Chapter 545: Chapter 545: It Seems I Haven’t Touched a Woman in Three Years
In situations like last night’s where he left in anger, her message should have come first thing in the morning, apologizing, saying sorry...
But today, his phone remained silent all day.
Hayden Crawford tossed his phone onto his desk, feeling a knot of irritation in his chest.
Hayden didn’t feel he did anything wrong last night. He lowered his gaze to his hand, thinking, she hit him last night, and their son bit him, even drawing blood, yet she didn’t care at all.
He was really angry at the time, but he couldn’t bring himself to be harsh with the mother and son. He was waiting for her message, for her to ease his anger.
Yet he felt completely sidelined, with no one caring about him!
Hayden pressed his thin lips together and picked up the phone again, dialing the public phone at the kindergarten.
The phone rang twice on the other end before it was picked up, and Ella’s sweet voice came through, "Hello, this is the kindergarten. Who are you looking for?"
It wasn’t Serena.
With one hand in his pocket, Hayden’s deep and magnetic voice spoke, "I’m looking for Caden Crawford’s teacher, Serena Sterling."
The call was answered by Ella. Upon hearing the voice as magnetic as Gallian vintage wine, her heart skipped a beat.
The voice was so enchanting, it could make one’s ears pregnant.
Caden Crawford...
This person is looking for the Crawford family’s Young Crown Prince, could it be... he’s the current head of the Crawford family, the primary financier, Hayden Crawford?
Oh my God.
Having hit a snag with little Caden Crawford, Ella didn’t expect her luck would turn so well to receive a call from Hayden Crawford.
"Are you Caden’s dad? Ms. Sterling isn’t here right now, but you can talk to me. I just joined the kindergarten as well, and I also teach Caden. My name is Ella," she said.
Hayden furrowed his handsome eyebrows briefly. He was looking for Serena Sterling, but the person on the other end was prattling on. It was so annoyingly sugary.
Hayden had no patience for it and abruptly ended the call.
"Hello, Caden’s dad, are you still there... Hello, Caden’s dad..." Ella called out anxiously from the other end.
...
Maplewood Villa.
It was already evening, and Auntie Mccoy quickly opened the villa doors, "Sir, you’re back?"
Hayden Crawford had returned. He changed his shoes at the entrance and glanced upstairs. "Where’s Caden?"
"Sir, the young master is already asleep."
"Alright," Hayden replied nonchalantly. He unbuttoned his shirt sleeves, rolling them up twice to reveal his strong wrists and a luxury steel watch. "And Ms. Sterling?"
"Sir, Ms. Sterling is also asleep in the guest room," Auntie Mccoy responded.
"Got it." Hayden said and then went upstairs.
Hayden returned to his master bedroom, took a quick cold shower, then came out in black silk pajamas.
After drying his damp hair with a towel, he tossed it aside and opened the master bedroom door, heading into the guest room.
Inside the guest room, the lamp was on, casting a warm, soft glow. On the cozy bed, a small figure was curled up; Serena was sound asleep.
Hayden approached the bed, looking at her sleeping face. Because of her slumber, her beautiful face had a flushed, adorable look.
She could really sleep!
Hayden’s fingers threaded into her dark hair, taking a deep breath of her scent.
Such a lovely fragrance.
It was the youthful scent he couldn’t forget.
Hayden’s prominent Adam’s apple bobbed up and down twice before he kissed her rosy lips.
In her sleep, Serena quickly furrowed her delicate brows. She felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her, making it hard to breathe.
It was uncomfortable.
Her butterfly-wing lashes fluttered uneasily, and she quickly opened her clear eyes.
The next moment, a handsome, noble face magnified infinitely in her sight.
Hayden Crawford.
Serena’s mind went blank, a mix of drowsiness and confusion; she hadn’t expected Hayden to return tonight and show up in her room.
What was he doing?
He was kissing her lips, nibbling with his teeth, tormenting her tender lips.
Serena felt uncomfortable, really uncomfortable. She raised her soft, white hands to his strong chest, trying to push him away.
She was awake.
Hayden opened a slit of his eyes to look at the girl beneath him. Her awakening ignited all his passion and boiling blood. He immediately plunged deeper into the kiss.
"Mmm!"
Serena bit down hard, refusing to open her mouth.
Hayden slowly released her.
Serena gasped for fresh air, her delicate face flushed with discomfort, her bewitching eyes glimmering with moist allure. In a voice tinged with the soft, gentle tone of waking, she protested, "Hayden Crawford, what are you doing? Let go of me."
Hayden used his thumb to press on her already swollen lips, "Open your mouth."
"No..."
Hayden pinched her small face, his sensual thin lips forming a careless curve, "Serena Sterling, you’re living here, but I’m not treating you like a goddess. I’m a young, vigorous man with normal needs. If you can’t satisfy me, you can say so, move out immediately, and never see Caden again. I’ll find another woman to fulfill my needs."
Maybe he’s humiliated her too many times, Serena’s heart was already numb from pain, "Hayden Crawford, I haven’t forgotten our deal. It’s just, everyone says you never sleep with the same woman twice. I was prepared, trying to make you break that rule for me, but I hadn’t even started when you rushed over every night as if... as if you haven’t seen a woman in three years."
What was she saying? Was she mocking him!
Indeed, he hadn’t touched a woman in these three years!
What about her?
An image flashed across Hayden’s mind of her under another man...
A chilling darkness spread from his chest, and Hayden sealed her lips again, biting them harshly.
Hiss.
The pain made Serena suck in a sharp breath, her slender body curling up from the hurt.
"Let go!" Serena started to struggle.
Hayden snapped back to clarity and released her lips. The girl beneath him was in a sorry state; her pure dark hair tangled with her gorgeous face and milky neck, her lip corner bitten and bleeding red.
He slightly narrowed his eyebrows, suppressing the darkness within, yet just thinking about her once under another man made his emotions uncontrollable.
Without speaking, he started pulling at her pajamas.
"Hayden Crawford, stop, don’t you remember I’m on my period!"
