Chapter 207
Hayden looked at Staceyâs red cars and smiled. He gently lowered his head, kissed her on the lips, and asked, âTrust me, okay!â
Her heart was pounding. Stacey could hardly look at him anymore. She wanted to break free, but her hands and feet wouldnât budge, as if they were controlled by something.
âWeâll be very happy together, as well as Lillian and Kevin, Jeremy, and the other children,â Hayden promised.
Stacey finally broke free from his grasp. She turned around and ran away quickly.
Hayden was stunned for a while before holding his hands together, a smile curling at his lips.
Stacey didnât reject him.
Thus, his efforts these days hadnât been in vain.
At least, she wouldnât have directly told him they were incompatible like before.
At that, Hayden decided to work hard,
While thinking that, a person suddenly appeared from the corner. It was Queenie.
Hayden frowned instantly, turning around and walking in the direction Stacey left.
Queenie ran over anxiously and tried to grab Haydenâs arm, but Hayden turned around and avoided her.
âQueenie, youâre an adult now. You should be more mature,â Hayden said indifferently.
Queenie paled, croaking, âHâHaydenâ¦. Do you really like Becky?
His bad mood suddenly brightened when he heard her question. He smiled and nodded. âYesâ
Queenie suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. She demanded, âWhat about Jeremy? If we get back together, Jeremy can have a complete family. Weâre his parents.
The smile on Haydenâs face slowly disappeared. He looked at Queenie and sneered. âYou keep repeating the same thing. Is that the only thing you know? Who taught you to say that! Your mom or your dad?â
Queenieâs face darkened even more as Hayden continued.
Hayden stood straight before Queenie. He gave off a domineering air as he was a head taller than her. âQueenie, let me repeat. We have divorced, so stop pestering me. If you refuse to listen, I donât mind asking your grandfather to discipline you.â
âYourâ Queenie gasped, staring at Hayden with a gloomy face.
Hayden turned around and left expressionlessly.
Queenie anxiously wanted to catch up with Hayden. However, she paused after recalling his words. She couldnât keep pestering him anymore.
By how afraid his grandfather was of the Hoggard family, he would stop her from pestering Hayden if the latter complained
to him.
The most important thing was the familyâs shares. Queenieâs grandfather was more biased toward her cousins, so he might end up giving all the companyâs shares to them.

Chapter 207
Debra took the children back to their room and asked the maid to take them to bathe.
After playing outside for a whole day, their body was covered in sweat and sand. It felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Stacey headed back before they finished their shower.
As the door was locked, Stacey rang the doorbell several times. Seeing there was no response, she felt a little confused.
After waiting for a long time, Debra came out of the shower and vaguely heard the doorbell. Thus, she hurried out and opened the door.
âWhy are you back?â Debra was surprised.
Stacey was rendered speechless. Not wanting to explain to Debra, Stacey went in without answering.
Looking at her daughterâs red ears, Debra soon understood and smiled meaningfully. Debra closed the door after seeing that Hayden wasnât outside. âLily and Kev are taking a shower, Debra explained to Stacey after returning to the room.
The hotel room they booked was similar to a suite. There were several rooms in it, each with an attached bathroom, so everyone could take a shower at the same time just now,
Stacey paused for a moment before nodding. âOkay, Stacey quickly entered the room and closed the door. Her heart was still thumping when she recalled Haydenâs words. She took several deep breaths before heading to the shower with a set of clothes.
After taking a shower, she decided she wasnât in the mood to think about what happened. Thus, she took out her computer and opened her mailbox.
As expected, Hayden sent her a new email. It was information about Eugene.
Stacey quickly scanned through the information and tried to memorize it. However, she couldnât help but think about Haydenâs words when looking at the information.
Stacey felt nervous. It was easy for her to get nervous when faced with an unfamiliar client.
This was unless she could treat her life like a television show.
Acting was what she was good at. Thinking of this, she came to the mirror and tried to adjust her expression.
When she suppressed her emotions and tried to control herself to act like a confident businesswoman, it seemed to be working.
However, life wasnât like what they acted in dramas.
She couldnât overexpress herself. If she did that, it would give others a bad feeling.
Thinking about that, Stacey looked at herself in the mirror and tried to readjust her expression. She tried hard for a time. It took her half an hour to feel good in her skin. However, Stacey wasnât sure if she could pull it off.
long
Stacey pulled up Eugeneâs profile and read through it twice. After that, she returned to the mirror to train her expression.
Someone suddenly knocked on the door, and Lillianâs childish voice sounded. âMommy! Mommy!â
âOpen the door, Mommy!â Kevin also shouted outside.
Stacey returned to her senses at once. She hurried over and opened the door.

I
When the door opened, Lillian and Kevin immediately poked their heads into the room curiously.
Stacey was confused by their actions and couldnât help asking, âWhat are you guys looking at?â
Kevin turned to look at Stacey and asked in a childish voice, âWhereâs Daddy?â
Lillian was also confused. âYeah. Where did Daddy go? Didnât he return with you?â
Stacey was speechless.
âI guess he had already returned home,â Stacey answered carefully. Her ears reddened when she thought about how she had dumped him and left.
âWhy doesnât Daddy live with us?â Lillian asked a difficult question again.
Kevin said seriously, âLorettaâs parents live together!â
Lillian nodded firmly. âThatâs right!â
Stacey was frightened and hurriedly covered their mouths. She was glad that Hayden wasnât here. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed to death!
Pondering about it, Stacey squatted down and decided to explain to them, âLillian, Kevin, my relationship with Hayden is different from Lorettaâs parents. Weâre not married, so we canât live together. In the future, donât say such things before Mr. Hoggard⦠Hayden. Okay?â
