Chapter 520 William and Hayden
On the other side of the country, at the Imperial Capital, Jasper and Hayden had just gotten out of the car and handed the car keys to the parking attendant. Jasper's cell phone vibrated in his pocket.
He took it out and saw that it was a message from William.
It was only four words.
"Send me your location."
Does this mean he’s going to fly to the Imperial Capital overnight?
Taking a glance at Hayden walking ahead of him, Jasper quickly replied, "Let's talk after you get off the plane."
After sending the message, he hurriedly caught up with Hayden.
Jasper was a wealthy man. Even though he hadn't shown up for a year or so, the various people in the bar could recognize him at a glance.
So, as soon as he appeared, a group of people swarmed around him.
However, Jasper made it clear that he would be accompanying Hayden tonight, and with that, he dismissed everyone. Then, he found a secluded spot, sat down with Hayden, and ordered food and drinks.
When the drinks arrived, Jasper took one and handed it to Hayden.
Hayden's gaze shifted back from the bustling dance floor, and she glanced at Jasper, but she didn't drink it.
"What's wrong?”
“I can't handle liquor; I prefer beer," Jasper said as he ordered a dozen bottles of spirits, took one, and handed it to Hayden.
Hayden looked at him and couldn't help but smile, "You can have it. I suddenly don't feel like drinking."
Alcohol could be quite stimulating for a child, and she couldn't prioritize her temporary enjoyment over the safety of the child in her belly.
"No way. Who told me to come and have a drink with you?" Jasper felt like he had been tricked as he looked at her.
Hayden laughed, instructed the waitstaff to bring her a glass of juice, and then continued to stuff her mouth with food while watching the restless crowd on the dance floor.
Drinking juice at a bar?!
Originally, he wanted to get Hayden drunk and then send her to William.
Now, she didn't want to drink alcohol and instead wanted only juice. After finishing it, she would leave. Wouldn't William be left high and dry?
Narrowing his eyes at Hayden, Jasper pondered, and suddenly, a bright idea came to his mind.
"I saw a friend. I'll go over and say hello." Jasper said to Hayden, then stood up and walked toward the bar.
Hayden nodded, didn't pay attention to him, and continued to sway gently to the energetic rhythm of the music while eating.
In no time, Jasper returned with a cup of beautiful pomegranate juice in his hand. It was like the finest ruby, and he handed it to Hayden.
Hayden naturally didn't think too much and took small sips.
After finishing a glass of pomegranate juice, she got another glass of orange juice.
Before finishing the glass of orange juice, her eyelids became heavy like mountains, and no matter how lively and ear-splitting the music was, it couldn't disturb her desire to sleep.
"You look exhausted, let's go. I'll take you home." Jasper said as he watched her yawning endlessly and struggling to stay in her seat. He went over to support her.
Hayden didn't think much about it because pregnant women tend to be sleepy, and she had been feeling sleep-deprived for the past few months. So, she nodded and allowed Jasper to help her out of the bar and into the car.
Once in the car, she leaned back in the seat and immediately fell asleep.
Jasper sat in the driver's seat and looked at her, unable to help but smile. He then fastened her seatbelt for her and then started the car, driving toward the hotel.
The secretary had booked a flight ticket for William to the Imperial Capital, scheduled for 8 pm that evening.
The flight from River North to Imperial Capital would take nearly two and a half hours. Fortunately, the plane was not delayed, and it landed at Imperial Capital International Airport at 10:30 pm.
After getting off the plane, he immediately sent a message to Jasper, "Where are you?"
Immediately, Jasper sent him a location, indicating a villa-style luxury hotel about twenty kilometers away from the airport.
Without anyone noticing, William took a taxi and headed toward the hotel.
Even in the late-night hours, the Imperial Capital was still filled with dazzling lights, bustling and prosperous, much like River North.
On such a bustling night, many people would find it hard to sleep.
Instructing the driver to speed up, they raced all the way and arrived at the hotel entrance twenty minutes later.
After paying the fare, William got out of the car, and Jasper approached him. He took a room card out of his pocket and handed it to him.
"Hayden is fast asleep. She probably won't wake up for another seven to eight hours," Jasper said.
William glanced at the card in his hand but didn't take it. Instead, he furrowed his handsome brows and asked, "What did you give her?"
Jasper raised an eyebrow. "At first, she asked me to accompany her for a drink. I was planning to get her drunk and then send her to your bed. But when we got to the bar, she suddenly didn't want to drink anymore. So, I had no choice but to give her two sleeping pills."
Looking at him, William truly had the urge to punch him in the face.
However, after thinking about it, if it weren't for him, Jasper wouldn't have given Hayden sleeping pills. So, he took a deep breath, held back his anger, and took the room card from Jasper's hand. "She's pregnant, so don't give her random things to eat in the future."
Pregnant!
"Holy cow!" Jasper exclaimed, astonished. "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"As long as you know, don't tell anyone," William said, then took the room card and walked toward the hotel.
Jasper watched him,
Finn wouldn't be so heartless as to abandon his grandchild!
But now that Sophia is pregnant again, who knows?
The villa hotel not only had excellent privacy but also boasted a great environment.
Upon entering the villa, William scanned the room and saw that the main bedroom was lit. He walked in without hesitation.
Arriving at the bedroom door, he immediately spotted the woman peacefully sleeping on the big bed. Upon closer inspection, he noticed her slightly bulging stomach, a clear sign of pregnancy.
After days of worrying and longing, he suddenly felt relieved at this moment.
Leaning against the doorframe, William let out a deep breath and wiped his face with his hand. He stood there, silently gazing at Hayden in the bed for a while before finally moving his leg and walking toward her.
Sitting down by the bed in the dim yellow light, Hayden slept deeply but restlessly. Her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed lightly as if burdened with countless unresolved thoughts.
William raised his hand and gently pressed his warm and dry fingertip against her forehead, smoothing out the creases.
Perhaps sensing the familiar and affectionate touch from her loved one, Hayden's forehead gradually relaxed, and her sleeping face became serene and peaceful.
However, William's fingers did not move away.
Looking at her, his large hand traced down her face and slowly reached her abdomen.
When his palm covered Hayden's belly, he not only felt the obvious bulge but also sensed a kick from the little one.
The baby sensed his presence.
Slowly, William leaned down and kissed Hayden's belly, kissing their child through her clothes and blanket, softly saying, "Baby, I'm Dad, how are you?"
After speaking, he pressed his ear against Hayden's belly, wanting to hear the little one's response.
It was as if, truly hearing his voice, the tiny being moved, and William could clearly feel it.
Feeling the baby's response, he couldn't help but smile, his lips curling upwards and his deep black eyes sparkling with dazzling starlight.
It turns out a man's happiness can be so simple, just a simple response from the child that makes all worries and pressures fade away.
Looking up again, Hayden seemed to feel William and the child's joy. A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Unable to resist, William leaned down and planted delicate kisses from her forehead down to her red lips.
"Hayden, your heart has never changed, right?" William whispered to the woman close to him, "Otherwise, why would you insist on giving birth to our child?"
Taking off his jacket and lifting a corner of the blanket, William carefully lay down on the bed and then reached out to gently embrace Hayden.
Lowering his head, he lightly kissed her forehead as if filling the emptiness of the past few months at this moment.
Hayden found comfort in William's embrace and slept for a few hours. Before 6 am the next morning, William woke up, quickly freshened up, and called the villa butler to deliver fresh ingredients.
Upon receiving the ingredients, he immediately started preparing breakfast for Hayden. In less than half an hour, he had prepared several of Hayden's favorite breakfast items and served them at the table.
After completing these tasks, he returned to the bedroom to check on Hayden. Thankfully, she was still sound asleep and hadn't woken up yet. Approaching her with deep affection and focus, he kissed her forehead tenderly for two to three minutes before reluctantly getting up. He gently stroked her face for a while before leaving.
Knowing that Hayden's reaction upon waking up wouldn't be any better than last time, he didn't want to provoke or upset her again. Therefore, the only option was to leave before she woke up.
As soon as he walked out of the room and softly closed the door behind him, Hayden, who had been peacefully asleep in the large bed, slowly opened her eyes. Although she hadn't seen him, she knew that the man from last night until just now was him.
Hearing the faint sound of the villa's front door closing and the silence and stillness that followed, she hurriedly got out of bed, forgetting even to put on her shoes, and ran outside.
He had already left, leaving no trace behind.
Hayden noticed that she could see the outside through the nearby window, so she quickly went over and looked out. Sure enough, her gaze locked onto the tall figure outside. However, he seemed to have lost some weight.
As she continued watching, Hayden suddenly felt a surge of sadness, and her nose stung. Tears welled up in her eyes.
At that moment, William, who was walking outside, suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look back.
Quickly, Hayden turned around and hid behind a wall. When she caught sight of the breakfast items placed on the nearby table, she couldn't control herself any longer and covered her mouth, crying out loud.
Sophia was pregnant and had undergone a blood test, confirming that she was expecting another baby boy.
Finn was ecstatic and showered Sophia with even more love and affection than before.
For two whole days, he stayed by Sophia's side at the hospital, ensuring that she and the baby boy in her belly were well taken care of, with the assistance of the best doctors from the Obstetrics and Gynecology department in the entire Imperial Capital.
On the third day, when Hayden returned home from work, she found the house unusually lively, filled with laughter and happiness.
She entered the hall and saw that the Johnson family was all there, everyone with smiles on their faces, just like Finn, as if they had completely forgotten about Nikolai's death. In fact, Hayden even had the illusion that Nikolai never existed.
"Hello Raymond, Sophia, everyone," Hayden walked over and greeted several people politely with a faint smile, except for Hall, who was sitting next to Pierre. Hall, however, stood up and greeted her with an exceptionally friendly and even gentle smile, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Hayden, you're back!" Sophia resumed her previous role as the hostess, waving at Hayden with a gentle look. "Come and sit down quickly. Raymond and I were discussing something about you!"
We were discussing something.
Hayden knew for sure that it couldn't be something good.
However, her face remained calm and composed; she nodded, smiled, and went over to sit down.
Coincidentally, Hall was sitting across from her. Hayden unintentionally raised her gaze and met his naked gaze.
"Hayden, have you been working too hard recently?" Sophia reached out and took Hayden's hand, smiling gently and lovingly. "Look at our Hayden. She's getting more sensible and mature. There won't be any generation gap between her and Hall."
Looking at Sophia, her facial expression was undoubtedly disgusting, but she could only smile obediently and say, "I'm young and inexperienced. I need to learn more."
"Finn, look, our Hayden is becoming more sensible and mature. She won't have any generation gap with Hall." Sophia turned her head and smiled at Finn beside her.
Finn nodded with a smile but didn't say anything.
There is no generation gap with Hall?
As Hayden listened, her brain suddenly went blank for a moment.
