Chapter 219 Stepmother The sky was starry, and Gene’s eyes were sparkling when she talked about Hailey. Owen listened quietly. Gene had always been calm, self-controlled, and intelligent. She entered the Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation after
studying languages abroad. They barely communicated, so this was the first time she had spoken so much to him without concealing her admiration for Hailey. After talking for a long time, Gene was a little embarrassed, so she said with a flushed face, “I’m sorry, I forgot that you and Hailey are divorced. I want to turn to her for advice about translation. Will you mind it?” The corners of his mouth twitched lightly before he replied, “No.” Then he asked, “Are you still in touch with her?” Gene nodded, “Yeah. Last time we celebrated her birthday in the chatting group together. Hailey has always been nice to us…” She spoke faster than she thought.

I need to have a word with you.” Owen hooked his arm around Benson’s neck and drag him toward his yard. Benson reached out his hand and asked Gene for help, “Gene.” Owen needed to talk to him? Benson had a bad feeling. Gene looked at him helplessly and sighed, “The cat is out of the bag, and I can do nothing about it…”
