Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 378

“I guess it’s true, then! How capable of you to be greedy for someone else whilst in bed with another, Kris! It’s not all bad, though—Young Master Fuller can finally put his back-up plan to good use now,” Hayden sneered as he laughed wickedly. Along with that, the look in his eyes became audacious and belittling as he stared at Hayden. “Are you sure you want to be with a woman as filthy as her?! Isn’t it disgusting to you?”

“You’ve crossed the line, Young Master Walton,” said Hayden emotionlessly. The next moment, he took Kris’ hand and turned to leave the restaurant.

His strides were long and swift and Kris struggled to keep up to him. When she finally did, though, she almost slipped and fell down.

“Let me go, Hayden! You’re hurting my wrist!” Kris was a little pale as she tried to follow close behind.

However, Hayden didn’t seem to have heard her cries. When they finally arrived at the car, he opened the door and practically shoved her onto the seat carelessly before shutting the door in front of her.

Kris’ expression darkened a little; naturally, she knew that something was off from the look on Hayden’s face. Indeed, Gideon’s words earlier were truly brutal…

When Hayden got into the car on the other side, Kris quickly tried to explain herself, “Don’t listen to Gideon, Hayden. He doesn’t want to see us happy! He humiliated me only because I made him look bad! T-There’s really nothing between us!”

“Oh, really? Considering you were his fiancée, was there really nothing between you and him?” Hayden turned to her abruptly, his eyes cold and unfriendly.

Kris jolted momentarily, but Hayden had already averted his gaze and started the engine.

“You don’t believe me?” Hayden simply stepped on the gas and made his way toward the freeway without giving a reply. Kris nibbled on her lower lip as her eyes reddened; they looked sad and pitiful.

After that, she reached out a hand to open the car door. Unexpectedly, Hayden stepped on the breaks and pulled her back. His expression was extremely complicated and unreadable, and a certain sadness lingered within his eyes. After a long while, he finally regained his composure and a slight resignation passed over his face. He said bluntly, “Of course… I believe you.”

Tears escaped Kris’ eyes in an instant and she crashed into Hayden’s arms. “I knew it… You’re the only one who treats me well, Hayden…”

Hayden stared down at the feeble woman in his arms, and the sense of maliciousness in his eyes finally disappeared.

…

The next morning, Tony headed to the office after dropping Myra off at the florist shop.

Meanwhile, Myra spent the morning cleaning the shop with the florist before she picked up a parenting book and went upstairs to read.

The shop was quiet and serene; their clients were all rather low-profile and reserved, so Myra didn’t really need to serve them personally. An hour later, she put down the book to move around a little; she opened the windows and rearranged a few house plants on the windowsill which changed the entire look of the space, making it look cute and lovely. With that, the ambiance of the room was like a different world compared to the outside—Myra couldn’t help but smile at the sight.

Back then, she never thought that she’d be able to live a peaceful and wholesome life like this.

After glancing at the time, she decided to give Leo a call. Myra put off her plan of calling Tony when she heard that he was currently in a meeting, for she didn’t want to be a bother when he was busy with work.

However, Leo sounded quite eager instead when he said, “Miss Myra, I’ll give Director Hart the phone right away if you want to talk to him.” Director Hart will be very happy to hear that she’s calling! If he answers the call, the atmosphere and overall mood of our working environment will certainly lighten up!

“Ah, it’s fine. I was just asking.” After a brief pause, Myra asked again in a gentle tone, “I’ll be sending him lunch later, so you don’t have to make arrangements for his meal today.”

“All right.” Leo nodded.

“Okay, there’s nothing else. I’m hanging up.” With that, Myra ended the call.

At the same time, Sharon rushed upstairs to her; she told Myra that there was a man downstairs who was looking for her.

“How old is he? Is he around 50?” asked Myra; Tony had brought her here on his own, so there shouldn’t be anyone who would visit her at the shop without giving her a call beforehand.
