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?”

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

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