Chapter 330
When she saw how business-like Nichs was, the smile on her face wavered, but she quickly
recovered herself. “I don’t know that much, but I can make an appointment to meet up with my
ssmate,” she said.
After dinner, they walked out of the restaurant together, and their striking appearance attracted the
attention of many passersby. There were even some who whispered, saying that they were very
compatible.
Hayley smiled alluringly as she heard those whispers and tilted her head at Nichs. “Nichs, it’s still
early now. Would you like to go for a walk?” she asked.
He declined the offer immediately. “No, thank you. Greg is waiting for me toe home.”
However, his rejection didn’t strike her as a surprise because she was just trying her luck by asking
earlier. “That’s okay. Since you’re not free, we’lle out again next time,” she said, following him to
where he parked his car. Afterward, she went straight to the passenger seat, opened the door, and sat
inside.
Nichs paused and frowned as he saw her actions while getting into the car.

Naturally, Hayley felt the annoyance exuding from him, but she pretended not to notice and shed him
a smile. “I’ll have to trouble you to drop me home tonight, Nichs. My driver went back after he
dropped me off.”
He pursed his lips together at her exnation but didn’t refuse her a ride, and the car waspletely
silent when they were on the way.
At this moment, she turned her head, nced at his sculptured features, and asked, “Nichs, are you
avoiding me?”

His brows knitted at the question, and he asked instead, “Why should I avoid you?”
“I thought that you have no reason to do that, too. After all, I’m not that scary, am I? It’s not like I’m a
cannibal.”
She stared straight at him and didn’t hide the adoration in her eyes because she hoped that he would
give her some response, but the man in front of her remained unmoved.
Finally, she couldn’t help but ask, “Nichs, I don’t think I’m that bad, so why do you
refuse to ept me? Are you concerned about Gregory? If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry
about anything because I will care for him as if he is my own. So even if we’re married in the future, I
can ept not having a biological child of my own.”
“Miss Stone, this has nothing to do with Greg, but I’m the one who’s unwilling.” Then, he cast a fleeting
gaze at her, and he decided not to beat about the bush. “I don’t like ying games, and even more so
for my marriage to be a chess piece for others.”
The expression on Hayley’s face turned sour, and she clutched her handbag tightly. After all her efforts
for so long, this man didn’t have a sliver of feeling for her.
As though he didn’t see the look on her face, he continued, “Actually, with your conditions, you can
have any man you want, so you don’t waste your efforts on me.”
“But you’re the one I want.” She looked at him determinedly as she bit her bottom lip.
However, that only made his tone turn icy cold. “But I don’t want you!”
Once again, the car slipped intoplete silence, which made Hayley feel incredibly unbearable. This
was the first time in her life that she was repeatedly rejected.
After a while, the car stopped in front of her house, and she couldn’t help but feel aggrieved when she
saw the expressionless man in the driver’s seat. She ced both hands against the car window and
asked, “If you don’t like a woman like me, then what type of woman do you like?”
“That has nothing to do with you.” Nichs felt that this was his private affair, so he didn’t need to
exin himself to anyone.
Hayley’s face twisted into a scowl as she felt mad with frustration, but it didn’t bother him one bit as he
said before turning the car around to leave, “I hope that you won’t appear before me with this idea in
your mind in the future. If you keep this up, I’ll send others to speak with you about work.”
As she watched the elegant, ck Maybach disappear at the street’s end, she gradually calmed down.
Unfortunately for him, the more he turned her down, the more interest she had in him.
