Chapter 81
Love Is Fair
Chapter 081 Being attacked Even though he had gotten used to her indifference, her mean words still overwhelmed Owen. âDating with a lady in red?â Owen was confused, âAre you talking about me?â Hailey leaned back and looked up with her icy cold eyes, âYou did that, why not just admit it? Itâs normal to go on a date and have sex for young man, but itâs immoral to twoâtime.â Boys would be boys. When he was married, he had an affair with Eliza. Now after the divorce, what could he not do? Once there was a disloyalty, there would be a hundred times refusal. It was not just for subordinates and friends, and even more so for exâhusbands. Owenâs eyebrows knitted and he thought for a long time before he realized who she meant by âlady in redâ, âYou mean Ashley Wilson?â âOh, thatâs Ashley Wilson.â Hailey said lightly, âSheâs such a gorgeous. You got your tastes changed so fast, huh, Mr. Moore? I thought you only love Eliza, that kind of innocent pure girl.â Owenâs lips tensed up and his face darkened a little.
He was not completely without temper, nor was he a shameless guy that would still smile when he was ridiculed, but in front of Hailey, he tried his best to restrain his temper, not wanting to hurt her again. But this did not mean he can let her slander and belittle him.
âYes, she came to me last night. Itâs just that I donât know her and I have nothing to do with her, so I asked her to leave.â Owenâs voice was cold and hard, âDid anyone say something to you so you got me wrong? Or youâre just so powerful that you got the surveillance at the door of my room again, seeing a woman there, and you put ideas into your head?â Hearing the annoyance in his voice, Hailey knew that this meal was about to over. âYouâre overthinking it. I donât have the leisure to pry into your private life, and you donât have to explain anything to me. Iâm saying this, not to oppose your relationship, just to show my attitude. I am not interested in playing any love triangle game.â Owenâs deep pupils obviously shrank for a second, âSo you still donât believe me.â Hailey smiled faintly and shook his head, âYou are a trustworthy partner in business, thatâs enough. I never care about the private life of my partners. Thatâs your own business.
Just leave me out of that.â At this point, Owen understood that she was telling him that there was no longer any hope for their relationship. As for the idea of starting over, it was just his fancy. âOK, I see.â
Owen looked at her calmly and said clearly. âI wonât say such stupid things again.â The corner of Haileyâs mouth twisted, âThatâs the best.â There was no need to go on eating now, so the meal ended.
Hailey held four small bowls out and as she was about to get into the car, she said to Owen, âMatthew should have arrived in Poya. We can go to the horse farm so if you are free and discuss the details of the project.
Owen nodded lightly, âIs tomorrow ok? I will be back to North Cry Pornorrow afternoon, and I will ask someone to come here to discuss the details âBack tomorrow?â Hailey was slightly surprised, but only said out of polite, ât will be the annual Rose Festival of Poya in few days so if you are interested, you may stay for a few more days to feel the festive atmosphere Through the night, Owen looked at her calmly and asked, âDo you want me to stay?â Hailey was stunned. Under his gaze, she said, âIâm just saying. Just follow your own plan. Itâs late, should probably go back See you.â She nodded slightly and got into the car.
Owen went downcast as he watched her car fade away His eyes slightly dimmed, and he suddenly smiled bitterly âWhat am I thinking? She would say that she wanted me to stay and spend the holidays with her? If she said so, I would definitely stay with her. But now she hates me so much. She may not want to see me again. So why annoy her?â âMr. Moore, hop in please.â Jose stood by the side of the car and waited for a long time for Owen. Seeing he standing still and staring ahead, with a humble and heartbroken look, Jose could not help but urge him. What he actually wanted to say was, âGive up and move on. Stop torturing her, and stop torturing yourself.â
Owen withdrew his gaze and waved his hand lightly, âNo, I want to have a walk now.â
Poya was an ancient city with many medieval buildings. It was full of quaint charm, while in the city center, there were highârise buildings. It was both a classic and modern place. It was no wonder that Hailey had gained her unique temperament here.
Owen walked along the street. He was just walking and nothing special. But some girls on the road secretly took photo of him and exclaimed in a low voice, âHeâs so cute. Is he a model shooting here or something? Or an actor? I donât think I have seen him before.â âLook those legs! Oh my god, are those true? He must be more than 6.2 feet tall. Not only tall but also so handsome. You see? His face is simply a masterpiece!â
Jose followed far behind Owen with several bodyguards, worried and anxious.
This was in Poya, not in their own place, North City. So he inevitably worried that bad things would happen. Moreover, his boss had a marvelous pretty face. As an assistant, he really worried about him.
If something happened to Owen, Steven would definitely kill him. Murphyâs Law told us that if things might go wrong, they would go wrong.
Owen walked into an alley, quite interested in the design of the quaint houses. When he was about to reach out and feel the walls, several people in black suddenly rushed over like dropping from the skies.
Without saying a word, they covered his head with a sack, and then started punching and kicking.
On the way back, Hailey suddenly had a migraine. No matter whether she opened her eyes or closed them, her mind always echoed with Owenâs words, âCan we start over?â She pulled down the window irritably to get some air and relieve her depressed mood.
Hailey didnât know what kind of mood Owen was in when he said that, but she really didnât trust him anymore. Even if she had wronged him, he didnât date with that lady, and it was all a misunderstanding, so what? It was impossible for them to go back. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Owen calling. She frowned and thought for a moment before answering âMr. Moore, whatâs up?â It was not Owen, but Joseâs anxious voice, âMadam, Mr. Moore was attacked!â Hailey got nervous, âWhere are you? Iâll be right there!â
