Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Humble and Affectionate Ex-Husband

When it was about noon, Hailey helped Owen sit up, set the small table, and served the dishes. Owen looked at the hearty meal and

smiled. To her eyes, his smile was awkward and weird. She had opened his skull but had not done anything to his brain. Why did he keep

smiling?

“What are you smiling about?”

Owen looked up at her. “Doesn’t this feel Déjà vu?”

Huh? Hailey was puzzled but soon realized what he was talking about. It was true. A few days ago, she was the patient, and he visited her

with a lunchbox. Now it was the other way around.

Hailey laughed bitterly, “What a bad year! Both of us end up in the hospital.”

The word “us” made Owen’s heart tremble. He stared at her unblinkingly. His dark, deep eyes were twinkling.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there rice on my face?” Hailey gave him no chance to hit on her. She handed the knife and fork to

him before saying, “Dig in.”

“Oh,” Owen clutched the fork like an obedient kid and asked, “Have you eaten?”

“Yeah, go ahead with your dinner,” she replied.

When he finished his meal, Hailey cleaned the table and took out the garbage. Owen stopped her, “You can leave the work to the nursing

workers.

“It’s alright. I’ve done such work before.”

Although Hailey was pampered, she had done chores, and she was efficient. Owen watched her clean the room deftly. Bitterness rose from the bottom of his heart. It was true. She did all kinds of chores when she was taking care of him back then. Not to mention taking

out the garbage and sweeping the floor, she had even emptied the urinal for him and massaged him.

It took great love for her to look after him like an indefatigable nanny. Unfortunately, he was immersed in his sorrow and worries back

then. He was discouraged and pessimistic, hurting those around him. He failed to feel her kindness, affection, and devotion. He took

everything for granted.

Looking back, he felt ashamed of himself. How much she was disappointed that she signed the papers without hesitation when he filed

for divorce! Love should not be spoiled or squandered. He should have understood that long ago.

“Hailey.” Owen grabbed her hand that was sweeping the floor and gazed at her. “Stop the work. I want you here to keep me company rather

than serve me.”

Hailey looked at him strangely. “What do you want me to do?”

“Nothing, you can go ahead with your business. I’m content to have you in sight.”

Hailey felt helpless. His humble and affectionate stance was a bit too much for her. People would think that he was crazy about her. Then

again, she was glad to stop cleaning and go ahead with her business.

She had asked Chris to clean up an area for her to work here. Although she was not in Poya, she still needed to get busy. It was the same
