“Ant really that wary Hayden asked skeptically
Hearing his Courtney wanted to laugh again. Remember when you seared Jay to tears in South Weidan” she asked.
Hayden thought for a moment “I don’t remember,” he replied.
After all, he had no memory of anyone or anything unless it involved his wife, Courtney.
aac’s groups ambushed Lucas, Lucas’s team had us all relocate. The enemy charged in, trying to seize o tock down seven of them on your own and hightened Jay to fear,” Courtney explained.
and supplies, and you
At that bene, one of the terrorist members dropped dead right in front of Jay, and that man aimed a gun at Jay, who thought it was the and for
Since that day, Jay’s attitude towards Hayden had noticeably turned sycophantic. He always set aside all the antibiotics and special meds for Hayden
If it weren’t for knowing Jay was straight, who had a girlfriend back home, Courtney might have thought Jay was interested in Hayden
“They think you’re really tough and aloof, and that you don’t talk much,” Courtney added, and she felt like the Hayden she knew was completely different from the one Jay and Lorraine saw.
When Hayden was around her, he was always so talkative, chatting non–stop.
“That just because they don’t understand me. My name is Hayden, and my mom gave me this name. It means a hay in a valley. However, my grandpa thought it wasn’t very lucky and later gave me a new name,” Hayden explained earnestly.
It was changed to Jacob, Actually, Douglas from the Reed family truly had high hopes and placed all his aspirations on Hayden Douglas renamed him Jacob, hoping he would live under the sun and always shine brightly.
Courtney felt a pang of heartache for Hayden’s tragic past and didn’t want to ask too much, since she was afraid it would bring back painful memories for Hayden
Sitting on the couch together, Courtney rested her head on Hayden’s shoulder. It had been a long time since she felt this kind of complete trust in
His shoulder was really sturdy. Thankfully, his strong physique helped him pull through from the brink of death.
“Hayden, does this feel like a dream to you?” Courtney asked softly, looking at the marriage certificate in her hand.
Hayden nodded. The person who felt that it was most like a dream was definitely Hayden himself.
Courtney, who used to resist Hayden so much in South Weldan, even threatening him with a knife from time to time, had actually become his wife Hayden felt that life really was full of surprises.
Suddenly remembering toanething, Hayden narrowed his eyes in a dangerous way at Courtney.
Sensing the danger, Courtney looked at Hayden defensively, asking “What are you doing?”
“Back in South Weidan, when Lucas’s men made me drink that weird herbal wine, and I was suffering, but you just watched. Not only did you refuse to help me, but you also threatened me with a fruit knife,” Hayden complained, looking very hurt.

“Did you really plan to stab me back then?” he asked
“That day, I thought if you dared to touch me, we’d both go down together,” Courtney replied as she nodded honestly,
Hearing this, Hayden didn’t know what to say, and then he took a sharp breath. “You’re ruthless, Courtney,” he said.
“I wasn’t your wife back then,” Courtney replied, raising an eyebrow.
Hearing this, Hayden gritted his teeth and playfully knocked Courtney onto the couch. “Well, you are now,” he said.
It was true that she was his wife now.
I
Courtney froze for a moment, her instinct to push Hayden’s hand away suddenly faltering. She thought, “Yes, now I am.” She didn’t have to hit his handsome face anymore.
Hayden took a sharp breath, silently cursing his own cowardice. He had gotten used to being so cautious. Now that Courtney was truly his wife, but he didn’t dare to push his luck
Raising his hand tentatively, Hayden slowly slipped his hand under Courtney’s shirt. He felt that Courtney’s skin was so smooth and soft.
Hayden took a deep breath, feeling like he was about to burst and his blood vessels swelling with anticipation. He felt himself really pathetic.
“Honey, my hands feel numb, like I have no sensation, so I need to touch more to regain the feeling,” Hayden said pitifully, using the numbness as an excuse to fondle Courtney.
Courtney felt so flustered and angry that her face turned red. Failing to push him away, she finally resigned herself and let Hayden touch her.
She thought once Hayden’d had enough, he’d behave. However, as it turned out, a woman’s indulgence was the stepping stone for a man’s audacity to grow.
“Hayden!” Courtney called out nervously after she felt Hayden getting bolder, her body curling slightly. “Don’t go too far,” she exclaimed.
“Honey, I feel uncomfortable,” Hayden replied, breathing a little heavily.
“Just hold it,” Courtney said angrily
Hayden’s lips curled into a smile as he pulled back Courtney, who was about to run away. He hall kneeled on the couch, gazing at her. “Honey, I’d like to request we fulfill our marital duties,” he pleaded.
“Request denied…” before Courtney could finish her sentence, Hayden grabbed her chin and kissed her, silencing her further words.
In the Lewis residence, Marilyn lay at home, feeling very pleased. “Today I had full anesthesia for egg retrieval, and soon I will be carrying the Reed family’s child,” she remarked.
Hearing this, James nodded, replying, “Don’t overwork yourself during this period. Focus on the child in your belly. Once you bear Jacob’s heir, our Lewis family will gain everything from the Reed family.”
