Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 198 If Tina knew that Hayden had assigned such an important task to her , she could only imagine the endless trouble shed be facing later .

Haydens gaze was cold as he looked at her and said , The Cliffbit Project is right next to Dolphyland .

So what ? Lucy thought hard but couldnt see the connection .

After all , wasnt Dolphyland under the Warner familys control ? The businesspeople from Elysiumville stayed far away from that place .

Yet Hayden , undeterred by any of the bad luck surrounding Dolphyland , had bought land right next to it and started construction .

Marlons back , and hes brought a child with him .

Go see whats going on , Hayden said directly .

Lucy felt like flipping the table .

She took a deep breath to calm herself , reminded of her family , and forced herself to reply , Isnt it normal for him to have a child ! Mr.

Parker , Im really busy .

Please , have someone else handle this .

Without another word , she stood up and turned her back to leave .

She had matured a lot over the years .

At the Parker Group , she wasnt just coasting along shed learned a lot of real skills .

She didnt have time to waste on snooping into other peoples private matters .

Hayden had anticipated she would walk away , so he wasnt in a rush .

He calmly lifted his lips and said , Marlon has always liked Yvonne .

After he came back from overseas three years ago , he started making trouble for me .

Then , one day , he just disappeared .

Dolphyland began construction shortly after .

Now , hes back with a child .

Dont you find that odd ? Everything about it timeline , feelings , coincidences seemed too perfect to ignore .

Haydens intuition told him there was something deeper at play here .

But in Lucys eyes , his instincts seemed like the delusions of a madman .

She turned around , a sneer curling on her lips .

So youre saying … Yvonnes still alive ! Hayden , is this your excuse for not putting up a headstone for her after three years ? She nearly shouted the last sentence .

Her eyes were bloodshot , her gaze fixed on Hayden as she spat , Youre worse than Yosef .

At least Yosef didnt hold a proper funeral for Yvonnes mother , but he let her rest in peace .

You ? Yvonne loved you for ten years , gave her heart and soul to you , and after she died , you didnt even bother to give her a tombstone ? Lucy had once thought about putting up a memorial for Yvonne , but Hayden had forbidden it , sending people to sabotage her attempts It wasnt until the Coffey family intervened that she reluctantly gave up .

That experience had planted a seed of hatred in her heart .

Every time she saw Hayden , she felt disgusted .

She couldnt even face Yvonnes memory anymore .

Haydens face turned pale , and after a long silence , he finally muttered , If the bodys never found , theres always a chance shes still alive .

That was the only hope that had kept him going all these years .

What if Yvonne hadnt died ? 1/8 112 PM D Chapter 198 Maybe the sea had washed her ashore , maybe someone had saved her , maybe she had amnesia , As long as there was no body , he would believe she was still out there .

Youre insane .

Lucy snapped , not wanting to say another word .

Yvonne must have been cursed in her past life to be entangled with such a despicable man She yelled and stormed out of the room .

Anyway , she was never going to rein it in .

If Hayden was upset , he could easily kick her out .

And she would probably be relieved .

The secretaries watched her go .

The new secretary , wide eyed , whispered , Who i door ! she ? So angry , she even slammed the bosss Dont you know ? Thats Lucy , our CEOs ex wifes best friend .

Shes the only one who dares treat Mr.

Parker like that , an older secretary explained .

Ah , so thats who she is … but theyre divorced now .

Why does the boss still let her treat him like this ? Who knows ! Hayden drove alone to the beach at night .

As the sun set , the golden rays reflected off the sea , dazzling and mesmerizing .

He often came here alone these days .

In a small café by the water , he would order a cup of coffee and sit silently from dawn to dusk , never speaking .

No one could guess what thoughts were running through his mind .

Only he knew he was endlessly replaying the moments he had shared with Yvonne .

Yasir once said that despite his wisdom , Hayden was hopelessly slow when it came to emotions .

All these years had been wasted .

It wasnt until he had completely lost her that he realized , she was truly gone .

Along with her, she had taken his heart .

Now , he was but a soulless shell of a man .

He wasnt sure how long hed been sitting there when suddenly someone sat across from him .

Without lifting his eyes , Hayden muttered , What do you want ? He didnt need to look to know it was Nevin .

Sometimes Nevin would find him here , sitting until midnight .

Did Richard find anything about Marlon ? Whats this all about ? Nevin asked , not answering Haydens question .

Nevin wasnt the same obedient follower he had once been .

He had matured , and now helped Hayden with the Parker Groups affairs , doing quite well .

Hayden didnt answer , his gaze still fixed on the sea .

Hayden , its been so long .

You still havent let go ? Nevin sighed , feeling sorry for him .

He never expected Hayden to be this stubborn .

I thought things would get better over time , but its been three years , and you havent moved on at all .

In fact , its worse .

Hayden furrowed his brow , irritated , and turned to face Nevin .

Chapter 198 Nevin instinctively lowered his gaze , too afraid to meet Haydens intense stare .

Then he noticed the small teddy bear in Haydens hand and exclaimed , Where did you get that teddy bear ? Dont tell me your mom gave it to you ? Recently , Layla had been buying a lot of things for Hayden .

Nevin immediately realized something was off .

Wait , no , your mom buys all kinds of weird stuff .

This bear is way be from her Found it , Hayden replied , his gaze softening as he looked at the bear in his hand ..

Nevin caught the subtle change in Haydens expression and blinked in confusion .

Then , with a knowing smile , he teased , Found it ? Who gave it to you ? Its too cute .

I bet it was a woman , right ? Hayden was about to respond when his sharp glare silenced Nevin .

Have you heard anything from Ethan ? Hayden asked coldly , effectively ending the conversation .

too cute to
