Caroline realized sothing was off, "Mr. Crawford, are you in there? I have sothing urgent and important for you. I want to see you, Mr. Crawford, can you hear ?"
Serena felt Caroline’s voice was almost heavenly, like a lifeline, "Hayden Crawford, go see Lillian, let go."
Hayden aggressively held her in his arms, then impatiently shouted towards the door, "What’s all the noise? I’m doing ’A’!"
The noise outside stopped imdiately.
Serena was so shocked she forgot to struggle. What did he just say?
Did he really... have no sha?
Such a terrifying person.
Serena tried to climb off his lap, both hands and feet in motion.
But Hayden quickly pulled her back, "Where do you think you’re going? Co give a kiss, I’ve missed you."
He whispered sweet nothings into her ear.
...
The next morning.
Serena’s long eyelashes quivered as she slowly opened her eyes.
It was already past nine o’clock, the brilliant morning light spilling in through the glass window, filling the room with a warm, golden glow.
She now lay in a warm, broad embrace. Looking up, Hayden Crawford’s flawless handso face was magnified in her view.
They went to bed so late last night, Hayden hadn’t gotten up either, indulging in a lazy half-day off, holding her as he also slept in.
