Love Is Fair
Chapter 251 Be Your Own Support Hailey was calm and she looked at Polly whose eyes were the same as Owenâs. âAunt Polly,â she spoke slowly.
âI had a food memory, remembering both kindness and revenge. For the past three years, Iâve hidden my identity and married into the Moores family to take care of Owen, and I donât regret it. But fate is something that has a beginning and an end. I donât want to go through it again after having already been hurt and suffered.â She told what she meant.
Polly sighed lightly, âI know. When I was young. I was tougher than you are now. I couldnât bear to lose a bit.
When Alan first got close to Maya, I couldnât accept it. So, I got very angry and struggled. At that time, many people advised me not to divorce. They said it was normal for men to have a mistress and I had to endure for my kid.â
After a while, she sneered, âAt that time I scorned such a statement. Because I know it is not me who has an affair with others. Why should I bear his mistake and disloyalty? In fact, before we got married, I told Alan that if he dared to betray me, I would dare to cuckold him. He was angry with me at the time, saying that I did not trust him. He promised that he would never betray our marriage. However, he did not keep his word. I felt sad because I couldnât be disgusting as him or cuckold him.â Polly still felt pain when she talked about those old times. She narrowed her eyes, saying, âWe really loved each other for some time Probably because we had such a good iime, so when all the wonderful things were shattered, there was a feeling of being cheated. It was unacceptable to me. At the time, I was tired of loving him anymore. But I was also reluctant to divorce him. I always asked myself the reason. Is it because I am not rood enough? I ask myself every moment, but I canât figure it out.â
Hailey felt a hidden sting in her heart. She had a similar experience with Polly. Women and men were built differently. Women were born with a stronger ability to empathize than men. No matter how sensible and sober a woman was, when she met a man she truly liked and threw herself into a relationship, she was prone to become emotional and vulnerable. When a woman in a relationship became worried, she would be at a lost no matter if she got little sense of security from a man or hersell. As a resuli, she would keep doubting herself and come to a dead end. It was like she going into a dark alley and not seeing the way ahead, however, she refused to go back and thus wasting her time for the rest life. Until one day, she couldnât go any further, and the man she loved told her to stop daydreaming! He told her that their relationship was over and she should get the hell out! At that time, she was thrown away, but she was instantly awake. Inside a relationship, whoever devoted the most first, was the loser. Hailey and Polly were both losers. Though they could submit themselves to the man they loved, they could return to reality and become their owni kings.
Polly said to Halley, âHailey, perhaps in illis world, there is no one who has the same feelings as you.
We have all been hurt by men. But only yoursell know how much you have been hurt. So, I donât advise you to definitely net back together with Owie. However, he is my son and you are my daughter-in-law I like. So, I will try my best to make you two get lopeilier again.â
âWell?â Hailey was stunned, only to feel that Polly had changed the subject too quickly that she was caught off guard. She said hesitantly, âAunt Pollyâ¦.
Polly suddenly smiled narrowly and shouted outside, âOwie!â
The door opened quickly, and Owenâs handsome and anxious face appeared. He asked, âMom, whatâs wrong?â âLet Winnie in, I need to talk to her about something.â Polly instructed him in a serious manner, âIt is not easy for Hailey and Dr. Sears to travel a long way and make effort to help me with my leg. You must treat them well. Can you do that? Help me treat Hailey to a meal and thank her properly.â
Owen glanced at Hailey who had a solemn face and answered, âI got it.â
When Winnie came in, her eyes were red. Polly looked a little pale and tired. Such a strong woman who had always been tough in business was just a simple middle-aged woman once she took off her cover. One could see the wrinkles around her eyes.
âWinnie, give me the mirror. I want to have a look at myself.â
Winnie handed her a round mirror. Polly looked at herself in it and examined her face, carefully checking the wrinkles on her face. She hadnât looked at herself so seriously in years. She remembered herself as a much younger woman than the old woman in front of her. Polly used to be a young woman with gentle eyes. The newspaper commented that she was an excellent, young, gentle but also a tough woman. The newspaper also commented that she and Alan were a perfect match at that time.
However, life told her that there was no perfect match at all in the world except for the hurt and broken-hearted guys in relationships.
âWinnie, Iâm really old.â Polly sighed.
Winnie laughed and teased, âYes. Itâs true. Other women at your age have long had grandmothers and had grandchildren.â
Polly felt upset, glared and said, âMy son is such a loser. What else can I do?â
Winnie smiled and didnât say anything.
Putting down the mirror, Polly took a few sips of the water Winnie handed her, then asked, âHas he left?â Both of them know who âheâ referred to.
Winnie said, âYes. But he wanted to see you. Mr. Moore drove him away. I donât know if he really cares about you or not. He came here to care about your leg. But he also wanted to ask for a favor for Maya, hoping that Hailey could let Maya go.â
Polly sneered, âWhat good intentions can he have? He is not concerned about my leg, but wants to remove the thorn in his heart. As long as I canât stand up, he will think of the fact that I jumped for him and broke my leg.
So, he naturally feels guilty. It is true that he pleaded for Maya, but itâs in vain!â
Winnie said with anger, âThatâs right. I canât believe he still dares to come to plead for that bitch, Maya.
Doesnât he feel ashamed?â
Pollyâs eyes narrowed slightly as she said, âI am still too soft-hearted and treasured my love for him at that time. Besides, I donât want to hurt Owie, so I didnât make any trouble with him and that bitch and let them go. They have made me annoyed for so many years. Now they are making trouble with Hailey.
How dare they? How shameless they are!â
Winnie said, âThe good thing is Hailey is not a woman to be easily bullied. Bitch Maya has suffered a lot from detention this time.â
âItâs not enoughâ Polly smiled coldly, saying, âLet me teach her a good lesson. This is such a good chance!â
