Honestly, I didn’t know what I wanted to ask about it, but it just felt like there was something worth knowing about it. Maybe it was just my own curiosity playing tricks with my brain, but I was itching to know more about it. It did occur to me that the more people say that something is off limits, it just makes me want to know more about it. We all get interested in forbidden things, don’t we?
“Auntie also showed me Harvey’s wing. I mean, she showed me where it was…” I said before ending with a mumble.
At the mention of Harvey’s wing, Hayden’s expression became cold and unreadable instantly. The cheerful atmosphere around us turned awkward and strained at the sudden change of Hayden’s mood.
“Don’t worry. She just told me where it was after we exited your wing of the mansion. We didn’t go in or anything like that…” I quickly explained.
“I see…” Hayden said curtly.
I gulped as my eyes shifted nervously around and I started to feel uncomfortable. It was evident that Hayden didn’t want to talk or hear about this topic anymore.
“It’s late. You should shower and go to bed. You have work early tomorrow again, right?” I suggested, trying to change the topic of our conversation.
Hayden turned to face me before he slowly lifted his hand and started stroking my hair. He lifted a strand of my hair between his fingers as his blue eyes held mine. The way he was staring deeply into my eyes made my heart beat faster and my chest tightened up a little.
“Do you want to see it?” Hayden asked in a seductive voice.
“See…what?” I asked softly, not quite following.
Hayden smiled before leaning down until his face was very close to my ear.
“My bedroom…” he whispered right into my ear.
My heart skipped a beat at his suggestive words, and I felt heat rush to my face as I blushed madly. What does he expect me to say to that?
Hayden stood up and looked at my upturned face as he waited for my answer. Is he really going to make me say it? If I tell him that I wanted to see his bedroom, then isn’t that like I’m asking for him to…
“Umm…I…” I whispered softly as I hesitated to speak or meet his intense gaze.
Hayden laughed a little at me and my apparent embarrassment. His hand reached out and took mine into his much larger one.
“Too embarrassed to say it? Let’s go…” Hayden said as his hand tightened a little around mine.
“Hayden…” I called his name a little shyly.
He began leading me out of the room when I realized that Little Hayden was still sleeping on his bed. Can we really just leave him here all alone?
