Tm here to spend New Year’s Day with you, Hailey said. She was dressed in a pink down jacket and with a man’s scarf- clearly Owen’s–wrappeil around her neck, covering her face.

Owen took Hailey’s hand, his expression frosty and unreadable, emitting a clear aura of not wanting to be bothered.

Hailey smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling with warmth.

Christopher pursed his lips, offering a warm, yet restrained smile. “You really didn’t have to go to to much trouble”

“It’s no trouble at all. You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I’ll heat up some gnocchi for you. You two can go relax and watch TV while I cook, Hailey offered.

“Let us handle the gnocchi, you go sit and relax,” Owen said gently, looking at her, before glancing at Christopher. “Can you lend me a hand?”

Christopher nodded.

Hailey went into the living room to watch the New Year’s Day special broadcast, while the two men took over in the kitchen.

The apartment was warm thanks to the heating, so once they entered, Owen took off his coat and casually draped it over a

Owen went to the fridge, looked through its contents, and took out some vegetables.

Though Christopher no longer needed a wheelchair and could walk with crutches, he still used the wheelchair at home for convenience, as he was not supposed to exert himself too much yet.

“I’ll go get my crutches and help you wash the vegetables, Christopher said, turning his wheelchair to head outside.

Behind him, Owen’s voice came. “No need, I’m not about to ask someone with leg problems to help.

Christopher froze.

Owen’s tone was not mocking; he was simply stating a fact.

But it was exactly this that made Christopher feel even more uncomfortable.

He would rather Owen mock him.
