Chapter 104
The Forgotten Luna
Chapter 104 Hailey lowered her eyes and silently moved aside. Then, Owen expressionlessly brushed past Hailey, âLetâs go,â Hailey said to Raphael. When they moved, Owenâs cold voice came from behind. âWhy werenât you frank with me that you have a new lover?â It was a sarcasm.
Hailey was slightly shocked. She looked back and saw one side of Owenâs sullen face. âI...â She attempted to correct Owen, but her words died on her lips.
She felt it unnecessary to explain or argue with Owen. Given their current situation, it was better for her to cut ties with him as quickly as possible.
It was impossible for them to get back together. Only the insiders knew whether that car incident had resulted from a brake failure.
Hailey then said coldly, âBelieve what you want.â Owen pursed his lips tightly, and his expression turned grim.
He was expecting an explanation from Hailey. To his disappointment, Hailey didnât defend herself.
Frustrated, Owen walked into the house. He had come at the news that Hailey was home, and he would like to take her to meet Henry.
His enthusiasm became ridiculous at that moment because Hailey had found herself a new lover.
Stubborn, Hailey and Owen walked away in different directions. Hailey quickened her pace without looking back.
At the door, Owen couldnât help but stop, look back, and saw the back of the slender Hailey.
âBoss,â Richard following behind Owen called. âShould we chase after her?â
Owen shot one cold glance at Richard. âDo you think that I canât live without her?â He would keep his love to himself since Hailey didnât cherish it.
âDoes she really think that she is my only choice? I am popular among women,â Owen thought.
With a sneer, Owen walked into Thomasâs house. With his head down and his mouth shut, Richard followed his boss into the house.
Deep down, he had one question for his boss. âWhy are you here to meet Mr. Dalton if you no longer care about Miss Dalton as you said?â he wondered.
Never would Owen admit that he was here to play up to Thomas. If Richard asked that question, Owen would say that he missed Thomas who had watched him grow up.
That was Owen. âIt seems you like that man very much,â Raphael commented as he followed behind Hailey.
Hailey said coldly, âI did, but he has nothing to do with me now.â Hearing this, Raphael asked with a smile, âWhat if he pesters you?â
âHe wonât,â Hailey said firmly. âAs the head of a big company, he has his pride.â In other words, she and Owen would move on respectively.
Raphael changed the topic. âIâm sorry.â Hailey instantly got the hint.
Before she voiced her displeasure, Raphael made an apology. Raphael explained, âI shouldnât have put my hand around your shoulders.â

This was her second meeting with Raphael, and he had deliberately let Owen misunderstand their relationship with an intimate act...
âI donât like that man,â Raphael explained. Hailey frowned at this answer and dropped the topic.
âYour grudges with him have nothing to do with me if there are any between you two, Just donât use me again. She hated being used.
Raphael lowered his head, raised his hand, and hid his smile behind his palm. After a nod, he made another apology.
Hailey walked on without a response to Raphaelâs second apology. Soon, she hailed a taxi and got into the car with Raphael Raphael escorted Hailey to her destination and then headed to Riverside Estate. He knew the advantage of living near the woman he liked.
It was Haileyâs first visit to the Dalton Entertainment. In the past, Hailey left the followâup work to her colleagues after she persuaded her targets to enter into partnerships.
A team had been built for her project, The Moon in My heart, but it wasnât as professional as Aidenâs because of some reasons.
Anna Collins, whom Thomas had arranged to be Haileyâs assistant, waited at the entrance of the company. When Hailey was absent from the company, Anna was in charge of the team.
Anna was a pretty elite. She wore a white suite and had delicate makeup on her face.
âMiss Hailey,â Anna greeted Hailey with a smile. âIâm Anna Collins. Iâll work as your assistant in the coming days.â
After a nod, Hailey glanced at Anna and asked, âWhereâs Mr. Lester?â
âHe is waiting for you in the lounge.â Speaking, Anna led Hailey to the lounge. In the elevator, Hailey bumped into Aiden.
Aiden in a suit had an enchanting woman by his side. âHailey, why did you come today?â he asked with a smile.
âDad,â Hailey greeted Aiden with a smile. âI came to see the process of my project. Where are you going?â
âA new company will be built for a start, and we are on the way to see the building for it,â Aiden explained.
Hailey glanced at the woman beside Aiden. That woman seemed to be in her early twenties, had delicate features, and looked meek.
That new face had its distinctive charm in showbiz full of pretty women, so its owner might become popular with the right marketing strategy.
Aiden did have good taste in women. Now that Selena was abroad, Rose wouldnât be satisfied with her current situation. After years of marriage, she must get the goods on Aiden, and that was why he didnât divorce her after Selenaâs departure. âThis is the starlet you are talking about, right?â Hailey asked Aiden while smiling at the stranger.
With a good grace, the stranger nodded and smiled at Hailey. âNice to meet you, Miss Dalton. My name is Mattie Mason. You may call me Mattie.â
With a faint smile, Hailey said, âNice to meet you, Ms. Mason.â She didnât call Mattie by the name as suggested âAiden, I like Miss Dalton. She and I are about the same age, so may I friend her on WhatsApp?â Mattie asked sweetly.

Even so, he didnât decide for Hailey. The reason was that he dreaded her
