Chapter 47
Love Is Fair
Chapter 047 Cherish Your Life At Kubis Cafe. The air was filled with a fresh and rich fragrance of tea. The steam rose and blurred the two handsome faces. Ryker Page sat opposite Owen Moore. As the host, he took the initiative to make him a cup of tea. âThe earl grey produced by our shop. Mr. Moore, have a taste and see if it suits you.â
âThank you.â Owen lightly knocked on the table, his manner indescribably elegant and calm. It was completely different from when he faced Hailey from before. Ryker raised his eyes and calmly sized up the man in front of him. This was Old Mr. Mooreâs grandson, the new generation leader of the Mazedew Group. He had long heard of his name and had long wanted to meet him.
Mazedew Group was founded by Old Mr. Moore. It was considered a family business. It was once prosperous, but the next generation could not maintain its glory. It was not until the grandson of the Moore family was promoted to the position of successor that there was a chance of revival.
The person who had taken down the position of the being the richest in the northern city for Mazedew Group was the young man who sat in front of him, Owen, who was also about the same age as him. âI have admired you for a long time and have always wanted to find an opportunity to exchange pointers with you. However, you also know that our two families have never interfered with each other. We do not have many opportunities to cooperate and communicate.â âMr.
Page, I know you. Haileyâs right-hand man.â Owen looked straight at Ryker. Although he did not find out about Haileyâs information, he investigated some people around her. Ryker was not only Haileyâs right-
hand man, but also the son of the Newmansâ driver. Three years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Newmans died in a car accident. The driver also died on the spot, and it was Rykerâs father. However, Hailey did not blame the Page family. Not only did she settle down the Page family, but she also transferred Ryker from abroad to her side and entered the Crystaldale Company to help her. Ryker smiled gently and said, âThe Newmans has treated my family well. Miss Newman and I grew up together. In other words, I watched her grow up. In my heart, she is not only the boss, but also a sister.â âOh, childhood sweetheart.â Owen narrowed his eyes as he spoke. âNo, I am her guardian. Just like in fairy tales, the knight for his princess. So, I wonât allow anyone to bully or hurt her.â Ryker smiled again. When he said this, his gentle expression became a little colder. Owen looked at him calmly. Ryker continued, âToday, I asked you out to find out what Miss Newman experienced during the three years she was missing. What kind of relationship do you have with her?â
A hint of disappointment flashed across Owenâs eyes. Owen originally thought that he could find out something with the relationship between Hailey and Ryker. Maybe he could get the answer from Ryker, but now it seemed that Ryker didnât know anything. âYou have such a good relationship with Hailey. Didnât she tell you?â Owen raised his teacup and took a sip of tea. âI am not her biological brother. There are some things that she is afraid that I will worry about and wonât tell me.â âBut ever since she came back, I can see that she has something on her mind and she is not as lively as before. I think that in the past three years, she must have experienced a lot and that is why she is like this.â Owen frowned slightly. He suddenly realized that when Hailey first married him, her personality was indeed livelier than now, and she was also very gentle and obedient.
But now, facing him, Hailey did not have a trace of a good tone, and her tone was harsh, as if she was facing her enemy.
âThree years ago, my father took Mr. and Mrs. Newmans went to North City to propose marriage for Miss Newman. But you said that she married you⦠Are you the man that she has been secretly in love with for ten years?â Ryker looked at him deeply.
Owenâs pupils shrank, and his eyes were full of shock. Propose marriage? Ten years of secret love?
Hailey had a crush on him?
At the horse farm in the northern Suburbs. The horse farm was still being built. There were potholes in the road, so it was a wise choice for Hailey to change into a pair of flats.
âBe careful.â
Matthew reached out to support Hailey, and she did not refuse. She thanked him politely and handed him her hand. âYour handâ¦â Matthew rubbed Haileyâs palm and turned it over.
He could not help but be surprised. âYou are a rich young lady. Why do you have calluses all over?â
The back of Haileyâs hand and the palm of her hand were completely different. The back of her hand was white and tender. Her fingers were slender and long. She looked like a delicate young lady who had never done any chores. However, her palm was covered with thick calluses, especially the middle of her fingers. It felt rough to the touch. âNo wonder Old Mr. Moore always thought that you were a rural girl.â He seemed to be looking at a rare and wonderful scene, touching and caressing the palm of Haileyâs hand. Hailey frowned and pulled back her hand. She retorted, unconvinced, âSo what if I am a rural girl? Who says that a child who grows up in the city canât have a little calluses on her palm? The calluses on your hand are no less than mine.â âI took a gun in the army and trained every day. Of course, we arenât the same,â
said Matthew while showing his wide palm. When he said this, Hailey couldnât help but think of Owen.
His palm was also covered with calluses. âHey, I am your pursuer. I will be jealous if you think of another man in front of me.â Matthew protested in dissatisfaction. âHow did you.â Hailey could not help but raise her head.
She pursed her lips. âHow do I know that you are thinking of another man?â Matthew finished his unfinished sentence and looked at her with a half-smile. âGirl, your love for Owen is written on your face. That dense man canât tell, but you canât hide it from me.â Hailey rolled her eyes at him. âTo be honest, not only is Owen curious, but I am too. Why did you hide your identity and marry him?â Matthew looked at Hailey. At this time, the sunlight was just righ, shining on her perfect face. She was so beautiful that she looked like an angel. âAre you here to work or to gossip?â Hailey stopped and asked coldly. . âBoth.â Matthew shrugged. âItâs already in the past. Thereâs nothing to say about it. Thereâs no need for Owen or you to know about it.â Hailey then continued walking forward. Matthew rushed forward to catch up with her and touched her shoulder. âJust satisfy my curiosity.â âCuriosity killed the cat. I advise you to cherish your life.â Hailey glared at him.
Matthew then felt a chill on down his spine. âI suddenly have a bad feeling.â He grinned. He spoke in a serious manner, and Hailey frowned slightly. âWhat bad feeling?â âIf we really get married, I might become a henpecked husband.â Hailey was speechless. Was this person delusional? Since when did she want to marry him? She was too lazy to pay attention to him. She flipped through the information in her hands and checked the current state of the basic infrastructure modification of the racecourse. âIâm serious. I like mysterious girls the most. They make one feel the urge to explore. If you are really over Owen, please consider being my girlfriend.â âWhatâs the benefit of being your girlfriend?â Hailey asked without looking up. âThere are so many benefits. I have always been generous and will spoil my girl.
I can give you anything you want. Even if you want the stars in the sky. I can find a way to pluck one for you.â
âI donât lack money, love, and I donât want any stars. What you can give me is meaningless to me.â
Hailey said with a disdainful smile. Matthew covered his chest and said, âThat hurts.â âGive up.â Hailey then slapped the information into his arms.
Matthew grabbed it and rushed forward. âWell, letâs not talk about the benefits. At least, you can provoke Owen. Donât you want to make him regret?â Hailey could not help but stop in her tracks.
