Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Fight It Out with Him “Who are you texting? Your smile is creepy.” Matthew curiously reached out to snatch the phone. Quick in reaction, Owen locked the screen and put his phone away. He glanced at the man coldly and said, “Manners.” Matthew cocked his brows. “Hailey has removed you from the blacklist? You add her on WhatsApp again?”

Owen pursed his lips and replied, “None of your business.” “You smiled like a nympho just now, and that’s a sign of love.” Matthew folded his arms on his chest and looked at Owen, “Given your situation, don’t think you’ll date another woman. Man, you’re miserable. Having an ex-wife like Hailey. you can’t possibly fall in love again.” He put his hand on his forehead and mused, “What is that phrase? Oh right, no other waters could impress me for I’ve seen the vast seas.” Owen had enough of his nonsense and threw the car keys to him. “See yourself out.”

“Thanks, bro, I’m wait for you at home.” Matthew caught the keys, happily waved his hand, and left.

This man was cheap. “No other waters could impress me for I’ve seen the vast seas.’ Owen gave a bitter smile. That was true.

Jose knocked on the door, came in, and reported, “Mr. Moore, there is news from Poya. Father of Newman has signed the contract.” “Good.” Owen’s eyes lit up, “Get things ready. I’ll pick him up in person.” “Uh…” Jose added, “Ms. Newman has entrusted a person to escort the old man.

There are ten bodyguards, and they’ll take a private jet. According to them, we just need to receive him.” Owen stiffened and sat back down. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he said slowly, “Okay.” Was she so reluctant to see him?

Hailey went to the hospital and handled the discharge procedures for her grandfather. She took Jason back to the Garden of Rose and helped pack his things.

Holding a cigar, Jason cozily sat on the mahogany sofa. Hailey and Ava were packing the luggage for him. He felt blessed to have such sweet granddaughters. He had raised three sons, but none of them were helpful. They were not even as considerate as his granddaughters. “Grandpa, do you still want the old T-shirts?” Ava picked up two crumpled shirts. Jason blurted out, “Of course.” “They’ve crumpled up and should be thrown away.” Hailey folded several newly washed shirts and put them in the suitcase. Old people tended to be conservative. He had been used to wearing such clothes for decades. Old habits die hard. They had to respect his opinion. Jason said anxiously, “No, don’t throw them away. There are no holes or splits. They reasoned with their grandpa but failed to persuade him.

For fear of upsetting him, Hailey gave in and told Ava to put those old clothes in the suitcase too. While they were packing. Eve slowly came out of her room and called out softly “Grandpa.” “Eve, come here.” Jason beckoned to her. Eve looked up at Hailey who remained silent. Pursing her lips, she then went over. Jason let her sit down on the sofa and asked graciously.

“How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?” He was the first person who asked about her condition after the event. Eve felt a tingling sensation in her nose, and her eyes reddened. She shook her head and sobbed, “It no longer hurts.” Hailey and Ava looked over, but neither of them said anything. In their view, Eve had herself to blame. That man cheated on her even when they were dating. It was natural for him to have love affairs after they were married.

Eve naïvely thought that everything would be fine as long as she stayed as Mrs.

Edwards. She didn’t know that when a man’s heart was not in it, the position would not be reserved for her. The pathetic always acted insufferably somehow. Eve hadn’t been seriously wounded. She was pregnant after all. The Edwards family had just locked her up and humiliated her. They hadn’t really meant to harm her. Only Eve knew how badly she had been hurt mentally. Hailey knew that Eve was unwilling to stay at the Garden of Rose. She didn’t want to see Eve’s face either. They had fallen out and could not bury the old hatchet. She was not that generous to forgive her cousin.

She contacted Morgan’s first wife and Eve’s mother, Lisa Baker. That woman had settled abroad long ago. After hearing those things about Morgan and Eve, Lisa sighed and promised, “I’ll go back next month and take Eve away with me. Anyway, let her give birth to the baby first.” Eve had been closer to her father since her childhood. To her greatest surprise, when she was in the darkest moment of her life, the one who was willing to help her and take care of her was her mother whom she had disowned a long time ago.

Her life was like a joke. Feeling awkward in the living room, Eve said goodbye to the old man and went back to her room. When they just finished packing the luggage, the sound of arguing came from upstairs. Catherine ran down the stairs, her face flushing with anger. She intended to rush outside when Ryan followed her down and called out to the security guards at the door, “Stop her!”

Before the security guards could come up. Ava caught Catherine by the waist and asked, “Katie, what’s wrong?”

Catherine straightened up her neck and shouted, “I’m leaving home.” It was the first time Hailey had heard someone airing her intention so blatantly. She ignored Catherine’s childish behavior and lifted her eyelids. “Leaving home? Where are you going?” “I’ll be where Matt is.” Catherine’s eyes were red.

She looked at Ryan resentfully and said, “I should have known that you would not compromise so easily. Turns out you have something up your sleeve. Did you drive Matthew away? You’re such an old fox!”

“Katie, you can’t talk to your father like that.” Hailey’s face fell. Catherine was afraid of Hailey. She trembled, hung her head, and bit her lip stubbornly. Ryan stood on the steps, showing a frosty face.

The air about him was depressing and stern. He sneered and said, “Do I have to do that? Before I could make a move, the kid has fled. I was wondering if my daughter was so horrible that a grown-up like him was scared out of his wits.”

“How could you…” Catherine was pissed off. She looked back at Ava and said, “Don’t stop me. I’m gonna fight it out with him.” Ava froze for a moment before grabbing Catherine in a hurry. Hailey put her hand on her forehead. This girl was troublesome.
