Chapter 152

The atmosphere grew thick with tension.

Hailey gave a quiet hum, her voice steady but cold. “I don’t like you anymore.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, the line went dead. Hailey glanced at her phone, realizing the call had ended abruptly.

She sank back onto the sofa, letting out a weary sigh. Her gaze shifted to the two meals in front of her. With a resigned frown, she decided to turn her frustration into appetite, finishing both orders in one sitting.

A knock echoed through the room after tossing the empty containers into the trash.

Hailey rose and went to the door, only to find a man standing there, his eyes cold as ice, his lips pressed tightly together. There was a hint of red at the corners of his eyes.

The man’s gaze locked onto hers, and in the split second she hesitated, he was already inside, pulling her tightly into his

arms.

“Owen,” she murmured, her hand instinctively pushing against his chest as she frowned. “What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you? I don’t like you anymore.”

He remained silent, his expression clouded with anger and frustration.

Without a word, he swept her in his arms, carrying her straight to the bedroom.

Hailey’s heart skipped a beat as panic set in. She looked at his handsome profile, her hands pushing against him in a flurry. “Calm down, Owen!”

Now, hearing her declare she no longer liked him, it was something he couldn’t accept.

His dominant nature flared up instantly, and he knew he had to make her understand. Owen thought, ‘Whether she or not, she would always be mine.‘

With a stoic expression, he reached out, gripping her chin firmly. His voice was ice cold. “I’m perfectly calm.”

Hailey bit her lip, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.
