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

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