Hailey had heard the man's mutterings. She looked at Declan.
The dim streetlights cast a light on Declan's cold expression. When she looked at him in close quarters, Hailey could see a hint of youthfulness on his face.
He had been forced to grow up too soon, but he was only about her age. They were only in their first year of university and were still young.
He was expressionless and remained silent.
Hailey started, "You…"
Before she could finish her sentence, the weight on her shoulders lifted as Declan let go of her. He said coldly, "You forgot to take your things."
He had brought all of the supplements she had gifted them.
"There's no need for that. It's my gift to Mrs. Zamora to give her health a boost. I'm very grateful that you saved me."
Declan didn't say anything but strode away holding the supplements.
Hailey quickly followed him.
Hailey realized that Declan had led her out of the dark and wet alley to the main street outside. He called an Uber for her too opening the car’s back door and placing the supplements inside. He looked at her.
“Go home. Don’t come here again. I’ve already accepted your gratitude.”
Hailey felt her heart melt a little. She realized that underneath his cold exterior, he had a warm and passionate heart.
He had claimed her as his girlfriend before that man to protect her. He even walked in front of her to lead her out of the alleys and made sure she got into a car. That was his way of protecting her too.
This was how a man would protect a woman. But didn’t he think that she was ugly?
Ewan had never worried about Hailey’s safety before because he felt that she was protected by her ugliness. In his opinion, she was perfectly safe. Hailey obediently entered the car. “Goodbye, Declan.”
Ignoring her, Declan cumed and left.
Hailey leaned against the window to sneak glances at his retreating back. He took a turn and quickly disappeared into the dark alley,
Halley returned to the Lambert residence. Linda had made sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner too, and Hailey was quickly having seconds. “Linda, I want another serving.”

We getting somewhere with revelations...
Pls upload more chapters coz it’s not enough to be honest. But I’m thankful for the 4 chapters. Thanks! And author please let Celine have her justice and let those people who wronged her be punished. Pls, I am so invested in this and it’s so exhausting to read about Celine’s being bullied and hurt over and over again. Let Celine shine pls!!!🙏...
I knew it! Lucy poisoned them. But, It’s about time that the truth will prevail. Hope Adam would listen. I just hope that Carly and Lucy won't get a chance to interfere and stop Adam from finding out the truth! It’s time that Celine will get her justice and get back everything that’s belong to her especially her Identity. Whether Adam believes Celine, it’s up to him. But he’s a moron lol. I hate him from being so blind!...
I dont understand, why lucy hates celine so much? She is her daughter, biological daughter... Why she scemed against celine, as if she is her mortal enemy.....
Hopefully the truth comes out soon....
That’s just great! Let me guess, the truth won’t be revealed because Lucy and Carly poison those kidnappers and the doctors lol. In the end Adam will take Carly sides again lol! Same old same old....
