Chapter 184

Hailey handed him the agent’s phone number.

Owen furrowed his brow, then as if remembering something, said, “Wait a moment”

He took out his phone and walked aside to make a call. “The apartment on Méliwick Route has been rented out?”

Hailey pressed her lips together, offering a smile. “It’s fine. I didn’t realize this was your property. Don’t worry, I’ll be moving out soon and find somewhere else to stay.”

“It doesn’t matter who rents it. Since you’ve already found this place, it seems like fate. No need to keep searching for another,” Owen replied coldly, his voice devoid of emotion.

Hailey paused, glancing at him. She couldn’t quite understand what he meant by that.

She thought it best that they not have any more connections, even as landlord and tenant.

After a brief moment of thought, she said, “No, I’ll be looking for another place to live soon.”
