Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 456: Hayden is Anxious

Paula White cradled a coat in her arms, never before feeling such sweetness. By the time Hayden returned, Paula White had truly fallen asleep. Clutching Hayden's coat to her chest, a smile typical of a little girl who had just received candy adorned her face.

Hayden carried a plethora of items-both finished and semi-finished products-filling up Paula White's refrigerator to the brim. He also placed some takeout food in the microwave and tagged it with a note, reminding Paula White to eat it once she woke up. After arranging everything, he carried Paula White back to her bedroom and quietly left. The coat remained tightly clutched in Paula White's hands, impossible to retrieve now.

The next day, Tina's phone was bombarded with messages, all from someone nicknamed "Hand-torn Husky."

"Serena, there's never been so much in our fridge before!"

"He carried me to bed yesterday, ahhh, does he care about me?"

"Serena, is this a secret crush or an obvious one? Am I tormenting myself?"

Tina, reading the continuous stream of messages, rubbed her temples. Whether Paula White was secretly or openly in love, or if she was tormenting herself, Tina did not know. But one thing was clear-Paula White was definitely tormenting her! "Shut up," she texted back.

"Hehe, Serena, you're awake! What do I do next? I don't know how to proceed. He hasn't said he likes me, but why does he care? I'm worried I might be overthinking things; maybe he was just buying me stuff."

After a while, Tina fully woke up and swiftly typed on her phone, "Meet at the Silver Bar tonight at eight."

She then called James. He picked up quickly, his cocky voice coming through, "My dear Serena, missing me this early in the day?"

"Get lost." Tina momentarily regretted making the call.

Continuing, she said, "Tonight at eight, bring Old Ten to the Silver Bar."

"Got it!" James paused, "Serena, is Paula White also coming?"

"How did you know?" Tina was startled.

James, with the expertise of a seasoned player, chuckled, "Little girl tricks, we all get it, except Old Ten is too dense to notice. He should have realized, ever since we were kids, the person he's talked about the most besides you is Paula White."

"A few times, Paula White seemed to be busy with some patent and didn't come around much. He was really anxious then. Don't worry, Serena, there's potential between them."
