Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hailey was surprised to hear that. “Huh? Lock the door? What if the nurse comes in later?”
Cayden said with a sinister smile, “That’s precisely why we have to lock the door to keep the nurse out. Let’s have some pillow talk for a while.”
At the same time, Cayden had already gotten out of bed and gone to the window to draw the curtains.
The room, initially filled with sunlight, immediately turned dull. It was also full of an ambiguous and flirtatious ambiance.
Hailey knew what Cayden intended to do when he asked her to lock the door. Her delicate face turned slightly red, and she was a little hesitant.
However, she nevertheless locked the door from inside.
.
Hailey then walked towards the bed and said, “Cayden, I’m sorry my husband hurt you so badly. Do your fingers still hurt?”
Cayden lowered his head to look at his right finger helplessly and exclaimed, “It doesn’t matter if it hurts or not. It’s a shame that I can’t use them ever again. Jordan is so f***ing ruthless!”
Hailey said with a guilty expression, “Cayden, I know Jordan is at fault for this, but I heard that you’re going to pay someone to chop off Jordan’s fingers.”
“Jordan is my husband, after all. We’ve been married for three years, and he has always been very good to me. I really hope you won’t hurt him, please, don’t do that, okay?”
Hailey may have had let Jordan down by cheating on him, and her attitude had also changed for the worse after Jordan was kicked out of the Steele family.
However, having been married to Jordan for three years, Hailey still had some feelings for him. Thus, she didn’t want anything untoward to happen to him.
Moreover, she knew how good Jordan was at playing the piano, and it would really be a huge pity if he lost his fingers.
Cayden had always pretended to be a refined gentleman in front of Hailey. Putting up a pretense and fooling others were his forte.
Cayden said, “My dear goddess, don’t you know me well enough? How can I possibly do such a cruel thing to your husband?”
“Does that mean… that the rumors are false?”
Hailey thought that Cayden was a jovial and handsome scion of a wealthy family who probably wouldn’t be that ruthless.
Cayden smiled and said, “Of course they’re untrue. I deliberately asked my brother to spread those rumors only because I’m trying to scare your husband into being too scared to leave his home. In fact, I didn’t send anyone to deal with him at all.”
Hailey was baffled. “You’re trying to scare my husband? Why? Why don’t you want him to leave the house?”
Cayden held onto Hailey’s fair and tender hand with a sinister smile.
“What else do you think the reason can be? Of course, it’s because I don’t want him to disturb you and me. If he keeps staying at home, we’ll get to meet each other outside every day, won’t we?”
Hailey took him for his word. She knew that Cayden adored her, and since she was married, they used to have to meet each other either bright early in the morning or late at night.
‘Perhaps, Cayden really doesn’t plan to harm Jordan.’
Looking at Hailey’s exquisite and delicate face, Cayden couldn’t help but kiss her.
However, Hailey pushed him away instinctively. “No… We can’t.”
Cayden was furious, but he didn’t vent his anger and instead remained patient.
“Hailey, I love you so much that I’m willing to forgo my fingers for your sake! Can’t you feel my love for you?”
Cayden had hit Jordan in the restaurant yesterday to take revenge on him for his aunt, Rosie.
Yet, he now claimed that he had done so for Hailey.
