Chapter 029 He Owed Her an Apology

“I’m sorry” For some reason, Owen couldn’t help but blurt out an apology, and he did not feel inappropriate Hailey had taken care of him for three years, but he had never taken care of her for a day. In fact, he even hurt her because of another woman. He definitely owed her an apology. Getting his apology, Hailey was shocked for a moment. No one knew better than her how bad Owen’s temper was and how stubborn he could be. It was shocking that Owen would say sorry. This was the first time he had actually apologized. However, what Hailey had always hoped for was never “sorry”, but “I love you”. Hailey laughed self-deprecatingly in her heart though her expression remained unmoved. She answered lightly, “Your apology is accepted.” Then, she turned around and got into the car. Her indifferent attitude was very different from the past, as if she had no affection and attachment for him anymore. Had she really given up on him? The assistants got into the vehicles and prepared to leave. Just as the engine started up, Owen suddenly remembered something and banged on the car window. Hailey grew impatient, wondering what Owen wanted and since when did he

become so fussy. She rolled down the car window. “Yes, what do you want?” “Why did you pretend to be a nurse and come to take care of me three years

ago? I chose you, but you could have refused. So why did you agree?” His questions were straight to the point.

Turning to look at his handsome face that was filled with doubt, Hailey could tell that he really wanted to know the answers. “That’s no longer important.” Cold raindrops drifted in from the car window.

Chapter 029 He Owed Her SAAPUIUUS Feeling the coolness on her face and in her heart, Hailey continued in an indifferent tone, “In the future, when we meet again, just pretend that we’re strangers.” After the window was shut, the three black cars drove away from the alley. Owen stood in the rain with an umbrella and watched the cars gradually disappear from his sight. He felt a sense of loss and

emptiness as if something was taken away from his life. He also felt unprecedented pain. Just then, someone touched his shoulder.

He turned sideways and met Matthew’s bright smiling face. The latter’s body

and hair were wet. Although shrouded in water vapor, Matthew was cheerful. Putting his hand on Owen’s shoulder, Matthew asked teasingly, “Do you miss her as soon as she left?”

“It’s none of your business.” With a poker face, Owen pushed his friend away in annoyance.

“Of course, it’s my business.”

Saying that, Matthew got closer to Owen. “I’ll never mess with my friend’s wife. But since the two of you had divorced, Hailey is single now. So I can pursue

her.”

Owen stopped in his tracks and shot Matthew a cold glare. “Are you serious?” “Of course.” Matthew stood up straight, kept away his joking look, and looked

at Owen without smiling. “What? Do you not want me to date Hailey? I thought you had never liked her. You’re not telling me that you fell in love with Hailey the moment you divorced her, are you?” asked Matthew, sizing up Owen’s expression. Owen’s gaze darkened.

Standing under the same umbrella, the two were sizing up each other’s expressions, as if it was a competition.

Back then, they used to be comrades, but this time, they were rivals. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“You and Hailey are not good together,” stated Owen firmly.

Matthew shrugged. “How would I know if I dont try! Besides, you dont know her. You can’t say that Hailey and I are not good together. Also, I was the one who told you her identity.” Knowing Owen’s weakness, Matthew hit where it hurt. Owen narrowed his eyes warningly. “She’s not the kind of woman whom you can casually mess with like in the past.”

“I know. That’s why I’ll pursue Hailey with seriousness. At first, I was worried that she still had feelings for you. But judging at the situation now, I was thinking too much. Hailey is much more ruthless than any man once she has decided to cut off her past. I like it.” Saying so, Matthew

turned to glance in the direction in which Hailey left. He curved his lips into a smile of victory and gently punched Owen on the shoulder. “I will keep the gift for your wedding and not wish you a happy marriage. Wait for my good news. Maybe I’ll be the one to get married soon.” With a bright beam, Matthew took out a cigarette and lit it. He tightened his trench coat and strode into the rain with the cigarette in his mouth, waving goodbye. “Later.” Watching Matthew leaving unrestrainedly, Owen tightened his right hand into a

fist, causing blue veins to pop out.

Owen’s expression was very solemn.

Due to the rain, the helicopter was not in operation. Hailey sat in the car that was heading back to Poya, looking a little tired. She pulled a blanket over herself and planned to nap a little. While she was half asleep, the car suddenly jerked, and she woke up. “Hey, watch out!” Chris frowned. The driver almost hit someone and apologized, “I’m sorry…” Meanwhile, Chris saw a familiar gray figure flash past the front of the car. Just as he raised his alertness and reached into his pocket, the car door was opened, and Matthew broke in. “Miss Newman, could you give me a lift?”

Matthew brought a chill into the carriage. He was drenched and soaked wet.

Chapter 029 He Owed Met an Apology Glancing at Matthew, who broke in rudely, Hailey furrowed her brows and

scolded, “Who let you in? Get out!” “Hey, we are friends. Don’t be so cold.”

Matthew had thick skin. As soon as he got into the car, he began to take off his coat and pants. Looking at his actions, everyone was stunned.

Just as Matthew had untied his belt, a knife was pressed on his neck.

Hailey’s voice was icy and hostile. “Mr. Holland, what are you trying to do in my car?”

Matthew moved his neck and felt a trace of pain coming. Blood oozed out.

Hailey was holding a foreign-made saber, which seemed very sharp. Apparently, Hailey wasn’t friendly at all. “It’s dangerous to play with a knife. You could hurt yourself.”

With a crooked smile, Matthew grabbed the hilt of Hailey’s saber. He slowly moved the saber away before touching his neck that was already bleeding. “What a ruthless woman,” he thought to himself. “Don’t misunderstand.” He fiddled with his wet hair and explained smilingly, “||

was taking off my clothes because I don’t wanna get your car dirty.”

Unmoved by his explanation, Hailey commented coldly, “If you really had

thought that, you wouldn’t have gotten into my car at all.” Matthew put back his belt. His white shirt was wet from the rain and glued to his body. It brought out his well-defined pectorals and abdominal muscles. A corner of his shirt came out from his trousers, and his buttons were not properly buttoned, which made him look frivolous and laid-back. Casually, he pulled some tissue to wipe the blood off his neck. Then, he leaned lazily into his seat. With smiling upturned eyes, he looked extremely enchanting. “Well, I would really like to get to know you, Miss Newman.”
