Scarlett was a carefree, optimistic person, and Hailey felt at ease with her. They laughed, shared stories, and before long, it was already 5 p.m.

Scarlett went to pay the bill while Hailey crossed the street to grab a coffee.

Despite the crowd, she recognized him instantly. It was Owen.

He stood there with his usual impassive expression, and Richard seemed to be talking to him.

It had only been a week, but to Hailey, it felt like a century had passed.

When they hadn’t seen each other, she could barely sleep, thinking of him, dreaming of him, but now, seeing him in person made her realize just how madly she missed him.

She wanted to rush to him, to embrace him, kiss him, and let herself bask in his affection.

Her feet almost moved on their own.

Suddenly, Hailey stopped in her tracks and stared at him, frozen.

A figure emerged from the restaurant where she and Scarlett had just dined. She recognized him immediately.

It was Parker.

Today, Owen was finally meeting him, and today they would officially acknowledge each other as father and son.

Hailey’s eyes dimmed.

All her chaotic thoughts were instantly shattered.
