I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 480

She always felt that Hayden had dragged his feet on the divorce all these years partly for Holden's sake, and partly out of respect for the late Charles Thorne to avoid a public scandal.

But she was extremely confident in their bond. For the past five years, she had been the only woman by Hayden's side, and he had catered to her every request.

Now that he had finally secured the divorce certificate, it was time for her to strike while the iron was hot.

However, having Julian bring it up still felt inappropriate. She didn't want Hayden to think she was desperate or trying to force his hand.

She absolutely refused to let him see her as a second Zoe. She wanted Hayden to beg to marry her. She planned to play the reluctant card, pretending to consider it for his sake, rejecting him a few times before finally, gracefully, accepting.

Only by playing that game would she become more valuable in his eyes, ensuring he cherished her even more.

As Megan continued to shower her with excessive praise, the phone in Sienna's pocket vibrated. She pulled it out and saw she had been added to a new group chat on WhatsApp.

The admin was Ethan Montgomery. He had added Hayden, Quentin Muir, Ian Varley, and even Asher Kendall.

Sienna was the last to be added.

Once she was in, Ethan tagged everyone and typed a heavy, bold line of text: **Welcome, Ms. Winters.**

Sienna stared at the bold font.

She had just been stressing over who could subtly push Hayden to lock things down, and a perfectly fluffed pillow had just been handed to her.

When it came to her and Hayden, wasn't Ethan Montgomery the absolute best person for the job?

No one else responded.

Ethan waited a few seconds before Sienna took the initiative and sent: [Thank you.]

She followed it up with a modest message.

[You are all Hayden's friends. Just call me Sienna.]

Her tone was perfectly polite.

Hayden immediately followed up: [Welcome.]

After those two words, the chat went dead.

Quentin and the others completely ignored Ethan's messages.

Ethan hadn't realized that the rest of the guys still harbored a deep dislike for Sienna.

The group chat remained dead silent for a long time. Then, surprisingly, the last message popped up from Asher Kendall. The text was short but deeply meaningful.

[Excellent.]

Sienna could barely believe her eyes.

Asher Kendall had praised her.

Out of Hayden's inner circle, two of his friends were already on her side.

Asher was the uncle of Zoe's best friend, yet he was actually complimenting her. Sienna felt incredibly smug.

It looked like she didn't need to worry about Hayden hesitating to marry her.

Setting aside her current massive commercial value, as long as his friends accepted her, they would naturally pressure him into proposing. Their marriage was practically guaranteed.

Sienna kept her head down, typing out messages with a victorious smile playing on her lips.

Megan continued spewing flattery, but Sienna simply texted away in silence.
