Chapter 48

“How so?” Hailey raised an eyebrow and asked.

“Other girls in this situation would have already thrown themselves into their boyfriend’s arms, whining and begging for a hug.” Owen lightly tapped her forehead and answered.

Hailey replied, “Is that your type? I can learn if you like.”

Owen’s interest was piqued, and he chuckled, “Go on, let me see you try”

Hailey cleared her throat, recalling how girls acted coquettishly in online videos.

Hailey’s face turned a deep shade of red at his teasing. She was left speechless, only managing to mutter under her breath, “Shameless.”

Owen grinned mischievously. “Why would I need shame when I have you?”

Hailey simply turned her back to him, ignoring him altogether.

Unbothered, Owen wrapped his arms around her from behind, pressing a soft kiss onto her hair. “Go to sleep,” he said.
