Chapter 364: Hayden Forced into Marriage
The Reed family was stunned once again.
What was this all about?
Hey!
Can’t someone have a peaceful meal?
Such antics are bound to blow one’s mind!
Jared, smiling, offered another piece of meat, “What are you doing? Don’t make it seem like I’m bullying you. I am a very gentle person.”
Hayden, “…”
Damn it!
To hell with that!
Jared tilted his head, looking at Tina, “Tina, am I gentle?”
“Yes.” Tina nodded earnestly, “My uncle is the gentlest person in the world.”
Hayden, “…”
So, love can disappear, right?
The corners of Jared’s lips deepened as he softly whispered to Hayden, “Be good! Eat up quickly so you can leave.”
Hayden, on the verge of tears, pleaded, “No, Mr. Farrell! Please spare me, I won’t dare to break off our friendship again!”
It was infuriating!
He dared not confront his brothers!
Nor provoke Mr. Farrell!
Who would save him?
“Alright!” Jared was still smiling, “I’ve brought you a gift.”
Hayden suddenly had a bad premonition.
Just then, a sharp shout came from outside the private room, “Hayden! Get out here!”
Hayden leaped up, his mind in a blur, “Holy crap! Mr. Farrell, that’s too harsh!”
His doomsday was upon him!
As he was about to flee, suddenly, the door was kicked open.
Everyone looked up to see a girl in a tight black leather outfit, her hair cascading down, stepping in.
As soon as she entered, she headed straight for Hayden.
Hayden shivered and hurriedly ran.
But after just a few steps, the girl leaped forward, blocking his path and grabbed his collar, “Running away? You slept with me and won’t take responsibility, and you even dare to hide?”
Hearing this, everyone cast strange glances at Hayden.
Hayden, feeling the heat on his face, shook her off and retorted, “Paula, stop talking nonsense, when did I ever sleep with you?”
“I don’t care, you’re not getting away! Even if it means breaking your legs today, you’re going to get registered with me!” Paula said, hands on her hips, furiously.
“I would never marry a tomboy like you!” Hayden retorted and turned to run.
Paula dashed forward, swinging a kick.
Hayden dodged and seized the opportunity to run outside.
Paula wouldn’t let him escape, kicking him in the back.
“Ouch!” Hayden, caught off guard, fell to the ground, shouting, “Are you serious?”
Damn!
If she weren’t a woman, he would have fought back already!
Paula straddled him, grabbed his hair, “Daring to sleep with me and not take responsibility? You’re the first, and I’m telling you, unless I’m dead, you’ll never escape my grasp!”
She choked Hayden with her arm, “I’m asking you one more time, will you register with me?”
“No, no, no!” Hayden was furious.
This crazy woman!
Spouting lies as soon as she opens her mouth!
He couldn’t even avoid her, let alone sleep with her.
Like a tomboy, so fierce; who in their right mind would marry her?
Unless he was the last man on Earth, he would never marry her!
“Fine!” Paula, not angry but smiling, “Then I’ll break your dog legs and have you lie in bed for life. Let’s see how you’ll run then!”
With that, Paula stood up, picked up a nearby chair, and smashed it towards Hayden.
Hayden had just been kicked, his back wrenching out of place, unable to dodge in time. As a chair was about to smash down on him, Tina suddenly darted forward, seizing Paula’s wrist with one hand, her expression icy. “Laying hands on mine? Did you ask my permission?”
Paula looked up at Tina, taken aback by her beauty. Suddenly, something clicked for her, and she turned back to Hayden, teeth clenched in anger. “So that’s it, Hayden! No wonder you’ve been avoiding me like the plague. You’ve hooked up with this little witch, huh? Thinking of ditching me to be with her? In your dreams!”
Tina was nonchalant. She glanced at Jared and said slowly, “Uncle, she called me a ‘little witch.’ That’s a compliment, right?”
Jared coughed slightly, a smile playing at his lips. “Yes, a compliment indeed!”
Tina rolled her eyes. “Uncle, you’ve gone bad!”
Seeing Paula’s misunderstanding, Hayden immediately became anxious. “What nonsense are you spouting? She’s my Serena!”
“Serena?” Paula paused for a moment, then dramatically changed her demeanor, dropping to her knees and clutching Tina’s legs, tears springing forth. “Serena, you have to stand up for me! This heartbreaker! After he slept with me, he just kicked me away. I, a pure and innocent girl, have been disgraced by him. I can’t face living anymore!”
Tina, previously stone-faced, couldn’t hold it any longer. She coughed awkwardly. “Uh, get up first!”
“No!” Paula clung tighter to her trousers. “You have to help me. You don’t understand, I’ve been miserable. I’ve been searching for him for fifteen years, and he’s always avoided me, refusing to acknowledge it! I pleaded and I threatened, but he won’t take responsibility!”
“All I wanted was for him to give me a status! I’m already twenty-three, and my family is pushing me to marry. But now, everyone knows he slept with me, and no one will have me. I’m truly desperate.”
Tina’s eyes narrowed sharply.
Everyone looked at Hayden as if he were a monster.
Paula was twenty-three, searching for Hayden for fifteen years-that meant she was only seven or eight when Hayden supposedly…
Beast!
Hayden stared at Paula in disbelief, astounded at how someone could twist the truth so perversely.
Was this even human?
As he was lost in shock, Tina gently patted Paula’s shoulder in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this. We don’t have such beasts in Serenity Ridge!”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Then, she walked towards Hayden.
Before he could react, he heard two snaps-Tina had broken his arms and legs.
The pain hit him, and he screamed out loud, “Ahh!!”
The Reed family was speechless.
Holy crap!
Was their little cousin this fierce?
The sound alone was painful to hear.
Better to keep a distance in the future!
Hayden lay on the ground, wailing and glaring resentfully at Paula. “You wretched woman, won’t you be happy until you’ve killed me? When have I ever slept with you? Was it when I kissed you as a child? How could a kiss kill you?”
“Explain this to Serena right now!” Hayden wanted nothing more than to beat Paula senseless.
