Love Is Fair
Chapter 061 1 Donât Love You Anymore On the other end of the phone, Matthew was still chattering. Hailey only felt inexplicable anger rising from the soles of his feet. Her chest was about to burst. She pinched the phone and said coldly, âGo to hell.â Then she hung up.
Ava was startled by the side, and seeing Haileyâs very ugly face, she asked worriedly, âSister, whatâs the matter?â Almost a second after hanging up the phone, the bell rang again, and the contactâs name was not displayed, but the string of numbers was more familiar to Hailey than the bank card password.
Hailey held the phone with complicated emotions and felt that it was ridiculous.
If she remembered correctly, this was the first time that man had called her on his own initiative. She took a breath, calmed down, and pressed the answer. The moment the phone was placed in her ear, the manâs hoarse and low voice came over, âHello.â He seemed to have just woken up, and the sound was a little distorted. Owen had slept all night in the car and had just woken up now. He wanted to call Hailey, but it was too late yesterday, and he feared disturbing her. He didnât want to go to the hotel, but he wanted to see her early in the morning and make it clear to her as soon as possible. âOwen.â Hailey said his name slowly as if she had spent her life trying to suppress her temper, âLetâs talk.â
The door to the Garden of Rose slowly opened from both sides, and Hailey came out alone. The car door opened wide, and Owen sat inside, watching her come step by step. The distance between the two of them shortened little by little. Jose waited in front of the car and greeted Hailey respectfully, âMadame, good morning.â Hailey paused and glanced at him lightly, âWho the hell is your madame?
Donât mistake me.â Jose grinned sheepishly, âPlease get in the car.â
Owen reached out to Hailey, trying to give her a hand, âCome up.â âMove inward.â Hailey didnât need his support at all. Owen moved inward as she said, and Hailey got into the car and closed the door. In the Garden of Rose, Ava was standing in front of the flower bed, waiting for Hailey. Seeing her getting into the car, she was a little worried and asked Old K, âWill my sister be in danger?â Old K was a tough guy, staring solemnly in the direction not far away, and said solemnly, âDonât be afraid. I have already arranged it. If Miss Hailey doesnât get off the car, the car wonât be able to leave.â Ava nodded. Hailey just told her to wait for a little while and that she went to meet a friend. But when she looked at sister Haiteyâs face, she didnât feel like she was going to meet friends, but rather like going to see old enemies.
Sitting next to the woman he had thought about all night at this moment, Owen was inexplicably nervous, and his heart was beating uncontrollably. âYouâ¦â He opened his mouth sternly. He had a lot to say, but when they came to his mouth, they turned into, âHave you eaten?â The driver and Jose both got out of the car, only the two of them were left in the car, and Hailey gave him a cool look, not answering him at all, and the atmosphere became awkward. Owen was a little embarrassed.
A business boss who could talk without changing his face at international conferences, but at this time, he had become overwhelmed like a child who had just learned to speak. âTime is limited. Letâs speak up.â Compared with Owen, Hailey was the real business boss. She was wearing an orange suit today, which was dignified and youthful, beautiful and sassy. She looked cold, with no kindness.
âOkay.â Owen had always been a direct person, and he really hated the other partyâs chatter. Since Hailey asked so, he said straightly, âAre you the girl who was kidnapped in the jungle ten years ago?â Her heart jerked. Hailey thought she was mentally prepared, but when he asked this sentence, some distant memories were still recalled uncontrollably. She forced herself to answer his question and his eyes, âYes. Back then, it was you who saved me.â A string in Owenâs heart was tense. Even though he already had the answer in his heart, the moment his guess was confirmed by her, he was still a little trembling, looking at Hailey, and his eyes were burning hot. What a coincidence.
People who met in that situation ten years ago were actually sitting together in such a situation ten years later. His lips were a little dry, his throat stuck, and he looked at Hailey deeply, âSo, you came to me three years ago and married me to repay my kindness for saving you back then?â Hailey didnât dodge and asked him word by word, âDo you think Iâll be the kind of woman who would marry you just to repay your kindness?â Owenâs eyes flashed, and his heart trembled, âThen youâ¦â âI married you because I like you.â It turned out that the emotion that had been in her heart for ten years was so relaxed when she said it as if there was a huge stone in her heart that was finally taken away. She was so relieved. But when Owen heard Hailey say the words âI like youâ, it seemed that there was a boulder that suddenly exploded in his heart. âOnce,â Hailey added more » words. âI used to like you. To be exact, I had a crush on you for a long time.â Her entire youth was spent in secret love. The feeling of secret love was sweet at first and then slowly became bitter. The sweet wine turned into bitter tea, and her youth was gone forever. Her failed marriage was a tribute to her secret love. But she didnât regret it. At least Owen let her know what it was like to love someone.
When Owen heard the word âonceâ, a very inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, and his mouth suddenly felt bitter. He pursed his thin lips, âThen, why did you lie to me? Why did you deliberately conceal your identity?â âBecause Iâm First Young Lady of the Newmans.â Hailey said lightly, âLetâs not talk about the rivalry between Moore and Newman. At that time, my parents had just passed away, and my family was in such a situation. It was the best choice for me to hide my identity.â Owenâs Adamâs apple rolled, âI heard that your parents went to North City to help you discuss marriage?â âYes.â At this point, there was nothing to hide. Hailey said, âThey know that I like you, but they canât stop me. Even if the relationship between our two families is so delicate, they want to fulfill me.â Her eyebrows hurt slightly, âSometimes I think, if it wasnât for my wishful thinking and my parents didnât go to North City for me, wouldnât everything after that happen?â Owen looked at Haileyâs instantly pale face, and he suddenly felt sorry for her, âHaileyâ¦â âIâm fine.â Hailey eased the sudden sharp pain in her heart, âYou donât need to comfort me. Itâs my business to like you, not yours. And I said that it was once.â She looked him in the eye and told him clearly, âOwen, what I owe you is all returned to you. Iâm honored that I donât love you anymore.â
