Love Is Fair by Kerri

Chapter 057 Would Love Disappear After hearing Owen out, Matthew was in a daze. He found it hard to believe. “You mean, Hailey married you and took care of you for three years to repay you? For your rescue in Groyfast?” Owen hummed. It should be the case. “My goodness.” Matthew came to his senses, but his eyes were still filled with astonishment. “This sounds dramatic. In modern times, a girl repays her benefactor through marrying him?” “It’s not all requital.” Owen’s eyebrows furrowed. For some unknown reason, he didn’t want to ascribe their marriage to requital. He then shared Ryker’s remark with his friend.

Matthew had his father’s tea to get over the shock. When Owen told him that Hailey had a crush on him for ten years, he spat out the tea. Old Mr. Holland, who got tea all over his face, was pissed off. He used his stick to drive his son out of the room.

Matthew rushed out and closed the door. He was still choked up. “For real?

Hailey had a crush on you for ten years? You’re not delusional, are you?”

Owen pursed his thin lips and said solemnly, “I’m not narcissistic, nor would I joke with such a thing.”

“That’s true. Still, it’s incredible.” Matthew returned to his room and poured himself a glass of wine. “So, you’ve got the answer. What are you going to do? I have to remind you that this may be just your speculation. Do you have

proof?”

“That’s where I need your help with.” Owen had planned to relearn the computer and looked into it himself. Now he could not wait any longer. He was dying to know the truth.

Matthew had a headache as he remembered Hailey’s computer skills that he had seen with his own eyes. “It’s not that I don’t want to help, but I may not necessarily beat that girl.”
