Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 50 Hayden had always been the stoic type , someone who never really paid any attention to Nevins antics , let alone actually hit him .

But now , was he really going to lay hands on his own brother ? I was right there , witnessing it all unfold , and I could hardly believe my eyes .

It was as if Hayden had transformed into a different person .

Nevins eyes were wide with shock , almost trembling as he cupped his face , staring incredulously at Hayden .

His eyes were red rimmed , Bro , you you hit me Throughout their lives , Hayden had never laid a finger on him .

So what was it that triggered this today ? The lingering burn on Nevins cheek was a painful reminder that the slap had definitely happened .

Apologize to Yvonne Haydens scy gaze was fixed on Nevin , his eyes as cold and sharp as a winters frost , making the air around them feel tense I instinctively glanced at Hayden .

Did he hit Nevin for me ? No way , right ? Maybe he was just worried about Nevin getting into trouble .

Assault and defamation ? Nevin would be lucky to avoid prison ! As Nevin ground his teeth together , he swallowed hard , refusing to speak .

He glared at me , his eyes filled with an intensity that felt hostile , like I was some kind of enemy Hurry up Hayden urged , his tone leaving no room for argument .

Finally , Nevin spat out a few words , Im sorry It hit me then this rowdy Nevin could actually apologize when he wanted to In that moment of distraction , Stanley asked me , If you dont accept the apology , you can still take legal action .

Just like that , the ball was in my COLT Haydens gaze shifted to me , assessing .

I ignored him and replied blandly , Forget it , lets just handle Jamies situation first .

With Nevin having apologized , my insistence would do no real damage .

Plus , Xander was still around , I couldnt disregard the Parker familys reputation entirely .

Stanley nodded .

Ill start the official process .

Everyone can head home tonight Once we left the police station .

Hayden pulled Stanley aside to talk .

Jamir and I waited off to the side .

Nevin was standing there , still protecting his face , glaring at me with venom in his eyes Probably embarrassed over having to apologize in front of everyone ! He looked genuinely hurt .

I chose to ignore him , but Jamie couldnt hold back .

What are you glaring at ? You not done getting beaten yet ? Was I glaring at you ! If someone hadnt intervened just now , I wouldve taken you out ! Nevin harked back , showing his teeth in defiance .

Hayden caught wind of the commotion and shat a cold glance in their direction .

Nevin immediately shrank back like a mouse in front of a cat , lowering his head in submission .

Clearly , he was scared of Hayden I pulled Jamie aside and whispered , Dont stoop to his level .

Right now , the situation is in your favor .

Lets see what Stanley has to say Okay Jamie nodded but then seemed to recall something and asked , You … should we go check on you at the hospital ? I remember the crash sounded pretty bad Its fine , it wasnt serious I had felt a bit of pain back then, but it was long gone now .

Plus , I always felt a bit resistant about hospitals ; I didnt want to deal with that hassle .

Before long , Stanley finished chanting with Hayden and walked over with his briefcase in hand .

Lets go .

Ill drive you guys home .

I was about to turn and follow when Hayden called out .

Yvonne , come home with me Lfroze for a moment , I didnt expect him to call me now .

Bro , why are you still bringing her along ! Shes helping outsiders .

Nevin grumbled quietly , clearly annoyed Hayden ignored him , his cold gaza still fixed on me .

Dont forget youre still Mrs.

Parker : Ka dyen Reading 1 helplessly rubbed my forehead .

I had cared abou not going with him .

Stanley would definitely back me up , and that might lead to more conflict After a long day , I felt exhausted .

I looked at Stanley and said , Hey , you and Jamie should go on ahead .

Ill catch up with you tomorrow .

Stanley hesitated , glancing at me , but in the end , he nodded and left with Jamic .

Nevin and I got into Haydens car .

I sat in the passenger seat , staring out at the pitch black sky , reflecting on how intense todays trip to the police station had been ….

Nevin , in the back seat , looked totally unhappy .

Bro , just drop me off anywhere .

Im free now anyway , and tagging along with you might get me in trouble ! Im taking you back to the Parker residence .

Hayden replied in a low voice , his tone leaving no room for negotiation .

Nevin choked on his words and started to plead , I dont want to go back .

Grandpa will kill met Laur time , he made me go pick watercress , and I almost drowned It was better he didnt bring that up .

But as soon as he did , Hayden pressed , Youre a decent swimmer .

How could you nearly drown ? What exactly happened that day ? Hayden only found out about it after asking the household staff , but no one seemed to know the details at that time .

Nevin instinctively fell silent .

I listened quietly , not wanting to interrupt Hayden then turned to me .

What do you say ? Not much to tell , really .

Nevin rocked my little boat and scared me into the water .

He only pulled me out when I looked like I was about to drown .

I said coldly .

Since Hayden wanted to know , I figured it was best to lay it all our I had already burned my bridges with them , so there was no point in pretending anymore .

Nevin quickly jumped in .

But I fell into the pool afterward and almost died roof How did you get out ? Hayden asked again .

She saved me , Nevin almost whispered by the end , his voice almost inaudible .

Even he felt embarrassed .

He had meant to prank me but ended up needing my help .

I could feel Haydens gaze on me , intense and deep , after hearing that .

After that , he didnt say a word , just drove in silence .

Once we arrived at the Parker residence , Hayden recounted the incidents of the watercress picking and everything that had happened today to Xander .

Nevin stood next to me , visibly shivering and pale , Xander finally lost it , grabbing something from the table and throwing it at Nevin .

You idiot ! Is this how you treat your sister in law ? Yvonne has always helped you , and you still pull this kind of stunt ! What exactly is your problem with her ? I thought to myself , he could have a long list of grievances against me ! But Nevin muttered in response , I just dont like her ! She stole my brother ! I stood there , stunned .

I stole Hayden ? Had he lost his mind ! If anyone should be complaining , it should be me about Joanna .
