GoodReadChapter 364 Ron invitedto dinner, and it hit me-Hayden had mentioned the exact sthing earlier when I was getting my blood drawn.
At the time, I thought he was just messing with me, trying to distract me. Turns out, he wasn't kidding.
"It's Mr. Shane?" Hayden asked, like he already knew.
"Yeah," I said, eyeing him suspiciously. "Did you tell him to ask me?" Hayden was Ron's boss, so it wouldn't take much for Ron to follow orders.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHayden frowned a little. "No." I shot him a sarcastic smile, totally convinced he was covering his real identity.
"He toldin advance," Hayden added, trying to clarify.
But was that really it? I wasn't in the mood to dig deeper. Free dinner? I wasn't about to pass that up. I smirked. "I said yes. You coming too?" "Yeah," he replied, in that classic Hayden way. Seriously, if someone made a list of his most-used words, yeah" would totally top it.
But then he dropped the line that maderoll my eyes: "I don't make a habit of letting my girlfriend have dinner alone with another guy." Classic Hayden, always a little possessive.
Yuna, who'd been silently watching us like she was front row at a rom-com, started grinning. Her eyes flicked back and forth between us, totally fangirling.
"Hayden, you're so sweet. You're really sweet to Keira," Yuna said, all sincere and starry-eyed.
Hayden just shrugged, like it was the most normal thing in the world. "Of course." Yuna turned towith a smirk. "Keira, Hayden's smoother than the guys in romance ! I didn't see that coming." She probably thought his whole tough, quiet vibe meant he wasn't the type to throw around sweet lines. "Never underestimate the quiet ones," I teased, thinking about how Hayden still hadn't cclean about who he really was. "If we were in a war, Hayden would definitely be a top-tier spy." The guy could hide his true identity like nobody's business.
Yuna giggled. "A spy? Where's that coming from? You're totally going off on a tangent." She was too young to pick up on the deeper meaning behind what I said.
Hayden gave her a light tap on the head. "You're on your own for dinner tonight. What do you want? I'll make it before I go." Yuna, staying in her VIP hospital room, wasn't shy about her demands. "I want fish." "Fish it is," Hayden said, then turned to me. "It's hot outside, and you just got better. Stay here with Yuna, 1/2 Chapter 364 or go hang out with Lena." +25 BONUS "Thanks for being so thoughtful. Oh, and don't forget to bring us both boba," I added with a grin, noticing how Yuna's eyes lit up.
"Passion fruit flavor!" Yuna chimed in excitedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI smiled and added, "I'll take the mango yogurt one." "Keira, is that good? Maybe we can share," Yuna said, the classic boba-obsessed girl.
What she didn't know was I ordered it with her in mind. I wasn't that into boba myself, but she loved it.
"Of course," I grinned, then looked at Hayden. "Thank you in advance."
With that, Hayden headed out, and Yuna immediately leaned in, inching closer to me. "Keira it's like a romance cto life with you and my brother. She was completely smitten by the whole thing. 13 I smiled softly. "But you know, in , the leads also go through a lot of ups and downs." "No way! You and Hayden will only have sweet moments and a happy ending-no breakups, no heartbreak, she insisted, her face glowing with that idealistic view of love.
Her innocence made sense; she was still so young. I used to believe the sthing thinking my story with Jace would be all sunshine and fairy tale endings, too.
Yuna's face grew serious. "Keira, is something wrong? Did you and m Did you Hayden fight? Did he do something to upset you?" Her sensitivity kicked in, her worry showing on her face.
