Chapter 353

Lily quickly pulled her hand back and stopped in her tracks. "Lily, don't be mad." Hayden immediately stopped and offered an apologetic explanation. "I know I was wrong to go ahead without telling you. "I got into another argument with them the other day and accidentally let it slip that you're divorced. They're truly worried about you. They wanted to use your birthday as an excuse to see you, smooth things over, and convince you to move back home…" The real problem wasn't that Hayden acted without consent. It was his naivety in believing Bobby's and Hazel's intentions. They claimed that they wanted to smooth things over and convince her to move back home. This definitely wasn't some sudden awakening of familial love from Bobby. "Lily, trust me! I'll leave with you if they bring up anything else!" Hayden declared earnestly. Lily didn't have the heart to crush his innocence and kindness. "Fine." She followed him inside, and a waiter led them to a private room on the third floor.
