บท 316: Desire for Peace

“You’re here again?” Hayden asked lazily when he walked in through the door.

“What’s up with that reaction? I’m about to marry your brother and this is how you treat me?” Amelia asked with a look of disbelief on her face.

“You’re not married to him yet. Stop turning up to our house so often…” Hayden muttered.

“Don’t talk like you come back here so often…” Amelia snapped lightly at him.

“Good night…” Hayden mumbled as he walked right past her.

“Wait! Hayden…” Amelia quickly called after him.

“What?” Hayden asked without turning around.

“Can we…talk?” she asked in a small voice.

“Alone…with you? No, thank you. I don’t want my brother blowing my head off…” Hayden replied without hesitation.

“What’s up with that reaction? What do you see me as?” Amelia snapped as she came to stand right in front of Hayden.

“Someone who asked me to sleep with her the first time that we met?” he replied with ease.
