Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

Chapter 69 A Good Opportunity to Approach Her

Irving’s POV:

+8 Pearls

I noticed that Hayley seemed downcast, and I thought this might be a good opportunity to approach her. I asked, “So, any plans for the weekend?”

She glanced at me and replied, “No, not really.”

I suggested, “I heard a new equestrian club opened up on the west side of town. How about we go horseback riding together?”

Hayley shook her head, rejecting the idea. “Nah. Not a fan of horse riding.”

“Okay, how about catching a movie? There’s a comedy that just came out, and it’s getting good reviews.”

Hayley looked a bit surprised at my offer.

“Irving, you …” Before she could finish, I quickly interrupted her, “Don’t get me wrong; I’m just worried you might feel bored over the weekend. Plus, it’s what George suggested–we should keep you company.”

“No, thanks. I can manage on my own.”

Her refusal was clear, and it dawned on me that I might have been too eager. I was rushing things. “Alright, if you have thoughts of anywhere you’d like to go, just let me know, and I’ll take you.”

Hayley nodded slightly. I felt a slight sense of relief.

As I drove her home, we ran into Benjamin at the foot of the stairs. He was coming down just as we reached the top. Hayley greets him first.

Benjamin shot me a long, unreadable look before turning to Hayley and saying, “Grandpa is looking for you just now. If you have time, you should see him in the study.”

Hayley thanked him and said, “Got it. I’ll head there now.”

With that, she headed upstairs to the study.
