The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 197

Owen puffed up his cheeks, furious, to the point where he didn’t want to speak.

Hailey, unfazed, watched him with a smirk, tilting her head. “So, what do you want for dinner tonight?”

Owen said nothing, still sulking.

“How about beef, chicken, pumpkin soup, and some greens–well–balanced, you know?” Hailey patiently tried to appease him.

Owen barely glanced at her, muttering a reluctant, “Fine.”

Hailey stood up, smiling. “Alright, I’ll go prepare dinner.”

Immediately, Owen’s face darkened. “Why not just have someone else make it?”

Hailey laughed softly. “Mr. Calhoun, didn’t you say you wanted to eat food made by me? Why the change of heart?”

Owen grunted in irritation. “I don’t care. Right now, you’re staying here with me.”

“Well, then, your dinner’s not going to happen,” she teased.

“We can always order takeout,” Owen suggested nonchalantly, despite being someone who usually cared deeply about his diet.

Hailey chuckled. “Alright, I’ll stay a little longer. At three o’clock, I’ll go get dinner ready.”

Owen grudgingly agreed. He tossed the blanket aside, patted the space beside him on the bed, and raised an eyebrow. “Come here.”

Unable to resist, Hailey walked over.

And just like that, she nearly found herself caught up in something she hadn’t planned for.

Hailey flung the blanket off in frustration, storming off the bed.

Owen lay there, looking innocent, his fair skin glowing under the dim light. His eyes, glazed with desire, met hers, and his shirt was half undone, revealing a toned chest that was too tempting to ignore.

It was enough to make anyone blush just by looking.

Hailey opened the window, letting in the cool night air to clear her head.

Taking several deep breaths, she turned to face Owen. Her voice was sharp as she pointed at him. “The doctor said you can’t do anything too strenuous right now. Do you want your back to tear open again?”

She was on the verge of losing her patience.

Owen looked up at her with innocent eyes. “I didn’t mean to. I just couldn’t help myself.”

******

Hailey held back a smile, her pale cheeks flushing slightly. She kept her tone serious as she replied, “Anyway, until you’re discharged, I refuse to get close to you.”

“Hailey,” he whined, his voice almost childish.
