Chapter 173
Chapter 173 Layla even lowered her standards to Joanna , but she didnt expect Hayden to refuse to remarry .
Hayden frowned slightly .
If it were anyone else , he wouldnt even bother saying a word .
However , he knew Laylas temper all too well .
I was the one who wronged Yvonne .
She is the only wife I will ever have .
After emphasizing it once again , he turned and left .
Layla slumped back onto the sofa , utterly drained .
Her eyes were vacant as she stared at the scattered pieces of paper on the floor .
She only had two children in her life .
Nevin was incompetent and destined for a life of indulgence .
Fortunately , Hayden was intelligent and promising .
However , Layla didnt expect that Hayden would be ruined by Yvonne .
The point was that Hayden had no heir yet .
It would be a problem if he never remarried .
Layla gritted her teeth and clenched her hands before thinking , Yvonne , you wont even let my son go in death ! The large living room was filled with resentment .
Hayden drove back to Rosy House .
He originally only meant to make a quick visit and reassure everyone that he was alright .
He didnt expect that Layla would come up with all those whimsical ideas .
He didnt want to spend another minute in that place as a result .
Upon his return to Rosy House , he found everything eerily quiet .
The villa was shrouded in darkness , not a single light illuminated the surroundings .
The servants assumed he was staying at the Parker residence for the night , so they had all retired for the day .
Only a few on night duty were startled to witness his return .
Mr.
Parker , welcome back … Hayden nodded , suddenly struck by the profound silence that enveloped the house .
Has everyone gone to bed ? The servants were momentarily taken aback but quickly recovered .
Yes , Mr.
Parker .
Is there anything you need ? Ill wake everyone up .
Theres no need .
Hayden waved his hand dismissively .
Only after the words had left his mouth did he realize , with a jolt , that the person he truly wanted to ask about was Yvonne .
In the past , even though Yvonne never waited up for him , her presence had always filled the house with a welcoming warmth and light .
Now , it felt empty and cold .
A wave of sadness welled up from the bottom of his heart and surged into his mind .
After the servants dispersed , he walked upstairs .
Every step was heavier than ever before .
When he pushed open the bedroom door and found it quiet , the calmness and composure he had forced on his face finally crumbled .
18 Chapter 173 Yvonnes fare and smile kept flashing through his mind .
Hayden ? What are you doing here ? Dont you know how to knock ? is rare for you to come back Grandma is gone , so you dont have to pretend to be well behaved anymore , do you ? Every word she had ever said , even if it was sarcastic , he remembered clearly Now that he thought about it carefully , the only reason he came back to sleep there after his grandmas passing was that he wanted to see hei It was a pity that he had realized it too late .
Sigh .
With an unconscious sigh , Hayden walked slowly into the room .
He remembered that Yvonne liked to sleep on the side of the bed facing the window .
He sat on the edge of the bed now , his inbling slightly as he caressed the pillow she used to sleep on .
It was as if her scent still lingered there .
Yvonne , he murmured her name , his handsome face drained of all color , his face pale and lifeless .
In the past , he did not understand what it meant to be sad and sorrowful .
Now .
Yvonnes departure had made him understand what true pain was He didnt even know when he had developed so many feelings for her .
Every piece of news about her would pull at his heart .
At that moment , a melodious piano sound suddenly came from outside the door .
Each note seemed to contain a deep longing , reaching the depths of ones heart .
Most importantly , this melody was very familiar to Hayden .
It was the tune that had awakened him from his coma .
His heart skipped a beat , and he quickly got up and chased after the sound .
He thought , Only Yvonne should know this melody ! Could it be that shes not dead ? It must be .
She must have faked her death to punish me ! He kept fantasizing about this possibility .
Hayden rushed to the corner of the stairs in one breath , only to find that it was a maid watching a video on her mobile phone .
While watching and crying , her eyes were red and swollen .
The beautiful piano sound came from the maids mobile phone .
The hope in his heart was instantly shattered .
What followed was an emptiness in his heart and a deep powerlessness .
What video is that ? He asked suddenly .
The maid was so engrossed in her crying that she didnt even hear the footsteps .
Suddenly hearing a human voice , she trembled in fright and almost couldnt hold her mobile phone .
Mr.
Parker … What are you holding in your hand ? Hayden asked again , frowning .
The maid said with a sob , Its when Mrs.
Parker played the piano when she was still alive .
I thought it sounded so good at the Chapter 173 time , so I secretly recorded it .
She was always very kind to me .
L … I heard the news that she jumped into the sea , and I felt sid … Every word she uttered was laced with a slight tremble .
After all , it was wrong to film Yvonne without her consent , and now that everyone knew she was gone , Hayden must be devastated .
Everyone was deliberately avoiding the subject .
She also feared that if Hayden got angry , she would lose her job .
However , not only did Hayden not get angry , but his eyes even softened a little when he heard it was something related to Yvonne She played the piano at home ? Let me see .
Hayden remembered seeing Yvonne sitting in front of the piano once when he came back .
He asked her to play a song , but she refused .
The maid respectfully handed over her phone .
Last time , a piano was delivered to the house , and Mrs.
Parker loved it .
She played beautifully ! But later , the piano was taken away … It was originally a gift from Hayden to Joanna , but it was sent to the wrong address .
Hayden didnt think about it .
After glancing at the video and confirming that the woman was indeed Yvonne , he asked the maid to send it to his phone .
He went back to his bedroom and only started playing the video after closing the door.
With her long hair cascading over her shoulders , Yvonne sat gracefully at the piano , her slender fingers dancing over the black and white keys , each note coming to life beneath her touch .
The soothing music , as if given a soul by her , became so lively and healing .
The famil familiar melody instantly transported Hayden back to those days of coma .
He struggled desperately in darkness , and it was the arrival of this melody that guided him and urged him not to give up Now , the thought of Yvonne traveling abroad alone , leaving everything behind to care for and accompany him , only only to be mistaken by him in the end , Haydens heart ached with every beat .
His hand holding the phone trembled slightly .
His vision blurred , a glimmer of light shimmering in the depths of his eyes .
I should have recognized you sooner … A deep sorrow spread from his voice .
