Chapter 156 You Don’t Deserve to Be My Backup Hailey came downstairs, Matthew got off the horse
and opened his arms to hug her. “Hailey, happy birthday!” However, Hailey just pushed him away and
stared at the white horse. It was beautiful, clean, and neat. Seeing Hailey, it lifted its forehoof and
greeted her affectionately. Hailey stroked it with a smile and asked in amazement, “Is this a jade-eyed
white horse?” Surprised, Matthew gave her a thumbs up. “You can tell that?” Ava also came
downstairs. It was the first time she had seen a live horse and she was a little scared. “Hailey, its
eyes…” Chris told her, “It’s a rare jade-eyed white horse. Its eyes look like jade. It’s said to be because
its irisesck a certain pigment.” Ava nodded. As they chatted, Hailey quickly got on the horse. She
was as cool as a female general. She stroked the horse’s neck and asked Matthew, “How much is it?
I’ll take it.” Matthew frowned at her. “Come on. It’s a birthday gift for you. I just want you to stop being
mad at me and stay friends with me.” Hailey knew he was trying to please her, but she liked the horse.
“No problem.” Matthew was thrilled and even happier than Hailey. He seemed to have nothing better to
do. He insisted on staying at the Garden of Rose all afternoon. Hailey gave the horse a bath in the yard
herself and named it Boris. Then she asked Old K to take it away and take good care of it. Soon the
sun was going down and her brothers were arriving. Hailey was ready to go out. Matthew followed her.
“I heard you’re having a birthday party at Savory Restaurant tonight. Can Ie?” “No,” Hailey refused
without hesitation. Matthew was sad. “Why?” Hailey replied patiently, “Because it’s a family dinner.”
“That’s why I should be there.” Matthew walked up to her, walked backward as she walked forward,
and chattered, “I’m your backup now anyway. I want to meet your brothers to see if I have a chance.”
Hailey stopped in her tracks and gave him a cold nce. “How can you be so cheeky?” Matthew
waved his hand casually. “You can say whatever you want.” Hailey said impatiently, “Don’t tter
yourself. You don’t deserve to be my backup.” She just pushed him away. “Get out of my way!”
Matthew added, “I’m serious. Let your brothers meet me. Maybe they’ll like me and marry you to me.”
Hailey sneered. “Then you’ll have to get Jared’s permission first.” Then she entered the house without
a backward nce. Matthew was stopped at the door by Old K. Hailey’s words discouraged him. She
was right. Jared wouldn’t give him permission to pursue her, but he thought he was more likely to makeExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
it than Owen, who had long been cklisted and probably had no hope at all. ‘Where is he? Does he
know it’s Hailey’s birthday?’ As Owen’s romantic rival, Matthew decided not to tell him about it.
Owen had just gotten off the ne and was on his way to Poynd Lane. He had mixed feelings. It
seemed that every time he came to Poya, his rtionship with Hailey changed. Her identity kept
changing and she got further and further away from him. The first time he came, he found out that the
obedient country girl who had divorced him and disappeared was the president of Crystaldale. He went
to The Nomad to ask her, but she simply nced up at him and asked coldly, “Have we met?” The
second time he came, he wanted to work with her on the northern Suburbs racecourse project. He met
her in Crystaldale, but she looked him up and down and asked coldly, “Who are you to work with me?”
This was his third visit. Would she turn him down again? Owen turned to look at the birthday gifts he
had prepared for her in the back seat. They were nothingpared to the ones she had given him, but
he had prepared them very carefully. He hoped she would be gentle with him for the sake of the gifts.
He had never expected that he would one day be so humble to please a girl.
Hailey’s phone kept ringing. Her brothers had arrived in Poya and were on their way. She sent a
message as she walked to Savory
Restaurant. It was quiet today because she bought the whole ce out. It was festively decorated with
balloons and decorations and she was sprayed with strings as soon as she entered. “Happy birthday,
boss!” The staff cheered. Hailey replied with a smile, “Thank you.” Jeremy heard the noise outside and
lifted the curtain toe out. His eyes lit up when he saw Hailey and he gave a big smile. “Hailey,
there you are.” Hailey was dressed up in a special way today. Her red hair turned back to ck and
was put into a bun at the back of her head with a
purple hairpin in it. She wore a long purple sleeveless dress. The tulle fluttered as she walked, making
her as beautiful as a fairy.
He thought, ‘What a ssical beauty!’ “Have you done the prep?” Hailey asked as she walked into the
kitchen. Suddenly, Jeremy walked toward her and she got a cold thing in her hand. It was a gold smiley
face pendant ne. She looked up and saw Jeremy’s smiling face. “It’s for you. Happy birthday.”
Hailey was touched, but she stillined, “You’re a student. You don’t have to give me such an
expensive gift.” “It’s not expensive.” Jeremy waved his hand and said shyly, “It’s solid gold, but I wasted
several nes to make it. I hope you’ll like it.” Hailey touched the smiley face, her eyes widening in
surprise. “You made it yourself?”
