Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Hello 413

Chapter 413

Could she really be here just to mess with me?

Nah, Tanya had to have some other reason for showing up like this.

I was about to say something when Hayden and Ron appeared. Hayden stepped right next to me, his expression ice-cold as he locked eyes with Tanya. "What's your child got to do with us?"

Tanya flinched, clearly not ready to face Hayden's intensity. She pointed a shaky finger at me. "If she hadn't gone after Jace, none of this would've happened."

They've known each other for ten years-where were you then?" Hayden's comeback was so sharp, even I blinked. "Who cares who's chasing who?"

Tanya's shock was written all over her face. Clearly, she didn't expect Hayden to go in so hard or to care so little about her drama.

I started piecing it together-Tanya wasn't here just to cause chaos. She was trying to stir things up between me and Hayden. But what was her endgame? If she broke us up, did she seriously think I'd run back to Jace? That would just make things worse for her. "She's always trying to get between me and Jace," Tanya kept whining, trying to make me the bad guy. Hayden's smirk was almost cruel. "If your relationship was so solid, no one could mess with it. Just like how your little stunt right now isn't going to make me doubt Keira,"

He totally saw through her.
