Chapter 298

Chapter 298 Happy Valentine’s Day Hailey’s smile froze when she saw Matthew and Owen. They might as well not come.

Owen walked towards her, smiling brightly, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

Hailey didn’t even smile at him, and said ruthlessly. “If you want me to be happy, you should lie in the hospital obediently instead of coming here.”

He knew that he would be criticized if he came, but he wanted to see her and spend Valentine’s Day with her. So he came anyway. Owen pursed her lips slightly, trying to make her happy, but he didn’t know what to say. “How can I sit by and watch you busy working alone on such an important occasion?”

Hailey thought it made sense. It seemed they had a conscience.

Compared to Owen’s caution and coyness, Matthew was much more confident. He walked over casually, held Owen’s shoulder lazily, and greeted Hailey, “Hailey, Happy Valentine’s Day!”

Matthew smiled brightly and said, “Today is the day for couples to see each other and have fun. You should be happy for them. Why don’t you smile?”

Hearing his words, Hailey felt even more annoyed, and said coldly, “I wonder how it feels to be single on Valentine’s Day.”

Owen said, “What do you mean?”

Matthew explained, “Are you stupid or something? She’s referring to you.”

Owen felt speechless and said, “You’re so mean.”

He caught up with Hailey. Matthew smiled casually, and stepped forward to rub Hailey’s shoulder, “Well, was Catherine a fortuneteller in her last life?”

Hailey gave him a sideways glance.

Matthew complained, “I went to hang out with a girl last night. I wanted to develop a relationship with her and tried to get a girlfriend before Valentine’s Day. I couldn’t spend this festival about love alone, right? Guess what? Before we even kissed, my underwear was torn It was so embarrassing that I instantly lost interest. I changed a new one this morning, and it ended up being torn with three holes!”

Hailey couldn’t help laughing.

Owen looked up suddenly.

Hailey asked with interest, “What does this have to do with Catherine?”

Matthew told Hailey that when he left North City, Catherine had asked him to promise that he wasn’t going to hit on girls, or his underwear would be torn. He hadn’t expected it to come true.

“This is simply the most vicious curse, isn’t it?” Matthew felt that Catherine was amazing.

Hailey couldn’t help laughing again, and gave Matthew a dirty look, “You deserve it. She didn’t think Catherine was very amazing. She only thought that there should be some quality problem with the underwear Matthew had bought.

However, Matthew had a guilty conscience. Once his underwear was tom, he did not dare to do some bad things. Everything had its vanquisher.

Hailey was in a much better mood after hearing Matthew’s joke.

Owen followed behind her and could see Hailey’s smiling face. He looked at Matthew, who was chatting and laughing with her and couldn’t help gritting his teeth. This was the first time he had felt so jealous of Matthew.

The preparations for the pre-event activities were sufficient, and many people came to the opening of the racecourse Today was Valentine’s Day and it happened to be Saturday. There were a lot of couples here. They came to ride horses, soak in the hot spring, and enjoy a romantic date.

Out of respect for the Moore family, the Newman family, and the Holland family, many wealthy dignitaries from North City, Poya City, and Belindao City showed up, and friends from all walks of life came to congratulate and visit. There was an endless stream of guests.

Matthew and Owen were both very sociable, and they could handle such an occasion with ease. With their help, Hailey found her work much easier.

Many friends from North City had seen Hailey and knew that she and Owen used to be husband and wife. They were all surprised that the two were working together again.

Hailey’s title was no longer “Mrs. Moore”, but the heir of Poya City’s current richest Crystaldale Group.

In just three months, the name of Ms. Newman spread throughout the business world.

After all, she had had a narrow escape, seized power from her uncle, and taken control of Crystaldale.

She had single-handedly defeated the Freaktube Group and led the Crystaldale to become the richest Group in Poya City again. They were all major events that shocked the whole country and could be called legends.

Although many marketing accounts didn’t know Hailey and had neither seen her photos nor read any of her interviews, they still described her as a powerful female role model. Many people were interested in her. There were also a lot of people who were interested in Owen and Hailey’s previous marriage.

“Mr. Moore, congratulations! You got such a good piece of land.” The chairman of the Everlasting Group in North City and his wife came over to shake hands with Owen and congratulate him.

Owen smiled lightly and said, “Thanks, Mr. Joseph. This piece of land was acquired by Crystaldale, and I just joined the project as a partner.”

“I’ve heard that. Ms. Newman is a powerful woman. Could you introduce her to me?”

“Sure.” Owen brought Mr. Joseph over to see Hailey and introduced him to her, “Hailey, this is Mr.

Joseph from the Everlasting Group and his wife Mrs. Joseph. They have been friends with my mother for many years.”

Since they were Polly’s friends, Hailey naturally showed them respect, and shook hands with them politely, “Mr. Joseph, Mrs. Joseph, nice to meet you.”

After exchanging greetings, Mrs. Joseph took her husband’s hand and looked at Hailey, “No wonder Polly praised you in front of me all the time. Well, I’m not as lucky as her to have a beautiful, capable and sensible daughter-in-law like you.”

Hailey still had a polite smile on her face, and corrected lightly, “Mrs. Joseph, I’m her ex-daughter-in-

law.”

Owen’s heart instantly ached. There was a moment of embarrassment. Mrs. Joseph covered her mouth and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry.

I thought you had gotten back…”

Mr. Joseph held his wife’s hand and stopped her from saying anything more.

Seeing Owen and Hailey standing together like a couple and looking harmonious, she thought they had gotten back together.

There was a smile on Owen’s pale face, and he said, “My mother indeed likes Hailey. She likes Hailey more than me.”

“Aunt Polly and I are really like mother and daughter.” Hailey followed his words and invited Mrs.

Joseph, “There are a few ponies in the racecourse. I saved one for Aunt Polly. Mrs. Joseph, I don’t know if you like it or not. Would you like to take a look?”

“I’d love to.” Mrs. Joseph was very interested in the pony and sensible enough to accept Hailey’s offer.

She let go of her husband’s arm and followed Hailey away.

Owen looked at Hailey’s back. He remembered what she had just said and felt upset.

Mr. Joseph noticed it and patted Owen on the shoulder, “If you regret it, go and get her back.”

Owen smiled slightly, “I’m working on it.”

The opening ceremony ended successfully. After seeing the guests off, Hailey looked exhausted. She had stayed up all night, and she couldn’t stand it now.

Matthew hooked up with a beautiful girl on the racecourse and drove a sports car to a date with her. He wanted to get a girlfriend on Valentine’s Day and break the “curse” that Catherine had brought him. When he left, he winked and expressed his loyalty to Hailey. “You have to believe that I love you the most.”

Hailey said, “Go away!”

Matthew quickly drove away Night fell and the sky was full of stars. Hailey yawned and waved to Owen lazily, I’m leaving first. You should go back to the hospital too.

Bye “Wait.” Just as she was about to get into the car, Owen got a bunch of roses from nowhere and held them in front of her.

The delicate and beautiful pink roses with crystal dew on the petals were similar to the bouquet of roses that Randal was planning to send to Ashley in the chat group today. It was Hailey’s type.

Seeing her staring at the roses without saying a word, Owen hurriedly said, “It doesn’t mean anything else. It’s just for the occasion of the festival. Happy Valentine’s Day.”

Not wanting to talk more, Hailey took it and said, “I’ll take it. Thank you.” She took the flowers and got into the car.

Owen smiled and waved goodbye to her, “Be careful on the way home, and tell me when you get home.” He sounded like a boyfriend.

Hailey frowned slightly and suddenly said to him, “The opening ceremony is over. You should go back to North City. I will go to Engese in a few days.”

The smile on Owen’s face froze, “You’re going to Engese? When?”

“Wherever I’m going has nothing to do with you.” Hailey’s tone was blunt, showing complete exhaustion, I’m telling you because I don’t want you to follow me. Owen, my world is in chaos, and there are too many things waiting for me to deal with. I don’t have the energy to deal with you. When I wanted to talk to you about our relationship, you didn’t want to talk about it. Now you want to do that, but sorry, I’m not in the mood anymore.” She said to him solemnly, “Please leave me alone”

Owen’s heart ached when he heard her cold words. He had been heartbroken long ago, and it didn’t hurt him as much as before. It wasn’t her words that hurt him, but the tired look on her face.

He knew that Roger’s return this time brought her a lot of trouble. How could he leave when she was in such trouble? Owen stood by the car door, and his throat felt dry, “I know, and I understand. I won’t pester you. I just hope that you don’t hate me, and just treat me like ant ordinary friend like Matthew.”

Hailey looked at his sincere face in the moonlight. It didn’t look like the face ten years ago, but it matched perfectly.

“Owen, I’ve never really hated you. No matter what you did to me, I will always remember your kindness for saving me.”

Hailey’s voice was calm, but her eyes were no longer bright, “It’s just…”

It was just that once something happened, there was no going back.
