Kris just could not muster her anger whenever she came face-to-face with Hayden, who had never lost his temper with her. I’m not sure why but ever since I met Hayden, he has had me wrapped around his finger! However, I need to remind myself who is the man I need to marry!
She got into the car gloomily and Hayden seemed to sense her foul mood. After he got into the car, he pulled Kris closer to give her a kiss. The kiss seemed to have ignited his passion because he almost pinned her underneath him in the car.
“What are you doing?” Kris regarded the man in front of her, who was drowned in lust. She shoved against him and she scowled unhappily. “Why aren’t you driving yet? I will never let you off the hook if I miss my flight!”
Hayden merely chuckled good-naturedly as he released her. “Alright, alright. I will send my baby to the airport now. Come to think of it, does the Stark Group have a project abroad? Why are you flying to the United States out of the blue?”
Kris’ gaze flashed mysteriously. However, she kept her head lowered while pretending to adjust her clothes, so Hayden did not notice anything amiss. “Dad wants to expand the business abroad and he asked me to check out the situation,” she answered lightly.
“That makes sense.” Hayden produced a delicate pink box out of nowhere suddenly, and he presented it in front of Kris. “Open it and have a look. See if you like it.”
Kris’ eyes shone brightly but she pretended to look away. “What is it?”
Hayden smiled at her without answering her.
Kris accepted the box and her mood improved straight away. Recently, Hayden is almost like a changed person. He is always giving me surprises here and there. These gifts do not cost a bomb but they are pricey. If I were to put together everything he has given me, it will no doubt be a hefty amount.
True enough, when Kris opened the box, she found a 12-carat, pink diamond ring nestled in the box. The diamond was huge and cut into a luxurious peony-shape, and it was simply stunning.
“Thank you.” Kris thanked Hayden quietly while hiding the delight in her heart.
Hayden chuckled while caressing her head. “Do you like it?” Judging by his tone, he seemed to be hinting at something else.
The hint couldn’t be more obvious when a man in love was presenting his woman with a ring.
I will not accept Hayden’s ring, but this ring is especially beautiful and I can’t bring myself to reject it…
Just as she was hesitating, she did not notice a trace of darkness flash through Hayden’s eyes. Soon, she heard his gentle voice. “Kris, don’t panic. I just want you to be happy, which is why I gave you this present. Please don’t overthink it.”
And so, she happily accepted the gift without feeling pressured after listening to Hayden’s explanation.
“Hayden, I really like the gift. Thank you so much, Darling.” Kris beamed brighter than before.
It is wonderful to have a lover as generous and understanding as Hayden!
She leaned over to kiss Hayden’s cheek before she looked down to study the diamond ring, not noticing his smiling face stiffening slightly.
This was Myra’s third visit to the Hart Residence. She went empty-handed the first two times, and she even accepted a gift from Lisa when she left during the second visit. This time, she was determined to buy gifts for everybody.
Hence, she made Tony park the car in the mall. She wanted him to give a second opinion, so the two of them went into the mall.
They shopped around and soon their hands were full with bags.
Some were gifts for Sebastian and Lisa, and there were also presents for Serena and Henry. Myra also prepared a gift for Shawn too, just in case.
