Chapter 168

Upon entering the private room. Hailey handed the menu to Finley first.

Finley ordered a few dishes before passing the menu back to her.

(+58)

After they had finished ordering. Finley looked at the young woman in front of him and slowly took a deep breath. “Hailey, I’m sorry.”

Hailey had grown much colder and more mature after regaining her memories. During the past two years, although she had been distant, there were still moments when she showed a bit of her girlish innocence, even acting a little spoiled at times, especially around him.

But now, Hailey had become someone who treated him like an elder to be respected, not as a father.

It saddened Finley.

“Father, this isn’t your fault,” Hailey said, her voice quiet and distant. “You don’t need to worry about the situation here. I’ve already taken care of it.”

Finley looked at her, his gaze softening as he sighed. “You’re nothing like Valerie. You’re far more independent than your mother ever was.”

“Really?” Hailey gave a faint, indifferent smile, not showing much emotion.

Your mother was gentle by nature, always polite and courteous, and she treated everyone with kindness. She had an innocent naïveté about her,” Finley said, his voice gentling when he spoke about Valerie. “Back then, she was like a delicate, radiant rose, needing care and protection.”

Hailey remained silent, not interrupting him.

Finley continued for a while, but noticing that Hailey didn’t seem interested, he let out a quiet sigh and fell silent.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that, after all this, Hailey had become even more distant than before.

He had failed her.

Finley thought, “This time, the rift between Hailey and me will likely remain for good!

The room fell into a heavy silence.

The waiter entered, placing the dishes on the table. The two of them ate for a while, and about ten minutes later, Raphael arrived at the private room.

Raphael’s arrival seemed to ease Finley’s tension.

“Finley, long time no see,” Raphael said with a smile, walking over to lightly hug Finley.
