Hayden Crawford curled his thin lips, "You’re here?" Melody Ashworth looked at Hayden Crawford’s impeccable and handsome face. At this moment, his deep and narrow eyes fell on her little face, and within his gentle smile was a hint of mature male charm. Melody’s heart began to race, and her face flushed red. She had known Hayden Crawford for so long, and he had never looked at her this way before. Yes, she confirmed it with her eyes, this was the exclusive gaze Hayden reserved for Serena Sterling. Now, this gaze fell upon her. Newest update provided by NoveI[F]ire.net Melody Ashworth quickly reached out to cover her small face and turned away shyly, "Hayden Crawford, what are you doing? Being a rogue, hurry up and get dressed!" Melody Ashworth had been imitating Serena Sterling for years, now effortlessly capturing Serena’s every move and expression. Hayden Crawford stretched his long legs and walked over. His broad and well-toned chest pressed against her from behind, and his low voice covered her head, "What, feeling shy? Is there any part of me you haven’t seen before?" Being so close, Melody could smell the clean, crisp scent of Hayden’s manly fragrance, which was especially pleasant. Melody Ashworth’s entire body went soft, and she pouted with her red lips and softly hummed, "Hmm, you’re annoying, I’m ignoring you!" She deliberately wanted to leave. Hayden quickly extended his strong arm, wrapping it around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace, "Where are you going? I have an injury on my back, help me bathe." This felt a bit ambiguous. Melody immediately wanted to agree, but then she remembered she was currently Serena Sterling, and hesitated, not daring to agree too hastily. "Well, I need to think about it." "Think about what?" Hayden, holding her, buried his handsome face in her long silky hair and took a whiff. He quickly tensed. Melody’s scent was off. Hayden and Serena had known each other deeply and loved each other, and were intimately familiar with each other’s presence. He was especially enamored with Serena’s fresh and sweet youthful scent, which was like a poppy, intoxicating him. However, Melody’s scent was different from Serena’s. Hayden’s deep, narrow eyes flashed quickly with something. Melody was also very alert. She immediately noticed Hayden’s change, and she turned to look at him, "What’s wrong?" Hayden’s eyes were like ink spreading, dense and endless. He looked at Melody quietly, "Why do I feel... you’re acting strange." Melody was shocked; she didn’t expect that after interacting with Hayden for just two minutes, he would get suspicious. But Melody wasn’t afraid. She curled her red lips into an enchanting smile, and the bell hanging at her waist quickly emitted a clear and melodious sound, "Strange? I don’t understand what you’re saying." The sound from the bell carried a captivating bewitching allure, quickly piercing Hayden’s eardrums. His tall and handsome frame paused, and the dense inks and sharpness in his narrow eyes gradually faded away. He had fallen for Melody’s bewitching technique. Melody was very satisfied with his reaction, "Hayden Crawford, I think you’re the one acting strange tonight. I’m ignoring you now, I’m leaving." Melody lifted her foot to walk away. Hayden quickly reached out to grab her. Melody’s silvery laughter echoed, and she gleefully dodged Hayden. Hayden reached out with his large hand, grabbing her and placing her seated onto the wooden table. Flames danced within his narrow eyes as he stared intensely at the absolutely beautiful face resembling Serena’s, and in a husky voice, he laughed, "Serena, setting the fire and wanting to run away, who taught you to be so irresponsible?" Melody pouted her red lips, "Hayden Crawford, what do you want to do, then?" Hayden’s large hand slid down, landing on the hem of her skirt, and then pushed upwards... Just then, there was a "bang", and the wooden hut door was suddenly pushed open. Corvus arrived with his men! Melody was startled, not expecting that their private moment would be interrupted. She quickly wrapped her two small hands around Hayden’s neck, her alluring body completely nestled in his embrace, "Ah!" Hayden held Melody protectively in his arms with his strong arms, shielding her securely. His deep, narrow eyes glared displeasedly like sharp blades towards the door. Corvus was struck by this look and immediately gave an embarrassed laugh, "Youn... Young Master, Princess of Alani, I didn’t know you were here. I didn’t see anything." Corvus quickly turned around. Everyone had arrived, and naturally, Hayden had lost the mood to continue. He lowered his handsome, enigmatic eyes to look at the woman in his arms, his magnetic voice coaxing softly, "It’s okay, don’t be afraid." Being held protectively by Hayden in such a way, completely overwhelmed in his embrace, shielded from any harm, Melody felt an overflow of happiness. So this is what it’s like to be Serena, hehe! Melody lifted her flushed little face, gazing at Hayden with love and admiration. Outside, the lights were bright, and his subordinates had all arrived, but none dared to come in and disturb them. Melody stood on her tiptoes, approaching Hayden’s handsome cheek to plant a quick kiss. Hayden’s eyes softened, and he even reached out with his large hand to ruffle Melody’s long hair lovingly. At this moment, the real Serena was standing by the door, but her face had transformed to that of Cherie’s. She stood at the door, and had taken in everything that had happened inside. When the door opened just now, she saw Hayden holding Melody seated on the wooden table, the two behaving intimately and ambiguously... She also saw Melody nestled in his embrace, and him protecting her so powerfully... Of course, she didn’t miss Melody’s initiated kiss, or Hayden’s ruffling of her long hair... Everything he had once given her, he now gave to Melody. Serena knew she shouldn’t be jealous or envious, nor should she blame him. He had been enchanted by the bewitching bell, mistaking Melody for her. But Serena felt a sourness in her heart, extremely uncomfortable. She knew at this moment she was indeed feeling jealous and envious. Jealous to the point of madness. At this moment, Melody glanced up and saw Serena by the door, naturally also noting Serena’s now lonely, dim, and jealous expression. Her heart felt incredibly triumphant. Suddenly, a warmth appeared on her shoulder as Hayden had finished putting on his shirt and draped a black coat over her shoulders. Melody looked up, Hayden’s tall and handsome frame stood before her, his slender fingers nimbly fastening the buttons for her himself. Melody felt she might faint from happiness, but she repeatedly reminded herself to hold on, because this was just the beginning.
