Chapter 174

Hailey smiled and said, “No need for that. It’s too early, and I might not even be awake by then?

Owen raised an eyebrow, “Then call me tomorrow when you wake up.”

Hailey nodded in agreement and was about to open the car door to leave when Owen suddenly yanked her back, a frown on his face. “You don’t even feel bad about leaving me? Hailey, have you stopped loving me?”

Hailey was momentarily stunned. “Owen, why are you acting so childish?”

It had only been two years without contact. How had Owen become such a different person?

She reached up and playfully rubbed his handsome face, teasing, “Have you been possessed? Come on, tell me, who are you really?”

Owen swatted her hand away, looking frustrated. “No sense of fun.”

Hailey couldn’t hold back a laugh. “You’re such a fool. I’ll call you tomorrow. I’m going now”

Owen pulled her back again, holding her tightly and kissing her passionately before letting her go.

Hailey rolled her eyes at him, feeling a bit exasperated, and touched her swollen lips, sighing inwardly. How was she supposed to go back now?

Dalton Mansion was quiet when she arrived. Hailey glanced at the time–Thomas was probably taking his afternoon nap.

She was about to tiptoe up to her room when someone called her name.

It was Isaac, hiding in the kitchen.

“Why are you here?” Hailey hurried downstairs.

Isaac was busy making oatmeal, wearing an apron and looking like the perfect homemaker.

He said, “Grandpa hasn’t had much of an appetite lately, so I’m making some oatmeal for him. Don’t you have class today?”

The news of Hailey’s three–day hospital stay hadn’t been spread to anyone else. She had kept it quiet to avoid worrying them, so she just nodded.

Isaac asked, “Have you had lunch yet? If not, we can eat together.”
