Chapter 75

That means Christopher is alone in the apartment now? He must be quite lonely, especially on a holiday like this. Hailey thought.

Hailey pursed her lips slightly. “Are you at home now?

Christopher replied with a low hum. “I haven’t eaten yet. My leg’s been a little sore, so I don’t have much of an appetite for dinner.

“How can you skip dinner?” Hailey frowned. “Just stay at home, I’ll come over now”

“Now?” Christopher hesitated. “It’s quite late already, and it’s New Year’s Day. It might not be the best idea for you to go out

With that, she hung up.

Hailey smiled helplessly. “Isaac, do you think I’m that stupid? Going to a man’s house in the middle of the night? That would look bad on me. I’m going to ask Owen to accompany me.”

“You’re overthinking things, Isaac. Owen isn’t that petty or jealous,” Hailey said.

Isaac raised an eyebrow. “Anyway, Ive warned you. I don’t know about the matters between you two, but it’s fine as long as you think he won’t get angry. However, if it ends up affecting the Dalton family, I won’t let you off”

Although Isaac said this, Hailey knew he was just messing with her.

Owen would not bring trouble to the Dalton family, and Isaac would not do anything to her either.
