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

“It’s okay. Just wait at home,” Hailey said.

With that, she hung up.

“Are you going to see Christopher?” Isaac walked over, his brow slightly furrowed, his face showing clear disapproval. This might lead to misunderstandings.”

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.”

Isaac relaxed his furrowed brow. “Good.”

Hailey texted Owen before she asked, “By the way, Isaac, why did you tell me to be wary of Christopher just now?”

“Good,” Isaac smiled. “And one more thing, since you’re seeing Mr. Calhoun, you need to keep an appropriate distance from other men. This distance I’m talking about isn’t just friend–zoning him, but you really shouldn’t be alone with any other

“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.
