Chapter 238 Spend Valentine’s Day Together
The moment she saw Owen, the cold wind blew past, and she was
dazed. She suddenly remembered those days when he was
paralyzed. Back to work at Mazedew Group, he had been very
busy and traveled around the world, but no matter how late it was,
she would go to pick him up at the airport. She was worried about his health since he had just recovered.
Given his mental condition, she was afraid he could not adapt to
such heavy work. Unfortunately, Owen couldn’t feel her concern.
Neither had he wanted her to pick him up.
Then she had to wait at home. Back then, there was one romantic
drama on almost every TV channel. Sitting in the living room, she
watched the actress mutter in tears, “Do you know what it feels
like to wait all night?”
Her face would be smeared with tears probably because of the
actress’ great performance or the sad lines. That was the first
time Hailey had shed tears since her parents passed away. Back
then, she found her nominal marriage was even sadder than the
drama.
She was a rich lady of the modern era, but her life was no better
than those consorts in feudal times who would be occasionally
favored by the emperor. She hadn’t imagined that Owen would
divorce her one day. Neither had she thought that he came to pick
her up at the airport after they were divorced. Her state of mind had changed. From Mrs. Moore who cared
nothing except for her husband, she turned back to Ms. Newman
who only cared about her career and making money. How ironic!
While she was in a trance, Owen came over and said naturally,
“You’re here.”
Like her guardian angels, Ryan and Brook stepped forward from
behind her and looked askance at Owen. Their eyes were icy cold. Unlike the two hostile men, Hailey gracefully reached out her hand
and said, “Mr. Moore, long time no see.” Owen’s face froze. It had been just a couple of days since they last
met. Why did her attitude turn so polite and distant? He shook hands with her and greeted her softly, “Ms. Newman.”
Hailey quickly drew her hand back and introduced everyone to him,
“Mr. Moore, you know Mr. Kirkland, and this is Dr. Sears from
Fenneth. He came to North City for a private matter.”
Owen nodded to Brook and extended his hand toward Ryan. “Dr.
Sears, I’ve heard so much about you.”
Ryan’s hands were hanging on his sides. He showed no intention
of stretching them out and just said blandly, “I’ve seen you before.
You’were on crutches, and Hailey looked at you anxiously from
behind, ready to support you at any moment. Looks like you’ve
fully recovered.” Owen felt a stream of coldness in his heart, perhaps because the
wind was chilly at the airport. His hands and feet went numb, and
his face turned ashen. He silently drew his hand back, forced a
smile, and looked down at Hailey. “Yeah, thanks to Hailey’s
attention and care.”
The last thing Hailey wanted was to bring up the past. She looked
away, helped Jason come down the stairs, went out of North City
airport, and got into the van prepared by Owen. Owen arranged a five-star hotel under Mazedew Group for Jason,
but the old man didn’t want to stay in the hotel. Instead, he headed
to Donald’s place. He was eager to meet his old friend and see
that pile of broken jade. After taking the old man to the place, Hailey said goodbye to
Donald, left the bodyguards there, and went back to the car. She
