Chapter 571 Leaving His Side
If she forgave him, continued to love him, waited for him, and shamelessly expressed her love to him.
In front of everyone's eyes, the voice coming from behind William made him have to stop in his tracks.
"Hayden, what's up?" Turning around, William squinted his deep eyes, his gaze coolly sweeping over Hayden, his voice indifferent yet playful.
Hayden looked at him, smiling. Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, she gracefully stood up and unhurriedly walked to him, and then, with a touch of ambiguity, her hands climbed onto his shoulders. She tiptoed to his ear and whispered in a tone only they could hear, "I'm pregnant. The child is yours. Shouldn't you take responsibility for our child?"
Looking at Hayden, who was so close, smelling the all-too-familiar scent on her, William didn't push her away. However, his handsome brows furrowed tightly.
When Hayden's husky voice sounded in his ear, his deep eyes were filled with gloom.
After whispering in William's ear, Hayden stepped back in front of everyone's gaze, gracefully increasing the distance between them. Then, elegantly curling the corners of her lips, she gazed at him, waiting for his reaction.
William also looked at her, his gaze cold and indifferent.
Unexpectedly to Hayden, but seemingly within her expectations, William's expression suddenly turned cold. He spoke again, his voice low and laced with numerous sarcasms, "Just go ahead and have an abortion, you've done this kind of thing before! You don't need to tell me all this again."
With a resolute expression, William turned around decisively and walked away with large strides.
Hayden stood still, watching him without moving a muscle. As his words rang out, it felt like a bucket of ice-cold water was instantly poured over her head, streaming down every inch of her skin, all the way to her feet. The cold was so intense that she couldn't help but shiver all over.
William took two steps, but suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around to look at Hayden, and in a voice thicker with sarcasm than before, said, "By the way, if you need money, just let me know. Any amount is fine."
Finishing his words, he walked away decisively.
Several executives who were observing the scene quickly reacted and hurried to catch up.
"William, what do you mean? You apologize to Hayden!"
“Teresa。”
Teresa realized it and immediately got up to catch up, but when she passed by Hayden, she was pulled back by him.
"Hayden." Teresa looked at Hayden, who had tears in her eyes but was still trying hard to force a smile, and Teresa felt very sad.
Hayden looked at her and tried to force a smile, "I'm fine. I'll be heading back to Imperial Capital tonight, and I probably won't come back to River North in the future. If you and Diana want to see me, you'll have to come to Imperial Capital."
She lost to William, but more importantly, she lost to herself, failing miserably.
In the future, they were strangers to each other.
"Hayden, William is just a jerk. You shouldn't like him anymore," Teresa said, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Hayden.
Hayden looked up, trying to push back the tears welling up in her eyes. Then, she took a deep breath, forced a casual smile, nodded, and said, "Yeah, I don't like him anymore. Let's go, continue our afternoon coffee. Otherwise, next time we meet, who knows when it will be."
Teresa also held back tears and nodded with a smile, saying, "Okay."
Coming out of the club, William got into the car directly and left.
As he sat in the car and the moment the door closed, he couldn't help it. William ripped off the tie around his neck and then fiercely threw it onto the nearby seat.
In front, the driver and Jeffrey noticed William's movements, instantly holding their breath and feeling very nervous.
The driver didn't understand why the usually gentle William suddenly got so angry, but Jeffrey did. It was because of Hayden. It was because just now, at the club, when the store patrol ended, William ran into Hayden.
William ripped off his tie, but didn't feel any release of emotions. He then rudely and forcefully unbuttoned three buttons on his shirt collar.
He couldn't believe that Hayden would resort to such a clumsy method to provoke him now.
The child he had clearly felt for, but lost before they could meet, not only made Hayden feel sad, but also made him empathize deeply.
Last time, he took Hayden to a club under the Bennett Group. He clearly used a condom, took enough protective measures, and the condoms used in the club were of the highest quality, rigorously screened to ensure there were no quality issues.
So, how could Hayden possibly be pregnant? How could she be carrying his child?
So, there are only two conclusions.
One, Hayden was lying to him and the other, Hayden got pregnant with another man's child.
At the thought of this, the anger in William's heart became even more uncontrollable.
Hayden treated him like a fool, so he thought she could toy with him at will.
In the past, and even now, she could always do as she pleased, regardless of his feelings.
The arrogant Hayden, it should have been like this from the beginning, doing whatever she pleased, without considering anyone else.
After an unprecedented outburst of anger, William leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and tried hard to calm himself down.
He lost his mind over a self-righteous woman, which really wasn't worth it.
That evening, Hayden flew back to the Imperial Capital.
Goodbye Teresa, it had been two months later when she came to Imperial Capital to take the Foreign Service Officer exam.
But this time, Hayden did something very regrettable. She really shouldn't have bribed the examiner, Gabriel, to give Teresa a low score on the diplomatic exam, which ultimately led to Teresa failing the exam.
Gabriel did this, although selfish, but his starting point was because he loved Teresa too much and wanted to keep Teresa by his side every day.
Because of this incident, it ultimately led to Teresa having a miscarriage, and she almost ended up divorcing Gabriel. Hayden really blamed himself endlessly.
For Hayden, children were the most painful secret buried deep in her heart. Teresa lost a child, and her emotions were definitely not better than they were before.
Due to having two babies in her belly, her stomach became so big that it completely covered before she even reached four months.
Finally, Finn, who had always thought she was just gaining weight, discovered the truth and found out that she was pregnant.
"Whose child are you carrying?"
In the evening, after dinner, Finn called Hayden into the study and asked her.
Unexpectedly, Finn didn't get angry. In fact, there wasn't even a hint of anger. He just calmly looked at her visibly swollen belly and asked her.
Looking at Finn, now Hayden, she had enough confidence to confront him, so she answered truthfully without a hint of fear, "I stole William's sperm, did IVF, and now I'm pregnant with a boy and a girl."
William's child.
Watching Hayden, Finn sighed deeply and nodded calmly.
He knew that the lost child was a pain Hayden found hard to forget, but it was also the biggest guilt in his heart towards Hayden.
As it is now, things are going pretty well. At least, the Smith family can have someone to carry on their legacy.
"Are you planning to have a baby at home or go abroad to give birth?"
"Dad,..." Hayden looked at Finn, surprised that he didn't seem to have a hint of reproach.
"Hayden, I am getting old. In the future, the Smith family will rely on you. Whatever decision you make, I will support you," Finn said lovingly as he looked at Hayden.
"Okay." Hayden nodded, feeling a sudden urge to cry. "In about half a month, after I sort out a few things, I'll be going abroad."
"Okay."
