The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 72

She still has the cheek to say that I’m domineering?‘ Owen thought.

Owen was so angered, he nearly lost control.

“Hailey’s been doing something so dangerous behind my back and now she wants to end things? If I don’t take a stronger stance, she’ll just keep doing whatever she wants, he thought.

Hailey took a deep breath and said coldly. “We’re not compatible. Let’s break up

“In what ways are we incompatible?” Owen smiled lightly, raising his hand and loosening the collar of his shirt, revealing his exquisite collarbone and a particularly sensual Adam’s apple.

He sat on his side and his gaze landed on her face. Owen, usually calm and composed, exuded a captivating allure tonight, a hint of mischief embedded in his very being.

He asked, “Is it the size that’s wrong?”

Hailey was taken aback. She looked up at Owen in disbelief, unable to process that he had just said something so inappropriate.

But combined with his noble and cold expression, the words strangely did not feel vulgar.

Hailey was momentarily speechless. She shot a furious glare at Owen and spat out, “Pervert!”

With that, she quickly opened the car door, trying to leave.

But before she could, Owen’s grip tightened around her wrist, pulling her back effortlessly. A smirk played on his lips. “Alright, alright, I’ll stop messing with you.”

Hailey’s cheeks puffed up in frustration, making her look adorably fierce

Owen, knowing how easily flustered she was, had purposely said those things just to lighten the mood.

“Why do you want to break up?” he asked seriously.

As the flush on Hailey’s face gradually faded, she lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.

Hailey exhaled slowly, her eyes meeting Owen’s with quiet determination. “I don’t let people affect me like this. But you make my heart uneasy, you disturb my peace. And that terrifies me. One day, I might lose all sense of reason because of you.
