Serena Sterling’s reaction right now isn’t fake, because she took medication. She lied just now, that small white pill wasn’t birth control, it was an aphrodisiac. Now, she doesn’t want to be intimate with Hayden Crawford at all, but since Hayden won’t let her go, she had to take this medicine. This time, she took a heavy dose, and now her whole body feels like it’s burning. Her little hand moved down, urgently trying to undo the belt of his robe. But, the more anxious she became, the messier it got, she couldn’t untie it no matter what. Hayden Crawford watched her eager manner, her flushed little face burning, a fine layer of crystalline sweat dotting her forehead, filled with desire for him. Hayden curled his thin lips, his voice hoarse as he chuckled, "Take it slow, what’s the rush?" Serena was on the brink of tears from not being able to untie it. She kissed his handsome face messily, murmuring softly, "Hayden Crawford, I need you!" Who knows how much time passed, Hayden carried Serena out of the bathroom and placed her onto the soft, large bed. Serena closed her eyes, not wanting to move at all. Her body was completely exhausted, not even having the strength to move a finger. Little Caden Crawford was asleep inside, still lost in sweet dreams. Serena slowly moved over, wanting to cuddle the little bundle to sleep. But in the next second, a strong arm reached over, wrapped around her soft waist, and pulled her back, pressing her against a warm, strong chest. Hayden Crawford held onto her. Serena moved slightly, "I want to sleep with Caden." "Not allowed." Hayden pressed his determined chin against her forehead, nuzzling, "You can only sleep with me." This man really is... strong and domineering! He wouldn’t allow her to bathe Caden, nor to sleep with him! Serena suddenly felt as if he was even jealous of their son, such a sour jealousy tank! Now Serena was sleeping in the middle, with Caden inside and Hayden outside, the scene soft and heartwarming. Serena didn’t move anymore, burying her little face in Hayden’s heartbeat, listening to the strong "thump thump" from his heart, she felt her whole heart settle down. In this world, there is a man like Hayden Crawford. Nestled in his arms, the storms outside came to an abrupt halt. Serena raised her little hand, her slender white fingers crawling inside his robe, landing on his heart. The stab she delivered three years ago left a deep scar. Serena’s fingertips gently traced the scar, then she propped her tired body up, her red lips falling onto the scar. She began kissing the scar little by little. Hayden lay on the bed, one hand gently holding her in his embrace, looking up at the dim crystal chandelier, feeling her soft lips roaming over his scar, tender and bittersweet. The corners of his narrow eyes quickly covered with a crimson hue, his large hand weaving into her long hair, chuckling hoarsely, "Not enough yet?" Serena’s long eyelashes quivered, burying her little face in his chest quickly, "Mr. Crawford, they say overly desirous men tend to go bald easily." Hayden’s thin lips curled into a pleased arc, "What to do then? I’m short-tempered, petty, and overly desirous. Looks like there’s no saving me?" Serena thought he had a rather accurate self-awareness. Pity that the world was deceived by his handsome, wealthy appearance, and powerful demeanor. At this moment, Hayden’s thin lips landed on her forehead, then slowly moved down, kissing her eyes, the tip of her nose, and finally, her red lips. Even though he didn’t say anything, Serena knew he intended to go another round. Serena felt his stamina was terrifyingly good. Although 32 was a prime age, he was a bit excessively demanding, making her scared. Updates are released by novèlfire.net Serena quickly closed her eyes, "I’m so sleepy, going to sleep now, good night." Hayden paused, looking at her constantly trembling eyelashes. Her little games were not enough to fool him. But now it was quite late, already the early morn. Beautiful as she was, dark circles of fatigue shadowed beneath those eyes. Tonight, he experienced first-hand what "warm nights of spring" meant, hence the saying that the king no longer sought the early court. "Sleep, good night." Hayden held her, gently closing his own eyes. Hayden really fell asleep, embracing Serena to sleep for the first time in these three years, her fragrant, soft body nestled obediently in his arms like a little kitten. He slept soundly, without any disturbance throughout the night. The next morning, as golden sunlight filtered through the layered curtains, Hayden opened his eyes. "Daddy, you’re awake?" Little Caden Crawford’s tender, childish voice quickly came to his ears. Hayden didn’t want to get out of bed. He turned over, wanting to hold Serena and sleep a little longer. "Daddy, get up quickly, Mommy has already left, and should be in The State of Westria by now," said little Caden. Hayden’s sleepiness vanished in an instant, he opened his eyes; the space beside him was empty, Serena was no longer there. Serena had left, gone to The State of Westria. Hayden’s sleepy eyes quickly snapped back to clarity. He sat up, looking at little Caden Crawford. Little Caden was already up, dressed in a white shirt, suspenders, looking like an elegant and noble little gentleman. He was sitting on a chair, and behind him stood his secretary, Riley Sutton. It was obvious that little Caden had been waiting for his daddy to wake up, and now he was back to his cool CEO demeanor, a few hints of depth flashing on that little cold face. Hayden pursed his thin lips, shadows already covering his determined brows, she had still left! "Caden Crawford, I had people watching your mommy 24/7. She should not have been able to leave the City of Aethelgard." "Daddy, it was me who ordered it. I removed all your defenses so Mommy could leave." "Caden Crawford, feeling itchy, are we?" "Daddy, you can’t keep Mommy." "I think you often get fooled by Mommy. She uses her beauty trap and slips away from your bed." "..." Hayden was already up and off the bed. Hearing this, he shot little Caden a sharp glance with eagle-like eyes, and then another at Riley Sutton upon noticing him. Riley coughed twice, pretending not to have heard anything, although he thought his little master was speaking the truth. Serena always sneaked away from Hayden’s bed! "Daddy, don’t worry. As long as I’m with you, Mommy won’t truly abandon you. I’m curious about what is in The State of Westria that’s attracting Mommy. Why don’t we go over and have a look together?" Hayden looked at the little bundle sitting in the chair; he was curious about how his son could mock him so casually!
