Serena, who was threatened, "..."
Serena has always been very shy about matters between men and women, unable to let go, blushing easily at teasing. Now, Hayden traps her in the changing room, making her do such things, which has already broken through her limits.
Serena angrily opens her mouth and bites his firm shoulder. Googlᴇ search n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Hayden winces from the pain, his narrow eye corners quickly turning crimson. He grips Serena’s small waist so forcefully he could almost snap it, and he pushes her hard against the door panel.
With a bang, a noise is heard.
This sound quickly catches the attention of Axel Ashworth and Melody Ashworth outside; their gazes immediately fall on the tightly closed changing room door.
Melody Ashworth says, "Eh, is Serena inside changing into her wedding dress?"
Axel Ashworth strides over, "Serena, is that you?"
Serena quickly releases her mouth; she indeed bit Hayden, but he managed to make such a loud noise.
This man is truly arrogant beyond measure.
"The King of Nine Peaks, it’s me. I... I’m inside changing into a wedding dress, but the... size doesn’t seem quite right..." Serena lies.
Axel Ashworth stops, "Do you need me to call someone to help you?"
Serena swiftly refuses, "No need, I’ll try again."
"Alright." Axel Ashworth leaves.
Listening to the gradually receding footsteps, Serena’s nerves finally relax, when suddenly her vision darkens, and Hayden lowers his head to block her lips.
Serena quickly tries to push him away, "Hayden, be gentle, don’t leave marks on me. I have to go take wedding photos later..."
Hayden fiercely glares at her, "I thought about you all night yesterday, felt terrible all over, now open my belt!"
Axel Ashworth sits on the sofa flipping through the newspaper, quietly waiting for Serena, but Melody Ashworth is already impatient. She checks the time, "Brother Axel, why hasn’t Sister Serena come out yet, it’s been ten minutes."
Axel Ashworth keeps reading the newspaper without lifting his head, "Trying on wedding dresses is rather cumbersome, surely it takes time. Melody, why are you more anxious than me, the groom-to-be?"
Melody Ashworth is left speechless by this retort.
At this moment, with a click, the changing room door opens, and Serena walks out.
"Sister Serena, you finally came out; why aren’t you wearing the wedding dress?" Melody Ashworth runs forward.
Serena has already taken off the wedding dress and is wearing her own clothes, "Oh, the wedding dress is too small, I couldn’t fit into it."
Axel Ashworth walks over, looking at Serena at this moment. Serena’s exquisite face is flushed, like tempting blush, and she seems like a freshly blooming bud, stunning and alluring.
Axel Ashworth has never seen Serena before; he can’t help but gaze at her more. In his memory, the Princess of Alani is always brilliant and wise, calm and decisive, and now even her elegant brows are tinged with charm, making it hard to look away.
Axel Ashworth slowly narrows his ink-black eyes. If Serena was not with a man just now, he definitely would not believe it.
Axel Ashworth looks into the changing room. Now, the door is open, the inside is empty, seemingly without any abnormalities.
However, no abnormality is the real abnormality; Serena wasn’t changing clothes in there a moment ago.
Axel Ashworth is quite curious; he’s curious about what kind of man can manage this stunning Princess of Alani.
Melody Ashworth chuckles, "Sister Serena, how could the wedding dress be small? Perhaps... you’ve gained weight?"
"..." Serena really doesn’t want to engage with Melody Ashworth.
"Serena, there’s still enough time. I’ll have the designer make adjustments to the dress, and meanwhile, we’ll go take the wedding photos." Axel Ashworth says.
"Okay, I’ll go to the restroom first." Serena heads to the restroom.
In the restroom, Serena stands at the washbasin furiously scrubbing her hands, but thinking about what happened in the changing room earlier, she feels her hands can’t be cleaned no matter how much she washes.
Serena is both ashamed and angry, but she quickly composes herself and walks out.
Outside, Serena quickly spots a familiar tall figure, Hayden!
He really is a lingering spirit, coming back again!
Hayden is now standing next to Axel Ashworth, the two handsome men chatting, while Melody Ashworth is exceedingly happy about bumping into Hayden, standing next to him like a delicate bird, filled with admiration and affection in her eyes.
Axel Ashworth sees Serena, he speaks out, "Serena, you came at the right time. This is Mr. Crawford, coincidentally met here today."
Serena walks over, her bright eyes falling on Hayden. His tailored black shirt and pants are without any creases or disorder; the sexy, decadent desire from before has completely vanished, restored to his usual handsome, noble, and restrained cold demeanor.
Serena thought of a term—wolf in sheep’s clothing!
Serena smiles graciously, greeting, "Mr. Crawford, hello, didn’t expect to bump into you here."
Hayden, having just been satisfied, is in a good mood. He raises an impressive brow, looking at Serena, "Princess of Alani, didn’t we just meet?"
With this remark, the atmosphere tenses.
"Mr. Crawford, Sister Serena, where did you meet just now?" Melody Ashworth asks.
Serena fiercely glares at Hayden; he’s playing tricks on her now, this vile man, "Ha, Mr. Crawford, you must be mistaken; we didn’t meet."
"Oh, really?" Hayden looks at Serena’s bristling appearance, pretending he’s naive, making him laugh, "Whatever the Princess of Alani says, must be true."
"..." Serena feels as if she’s choking on a mouthful of blood ready to spurt.
Axel Ashworth looks at Hayden and Serena, in his ink-black eyes flashes deep contemplation. If at the beginning he was still guessing at the relationship between these two, now he’s certain, Hayden is the man!
Hayden is the one who has captivated Serena!
Melody Ashworth also senses the air between Hayden and Serena is somewhat ambiguous and charming; wherever they are together, it seems no third party can come between them.
"Mr. Crawford, Brother Axel and Sister Serena are going to the beach to take wedding photos. I’m going too, why don’t you join us?" Melody Ashworth cordially invites.
Serena rolls her eyes at Melody Ashworth, thinking, who’s getting their wedding photo taken—Is it you, Sue? Is it you?
