The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 73

Owen’s words stirred something deep in Hailey’s heart.

She lifted her gaze to meet his and said, “From now on, if you ever want to know anything, just ask me. I’ll tell you everything.”

Owen remarked, “I don’t need to know your secrets. I’ll wait for the day when you no longer feel the need to hide anything

from me.”

Hailey’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she asked, ‘Aren’t you afraid that I might be a bad person?”

Owen pondered for a moment before answering. Then I’ll be a bad person with you–one utterly beyond redemption.”

Hailey suddenly let out a small laugh. “Why are you so childish?”

“I’m being serious. How is that childish?” Owen asked, slightly annoyed by her teasing

“Alright, alright. Got it, you big kid.” Hailey continued laughing, but slowly, her smile faded. She hesitated for a moment before asking. “Owen, do you believe in people having previous timelines?”

Owen pondered for a moment, then nodded. “Logically, I know I shouldn’t. But in my heart… I do.”

The girl smiled faintly and said to herself, “I believe in that.”

She looked at Owen and added, “When I was 15, 1 had a dream–a dream so vivid it felt real. In that dream. I was weak and cowardly, always a target for others.

“I was foolish–so foolish that I never saw through the masks people wore. And then, when I turned 20, Selena locked me in a basement. Seven years passed. No one came for me. And in the end… I died”

Her tone was calm and indifferent, as if she were telling someone else’s story.

Hailey had skipped over many details. Owen could sense that there was much more she had not said.

“Was I in that dream?” Owen asked.

Hailey smiled. “Yes, you were. We crossed paths, but only as strangers. We never truly met, and in that dream. I never knew your story. So, Owen… in that dream, maybe you ended up with someone else. And my presence here now, maybe it’s just.

“No,” Owen answered with absolute certainty, holding her gaze. “I would never marry anyone else, Hailey. The only person I want to marry is the one I love. If the me in that dream never met you, then I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else.”

Hailey parted her lips slightly but hesitated to speak.
