“You…” Hailey finally found her voice after what felt like an eternity. She swallowed hard and continued, “Why go through all this trouble?

“Owen, you’re the head of the Calhoun family, and every lady from the wealthy families in Hallon City dreams of marrying you. I’m just a nobody from a backwater town with an empty reputation. Why put so much effort into me? I’m not worth

it…”

Her voice was hoarse.

“Whether you’re worth it is for me to decide, not you,” Owen said gently, taking her hand in his. His eyes were deep and tender. “Others are others; you are you. To me, you’re one of a kind.”

Hailey blinked slowly, her eyes turning red, her throat choked up with unspoken words.

“Maybe my kindness toward you seems sudden, and we haven’t known each other long. Being nice to you so suddenly might feel fake to you, but Hailey, when it comes to feelings, I’ve always trusted my instincts.”

Owen added slowly, his voice soothing, “I don’t know what you’ve gone through that makes you so guarded, but I’ll take my time getting closer to you.

“I can’t bring myself to say too many sweet things because they might come off as just empty words. So, I prepared these two documents overnight. As soon as you sign them, they’ll take effect immediately.”

“No need.” Hailey sniffed, her smile becoming serene. Her eyes, having cried, shone even brighter, as if washed clean by tears. “If you can do all this for me, I can also step out of my psychological impacts for you.

“Owen, as you wish, let’s give it a try.”

At three in the afternoon, Owen dropped Hailey off at the villa.

Christopher was a perceptive person. Lately, he had felt that the relationship between Owen and Hailey was somewhat stiff and strange, not quite like that of a normal couple.

But today, as soon as they appeared together, he noticed a change.

Owen and Hailey walked in hand–in–hand, standing close, occasionally exchanging glances. The air was filled with sweetness, completely different from before.

‘It seems they had a misunderstanding before, but they’ve made up now,‘ Christopher thought inwardly.

The items Hailey had ordered had arrived, and today would be the first treatment for Christopher.

“What do I need to do?” Christopher asked nervously as he lay flat on the bed.
