Love Is Fair By Kerri Chapter 85


    Chapter 085 A Blow to His Self-esteem


    Owen was pped but heughed, “Indeed, I‘m not some good person.” ‘Not being a good person, is


    that something to be proud of?‘ Hailey nced at him with anger. But her watery eyes were full of


    tenderness, without even a hint of stateliness. He looked at her reddened face with shyness, but also a


    little aggression and a touch of childishness.


    Owen only felt she was really cute, and couldn‘t wait to cup her face and kiss her again. When he was


    about to touch her face, Hailey turned her head and left from the bed. Owen looked at his

    empty hand and felt inexplicably lost. Hailey kept him at arm‘s length and gradually calmed down then


    she lightly said, “You forced me a kiss,


    and I pped you, we‘re even.” She said seriously, and Owen stopped smiling, gently leaning on the


    bed, “Good deal. How about I kiss you again? My face is already scarred anyway. It‘s ok to get another


    p.” Hailey froze, not knowing what to say. She was humiliated and angry, but looking at his bruised


    and


    swollen face, she had some remorse. She stood up straight and said to him solemnly, “I‘m sorry, Mr.


    Moore, the person who attacked you tonight is a friend of mine. He did it to you only for my sake, and I


    didn‘t know about it beforehand. If you want to pursue, just put it on me. Could we settle it privately?”


    “Your friend?” Owen‘s gaze turned slightly cool, “It‘s Jared, right?” Hailey guessed that he might know


    that, and since he said it out, she just admitted, “Yes.” Owen said, “We can settle this privately, but you


    have to tell me what‘s the rtionship between you and


    Jared?”


    He had started investigating Jared yesterday, but no matter how he tried, he didn‘t find out what kind of


    rtionship they had. Their lives didn‘t seem to intersect at all. Matthew knew so well about the Gomez


    family, but he didn‘t even know what kind of friendship the Gomez family had with the Newman family.


    “He‘s my second eldest brother.” Hailey said, “I‘m sorry I‘m not at liberty to disclose anything more.”


    Owen‘s thick and ck brows knitted slightly. He actually wanted to know more, not only about Jared,


    but also about Brook. He wanted to know what kind of rtionship these men had with her, but she


    was unwilling to reveal too much to him. inly, she still didn‘t trust him. But he did not want to force


    her to


    say it, after all, everyone had secrets, and not all things could be shared with others. “I can let him go.”


    Owen looked at Hailey, “But totally for your sake, so you also have to promise me one


    thing.”


    Hailey looked at him without speaking. Although he was young, he had been in business for several


    years and had already been sophisticated. He might have a million thoughts running through her head,


    and some of them might be wicked. She naturally could not easily say yes. After a moment of thinking,


    Hailey said, “As long as it is not to remarry with you, reconcile with you or


    something, you can ask for anything.”


    Owen‘s eyes dimmed. He knew that even if he proposed these, she would not agree. But she just said


    it to him. It could show how much she rejected to remarry with him and reconcile with him. It was a


    blow to his self–esteem and Owen‘s thin lips pursed into a thin line. He gave a bitter smile, “I am not a


    fool. I was just been beating. Why would I use that to threaten you into remarrying me? Even if I want


    to, it is only if you are willing to do so. Forced love does notst. I understand.”


    He was very self–aware. Hearing this, Hailey became patient, ‘Then what do you want me to do?” “I


    want you to trust me for once.” Owen looked at her firmly, and under Hailey‘s slightly surprised gaze,


    he solemnly said, “I did not see any woman behind your back. Last night I was drinking at the bar of the


    Nomad. When Ashley came over to ialk to me, I was a little drunk and almost took her for you. And


    after I sobered up, I felt sorry. I told the bartender to put all her bills in room 77. But I didn‘t expect her


    toe to meter with wine. I told her i wasn‘t interested in getting to know her and dating her, and


    asked her to leave. I didn‘t say anything extra. Last night Matthew was also there, you can ask him if


    you don’t believe me, or check the hotel monitor


    again.”


    Hailey was lost in thought while listening to him. It took him a long time to exin before she realized


    what he was talking about. “This is the request? Trust you?” Owen nodded seriously, “I know, you didn‘t


    trust me at all. Although I am not a good guy or a good husband, what I can promise you is that I have


    never lied to you. I never did, I never will.” Hailey looked him in to his eyes, and her eyes shifted


    uncontrobly. Since she had agreed to his request, she was already prepared to be embarrassed by


    him. But she didn‘t expect that he would just want her to trust him, let alone that he would exin to her


    again what happenedst night


    But he was right. Although he was not a good guy, he had never lied to her. He told her that he did not


    love her and he had always had another woman in his heart; he told her that he was being with Eliza


    when they were still couple. He told her these openly and clearly and he was not afraid that she will be


    sad, or heartbroken, because he did not care about her feelings at all.


    was


    Actually he simply did not understand, from the beginning to the end, she hadn‘t cared about whether


    he


    had cheated on her or not. What she really cared was whether he had loved her? Bitterness was


    surging


    in her heart, but she didn‘t want show any grievance in front of him.


    She lightly said, “Do you know why she took the wine to you?”


    Owen shook his head.


    “Because you said your room number. Whether you said it casually or not, but in the woman‘s opinion,


    you are hinting at her.”


    Seeing Owen wrinkling his brow with a puzzled look, Hailey said very helplessly, “Let‘s put it this way, if


    last night a paparazzo took the photo of Ashley, a gorgeous beauty, knocking on your door in the


    middle


    of the night, and you opening it, then once the news came out, do you think people will believe the


    words you said just now?” Owen raised his eyebrow, “I don‘t care about what they think about me.” He


    only cared whether she believed it or not. “I know you don‘t care, but people will talk. Not to mention


    that you are not an ordinary people, you are the


    president of Mazedew Group.” Hailey‘s voice was calm, “As a partner, I believe in your character, but


    also as a partner, I hope you could be more cautious and never be caught out.” She said she believed


    in him, but as a partner, not as his ex–wife. Owen pursed his lips tightly then said, “I have one more


    request.”
