Chapter 647: Chapter 647: He Held Her and Called Out "Serena
A slender body fell directly into his arms.
Hayden Crawford looked down and saw a familiar small face nestled in his arms, now covered with sparkling tears.
It was Serena Sterling.
It was her!
She... was crying.
Serena hadn’t expected to be discovered so quickly. She hadn’t even had time to wipe the tears from her face before being pulled out, and now she was crashing into his arms. She immediately raised her bright, wet eyes to look at him.
Hayden also looked at her, watching her long, butterfly-like eyelashes tremble in panic. Her eyes were full of tears, glistening and utterly captivating.
Hayden’s heart was struck hard. He asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here, what... happened to you?"
When one feels aggrieved, they should not be asked about it because the grievance intensifies. The crystalline tears in Serena’s eyes fell "plop plop" like beads falling off a string.
She cried even harder, and Hayden felt a taut hand grip his heart tightly, his heart aching immensely. He glanced outside, "Did someone bully you again? Is it your master troubling you?"
Lida stood to the side, recognizing Serena Sterling. Wasn’t she that little maid?
Now Serena Sterling and Hayden Crawford were together, there was a noticeable height difference between the two. Hayden lowered his handsome gaze and spoke softly to her, his voice seeming to carry a cautious tenderness and pampering.
Serena continued crying, shedding tears in front of the man. Lida suddenly had an illusion as if these two people were their entire world, one that nobody else could intrude upon.
Lida was utterly shocked. She had seen all sorts of indifferent facets of Hayden Crawford but never this soft attempt to comfort a girl.
It turns out he can be gentle, but his gentleness was solely reserved for that person.
Seeing her continuing to cry, Hayden raised his large hand and, with rough fingertips, helped wipe the tears off her face, "Don’t cry anymore, or else, we won’t be a little maid anymore..."
"..." Serena suddenly laughed, amused by his clumsy attempt at comforting, as he thought she was bullied into tears by Melody Ashworth.
Serena looked at his impeccable handsome face and suddenly lunged forward, her small hands tightly hugging his sleek waist.
She knew.
She knew everything.
She finally understood.
Her fragrance was soft as jade, causing Hayden’s tall body to stiffen suddenly. He slowly lifted his hand, wanting to embrace her slender frame, but his fingers curled up, his large hand fell back down to hang by his side.
Hayden pressed his thin lips together, "Let go, someone will see us any minute now."
No!
Serena not only refused to let go but hugged him even tighter, burying her face deep in his chest, and nuzzled against him like a spoiled little kitten.
Hayden’s whole being felt softened, he gently closed his handsome eyes. Hayden Crawford, come on, admit it, you’ve fallen for this little maid.
Everything about her felt so familiar, as if their souls were perfectly synchronized, making him unable to resist.
At this moment, Serena stood on tiptoe and boldly kissed his handsome cheek.
She kissed him again.
Hayden looked down at her.
Serena wasn’t afraid, she stood on tiptoe and gave his handsome cheek another firm kiss.
This time, she marked both sides, making him hers.
Serena blinked playfully, looking at him with agile yet seductive eyes, her expression falling into Hayden’s sight was unparalleled, he curled his thin lips.
Lida watched throughout, those two were being intimate, completely ignoring her presence, yet she witnessed their intimacy firsthand, as if arrows pierced her heart.
She had never kissed Hayden Crawford because Hayden never gave her the chance to get close. For the women he didn’t care for, he wouldn’t let them even touch him.
And now, him with this little maid?
Lida knew she had truly lost this time; she wasn’t defeated by anyone but rather... gave up on Hayden Crawford.
Lida ran off with red-rimmed eyes.
Serena watched Lida run off; she was determined to pluck every blossom of attraction away from him, ensuring she would never let him slip through her fingers again.
Serena stretched her small hands to embrace Hayden’s neck, and this time, she stood on tiptoe, shy yet bold, giving his thin lips a kiss.
She didn’t close her eyes but observed his reaction.
In fact, Hayden didn’t close his eyes either; he lowered his handsome eyes to gaze at her, neither avoiding nor initiating, allowing her kiss.
Serena didn’t have much experience being proactive, her small face slowly flushed red and then slowly backed away.
Forget it...
But the next second, her slender waist tightened directly, as Hayden’s strong arm wrapped around her, ruthlessly pulling her into his embrace.
He lowered his eyes and directly covered her red lips.
Serena’s eyes widened, looking at him with shock and panic, this time, he closed his eyes, his kiss more fierce and intense than ever before.
Serena’s small hands clutched onto his strong arm, feeling his muscles harden piece by piece. Soon, she felt short of breath and realized he had vigorously seized all her fresh air.
The tail of Hayden’s narrow eyes was already covered in a seductive crimson, the girl in his arms making him unable to let go, slowly succumbing.
His thin lips landed on her snowy earlobe, uttering a low voice, calling out a name, "Serena..."
In a state of turmoil, he softly called out Serena.
The girl in his arms suddenly stiffened.
Hayden also stopped the kiss, he opened his eyes, only to find the girl in his arms looking at him in complete shock...
Hayden quickly pressed his thin lips; he didn’t know how he could have uttered "Serena" to her. His heart, what he wanted, desired, and longed for was always his Serena; just now, the intense feeling of about to melt made him think the girl in his arms was Serena.
Hayden’s passion scattered a few rationalities. Just then, a voice suddenly sounded by his ear, Melody Ashworth’s voice, "Hayden Crawford, where are you? Hayden Crawford!"
It turns out Hayden Crawford hadn’t come out for so long, Melody Ashworth had come looking.
Hayden quickly released Serena, his voice low and husky, saying, "Sorry."
Then he turned and walked away.
He left.
Serena stood in place, staring blankly at his departing figure. Just now, he actually hugged her and called out "Serena," indicating that he was close to breaking through the Demon Bell Charm Skill from The Merfolk Clan and recognizing her true identity.
The ancestor of Westria couldn’t escape the Demon Bell Charm Skill back then, but she believed Hayden Crawford certainly could.
Serena also turned and left.
