Chapter 12

After the banquet, Owen personally drove Hailey home.

Selena watched the man, who usually didn’t even spare her a glance, show meticulous care for Hailey, biting her lip fiercely out of anger.

“Selena, will Mother really marry me off to the Blackwell family?” Eliza asked worriedly beside her.

Selena, fuming, snapped back impatiently, “How would I know? None of my business, and then she left.

Eliza clenched her fists, glared at Selena’s back, and spat on the ground fiercely.

As soon as she got in the car, Hailey felt the cold aura of the man beside her envelop her whole body.

She frowned slightly, moved a bit away, and said to Owen, “Thanks today.”

Owen looked at her with his beautiful, finely shaped eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, revealing a breathtaking smile. “You’re welcome. After all, you’re my woman.”

She swallowed hard, shifted her gaze to the window, and distracted herself with another topic. “If you need me to do anything, just say it.”

Owen thought for two seconds before replying, “Next Friday’s my grandma’s birthday. I need your help.”

Then, he added, “She’s getting on in years and has been hoping I’d get someone to take care of me soon.”

“Alright, got it.” Hailey nodded.

Owen lowered his head and curved his lips slightly, remaining silent.

‘She’s not being honest,” he said inwardly.
