“If you have no objection, I’ll talk to Hay about it next time, Debra said happily.

Stacey’s heart clenched, and she hurriedly stopped her. “Mom! Don’t…”

She felt nervous as she spoke but didn’t know why. Regardless, she was a little afraid to tell Hayden about this.

“Why don’t we wait a little longer and talk about it later. Stacey hesitated the more she thought.

Debra could tell Stacey was hesitant. So, she smiled and didn’t push too hard, lest Stacey become anxious and make things worse instead. Debra smilingly said, “Okay, there’s no rush.”

At the airport, Queenie came out with her suitcase and hailed a taxi to Sanders Hotel. Her parents had found out that Hayden was in Daprein these days to attend Eklonna’s new product launch and was staying at Sanders Hotel. Queenie wasn’t familiar with Daprein, but fortunately, it was convenient to hail a taxi. She just needed to stop a taxi and ask the driver to take her directly to the hotel.

Hayden didn’t expect to actually meet Queenie in the hotel lobby on his way back from getting Becky and Debra Eklonna’s

invitations.

He instantly frowned. ‘What’s Queenie doing here?”

The smile he had at the thought of seeing Becky soon disappeared as he thought of Queenie’s recent entanglement with him. His expression darkened, and he walked toward the elevator without even looking at her.

After getting her keycard, Queenie turned around and saw a familiar figure. Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly chased after him with her suitcase in tow. Queenie nervously called, “Hog… Mr. Hoggard,”

Although they were married before, Queenie and Hayden werent very familiar with each other. They seldom spoke, and when they did, they spoke in a distant yet polite tone. So, even now, Queenie didn’t know how to address Hayden. “Mr. Hoggard” was what she used to call Hayden. It was distant and polite, just like their marriage.

Hayden frowned and was unhappy. “What’s the matter?”

Queenie was rendered speechless. She took a deep breath and snd, “Mr. Hoggard, I–I heard you’re here for Eklonna’s new product launch. I–I’d like to go too.”

Eklonna’s products were mainly designed for the royal families of Epean countries. Ordinary people could hardly afford them. Plus, Eklonna rarely sold them to ordinary people, except for a handful of those who had a very good relationship with Eklonna and were recognized by them.

According to Hayden’s understanding, the Leavey family wasn’t eligible to attend Eklonna’s new product launch. However, that had nothing to do with him. It was her own business if Queenie managed to obtain an invitation for Eklonna’s new product launch. He just had to do his own thing-

The elevator door opened. Hayden directly stepped in, turned around, and pressed the button for the 24th floor.

Queenie also hurriedly followed him in, but she looked at her own keycard and realized her room was on the seventh floor. She nervously asked, “Are you staying on the 24th floor?”

Hearing this, Hayden paused and asked, “Are you concerned about my situation?”

Queenie was rendered speechless.

Hayden looked at Queenie, thought for a while, and finally said, I’ll have a new girlfriend soon, and Jeremy likes her very

much. She’s also here for the launch. I just went to get some invitations for them. If possible…

Hayden looked at Queenie seriously. “If possible, I hope you can remember that we’re divorced. Don’t do anything in front of my future girlfriend that may easily cause her to misunderstand.”

Queenie’s expression changed drastically when she heard this. She anxiously asked, “Is it Becky?”

Hayden’s expression instantly turned cold as he asked, “How much information have you looked up?”

However, Queenie couldn’t hear him anymore. She anxiously said, “Mr. Hoggard… I- I don’t think she’s suitable for you. Becky was married before and has two children. It’s not suitable for you to be with her. If the family is blended, she’ll definitely treat her own children better. She’ll never treat Jeremy well.”

“Queenie, you wanted to abort Jeremy for your own selfish reasons when you were seven months pregnant. What qualifications do you have to say that others will treat him badly? Clear anger clouded Hayden’s face when she mentioned treating Jeremy well.

Queenie’s face paled in an instant. After a long moment, she said seriously. “It was my fault before, but now I know I was wrong.. Mr. Hoggard, believe me. I’ll definitely treat Jeremy well in the future and never let him get hurt again.”

“No thanks,” Hayden said unhappily.

The elevator was approaching the seventh floor, and Hayden reminded, “Ms. Leavey, if your floor has arrived, please get out. I’m going to find my girlfriend. Please don’t follow me and humiliate yourself.”

Hayden helped her press the button to the seventh floor. The elevator door opened, and he waited for Queenie to go out.

Queenie held her suitcase close and refused to leave.

Hayden was speechless.

Hayden looked grim as he watched the elevator door close and continue to rise slowly to the 24th floor. He ignored Queenie, went directly to Stacey’s room, and knocked on the door.

The door quickly opened, and it was Becky. The ice on Hayden’s face melted instantly. He looked at Becky with a gentle smile on his face.

Stacey subconsciously smiled too when she saw Hayden. But soon, she saw the woman following behind him. She was stunned and found it weird.

In the room, Lillian and Kevin noticed the movement at the door and were instantly happy. They ran over like small cannonballs and pounced on Hayden once they saw him

Kevin exclaimed, “Daddy!”

Lillian called, “Daddy!”

Lillian and Kevin called out one after the other. The two kids were already skilled and hugged each of Hayden’s thighs

Behind Hayden, Queenie’s expression instantly darkened. ‘Becky’s children are already calling Hayden ‘Daddy?” she thought.

Hayden took out the invitation and handed it to Becky. “Becky, this is Eklonna’s invitation. We’ll go together tomorrow.”

Stacey’s eyes lit up when she saw the invitation. She happily said Thank you so much.”

“May I come in?” Hayden asked Stacey

Stacey came to her senses and quickly invited Hayden in.
