Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 A Candy for a Kiss Owen’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he felt a little lost in thought. Was she going to have a birthday soon? Noticing her son’s blank face, Polly immediately became unpleasant. Her long, thin eyebrows arched and she scolded, “You can’t even remember Hailey’s birthday. Is that how you pursue a girl? Are you dumb or what?” Owen’s thin lips pursed into a line. Polly continued, “You guys always talk about love. But it’s just self-soothing. Love isn’t about words. It’s about action. If you don’t do it, you won’t get it.” Owen looked down and his voice was low, “I know. I’ll prepare a birthday present for Hailey.” “I’ve already prepared it for you.” Polly took the present with her and gestured for Winnie behind her to hand up the present box to him. Owen took two steps forward and reached out to take it. When he opened the box, he was shocked by the burning bright light inside the box and squinted slightly. Inside the box, there was a brooch in the shape of a small daisy. In the center of the flower, there was a gold and emerald opal, which was emitting a dazzling light. Owen’s pupils shrank and he looked up, “Mother, I remember this opal is one of your favorites.” That opal was an extremely rare and precious gemstone, which was comparable to fine emeralds and rubies. Polly came across it by chance and spent a lot of money on it. She had kept it carefully, and not even worn it on many important occasions. Now Polly had given it to her son, And she didn’t seem to be reluctant at all. “Well, great collections are collected for a reason. The opal has always been a symbol of good luck. I hope it can bring you good luck. Wish you success in winning Hailey’s heart.” After giving the stuff, lecturing and giving her blessing, Polly was pushed away by Winnie. Owen looked at his mother’s back and then . looked down at the beautiful opal brooch. He was overwhelmed by a complicated feeling. “Poor parents.” Old Mr. Moore came to Owen Moore’s side at some point and said, ‘The whole family is helping you to win Hailey’s heart. Don’t let us down.”

Matthew still couldn’t avoid being thrown out. It was raining. The cold rain was slapping Matthew’s face, and he wiped the rain from his face and sighed. It seemed that he couldn’t persuade Hailey to lend him her egg. Then perhaps he had only one way to go. After all, he was more experienced than Owen in pursuing a woman. ‘Owen, please do not blame me for that. Your ex-wife is so good. I really have a crush on her.’

Hailey was in a really bad mood at the moment because of Matthew’s visit and his absurd requirement. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were working together on a horse farm project, she would have had the intention to kill him. She just didn’t understand why all the men in the world were so self-conscious and arrogant. ‘Where are the good guys?’ There must have been something wrong. Chris knocked on the door, “Miss Newman, it’s raining outside. Do you still want to go to Savory Restaurant tonight?” Hailey remembered that she had promised Jeremy to go to the restaurant to check out his dishes. She took a look at the time, and said, “Yeah. Get the car ready.” “Okay.” It was the rainy season in Poya City, and the air was humid. On their way to the restaurant, the rain became heavier. Bean-sized raindrops hit the top of the car, creating a crackling noise. Even the sharp sound of the horn had been reduced by the rain. The car went slowly at the Poyaland Lane. Without umbrellas, many pedestrians were running hurriedly. They rushed silently, disheveled. Hailey had never liked rainy days. Whenever it rained, she couldn’t go out and have fun. She was locked in her room by her mother, practicing the piano or reading boringly, with only the sound of wind and rain as her companion. Now no one forced her to learn this or that anymore. But she suddenly missed those days. It was a blessing to be governed by someone. Though the ventilator on the car was on, she still felt stuffy. Hailey pulled down the window a little, and the rain seeped in. She felt the air was watery because of the rain. Meanwhile, she heard a loud baby cry.

Across a railing, a mother was holding her baby, and probably trying to get across the road. But somehow she fell to the ground. The baby also fell out of her arms, and she cried out, “Ah”. The car horn sounded harsh, and the driver poked his head out the window and exclaimed, “Watch out! Are you crazy?” Hailey’s eyebrows knitted slightly. When she just intended to get off the car, she saw a figure coming over. He got over the railing, picked the child up, and handed an umbrella to the mother. He held the child and helped the mother to get across the street, and he gently reassured her, “Madame, it’s raining. We’d better not

break the traffic law. And never forget to take the crosswalk. Otherwise, it is easy to cause traffic accidents and get yourself hurt.” Though the voice was not clear in the rain, Hailey immediately recognized who he was. The young man wore a white shirt with a pair of light blue jeans, tall and slender. His clothes had been wet, but he still had that bright and warm smile on his face. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the lears on the little girl’s face, gently coaxed her. And he somehow took a large milk candy from his trouser pocket. The original crying little girl immediately stopped crying and stretched out her little hand to grab the candy. But he badly raised the candy higher, “Well, you can’t get it for free.” The little girl’s hand was too short to grab, She pursed her lips and gave him a kiss.

Hailey’s evebrows trembled. The young man’s handsome face obviously stiffened for a moment. His face turned red because of shyness. He raised his hand and wipe his cheeks, hurried to give the little girl the milk candy in his hand. He then gave the little girl back to her mother and ran away. Looking at the hastily fleeing figure, Hailey didn’t hold back her joy. The corners of her lips curled up highly. The depressed mood because of the rain seemed to have gone because of this rain drama just now. “Jeremy has the potential to be a comedian.” She teasingly said.

The car finally arrived at the restaurant. Hailey stepped inside. Jeremy was using a towel to wipe his hair. He was complaining jokingly, “No wonder my sister said that boys must protect themselves when they go out. I was teased by a three-year-old girl just now.” Hailey laughed, “She just wanted the candy. You are the one that started this.” Jeremy’s body stiffened and he turned around. He saw Hailey with a bright smile. He was stunned, and his ears turned red again, with a hint of nervousness, “Hailey, did you see what happened just now?”:
