Chapter 242: I Am His Wife


    Kevin’s sincere confession could be witnessed by everyone present.


    Hayden had previously always questioned his sincerity towards yna, but he had taken care of


    yna for the past few months. Now he had even put down his high status to apany yna to


    America for her treatment. Even though they were only dating, it was already considered great


    benevolence.


    She thought if she was yna, she wouldn’t be able to reject him this time too.


    But yna was yna, even under Kevin’s sugar-coated and sincere attack, she remained firm on her


    grounds. Brimming with tears, she rejected Kevin,


    “I’m sorry, I can’t ept you.”


    Hearing this, Kevin’s eyes clearly showed disappointment, his raised hands which were holding the ring


    hung in mid-air, unsure whether to retract it or continue holding it. Even Hayden who was watching felt


    a pang of awkwardness.


    yna inhaled deeply, eerily calm,


    “Look at me now, I am already happy if you are willing to apany me. To be honest, I wasn’t even


    willing to let you apany me to America. My life has already turned out into this uncontroble way,


    no one knows what will happen tomorrow. But you are different from me, you have no responsibility


    towards me, why loop yourself into all these?”


    These words were said rationally, but a listening Hayden felt sorry for Kevin. After so much hard work,


    yna still couldn’tpletely trust him and let him take full care of her body and heart.


    Even Hayden felt upset, what’s more Kevin.


    “I… I understand.” Kevin retracted the ring, and said softly, “No worries, I can wait, wait for you to


    recover.”


    The mood was sombre, everyone was immersed in the regretful situation. Only Edison who was calm,


    looked at the time and reminded them, “Time is runningte, you guys should head for security check.”


    Among everyone who were immersed in the emotional situation, Edison appeared exceptionally calm


    and collected. His voice had a soothing quality for everyone.


    Hayden held yna’s hand, “No matter what decision you make, I will always support you, but you


    have to remember, I hope that you live on bravely, you still have many ces you haven’t visited, many


    great food you haven’t tasted. You told me before that you wanted to experience and taste everything


    and anything in this world.”


    yna nodded her head, “I know.”


    “Take care of her,”


    Hayden ced yna’s hand in Kevin’s, “Time will change everything, maybe one day…”


    She didn’t finish her sentence, but she knew Kevin would understand her words, time will change


    everything, perseverance will lead to results.


    “Yes, I understand.” Kevin took yna’s hand from Hayden, nced at Edison and said, “Then we will


    head for security check now, you guys have a chat.”


    Kevin and yna entered security check. Edison turned around and retrieved a blue-grey suede box


    from his pocket and handed it to Hayden.


    “This is for you.”


    Haydenughed and took the box from Edison.


    Standing by the side, Joseph’s face sank.


    Edison took a look at Hayden, “There are many things I have to settle this time I’m headed back,


    there’ll be some time before I cane back to visit you, please take care of yourself.”


    “Yes, I know.”


    Hayden nodded her head, “Ste had to go to school today, if not, I would have brought her to send


    you off.”


    “No worries at all, plenty of time in the future.”


    Edison’s eyes were quiet and dark, “If Ste has any health issues, drop me a call immediately. I will


    get my friend in America to contact a doctor that is specialized in this area, the next time I’m there I’ll


    send Ste there for a check-up.”


    “Sure.”


    While both of them were still talking, the faint voice of Joseph said,


    “The ne is taking off.”


    Hayden turned around and saw Joseph standing as straight as a pole two steps away from her, with


    one hand raised, looking at Edison with a nk expression,


    “You were rushing Kevin and Hayden just now, but it’s your turn now and you don’t seem to be in a


    hurry at all?”


    Hayden frowned, Joseph didn’t use to talk so much.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    “Mr Beckham, thanks for your kind reminder. I was reminding Kevin and Hayden not to dy their


    boarding time, not because I was worried they would miss the ne, but I was more worried on them


    missing their hospitalization timing. There are limited beds in the rehabilitation centre, if they’rete,


    there will be a problem with getting a suitable private room. So, it doesn’t matter at all whether I catch


    the ne on time.”


    Edison’s calm expression and patient manner in speaking were a stark contrast to Joseph.


    Joseph’s eyes sank, “Then from what I understand, does this mean that you are actually not intending


    to leave?”


    Wasn’t he picking a fight? Hayden’s frown deepened, “What’s up with you Joseph?”


    “Just asking, don’t misunderstand.” Joseph took a look at her, previous incidents had taught him a


    lesson, so he was trying his best to suppress his anger.


    Edison’s eyes brightened, and there was a hint ofughter in his eyes, and he said slowly,


    “I really don’t feel like leaving. I was only back a short time this round, I spent too much time working


    and hadn’t spent enough time with Ste, and I couldn’t even help in Hayden’spany’s issues. But


    in the interest of Kevin and yna, I think Mr Beckham, you will help out right?”


    Edison’s words were meaningful, but difficult to understand the deeper meaning to it.


    From Hayden’s point of view, Edison was courteous and simply making some polite remarks to Joseph.


    But from Joseph’s standpoint, this was Edison inly proiming his territory. Instead of saying that


    Joseph would help out in the interest of Hayden, he was instead saying that he should help out only in


    the interests of Kevin and yna. It was clear what his intention was from that sentence.


    Thinking deeper into it, Edison was also avoiding talking about his rtionship with Hayden in the past.


    On the issue of women, men can usually tell whether this is a friend or foe, simply from a look at the


    guy. What’s more they had exchanged such a long conversation.


    ording to Joseph, Edison was definitely a foe.


    “Of course.” Joseph’s eyes were dark, looking at Edison he added a little bit of pressure to his words,


    “Let’s not speak about the past. Even if we’re not looking at Kevin and yna’s interests, I will also


    look in the best interests of Ste and Noah and take care of Hayden well.”


    I thought we weren''t going there anymore, but he still brought it up.


    You have n A, I too have n B.


    Edison’s face remained unchanged, his cheerful and smooth voice was crisp and clear, “Children get


    along very easily, what’s more they are of the same age. Ste also has a very lovable personality, she


    can get along with everyone.”


    “Apart from this reason, it is also mainly because my son really likes Hayden.”


    The two of them were exchanging back and forth for a long time. A listening Hayden was getting more


    and more confused, “Are you guys doing a meet-the-parent session? You’re even talking about the kids


    now? Edison, you don’t have to be polite to him, go head for your security check, you’re going to be


    late.”


    Edison gave a small smile, “Alright then, I’ll head off now.”


    Hayden waved at Edison’s back, “Drop me a text to let me know you’re safe once you arrive.”


    Edison waved his hand in agreement.


    Joseph who was standing by the side, had his brows furrowed till the lines on his forehead formed a


    railway track. His cold voice contained a hint of unhappiness,


    “Are you his mum? Why does he even need to report to you when he gets off the ne?”


    Hayden took a look at him, and replied faintly, “I am his wife.”
