Chapter 207
Hayden looked at Stacey’s red cars and smiled. He gently lowered his head, kissed her on the lips, and asked, “Trust me, okay!”
Her heart was pounding. Stacey could hardly look at him anymore. She wanted to break free, but her hands and feet wouldn’t budge, as if they were controlled by something.
“We’ll be very happy together, as well as Lillian and Kevin, Jeremy, and the other children,” Hayden promised.
Stacey finally broke free from his grasp. She turned around and ran away quickly.
Hayden was stunned for a while before holding his hands together, a smile curling at his lips.
Stacey didn’t reject him.
Thus, his efforts these days hadn’t been in vain.
At least, she wouldn’t have directly told him they were incompatible like before.
At that, Hayden decided to work hard,
While thinking that, a person suddenly appeared from the corner. It was Queenie.
Hayden frowned instantly, turning around and walking in the direction Stacey left.
Queenie ran over anxiously and tried to grab Hayden’s arm, but Hayden turned around and avoided her.
“Queenie, you’re an adult now. You should be more mature,” Hayden said indifferently.
Queenie paled, croaking, “H–Hayden…. Do you really like Becky?
His bad mood suddenly brightened when he heard her question. He smiled and nodded. “Yes”
Queenie suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. She demanded, “What about Jeremy? If we get back together, Jeremy can have a complete family. We’re his parents.
The smile on Hayden’s face slowly disappeared. He looked at Queenie and sneered. “You keep repeating the same thing. Is that the only thing you know? Who taught you to say that! Your mom or your dad?”
Queenie’s face darkened even more as Hayden continued.
Hayden stood straight before Queenie. He gave off a domineering air as he was a head taller than her. “Queenie, let me repeat. We have divorced, so stop pestering me. If you refuse to listen, I don’t mind asking your grandfather to discipline you.”
“Your” Queenie gasped, staring at Hayden with a gloomy face.
Hayden turned around and left expressionlessly.
Queenie anxiously wanted to catch up with Hayden. However, she paused after recalling his words. She couldn’t keep pestering him anymore.
By how afraid his grandfather was of the Hoggard family, he would stop her from pestering Hayden if the latter complained
to him.
The most important thing was the family’s shares. Queenie’s grandfather was more biased toward her cousins, so he might end up giving all the company’s shares to them.

Chapter 207
Debra took the children back to their room and asked the maid to take them to bathe.
After playing outside for a whole day, their body was covered in sweat and sand. It felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Stacey headed back before they finished their shower.
As the door was locked, Stacey rang the doorbell several times. Seeing there was no response, she felt a little confused.
After waiting for a long time, Debra came out of the shower and vaguely heard the doorbell. Thus, she hurried out and opened the door.
“Why are you back?” Debra was surprised.
Stacey was rendered speechless. Not wanting to explain to Debra, Stacey went in without answering.
Looking at her daughter’s red ears, Debra soon understood and smiled meaningfully. Debra closed the door after seeing that Hayden wasn’t outside. “Lily and Kev are taking a shower, Debra explained to Stacey after returning to the room.
The hotel room they booked was similar to a suite. There were several rooms in it, each with an attached bathroom, so everyone could take a shower at the same time just now,
Stacey paused for a moment before nodding. “Okay, Stacey quickly entered the room and closed the door. Her heart was still thumping when she recalled Hayden’s words. She took several deep breaths before heading to the shower with a set of clothes.
After taking a shower, she decided she wasn’t in the mood to think about what happened. Thus, she took out her computer and opened her mailbox.
As expected, Hayden sent her a new email. It was information about Eugene.
Stacey quickly scanned through the information and tried to memorize it. However, she couldn’t help but think about Hayden’s words when looking at the information.
Stacey felt nervous. It was easy for her to get nervous when faced with an unfamiliar client.
This was unless she could treat her life like a television show.
Acting was what she was good at. Thinking of this, she came to the mirror and tried to adjust her expression.
When she suppressed her emotions and tried to control herself to act like a confident businesswoman, it seemed to be working.
However, life wasn’t like what they acted in dramas.
She couldn’t overexpress herself. If she did that, it would give others a bad feeling.
Thinking about that, Stacey looked at herself in the mirror and tried to readjust her expression. She tried hard for a time. It took her half an hour to feel good in her skin. However, Stacey wasn’t sure if she could pull it off.

Stacey pulled up Eugene’s profile and read through it twice. After that, she returned to the mirror to train her expression.
Someone suddenly knocked on the door, and Lillian’s childish voice sounded. “Mommy! Mommy!”
“Open the door, Mommy!” Kevin also shouted outside.
Stacey returned to her senses at once. She hurried over and opened the door.

I
When the door opened, Lillian and Kevin immediately poked their heads into the room curiously.
Stacey was confused by their actions and couldn’t help asking, “What are you guys looking at?”
Kevin turned to look at Stacey and asked in a childish voice, “Where’s Daddy?”
Lillian was also confused. “Yeah. Where did Daddy go? Didn’t he return with you?”
Stacey was speechless.
“I guess he had already returned home,” Stacey answered carefully. Her ears reddened when she thought about how she had dumped him and left.
“Why doesn’t Daddy live with us?” Lillian asked a difficult question again.
Kevin said seriously, “Loretta’s parents live together!”
Lillian nodded firmly. “That’s right!”
Stacey was frightened and hurriedly covered their mouths. She was glad that Hayden wasn’t here. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed to death!
Pondering about it, Stacey squatted down and decided to explain to them, “Lillian, Kevin, my relationship with Hayden is different from Loretta’s parents. We’re not married, so we can’t live together. In the future, don’t say such things before Mr. Hoggard… Hayden. Okay?”
