Chapter 20

Author: Nameless
One day, just as Melissa was getting ready to meet Andrew for a bike ride, she ran into two uninvited guests—Hayden and Lydia.

She couldn't help letting out a heavy sigh.

Hayden was impeccably dressed in the suit Melissa had once said suited him best. In his hands was a bouquet of roses.

Yet seeing him like this again, Melissa felt nothing at all. Not a single trace of love remained.

In contrast, Lydia, dressed in coarse linen clothes and covered in wounds, looked utterly miserable.

    Once Hayden had recovered sufficiently from his injuries, his family brought him back to Cavareth.Given his compromised physical and mental health, the position of heir to the Davies family was passed to his cousin.In just a few short months, the once-renowned elite heir was reduced to a powerless, discarded outcast of high society.The upper crust of Jindale whispered endlessly about his downfall, spinning countless rumors about what had transpired.However, Hayden no longer cared about any of it.He returned home to recuperate, spending his days surrounded only by memories in his quiet villa.Whenever he woke in the dead of night, his eyes would be damp with tears.He sold off all the jewelry Melissa had left behind and donated every single penny to children in impoverished mountain regions.He returned to the fishing village where he had once nearly drowned. Using his remaining funds, he helped rebuild the local community.Seeing him reduced to this, Rowan couldn't bear i

    The squelch of the blade sinking into flesh echoed through the air, yet the pain Melissa braced for never came.Instead, she felt herself wrapped in a broad chest.It was Hayden, shielding her from behind and taking the full force of the knife.She spun around in panic. Lydia had struck with terrifying force, and dark crimson blood immediately surged across Hayden's white shirt.He opened his mouth as if to say something, but the sheer intensity of the agony twisted his face in pain.Lydia didn't stop. Eyes gleaming with madness, she plunged the blade into him repeatedly, shrieking, "Hayden, Melissa, I hate you both! Go to hell!"Hayden held firm, shielding Melissa with his body. As more and more wounds tore through him, he collapsed into a pool of blood.Andrew sprinted over with everything he had and landed a heavy kick that sent Lydia flying onto the ground.Only then did Lydia snap out of her frenzy. As she stared at her blood-soaked hands and Hayden lying motionless on the

In his hands was a bouquet of roses.Yet seeing him like this again, Melissa felt nothing at all. Not a single trace of love remained.In contrast, Lydia, dressed in coarse linen clothes and covered in wounds, looked utterly miserable.Frowning, Melissa asked in a cold voice, "Why are you two here? I told you we should never see each other again."She truly never wanted to set eyes on these two again. Having finally started a new life, she didn't want anyone ruining it.At the sight of Melissa's cold, irritated expression, a pang of sharp pain pierced Hayden's chest.He offered the flowers to her and said in the same gentle tone he used to use, "Melissa, you must have cooled off by now, right? I missed you so much. I know I was wr

    Andrew guided Melissa to sit on the couch and said with a smile, "You can catch up with Mel while I go cook."Feeling awkward just sitting around, Melissa tried to get up to help.However, Andrew immediately placed Mel right on her lap, effectively trapping her in place."It's fine. There's no need to be so polite with me. Just sit back and let me show off my skills today."Holding Mel in her lap, Melissa stroked its soft fur while feeding it a cat treat.Mel looked thoroughly content, purring softly in her lap.Over the years under Andrew's care, Mel had grown quite plump, making it surprisingly heavy for her to hold.Before long, a mouthwatering aroma drifted out from the kitchen.Andrew walked out holding plates of honey-glazed ribs and potato salad. On the table sat a bowl of chicken soup and roasted vegetables. It was a feast for both the eyes and the stomach.Melissa felt her mouth watering instantly.During her years living as a wealthy socialite in the Davies family,

    Before Melissa knew it, two months had slipped by since she joined the research institute.These days, she walked to work with Andrew every morning, and in the late afternoons, they would lie on the grassy lawn together, chatting as they watched the sunset.As time passed, her heart gradually found peace, and she became the gentle, beautiful Melissa she once was.Lying on the grass, she looked over at Andrew and said from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you, Andrew."He offered a gentle smile. "We've known each other for years. You don't have to be so polite with me."Melissa smiled back softly. "I still remember my freshman year when I first arrived on campus. You were lying right on the grass, reading a book."Andrew's thoughts drifted back to that moment, and a subtle smile tugged at the corners of his lips.What Melissa didn't know was that he had fallen in love with her at first sight back then.He had been reading under the tree when the light suddenly got blocked out.

    Hayden had no idea what was going on, but he rushed back to the Davies residence as fast as he could.The moment he saw Lydia standing beside Rowan, it clicked. This woman was playing games again.He frowned at once. Hadn't he already sent her off to Azeloria? How was she standing here now?Having disappeared for a month, Lydia was reduced to skin and bones.Her once radiant, striking face was now sallow and pale, covered in dark bruises. Her eyes darted around in erratic fear, and she looked mentally unstable.Clutching her stomach, she muttered, "My baby… This is Hayden's and my baby."Rowan glared fiercely at Hayden. "You tortured her into this state, and now she brings your child straight to my doorstep. Clean up your own mess."With that, he turned and walked away in a huff.Over the past few days, Hayden's actions had pushed him past his limit, leading him to seriously consider passing the family legacy to someone else.The Davies family owned a sprawling business empire
