Chapter 37

Hailey glared at him, angrily saying. “You can’t just do this out in the open”

“Okay, got it,” Owen said, carrying the bags in one hand and pulling her gently with the other. He was tender and focused. “I couldn’t help myself just now. Can you forgive me?”

Hailey didn’t want to forgive him but she couldn’t really stay angry when he looked at her so gently. She felt like she was about to burst with happiness inside.

Pretending to be angry for just two seconds, she said solemnly, “Don’t do that again, and I’ll forgive you.”

“Okay, I promise,” Owen said, raising his eyebrows.

The two chatted and laughed on their way back to the villa.

For dinner, Owen helped as an assistant while Hailey was the head chef.

Since it was just the three of them, they didn’t prepare much–a soup, two meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, and two cold dishes. It was quite a feast.

After dinner, it was already late.

Hailey had given Christopher the precautions and the traditional medicine formula. Since the Blackwell family would come to pick him up the next day, he went back to his room early to rest.

Hailey packed up to leave.

Owen asked her to wait for a moment and then went upstairs.

Hailey waited in the living room.

Two minutes later, there was a clap of thunder outside, followed by pouring rain.
