Chapter 167

Owen’s expression darkened slightly. He lowered his head, letting out a few cold laughs. “Is being with me really that

unbearable?”

Hailey bit her lip, took a deep breath, and said softly, “Owen, I really can’t be with you. Please let me go. These past two years… just consider it my fault, alright?”

She spoke in a resigned tone, almost as if negotiating with him.

Owen released her, his handsome, gentle face slowly freezing into an icy mask.

She was begging him… begging him to let her go…

Realizing this, Owen’s expression darkened, a hint of violent fury surfacing beneath his cool demeanor.

Hailey stood up from his lap, sensing the shift in his emotions. She instinctively took a few steps back.

“Are you afraid of me?” Owen asked from where he sat, his eyes dark and intense, locking onto her.

“I’m not,” Hailey replied, her voice instinctively quiet.

Owen stood up and slowly advanced toward her.

Hailey instinctively held her breath and stepped back, but she was backed against the desk. With nowhere else to retreat, she raised her hands to push against his broad shoulders. “Owen, calm down.”

“Why?” His voice was low, filled with confusion. “You still have feelings for me, Hailey. I can feel it.”

Hailey’s throat tightened, her breath coming in shallow gasps as her eyes began to redden. “Owen… I’m sorry…”

She still refused to give him the real reason.

Owen raised his hand, his long, pale fingers gently caressing Hailey’s face.

His gaze was dark, unreadable, as if lost in thought.

Owen thought to himself. ‘She really is a heartless woman.‘

She was truly planning to tell him nothing, using the excuse of not liking him to completely escape from him, from his world.

How could a woman like her even exist?

“Leave,” he muttered, releasing her and turning his back to her as he slowly walked toward the floor–to–ceiling windows.

“I’m not someone who likes to force people. Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t bother you again,” Owen’s voice became cold, distant, as if he were addressing a stranger.
