Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 36

Chapter 036 The Gossip About Herself

Although it might have happened in a fraction of a second, Hailey was completely able to avoid the disaster.

But before she could dodge, a big hand tugged at her hard. Her whole body rolled uncontrollably in the opposite direction, and her nose firmly hit the person’s firm chest. It was sore and painful, and she almost spat out tears.

Owen was very strong. In the spur of the moment, he didn’t hold back and

pressed Hailey heavily into his embrace. Half of Hailey’s face was pressed against his chest, and she could hear his heartbeat exploding in her ears.

This feeling was unfamiliar.

Hailey was stunned for a moment.

She had been married to Owen for three years, and he had never taken the

initiative to touch her physically. This was the first time she had had such close contact with him.

Hailey had once imagined what it would feel like to be held in Owen’s embrace one day. She thought it would be sweet, but she didn’t expect it to be sour. She

thought his embrace was cuddly and soft, but she didn’t expect it to be incomparably hard! Had he been going to the gym? Why was his chest muscles so hard?!

Hailey rubbed her sore nose. She was thankful that she didn’t have a nose job,

or she would have to go back to redo it. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…” The staff member was frightened, knowing that he

almost hurt someone, and apologized profusely.

Owen said seriously, “Be careful next time.”

Although the staff did not know who Owen was, he could tell that he was a big shot who was used to being a boss, judging from his attire and his imposing manner. The staff nodded repeatedly and retreated.

Hailey endured the sour and painful sensation with great difficulty. When the

staff left, only the two of them were left backstage, and the atmosphere suddenly became eerily silent.

The two stood silently, maintaining their posture, and it finally dawned upon

them, albeit awkwardly. They were standing extremely close to each other, their bodies touching. The hardness of a man and the softness of a woman were tightly pressed together. The combination of the scents of cold fir and rose carried a fatal and lustful danger! The two of them felt as if a lightning suddenly struck them from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet. Feeling the sensation, they trembled, froze, and then separated! Hailey subconsciously hugged her chest, while Owen retracted his fingertips. Even the tips of their ears were red.

The atmosphere seemed to become a little awkward again.

Hailey closed her eyes, wondering if she should find her composure and slap

him, who took advantage of her.

On second thought, he seemed to have hugged her just now to save her… He should have earned himself a compliment for his selfless action instead of a slap in the face, right?

At this moment, her imagination ran wild, but Owen did not have such a complicated mind. After the embarrassment faded, he quickly recovered his serious face and jeered, “Why are you so careless? How could you stand in the middle of the path? What if the cabinet really fell on you?”

His voice was cold and indifferent. She couldn’t hear a hint of concern in his

tone but only reprimand.

Hailey, who had never been scolded since she was a child, immediately retorted, “Sir, if you hadn’t gotten in my way, I would have avoided it. Thank you for your “help’, but not all women are damsels in distress who need protections from men all the time.”

Owen frowned.
