Hayden Crawford trapped Serena between the wall and his chest. He raised his hand to tug at the shirt button, his movements wicked and wild, "So where did your little thing go?" "I don’t know," Serena was completely stunned. She looked around in panic, "Someone must have stolen it, there’s a thief!" "Hmm." A sound rolled out from Hayden’s throat. He took her soft, boneless hand and guided it to his firm waist, "Look, is this yours?" Hayden felt like a big bad wolf, and Serena was a little white rabbit. He slowly coaxed her to fall into his trap, then he would swallow her whole. Soon, Serena jerked her hand back like she had been shocked, "That’s not my little thing, that’s not..." Hayden lowered his gaze to her. She seemed frightened, her clear eyes darting like a scared fawn, carrying an inexplicable sense of taboo. Hayden slowly curled his thin lips, "Weren’t you always looking for your little thing? How do you know it’s not yours?" "It’s just not mine, I know. Mine is small, and this is... big..." Serena hadn’t finished her sentence when Hayden’s eyes darkened, and he leaned down to kiss her red lips. Serena quickly turned her head to avoid it. Hayden didn’t manage to kiss her; his thin lips landed on her long hair. He took the opportunity to bury his handsome face in her hair, inhaling her sweet maiden scent, "Serena Sterling, what do you mean, hmm? Are you playing with me?" "I’m not." Serena wrapped her small arms around his neck and tilted her little head to look at him, her speech slurred, "Don’t you just want my body? I can, I can... agree to that, but you must let me see Caden..." Hayden’s deep, narrow eyes suddenly squinted. The burning emotions in his eyes faded a bit, revealing a hint of coldness. Even drunk , she hadn’t forgotten her mission. If not for Caden, she wouldn’t have come looking for him at all. Hayden gave her one look, then released her and turned to leave. "Hayden Crawford, where are you going?" Serena quickly chased after him. Hayden didn’t leave the presidential suite but went into the bathroom, filling the large bathtub with cold water. The water soaked his suit pants, but he didn’t care at all. "Hayden Crawford, are you angry again? Sorry, sorry..." Serena rushed over, hugging his neck and kissing his handsome face. Hayden didn’t respond, he even dodged a bit, but she still managed to get several kisses on him. No matter how passionate she was now, it wouldn’t make him happy, because he clearly understood that this was just a transaction. He had won, making her bow to him, making her take the initiative to seek goodwill and reconciliation, even making her offer her body, yet he felt no victory. "Hayden Crawford, what’s wrong? Don’t you like me anymore~" Serena’s soft body clung to him like an octopus, seeing his indifferent attitude. She bit her lower lip and slowly kissed his prominent Adam’s apple. She remembered how sensitive he was there. When she had kissed him there before, he had reacted so intensely. Hayden quickly restrained his handsome eyes; the feelings that had dispersed earlier resurged, and even his long eye corners turned scarlet. He hated her, but he hated himself even more. He hated himself for being unable to refuse her. If she so much as beckoned, he’d trot over like a happy puppy. Just a little temptation from her, and his body would give the most honest and loyal reaction. It was like he was already poisoned by her. Of course, Serena felt his body gradually heating up. Just then, she felt as if the world was spinning, Hayden had already picked her up horizontally. Serena felt a secret joy inside, thinking Hayden had taken the bait, "Hayden, I..." Serena was about to speak, but in the next second, Hayden’s hand loosened, and with a thud, she fell directly into the large bathtub. Cold water surged from all directions, instantly submerging her. Serena, caught off guard, floundered in the cold water, flailing her limbs a few times before popping her little head out. Now she was utterly miserable, like a drowned rat. "Hayden Crawford, what are you doing?" Serena rubbed the water off her little face and looked at the man outside the bathtub in shock. Hayden stood tall with long legs, watching her anger and dishevelment coldly, then he slightly lifted his thin lips, "Sobered up yet?" "I don’t want to go to bed with a drunk, Serena Sterling. Do you really need alcohol to be with me now? Are you trying to numb yourself?" Hayden’s hawk-like narrow eyes stared at her sharply, as though he had already seen through her true thoughts. Serena’s long lashes were dotted with crystal-clear water droplets, and now those lashes fluttered, exposing a hint of guilt in her clear eyes. Indeed, she didn’t want to engage in intimacy with him. Every time he would hurt her, it was so painful. Plus, he had been with so many women; just last night he had rolled in bed with that Faye. Just thinking about it made her want to throw up. She had to get herself drunk, she had to numb herself first. Hayden had already gotten the answer from her face, and the rage quickly erupted in his strong chest, but he forced himself to suppress it, "Serena Sterling, I can let you see Caden Crawford first." "Really?" Serena hadn’t expected Hayden not only wasn’t angry but also kindly let her see Caden first. He must have conditions. Sure enough, Hayden continued, "After you see Caden, I hope you’re not a block of wood beneath me. I don’t fancy that kind of thing. Understand what I mean?" Serena’s face went pale; she understood. Hayden had expressed it very directly. A few seconds later, she nodded, "I know what to do now." Hayden couldn’t be bothered to look at her, he just turned and left. Serena had sobered up. She quickly composed herself, then walked into the room. Hayden wasn’t in the room, but he was quick, Corvus had already brought little Caden Crawford over.

"Hmm, I missed Fairy Teacher too." Little Caden nodded, his voice childish and carrying a hint of adorableness. "Caden, you can finally talk now." Serena looked at little Caden in delight, the heavy burden in her heart finally lifted.
