"I have something to do, I’ll leave first." Leah Thorne turned around and also left here. Melody Ashworth turned her head to look at Hayden Crawford. After Leah Thorne’s reminder, she also sensitively noticed that Hayden Crawford was different with Serena Sterling. Melody’s heart rang with alarm, she had been using the Demon Bell Charm Skill on Hayden, and Serena Sterling had now turned into a maid’s face. Could it be that even , Hayden was still being drawn away by Serena? Serena Sterling placed all her bets on Hayden Crawford, betting that he wouldn’t let her lose. Could it really be that Hayden would break through the Demon Bell Charm Skill? "Hayden, do you have feelings for my little maid?" Melody Ashworth looked at Hayden and asked. Hayden Crawford pressed his thin lips together, "What feelings?" "Although my little maid’s face isn’t pretty, she has a great figure that many men like. Do you also like my little maid?" The source of thɪs content is n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net "No." Hayden quickly denied, there’s no way he would like that little maid. But Melody was very unhappy now, needing him to coax her a bit, "But, why are you different with her?" Hayden promptly furrowed his handsome brow, "How am I different? Stop being unreasonable." After saying that, Hayden stretched his long legs and walked away. He actually just left like that. Melody, who was waiting for Hayden to coax her, was stunned, was this a joke, who was angry here? Is this all the patience he has for her? But he wasn’t with Serena Sterling before, it seemed it was Serena who always showed him a cold shoulder and left him behind, right? Why did it all change with her, where did things go wrong? Hayden Crawford, tall and long-legged, stood by the window, both large hands resting on the frame, the ocean breeze puffing up his expensive shirt. At this moment, Justin Xavier came over, nudging him with his elbow, "What’s up, have you really taken a liking to that little maid?" Justin Xavier was Hayden Crawford’s long-time good friend, very familiar with each other. Hayden pressed his thin lips together, remaining silent. "Aside from Serena Sterling, I’ve never seen you troubled by any woman. Leah was right just now, when a man makes a girl cry, it’s definitely because he likes her," Justin said softly. Hayden was very irritated now, his heroic, sword-like brow furrowed into a "川" shape, not knowing what was going on with himself. Serena Sterling was clearly right in front of him, but he had already lost interest and patience with her. Now his gaze always followed that little maid, her clear eyes, her slender figure, her sweet fragrance... all things he liked, all the fragrance that was on Serena Sterling. "I’m going out for a smoke." Hayden left. Hayden wanted to go to the cabin, and at this moment, a slender figure turned the corner, it was Serena Sterling. Serena was still wearing that light yellow bikini, but now wrapped in a coat to cover herself up, heading back to her room. The two bumped into each other , their eyes meeting. Serena’s clear eyes glanced at him, but quickly she shifted her gaze, lowering her head, aiming to brush past him. However, she bumped into a wall. Turns out Hayden had one hand in his pocket, suddenly blocking her path, her little forehead directly hitting his sturdy chest. Serena was hit so much tears welled up in her eyes, she couldn’t help but reach up to rub her forehead. Just then, a low and hostile voice rumbled from above, "Weren’t you trying to seduce me? Why did you lower your head and leave? Are you playing hard to get this time, what makes you think I would fall for it?" Serena quickly raised her head, looking at him in confusion. Hayden also looked into her clear eyes, her eyes were truly beautiful, he noticed them the first time he saw her in the tribe, they were genuinely captivating. He reached out his long fingers, pinching her petite chin, "But, it’s a pity, let me make it clear to you now, I won’t fall for it, so stop parading around me in this attire, I would just think of you as a clown." The grievance and anger Serena had been suppressing in her heart ignited all at once, she reached out forcefully, pushing Hayden away, and raised her little hand, slapping it hard across his handsome face. The crisp sound of the slap echoed, leaving half of Hayden’s face turned away. Serena felt her palm sting, but she didn’t regret it, she just wanted him to come to his senses! Hayden slowly turned his half-turned handsome face back, the darkness in his deep eyes was about to burst into flames, she actually dared to hit him! She, a mere small maid, dared to slap him on the face! What did she think she was? Hayden raised his big hand, intending to teach her a lesson. The wind from his palm came with a fierce force aiming towards her, but Serena didn’t dodge, instead, she raised her little face to meet his slap. If he dared to hit, she was ready to take it. Hayden suddenly stopped, looking into her clear and stubborn eyes, his big hand couldn’t bring itself down. Hayden was very angry, angry at her audacity, but more at himself. "Be careful next time!" Hayden threw down a harsh remark and walked away. Serena’s knees weakened, she leaned against the wall, taking a deep breath, she hadn’t been scared just now, but now she was, realizing Hayden was like a moody King of Hell. Melody Ashworth had been hiding in the dark corner, eavesdropping on the dynamic between Hayden and Serena; seeing the two depart in discord, Melody was finally relieved to sigh. It seemed Hayden didn’t like Serena, on the contrary, he greatly disliked her! That made things easier. Melody wasn’t about to sit idly by, she was ready to fight back. Serena Sterling changed into another outfit and came out. At this moment, Melody Ashworth called out to her, "Little maid, come over here and sit." Serena looked up to see Melody sitting with a few executives, Hayden Crawford was there too. Hayden sat on the dark red sofa, the main seat, with a cigar between his long fingers, smoking, the smoke veiling his handsome face, making it hard to decipher what he was thinking. Serena stepped forward. The executives’ eyes turned lecherous at the sight of Serena, starting to discuss among themselves, "Isn’t this the little beauty who was just with Beauty Thorne? Though her face is lacking, that body, tsk tsk." "Princess of Alani, is this your maid?" "We quite maid, wonder if the Princess of Alani is willing to part with her?" Melody covered her mouth, chuckling, "Of course, she has reached a marriageable age after all."
