Seeing Hayden finally speak up, Sienna felt a rush of sweetness.
He was definitely just taking Grandmother Beatrice's feelings into account, trying hard to maintain the illusion that he was still with Zoe. She shouldn't let her emotions get the better of her. After all, the divorce was finalized.
Suddenly, Asher dropped a bomb in the group chat.
"Drinking to celebrate your divorce?"
The seemingly dead chat exploded in an instant.
Messages tagging Hayden flooded the screen.
"Are you serious? You got divorced? When did this happen, and why are we just hearing about it?"
Ian was the most shocked, while Quentin chimed in: "She actually agreed? That's rare."
From start to finish, Hayden completely ignored their interrogation.
Sienna watched silently, her hands trembling slightly with sheer joy.
Hayden's refusal to answer meant it was absolutely true.
Divorce wasn't exactly a glorious event, and given his cold personality, it was perfectly normal for him not to explain himself.
Sienna waited until their heated discussion died down. The address for the gathering was sent, and since Hayden didn't say anything else, she kept quiet too.
Hayden hadn't bothered to clarify that the divorce with Zoe was technically invalid. His privacy was his own, and he owed no one an explanation.
A month had passed since they received the divorce certificate, and Hayden had moved out of Blackwood Manor to The Ridgecrest Villa.
Sienna's fantasy of him moving into Blackwood Manor to live as a family with her and Holden hadn't come to fruition.
He treated her exactly the same as before. Aside from seeing each other at the office, their private meetings followed their usual rigid schedule.
He picked Holden up from classes, giving the boy the fatherly security he craved, and spent time with them like clockwork.
Dinners, trips to the amusement parkβnothing had changed.
Sienna was suffocating with frustration. They had the divorce certificate. They were both single now. What exactly was he still worried about?
The only logical answer was Grandmother Beatrice.
