Chapter 276

“No, I don’t want to!” Jeremy yelled, his resistance fiercer than ever before.

“Let Jeremy come in,” Stacey said with a touch of amusement in her voice.

The room outside fell silent, and a moment later, the door creaked open. Jeremy, his eyes shining with determination, tried to rush toward Stacey like a rocket. However, after just one step, Hayden swiftly intervened, grabbing him by the collar. Jeremy shouted angrily, “Bad–Daddy! Liar!”

Hayden carried Jeremy over to Stacey. “Tonight is supposed to be the most romantic night for Becky and me, and it is been ruined by this little troublemaker,‘ Hayden thought to himself. He set Jeremy down, sighed deeply, and then cast an apologetic glance at Stacey, who was wearing her elegant bridal veil. He apologized, “I am really sorry. I should have kept a better eye on Jeremy.”

“Mommy, from today, you are my real mommy!” Jeremy exclaimed happily as he leaped into Stacey’s arms.

Stacey, her eyes twinkling with amusement, ruffled Jeremy’s hair. “Yes, from now on, I am your mom, and you are my little one,” she replied warmly.

“Yeah, I am so happy!” Jeremy looked up at the white veil covering Stacey’s face with a mix of curiosity and puzzlement. He reached out to lift it, intrigued by the unfamiliar fabric. But before he could touch it, Hayden swooped in and picked him up again. This time, Hayden carried Jeremy out of the room with a firm but gentle grip.

Jeremy squirmed and flailed his arms, his protest growing louder, but it was no use. Hayden took him straight to Audrey. He looked at Audrey and asked, “Mom, could you please help me look after Jeremy tonight?”

Audrey quickly agreed and took Jeremy into her arms. Jeremy, still upset, turned his back on Hayden in defiance. Hayden was silent for a moment, then explained, “Tonight is special. If I am not with Ms. Becky, she will be very sad.”

Jeremy, still fuming, retorted, “I can also stay with Ms. Beck- No, I mean, Mommy!” He quickly corrected himself mid–sentence, realizing that Hayden had tricked hind into calling her Ms. Becky. Jeremy’s eyes flashed with a mix of anger and hurt as he looked up at Hayden. “It is all your fault!” If it were not for Hayden, he would not have said “Ms. Becky“.

Hayden realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself, “Yes, your mom, my wife. But Jeremy, tonight is a very special day, it is my wedding day with your mom. If I am not with her, it would be very disrespectful. You wouldn’t want that, would you?”

Jeremy was confused, not fully understanding, and looked at Hayden suspiciously. “Are you tricking me?”

Hayden promised earnestly, “If I am lying to you, I may be a fool!”

Jeremy fell silent, his anger gradually subsiding as he began to understand the situation. Hayden, relieved to see Jeremy calming down, hurried upstairs. Downstairs, Audrey held the disappointed Jeremy close and offered a comforting smile. She could not help but explain on Hayden’s behalf, “Jeremy, your dad isn’t lying to you this time. If you don’t believe me, we can check online to see if it is true.”

Jeremy’s eyes brightened at the suggestion. “I want to check

Audrey chuckled softly and said, “Alright, I will look it up for you right now.”

While Audrey worked to calm Jeremy with the reassurance of a quick online search, Hayden finally returned to the

That night unfolded with a sense of romance and intimacy. After their wedding, they embarked on a blissful honeymoon Hayden left all the responsibilities at Hoggard Technologies to Jack and took Stacey on a trip. They traveled and took many beautiful, memorable photos.

While they were enjoying their happiness, Carly and the others took a helicopter back to Hivalis to resume their normal lives. Carly did not want to keep living with Isabella and Adrian, but buying a house in Hivalis was too expensive and she could not afford it. After much consideration, she finally rented an apartment near Carter’s Jewel The reason she chose to be near Carter’s Jewel was that during her last divorce, Adrian had told her she could study jewelry design there. This was a rare opportunity, and Carly knew she needed it. So, she accepted the Carter family’s kindness without hesitation.

Recently divorced, she needed a stable job. Although her artwork could earn money, commissions were not always reliable. She needed a stable future to ensure a good life for herself and Ronald. Ronald was now in school, so while he was at kindergarten during the day, she could work. Once everything was settled, Carly adjusted her mindset and officially started working at Carter’s Jewel.

Initially, she was anxious, but once she got there, she realized she had nothing to worry about. The Carter family did not give her a hard time. On the contrary, Becky sent her a lot of study materials on jewelry design to help her learn. Life seemed to be getting better and better without her realizing it.

However, this happiness was shattered a month later. On a rainy day, after finishing work at Carter’s Jewel, she rode her electric scooter back to her apartment. At first, she did not notice that she was being followed. It was not until she arrived at the residential area, parked her electric scooter, and happened to glance over that she noticed a familiar man on a nearby woman’s motorcycle. It was Connor!
