Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Hailey hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.

Owen raised his hand and touched her face.

His fingers were cold, as if there was no warmth. It made one’s heart flutter.

There was something unfathomable in Owen’s eyes, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking about.

His gaze slowly locked onto Hailey. Hailey had a feeling of being preyed on.

And she was the prey.

“Sorry. I mistook you for someone else.” The expression in Owen’s eyes faded away abruptly, and he became elegant and polite.

He took a step back and said with a gentle expression, “My name is Owen Calhoun.”

“I know,” Hailey subconsciously replied.

“You know?” asked Owen, raising his eyebrows slightly.

“Yes. I’ve seen you on TV,” Hailey explained.

“Oh,” Owen said. “Your name is...”

“My name is Hailey Henderson.”

“Hailey, nice to meet you.” Owen was naturally sociable and familiar.

Hailey was slightly stunned. ‘He calls me Hailey, and I feel so familiar...‘ thought Hailey.

“Are you feeling unwell? Why did you come to see a psychiatrist?” Owen naturally changed the topic.

“Nothing. It’s just a minor problem,” said Hailey, smiling.

The elevator dinged as it reached the first floor.

Hailey immediately got out of the elevator. “Well, I’ll get going. Bye.”

“Miss Henderson, let me send you off.” Owen smiled. His big eyes were gentle and charming. It was as if an iceberg had been melted, making him come to life completely, exuding an extraordinary warmth.

Hailey was a little flattered. “No, thanks.”

‘Isn’t Owen too enthusiastic when we meet for the first time? But he seems to have good intentions. How c misunderstand him?‘

thought Hailey.

“It’s okay. I don’t have anything to do now,” said Owen.

LI At that point, it would seem too pretentious to refuse. Hailey could only say, “Thank you. I’m going to the Rosemoor Estate.”

Owen opened the car door for her like a gentleman.

The chauffeur wasn’t there, and neither was the assistant. Owen opened the passenger door for Hailey, and he drove.

As soon as she got into the car, Owen leaned toward her.

Hailey was shocked. Her heart was pounding as she stared at Owen with her big eyes. “What are you doing?”

10:49 Mon, 7 Apr Chapter 145 498%0 Owen’s expression was cold as usual. His slender fingers gently pulled the seatbelt over. “You didn’t fasten your seat be Hailey’s face instantly turned red. She wished she could find a cellar and hide in it.

What on earth am I thinking?‘ thought Hailey.

“Th... thank you,” she stammered.

Owen’s lips curled into a smile. Then, he looked straight ahead and stepped on the accelerator.

Hailey felt so restless during the ride that she couldn’t sit still.

She couldn’t help but want to peek at Owen beside her but was afraid of being discovered.

Coupled with some odd thoughts in her head, she felt so ashamed and embarrassed that the wished there was a hole to crawl into.

Fortunately, Owen seemed to know that she was embarrassed and did not say much along the way.

The car drove for about forty minutes before stopping.

Only then did Hailey look outside.

It was not the Rosemoor Estate but a private villa.

The place was a little remote but quiet.

“This is...”

Owen tilted his head and looked at her. His expression was gentle as he said politely, “This is my house. Sorry. I need to pick up a document, so I have to come over.”

“It’s okay.”

Owen smiled at her and got out of the car. He walked to the side and opened the door for her.

Hailey wanted to say she would wait for him in the car, but it seemed impolite. Therefore, she had no choice but to get out of the car.

“Come in and sit for a while. I might need to look for it,” Owen explained gently.

“Okay,” said Hailey, following Owen into the villa.

Hailey suddenly realized she was not guarded against Owen at all after entering the villa.

The villa had two floors and was decorated simply in black and white. It gave off a gloomy and oppressiv ing.

The curtains in the living room were not drawn, blocking the sunlight outside. It was uncomfortable.

Owen said, “Feel free to walk around. I’ll go to the study. You can use anything here.”

Hailey smiled and nodded. After seeing Owen go upstairs, she held her chest and panted softly.

She was a little flustered.

Upon seeing the scene, she felt as if a boulder had lodged in her heart. It was uncomfortable.

Hailey couldn’t help but walk to the floor–to–ceiling window and pull the curtains aside to let the sunlight in.

Chapter 145 About two minutes later, the sound of something being broken suddenly came from upstairs.

Hailey turned and walked to the stairs. She called out, “Owen.”

There was no response from upstairs.

She was a little worried as she shouted and went upstairs.

There were many rooms on the second floor, and she did not know which one was the study. However, it did not seem good to open the door rashly.

Fortunately, she took a look. The door to the second room on the left was open. It should be the room.

She walked to the door and was about to push it open when a slender and beautiful hand suddenly reached out from inside. It grabbed her wrist and pulled her in.

Hailey lost her balance and fell heavily into a cold embrace.

It was dark inside. There were no lights on or curtains drawn. She couldn’t see anything for a moment.

She only knew there was a man before her. They were so close that she could smell his fragrant perfume.

It was Owen.

She panicked and wanted to call him, but her lips were suddenly blocked.

She struggled desperately, but it was useless.

Owen’s breathing was heavy. He grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the door. He held her head with one hand, and Hailey could not move. She could only be forced to accept his kiss.

The kiss was exceptionally passionate.

Owen kissed her skillfully. It was not erotic, but it made her heart race.

He hooked her tongue back and forth. Whenever she dodged, he would chase after her. That repeated over and over again.

Hailey’s entire body went limp and collapsed in his arms.

However, Owen did not let her go because of that. He attacked even more fiercely and let go of Hailey’s wrist. He pressed her waist close to him with one hand and spread Hailey’s legs with one leg. With a gentle force, he picked her up.

Hailey’s heart hung in the air without her feet touching the ground. Her confused mind was slightly awake. She growled, “Put me down!”

Owen ignored her. He carried her and turned around, pressing her onto the soft bed behind him.

Hailey panicked even more. ‘No, I can not let things develop like this,‘ thought Hailey.

Hailey took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried her best to ignore the feelings that Owen brought her. Then, she recited sentences about morality loudly.

Owen stopped what he was doing and burst out laughing.

He got up, walked to the side, and turned on the light with a snap.

The light was too bright. Hailey narrowed her eyes and sat up.

Owen’s collar was unbuttoned, revealing his chest muscles. He looked exceptionally sexy.
