Faux Vows, True Desires

That's how it was. He didn't know when he would cradle his grandchild in his arms. The anticipation of becoming a grandfather was a sweet torture.

Keith grunted in acknowledgment, watching as his father and Pete hurriedly left the office.

His father didn't tell him, but Keith could make a fair guess. Last night, his father had been tricked by Madeleine, Keith had to rush him to the hospital. He had no idea what kind of scandal Madeleine had stirred up at their home.

Keith laughed abruptly, "Such a fascinating drama, and Dad won't even let me go home to watch."

But someone would bring him the juicy details, he was sure of it.

However, when Ashley found out that her husband had spent the night with Madeleine, she stormed to the main house, shouting as soon as she entered, "Hayden, get out here now, Madeleine, you wretched woman, how dare you seduce my husband!"

"Madam Ashley, Madam."

The housekeepers tried to stop her, but Ashley was unstoppable. Even a team of strong men wouldn't have been able to hold her back.

She pushed past everyone, none of the housekeepers daring to restrain her too forcefully for fear of hurting her. She stomped upstairs where Hayden and Madeleine were.

However, her joy didn't last long. She screamed seeing Hayden in front of her.

Hayden!

How could it be Hayden!

Madeleine understood everything seeing Hayden in disarray.

She screamed, throwing herself at Hayden, hitting him while cursing, "Hayden, you beast! I'm your future sister-in-law. How dare you do this to me! I'll kill you, you bastard!"
