Serena was afraid the water droplets would drip down and seep into his wound, causing an infection, so she picked up a towel and gently wiped away the droplets for him.
Hayden was now facing away, unable to see the person behind him, making his senses particularly sharp. He felt a small hand with a towel gently wiping him, the careful movements exuding an extra tenderness and compassion.
At this moment, Serena opened the medical kit, took out some antiseptic cotton swabs, and began to treat Hayden’s wound.
Hayden’s awareness was entirely focused on the person behind him, his protruding Adam’s apple slowly moving as his tall waist straightened instinctively.
Serena naturally noticed his reaction. Was he... in pain?
Serena thought she might have been too rough and hurt his wound, so she quickly leaned her face close and gently blew on his wound.
This made Hayden’s long, slender eyes quickly redden. He suspected the woman behind him did it on purpose, deliberately teasing him.
Serena finished treating all the wounds and then took out a white bandage to wrap him up. Since the bandage had to go around the front and he was tall, Serena knelt on the bed, her slender white hands reaching in front of him, focusing on wrapping the bandage.
Hayden lowered his handsome gaze to watch her busy small hands. He already sensed she was kneeling behind him, and when she lowered her head, her breath cascaded against his ear.
He seemed to catch a whiff of that familiar and intoxicating scent, the youthful fragrance he adored.
At this point, everything was complete. Serena tied a final bow and withdrew her small hand, which inadvertently brushed against his firm waist...
Hayden felt a long-suppressed emotion immediately ignited. He quickly reached out his big hand, grabbed her slender wrist, and pulled her into his embrace, "Little seductress, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?"
Serena didn’t expect him to suddenly grab her. Unprepared, her delicate body stumbled backward, falling right onto his sturdy thighs.
Startled, she quickly raised her small hands to wrap around Hayden’s neck.
With his arm securing her slender waist in his grasp, Hayden held her locked in his embrace, their posture incredibly intimate.
As their eyes met, Hayden clearly saw the person in his arms, while Serena also looked at him with her panicked, clear eyes.
Hayden suddenly narrowed his deep, narrow eyes, his thin lips forming a cold arc as he immediately asked, "Why is it you? Who let you in here?"
Serena saw the sharpness and anger in his eyes. She opened her mouth to speak, but then realized she couldn’t make a sound.
"Are you mute?" Hayden furrowed his brow.
Serena didn’t know what was happening now. She trembled, looking at him with her long eyelashes, then nodded. Yes, right now she was a little mute.
Hayden noted she wasn’t particularly beautiful, but her eyes were so bright and sparkling, flickering like jewels. Right now, she was gazing at him with panic and helplessness, her eyelashes fluttering like a butterfly’s wings, truly touching, stirring his heart.
Hayden’s handsome face turned even colder and more frigid. He reached out to push her away.
Serena was pushed so roughly that she nearly stumbled. She barely managed to stand firm.
At this moment, his cold, displeased voice sounded in her ear, "Get out!"
He told her to get out.
Serena looked at him blankly, unable to react for a moment. What?
Seeing her standing still, Hayden directly extended his large hand, seized her slender arm, opened the bedroom door, and pushed her out.
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut in her face.
Serena, who was left outside, "... "
She knew he was very angry, but, why was he angry?
Could it be just because she wasn’t Melody Ashworth?
Hayden stood tall and straight in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his large hands on his waist, his handsome brow covered in a layer of cold, harsh frost, looking very upset.
He didn’t expect the person entering his room to be Serena’s maid, Cherie. Earlier, in the car, Serena had told him that this maid was vain and eager to find a wealthy man. It seemed Serena was right; this maid even dared to set her sights on him.
A maid daring to climb into her master’s man’s bed. Audacious.
Hayden’s Adam’s apple rolled, feeling even worse because his body was heated, full of fire.
And this fire was stirred up by that maid.
Hayden turned around, immediately heading to the bathroom for a cold shower.
The icy water drenched his body. Hayden closed his eyes. Now, his mind was full of Serena’s stunning features, and... the small hand that had been on his back...
Hayden suddenly opened his eyes. In his life, Serena was the only woman he had ever loved, but now, he seemed to have been tempted by a maid.
The maid’s eyes, her scent, her small hands... all felt very much like the sensation Serena gave him.
No, Hayden wouldn’t admit to a mental infidelity. He just mistook that maid for Serena.
Hayden felt he was deceiving himself because now he couldn’t stop thinking about that maid. She was affecting his emotions.
What was happening to him?
Melody had been observing the situation upstairs, and sure enough, Hayden had kicked Serena out of the room. Ha, this was truly satisfying.
Now, Hayden must be feeling very disgusted with Serena.
"Serena, it must be painful to be hated by the man you like, isn’t it?" Melody quickly stepped forward to mock Serena.
Serena glanced at Melody indifferently and then turned to go downstairs.
Melody felt she had punched cotton, irritated beyond measure. Yet she continued following Serenna, taunting, "Serena, didn’t you trust Hayden? Didn’t you say Hayden would surely break the Bewitching Technique of The Merfolk Clan? But look, he hasn’t. He took me for you, and now, standing in front of him, he doesn’t recognize you. Do you still dare to say you haven’t lost?"
Serena completely ignored Melody, proceeding into the living room.
Melody watched Serena’s calm and poised figure, gritting her teeth in frustration. In terms of demeanor, Serena always surpassed her significantly.
At this moment, a "click" sounded, and the bedroom door upstairs opened, revealing Hayden’s tall and impressive figure coming out. Newest update provided by novel~fire~net
Melody suddenly smiled, having thought of another great plan.
Melody quickly poured a cup of tea and, without a word, grabbed Serena’s small hand, "Cherie, come, have a cup of tea."
