The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 177

Despite the heavy rain, neither of them canceled their plans to meet.

At exactly 4 p.m., Hailey and Owen arrived at the restaurant they had booked.

Hailey waited for two minutes before Owen arrived. Perhaps he got caught in the rain when he got out of the car, as his suit jacket was damp.

Hailey grabbed a tissue and wiped the water off his jacket before removing it and setting it aside. “How come you didn’t bring an umbrella?”

Owen sat down beside her and smiled. “I forgot.”

The waiter came in, and they both ordered their meals before he left.

Today, Owen was unusually quiet, almost as if he sensed something was off.

Hailey didn’t want to sit in silence the whole time, so she decided to break the ice by chatting about the events of the day, rambling on about trivial matters.

There wasn’t much to say, just small talk, but as she spoke, Owen felt a sense of peace wash over him. Her voice was comforting, the perfect antidote to the silent tension.

The food arrived quickly. Since it was just the two of them, they didn’t order much–just enough not to waste.

Hailey was starving, having barely eaten anything for lunch, so she dug in immediately.

Owen focused on serving her, picking up food for her without saying much.

By the time they were nearly done, Hailey lazily set down her fork and leaned back, gazing at Owen’s handsome profile.

“Owen,” she said, propping her head on her hand.

He hummed softly and reached up to touch her hair, his smile gentle. “What’s up?”

Hailey squinted at him, a heavy sigh escaping her as she threw herself into his arms.

Owen lightly patted her back. “If you want to say something, just say it.”

Hailey stayed quiet for a moment, then softly said, “My father came back to Wothaland. He talked to me about something today.”

“Did he ask you to break up with me?” Owen asked gently.

Hailey looked up at him, nodding slightly. “How did you know?”

Owen rubbed her head fondly. “I’m not stupid.”
