Chapter 375 Owen’s Ex-wife Was so Scary

Sofia's beautiful face blushed, like a delicate blooming rose. She nodded, “He confessed to me, and I accepted."

‘Congratulations.’ Hailey's eyes flashed with surprise. She had thought that Jared would pursue Sofia for many years. After all, the family backgrounds of the two were indeed very different. Hailey put the dumplings in, put the lid on the pot. Hailey started to ask gossip, “What did my brother do and impressed you, a straight woman?"

‘‘Well, you are a really straight woman." Sofia refuted, and then replied shyly, "He didn't do anything special. I never disliked him, but our family didn’t recognize him, which made me a little more worried. But what I like is him, I have to accept everything about him, including his family background. We face it together, and we can always solve it. He is so brave, and I can't shrink back, and I can't lose to him.”

The magnanimity and sincerity Sofia treated affection with made Hailey think of herself before.

Sofia lowered her eyes. Actually, Owen's death this time has had a great impact on me. Our life is really too short, and I have such a profession, and I am destined to live in danger. Who knows how long I can live? It is better to seize the happiness of the present."

Hailey smiled wryly, "You are right."

“Hailey." Sofia hugged Hailey from behind, leaned her chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "Owen definitely hopes that you will be well, and so do we."

"I know." Hailey said softly, "I will live a good life, not for anyone, but for myself.” There was a good line in a TV series, "When I come to this world, I just want to live a good life.’

The two close friends were whispering, and when Jared saw the two hugging each other from a long distance, his eyes were wide open, "Hey, what are you doing!"

He walked over and forcibly pulled Sofia away from Hailey, and pulled Sofia to his side.

"Is it reasonable to hug together?” He looked dissatisfied. He didn't dare to scold Sofia, but only scold Hailey, "Who allowed you to hug my girlfriend?" He didn't even hug her too much.

Hailey looked at Jared who was jealous speechlessly, “Sofia is my friend, and what's wrong with hugging her?"

‘‘It's not allowed. Jared domineeringly embraced Sofia, "This is mine, and it will not be lent."

Hailey was speechless and thought Jared was very childish.

Sofia pressed her face against Jared’s chest, and smiled, "Then I can hug Hailey.’

It is not allowed either." Jared looked down at Sofia, "Don't hug my sister, and you can only hug me.”

Tsk tsk. Everyone let out a sound of “Huh----- ", the sour smell of love was really unbearable. Hailey came in time this time, and they finally ate the dumplings tonight.

Dumplings were served plate by plate, and Hailey cooked a few more dishes, so a sumptuous Thanksgiving family feast came out. Today people were exceptionally here, Jared and his girlfriend, Sofia, Randal and Ashely, Kyle and Nicholas, Ava and her finance Chris. They were all a couple. While, Karl, Brook and Hailey formed a trio of singles. Well, there was also an old bachelor, Jason.

Brook looked at the couples on the opposite side who were feeding each other with food, and couldn't help but “suck”, No, I want to have a girlfriend! I don't want to watch others’ appreciation again!"

Hailey was putting the redundant dumplings into Karl's plate, and said, Didn't brothers of the Kirkland family arrange a lot of blind dates for you, and didn't you fall in love with them?”

Forget it. Those young ladies are all coquettish and hypocritical, I can't afford to take care of them." Brook said, “How about I go to North City with you to look for her? Anyway, you went to North City, and I staying in Poya City alone is not interesting, I might as well go with you.”

“Accompany me?" Hailey didn't believe it, ‘‘You want to fool around with Bob and Benson, right?”

“Not fooling around, it's so harsh. We are good friends, okay?" Brook said seriously.

Karl said, You can go and take care of Hailey, I can rest relieved."

“Okay.” After Karl had spoken, Brook didn't ask Hailey, and just went to North City with her. Hailey had no objection, and Brook could go if he wanted. She went to the two places. North City was not too far from Poya City.

All the dumplings on the table were eaten, and everyone was so stuffed that they went for a walk in the garden together to digest.

Hailey didn't eat much tonight, but she drank a lot, and her head was drunk. She had to catch a plane tomorrow, so she had to go to bed early today. She went upstairs shaking her head, and suddenly remembered something, so she turned her head to say to Karl, Brother, when you accompany Mr. Yerkes, you can chat with him, which will help him recover his consciousness. If anything special happens, please let me know as soon as possible.”

Karl blinked his blue eyes slightly, and said, “Okay.”

“Good night, brother."

“Good night.”

After saying goodnight to each other, Hailey went into the bathroom with a heavy head, took a simple shower, and packed her luggage. She had a special luggage for business trips, which contains clothes and daily necessities, so she didn't need to take great effort to pack it every time. She just needed to add something. Hailey came to the closet, fumbled for a switch, and pressed it lightly. There was a hidden hole behind the closet, which was a sealed storage room with many treasures in it. And the things Owen sent were basically here. Porcelain plates, antique porcelain, an opal brooch, and the painting "Mona Lisa".

When did he give her all these things?

She didn't open many of the presents in Grace Residence in North City. She had used to give him many gifts, and later he gave her many gifts. A person who didn't understand love, but always learned her way to return these loves’ to her. She didn't dare to look back on some things, because she couldn't even explain clearly, how could things have turned into what they were today.

After closing the storage room, Hailey went back to the bedroom, opened the drawer, and there was a hairpin that was broken in two. The blood on it was not completely wiped off, seeping into the grain of the wood. Hailey rubbed the hairpin for a while, and the image of Owen lying on the stretcher flashed in her eyes, and her heart felt cold. She put the hairpin in a long box and put it in her bag.

Next day, after breakfast, brothers left the Garden of Rose with their families. Hailey prepared to go to the airport with Jason,

Brook, and Patrick. The plane went straight to North City. Jose arrived at the exit early and waited. He waved at them from a long distance away. "Ms. Newman, the journey must be hard."

Jose took the luggage from Hailey courteously, and asked with a smile, "Should we go back to the Moores’ old residence or Century Mansion first?" Autumn had already arrived, but the temperature in North City had not dropped for a long time, and the sun in the afternoon was scorching hot, and muggy.

Go to the company directly." Hailey wore a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and a simple black suit, which was clean and neat. After getting in the car, she said to Jose, "Call the senior managers of the group for a meeting at 3 p.m., and let Bob and Benson also attend the meeting.”

“Okay.” Jose responded, and asked hesitantly, "Do we need to invite the chairman?”

No." Hailey didn't raise her head, looked at the tablet in her hand, and asked lightly, "Mr. Sosa, are you afraid that I'm too young to dominate the scene?"

Her clear voice made Jose shiver and Jose said, "No."

It's okay.” Hailey didn't mind, Since you will be my chief assistant in the future, we will have a long time to get along. You can get used to my work habits slowly.” She raised her head slightly, "Chris can work for me so long, so I believe you can too. I think highly of you."

Jose smiled embarrassingly, and shouted in his heart, "Mr. Moore, help me. Your ex-wife is so scary!”
