NovelApp"I did! | said you are worried sick," Mike huffed. "Even if he doesn't go to you tonight, he will probably see you within the next couple of days. Don't be too worried. At the very least, he is safe for now." Mike's answer had eased Avery's mind slightly, but she still had to head out since she had promised Elliot that she would look for Hayden with him.
"lI am going to De Ligt Hotel right now. | am driving there, so wait right here," she said to the bodyguard. "Mike said he told Hayden where we are staying. If Hayden comes to look for me, call me right away." "Alright. Meeting with Elliot should be safe, I'm just worried that you two would get caught by Gary Gould." "If that's possible, Elliot wouldn't have called me to begin with." She started driving towards De Ligt Hotel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbout twenty minutes after she left, Hayden appeared before the bodyguard.
Hayden was not wearing his signature baseball hat or black backpack. He just stepped into the hotel Avery was staying in. He was alone.
He was slim and exceptionally tall, so the bodyguard recognized him right away.
The bodyguard strode toward him and grabbed Hayden by the arm.
"Hayden! Your mom has been looking for you the entire day. She is worried sick!" The bodyguard studied the face that resembled Elliot's and sighed a breath of relief. "It's a good thing that you are okay." "Where is my mom?" Hayden came after receiving the encrypted message Mike sent him.
"Your mom went to find Elliot because he is looking for you as well." The bodyguard dragged him over to the lobby couch to sit down. "Sit here and wait while | call your mom. By the way, why did you come here all alone, anyway? It's dangerous here, so your mom is probably going to ask you to go home tonight. You don't know this, but she was kidnapped a few days back and almost got killed..." Hayden immediately grabbed onto the bodyguard's arm when he heard the word *' kidnapped'.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't call my mom right now," he said seriously. "What do you mean 'kidnapped'?" "Ahem, it's a long story..." "Make it short." "On Ruby Gould's birthday, your parents were getting intimate on the yacht ;g!>WKR > were discovered by the Goulds. That night, Christopher Gould kidnapped your mom," the bodyguard described the event in the simplest way he could. "He tried to force himself on your mom. It was his way of getting revenge for his sister." Hayden instantly oozed malice when he heard the explanation.
Seeing that he was enraged, the bodyguard said, "Don't get angry just yet. Your mom is fine. She was smart enough to lie. Of course, everything was settled peacefully that day thanks to Elliot's help as well." "Christopher Gould, right?" Hayden memorized the name.
"Yeah! Gary Gould's only son," the bodyguard said mockingly. "He is incapable of greatness so Gary is trying to keep your father here in Ylore to work for the Goulds.” "That b*st*rd! How dare he bully my mom? " Hayden clenched his fists. "I'm going to teach him a lesson." "How? This is the Goulds' territory. Not even Elliot dares to go against them in the open. What can a kid like you do? Besides, your mom is definitely going to send you back to Aryadelle tonight-" "Don’t call my mom!" Hayden did not respond to his teasing and said, "I'll be leaving now. Tell my mom that | am safe, and tell her not to come looking for me. | will find her once I'm done with what I need to do." "Hey! What is it that you need to do? Where are you staying right now? | can’t let you go, or your mom is going to..." The bodyguard caught up to him, and Hayden glared at the hand on his arm, before saying, "Do you want me to hack into your phone?" The bodyguard immediately released Hayden, knowing very well that he could not afford to cross this child.
Once Hayden left, the bodyguard immediately called Avery. "Hayden showed up just now and left again! He said he is going to teach Christopher a lesson! | wanted to stop him but | couldn't." Chills ran down Avery's spine. "How are you supposed to protect me if you can't even stop a child?!" "Do you not know the kind of person your son is? He is a little demon!" groaned the bodyguard.
