Faux Vows, True Desires
Chapter 426
At Skywatch.
Hayden had been pacing in front of the Porter residence since morning when finally, a door opened, and a servant motioned for him to come inside.
"Does this mean Miss Porter has agreed to see me?"
Hayden asked as he followed the servant through the halls, a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
The servant remained silent.
Hayden took the silence as a sign that he might have a chance, perhaps Madeleine had agreed to meet him after all. The servant's silence was of little concern to him now. However, only Mrs. Porter was present in the opulent main house.
The servant led Hayden in and, with a respectful nod, announced, "Madam, Mr. Hayden has arrived."
Mrs. Porter hummed in acknowledgment, gesturing for the servant to brew some tea, and motioned for Hayden to take a seat.
Hayden sat down, his face brightening into a smile. "Mrs. Porter," he greeted eagerly.
Mrs. Porter's face remained cold, merely giving a nod.
Just the sight of this man reminded her how her daughter had been dishonored by him.
She could hardly hold back from going for his jugular.
Once seated, Hayden glanced around before asking with a flattering tone, "Where's Madeleine? Why isn't she here?"
He gently placed the bouquet on the coffee table, turning to Mrs. Porter. "I've brought these roses for Madeleine. She adores roses, as you know."
"Do you truly intend to take responsibility for my daughter?" She chose not to answer his question. Her daughter and husband had gone to Pinehurst, and she didn't want to reveal their whereabouts. Nathan was always cautious when he was out, and so
