Chapter 238 Spend Valentine’s Day Together
The moment she saw Owen, the cold wind blew past, and she was
dazed. She suddenly remembered those days when he was
paralyzed. Back to work at Mazedew Group, he had been very
busy and traveled around the world, but no matter howte it was,
she would go to pick him up at the airport. She was worried about his health since he had just
recovered.
Given his mental condition, she was afraid he could not adapt to
such heavy work. Unfortunately, Owen couldn’t feel her concern.
Neither had he wanted her to pick him up.
Then she had to wait at home. Back then, there was one romantic
drama on almost every TV channel. Sitting in the living room, she
watched the actress mutter in tears, “Do you know what it feels
like to wait all night?”
Her face would be smeared with tears probably because of the
actress’ great performance or the sad lines. That was the first
time Hailey had shed tears since her parents passed away. Back
then, she found her nominal marriage was even sadder than the
drama.
She was a richdy of the modern era, but her life was no better
than those consorts in feudal times who would be asionally
favored by the emperor. She hadn’t imagined that Owen would
divorce her one day. Neither had she thought that he came to pick
her up at the airport after they were divorced. Her state of mind had changed. From Mrs. Moore who
cared
nothing except for her husband, she turned back to Ms. Newman
who only cared about her career and making money. How ironic!
While she was in a trance, Owen came over and said naturally,
“You’re here.”
Like her guardian angels, Ryan and Brook stepped forward from
behind her and looked askance at Owen. Their eyes were icy cold. Unlike the two hostile men, Hailey
gracefully reached out her hand

and said, “Mr. Moore, long time no see.” Owen’s face froze. It had been just a couple of days since they
last
met. Why did her attitude turn so polite and distant? He shook hands with her and greeted her softly,
“Ms. Newman.”
Hailey quickly drew her hand back and introduced everyone to him,
“Mr. Moore, you know Mr. Kirnd, and this is Dr. Sears from
Feh. He came to North City for a private matter.”
Owen nodded to Brook and extended his hand toward Ryan. “Dr.
Sears, I’ve heard so much about you.”
Ryan’s hands were hanging on his sides. He showed no intention
of stretching them out and just said ndly, “I’ve seen you before.
You’were on crutches, and Hailey looked at you anxiously from
behind, ready to support you at any moment. Looks like you’ve
fully recovered.” Owen felt a stream of coldness in his heart, perhaps because the
wind was chilly at the airport. His hands and feet went numb, and
his face turned ashen. He silently drew his hand back, forced a
smile, and looked down at Hailey. “Yeah, thanks to Hailey’s
attention and care.”
Thest thing Hailey wanted was to bring up the past. She looked
away, helped Jasone down the stairs, went out of North City
airport, and got into the van prepared by Owen. Owen arranged a five-star hotel under Mazedew Group
for Jason,
but the old man didn’t want to stay in the hotel. Instead, he headed
to Donald’s ce. He was eager to meet his old friend and see
that pile of broken jade. After taking the old man to the ce, Hailey said goodbye to
Donald, left the bodyguards there, and went back to the car. She
was going with Owen to catch that girl at Moore Mansion.
The van had been changed into two sedans. Since the driver’s and
passenger’s seats were upied, the four of them had to ride in
different cars. Owen invited Ryan and Brook to the back car before
leading Hailey to the front car. Brook offered to switch cars with Hailey because he was afraid
that she would be embarrassed and that Owen had ulterior
motives. Hailey declined, “I’ll talk to Mr. Moore about business.” Mincing words would only embarrass
them both. She would rather
face him honestly. They were a divorced couple rather than a pair
of adulterers. After getting in the car, Hailey broke the silence. “I’m sorry for the
trouble, Mr. Moore. That girl is young and ignorant.” Owen looked sideways at her and said, “Hailey, we
don’t need such
politeness between us.”
After going through formalities, she got down to business. Owen
wasn’t there at the racecoursest time. It was Matthew and her
who negotiated the terms. The opening date was Valentine’s Day
for luck’s sake.
Owen nodded lightly and said, “Valentine’s Day, that’s pretty good.
I’m fine with it.” “Then it’s settled.” She then stopped talking.

. .10 As Valentine’s Day was mentioned, Owen fell into a daze. He was
not sensitive to holidays. He only remembered Independence Day
and Christmas. The two elders of his family attached great
important to the two holidays. No matter how busy they were,
everyone would be asked to go home for a get-together. As far as he remembered, during their three-
year marriage, Hailey
and he had never spent Valentine’s Day together. He did faintly
remember that a rose would appear in the house on that day each
year. It was a yellow rose rather than a red one. In the vase, every
petal and branch looked beautiful. The dew on it was crystal
clear.
Not a fan of flowers, he still found the rose beautiful. He had
thought that the flower was trimmed by Hailey. When he asked if
the flower was bought by his wife, the butler told him that it
seemed to be a rare variety air-lifted from abroad. The rose was
unavable domestically and would only bloom for three days. A
seed of doubt had been nted since then. His wife was just a
girl from the countryside. How was it possible that someone
mailed her yellow roses from abroad?
“The Valentine’s Day this year…” Owen’s deep voice rang out in the
carriage. “How are you going to spend it?”
Hailey froze for a moment before realizing that he was asking her
She looked up and met a pair of deep eyes. She was thinking
about the previous Valentine’s Day just now.
Her mother was a ritualistic person. On every Valentine’s Day, her
father would order a yellow rose from abroad for her mother. It
was a variety not avable domestically. He asked Old Mr. Ingram
and Karl to help purchase it in Engese and mail it by air. Back then, she found her mother fastidious.
After she got married,
she realized that her mother had chosen a good husband who was
willing to delight her even at the cost of turning to a rival in love for
help. Thankfully, Karl had sustained the tradition and sent back a
yellow rose on Valentine’s Day each year to offer sce to her
mother.
“I have no ns for it,” Hailey replied indifferently. Owen gazed at
her, felt a lump in his throat, and plucked up the courage. “Hailey, let’s spend Valentine’s Day together
this time,” he said
slowly.
