Chapter 260

“Out!”

Hayden lowered his head and stepped aside, leaving the path by the bed for Joseph to leave the room.

Joseph, however, didn’t leave. He just stared at Hayden with his cold, sharp eyes.

“Okay, if you don’t want to leave fine. Then I’ll leave.” Hayden took a deep breath as she tried to remain calm. Then, she took a big step forward and walked toward the door.

Before she could take two steps forward, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by him, causing her whole body to lurch and fall backwards onto the bed.

“What are you doing?” Hayden placed a hand against Joseph’s chest, “Let go of me. Have you forgotten what happened before? If you dare do anything…I’ll call the police.”

“You can do it.” Joseph looked at her confidently, “I’ll help you find a lawyer if you need one, you can sue me until I’m sentenced to jail. No matter what you say, I’ll cooperate with you.”

“You’re crazy.” Hayden struggled and slapped him, “You’re a psycho.”

Joseph grabbed his hand. “I became a psychopath after I fell in love with you.”

Hayden looked at him in shock. He didn’t seem to believe her words.

She didn’t know that Joseph enjoyed looking at her innocent face at that moment.

…

She knew he was only pretending to love her, but she still couldn’t resist his temporary affection.

She could not deny that the man in front of her was of utmost importance in her life, besides her family members.

Joseph loved her by resisting him a little, just like that.

She didn’t know why she felt a little drunk, even if she hadn’t drunk any alcohol.

In the morning, Hayden had passed out because she was too exhausted.

Joseph hugged her and treated her like a precious treasure.

He confirmed that she still loved him. Therefore, he could overcome the challenge where she still had some reasons for not wanting to accept him as her boyfriend.

The bathtub was full of steaming water. After sending Hayden to the bathroom, he got out and found himself in new pajamas.

It was already dawn. The alarm clock on the bedside table read seven-thirty.

Joseph’s phone rang. He looked away from the closet and glanced at the side of the bed.

“Hello?”

“Is this Mr. Beckham?”

“Yes.”

“Hi. This is the manager of DAY Jewelry, N Plaza City store. Do you remember that you and your friend, Mr. Jackman came to our store to customize a diamond ring and asked us for information about a necklace?”

“Yes.”

“Well, we found out something about the necklace that you asked us to investigate, we found out that a lady had come in with that necklace and asked us to investigate it about six months ago.”

“Did you find out who the lady was?”.

“The young lady just left her phone number, the young lady is a member of the Downey Family.”
