Chapter 103: Cayden Confesses!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Cayden made Hailey’s heart race, she didn’t show it.
Hailey nudged Rachel and chided, “What nonsense are you spouting? I’m not the same as you, married yet still eying young hunks. I’ll never betray my husband.
!!
In Hailey’s eyes, Jordan was now the perfect man for her as he fulfilled all her fantasies about her dream guy.
Rachel continued, “I know you and Jordan love each other, but a little fun won’t hurt, seriously. I’ll let you in on a secret, Cayden’s family is worth billions too. He’s just as wealthy as your husband!”
“What?”
Hailey’s jaw dropped. ‘Why have I never met a billionaire scion in the past but now that I’m married, even a random person I meet is a billionaire.’
Since she was being threatened by Cayden, Rachel had no choice but to continue to put in a good word for him. She said, “Hailey, your husband might find out about you and Tyler one day. Besides, you used to treat him so terribly in the past three years. He might just divorce you someday.”
“I think you should find a backup boyfriend. Cayden is very smitten with you, and he’s quite a good catch. You should consider giving him a shot.”
After saying that, Rachel left.
“Miss Camden, do you have time now? I can tell you more about the source of inspiration for my design and the future plans for this private residential project.”
Cayden was pretentiously acting like he was working seriously.
“Sure.” Hailey ruffled her long, beautiful tresses and answered smilingly.
…
Three days later.
It was drizzling at 9 pm.
Jordan was still working in the office. He knew that Hailey would be supervising the progress of Hailey Residences for the time being and was much more worried about her than usual because she was pregnant. Hence, he gave her a call.
“Honey, are you still at the construction site of Hailey Residences? You didn’t drive today, did you? Do you want me to go over and pick you up?” Jordan asked.
Hailey answered, “It’s alright, Hubby, continue with your work. I called a taxi, and I’m already home!”
“Oh, okay, I’ll be home soon. Go to bed if you’re tired.”
“Alright, love you.”
After hanging up, Hailey touched the car’s gla.s.s window while admiring the raindrops that were trickling down the window, feeling extremely at ease.
At this moment, she was sitting in the pa.s.senger seat of Cayden’s $3.5-million sports car.
Cayden had just driven her to Rose Garden Villa.
He pulled over across the road and did not drive-in.
“Thank you for sending me home, Cayden.” Hailey smiled and thanked him.
Cayden teased, “Sending a G.o.ddess home is something mortals like me would die for. I should be thanking you instead.”
Cayden had a glib tongue, and he had utterly put Hailey on a pedestal with his sweet nothings. For the past few days, Hailey worked with Cayden and grew fonder and fonder of her.
Hailey patted Cayden gently and said, “You’re so good at sweet-talking and coaxing girls. G.o.d knows how many girls you’ve fooled.”
Cayden defended himself innocently, “I’m so wronged. Miss Camden, you’re the only one I’ve ever complimented in this life! Other women can’t catch my eye at all.”
“Psht, as if I’d believe you. You’re such a dreamboat. There must be plenty of girls courting you.”
Hailey couldn’t help but glance at Cayden’s das.h.i.+ng side profile before saying, “It’s getting late, and my husband is coming home soon. It would be bad if he sees us. I have to get going. See you at the office tomorrow.”
Hailey was just about to open the car door and alight from the car, but to her surprise, Cayden suddenly grabbed her hand.
“Miss Camden…”
Extremely stunned and at a loss, Hailey asked, “What are you doing?”
Cayden had been deliberately trying to get closer to Hailey for the past three days, and he felt that the time was ripe.
Thus, he confessed, “Miss Camden, I’ve been in love with you ever since I saw you three days ago. You’re the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever met. I really adore you!”
Hailey was at a loss for words in response to Cayden’s confession.
However, a woman’s sixth sense is very accurate. She could tell since a long time ago that Cayden was interested in her.
Hailey let go of Cayden’s hand and said, “Cayden, I’m married, and I’m expecting now. You’re such a brilliant man. Why do you fancy me? There are many girls you can choose from.”
Cayden grabbed Hailey’s hand again and said with a sincere expression, “No woman in this world can compare to you!”
Hailey was feeling extremely conflicted, but a three-day encounter was still no match for a three-year relations.h.i.+p.
Besides, she didn’t know Cayden very well yet, so she couldn’t say yes to him.
Hailey said, “I don’t know much about you yet.”
Hailey also wanted to take the opportunity to find out what exactly Cayden did for a living and why he was so affluent.
At this moment, Cayden decided to come clean with her. “My family runs a logistic business. Breezy Express belongs to us.”
Hailey was immediately shocked to hear his words. “Breezy Express? Mr. Arthur Huxley is your grandfather? Are you Tyler Collins’ cousin?”
Cayden nodded.
Hailey was stunned. Breezy Express was the biggest logistics company in the nation. If Cayden was Arthur Huxley’s grandson, it was no doubt that his family would have billions in a.s.sets!
However, Hailey was a little worried at the moment because Jordan had had a feud with Tyler previously, and Tyler had gone to the Huxleys for help.
Hailey once again let go of Cayden’s hand and asked, “What are you here in Orlando for? Surely you’re not here to look for trouble with my husband, are you?”
Pretending to be unaware of the situation, Cayden asked with a puzzled expression, “Look for trouble with your husband? Why would I do that? By the way, do you know Tyler too? Tyler may be my relative, but the Collins has never been in touch with the Huxleys, and I haven’t seen Tyler in years.”
Hailey had been “married” to Tyler before, so she had heard from him that the Huxleys, indeed, wouldn’t entertain the Collins or even see them when they visited.
Thus, it was perfectly reasonable for Cayden to have not met Tyler before.
Hailey continued to ask, “Didn’t Tyler go to New York to look for you guys?”
Cayden answered, “I don’t know, I’ve been abroad for the last few years, and I just came back a few days ago. As soon as I did, Rachel dragged me here to help you. I haven’t gone home yet. What’s the matter? Did something happen?”
Hailey waved her hand and said, “No, it’s nothing.”
Since Cayden didn’t know what happened between Jordan and Rosie Huxley, she decided not to tell him.
Jordan had explained to Hailey that nothing happened between him and Rosie Huxley that night . He merely asked her to sing for the entire night.
Hailey knew what kind of a person Jordan was, and she trusted him too.
Hailey asked, “Cayden, how is your relations.h.i.+p with your aunt?”
Cayden asked, “You mean Rosie Huxley? She’s not my aunt. The Huxleys disowned her a long time ago.”
Hailey felt relieved. She thought that since the Huxleys had disowned Rosie, they wouldn’t take revenge on Jordan for her.
Cayden grabbed Hailey’s hand again and asked, “G.o.ddess, are you deliberately changing the subject? I’ve just confessed my love to you. How exactly do you feel about me?”
Hailey suddenly felt shy and was at a complete loss for words.
However, this time, Hailey didn’t shake his handoff.
Instead, she allowed him to interlock his fingers tightly with hers, as lovers would!
