In the sapphire Porsche, Debbie wasn't able to contact anyone because her
phone died. She hadn't had a chance to charge it, and 12 hours was a long flight.
Yet, she didn’t want to talk to Hayden either. The only thing she could do was
lean toward the window and look out of it, watching the world go by.
Hayden had been talking about work with his assistant the whole way. He hadn't
intended to interrupt Debbie either. He respected her space, and sometimes it
was just enough for him to catch a glimpse of her. They were downtown before
he finally took the initiative to talk to her. But this time, he had a pretty important
question to ask.
“Where's your house?”
Debbie hesitated at the question. “Should I go back to the manor?
Carlos and Megan are probably there already.’ Not in the mood to see
Megan, she replied, “Please drive me to Esastin Villa.”
Hayden raised his eyebrows.
“Oh, what a coincidence! I have a house there too he said to Debbie. He turned
to his assistant.
“Alfred,
I'll stay in Esastin Villa tonight. Have someone ready the house for me,” he
instructed.
“Yes, Hayden.”
Debbie's breath caught in her throat. If she had known he had a house there too,
she wouldn't have rattled off that destination.
Even so, they remained silent again all the way to Esastin Villa. She didn't feel
much like talking, and she was hoping Carlos wouldn't figure out where she was
right now, or that she'd caught a ride with
Hayden.
A few moments later, the Porsche pulled up in front of Debbie’s previous villa.
Hayden personally helped her remove her Luggage from the trunk.
Debbie reached out her hands for the Luggage while saying, “Thank you for the
ride, Hayden. Goodbye!”
Instead of handing the Luggage to her, Hayden suggested, “I figured out what
you could do to repay me for the ticket. You used to make the most wonderful
egg tarts. I haven't had any in a long time. How about you make some for me
now? Then we go our separate ways, and you owe me nothing. What do you
think?”
Frankly, this was rather a far-fetched excuse. He knew it, and so did
Debbie. It was just an excuse to spend more time with her. And she didn’t want to
do that. She wanted to talk to her friends, and be alone with her thoughts.
Hayden was a constant-and dangerous—distraction.

Of course Debbie turned him down
and refused bluntly, “If I recall
correctly, you don't Like egg tarts, do
you? On top of that, I don't know how
to make egg tarts. I think I'd better
buy you a meal some other time.”

The truth was, she could make egg
tarts if all the ingredients were
ready-made. There were pre-made
egg custard, pastries and tart tins
sold in the supermarket. She just
needed to fill the tart tins with the
egg custard and put them into an
oven to bake for a while. But she
didn't feel Like doing that now. She
didn't have the energy to do much at
all. The content is on

Back when she and Hayden were
dating, she had once made egg tarts
for him. But he'd just looked at the
egg tarts with contempt in his eyes
without taking a bite. The content is

“Deb, I didn't cherish what we had. I've been regretting ever since.
Please, I'm not asking much now. And we're already at the door of your house.
Don't refuse me, please?” Hayden stared at her expectantly
Debbie pulled a long face, annoyed.
