Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Haley asked, "You were the one who askedout that day at the studio, but now you seeand just turn around. What's up with that?" fell silent. That day, she had been pressured by Alex to call Haley.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the call, she said, "Alex wants to see you. I'll be waiting at the stuentrance. If you can't make it today, we can reschedule." Haley knew Alex was around but still showed up. Once inside, she stuck to Alex, and even when things took a turn, she didn't bother talking to Ellie.
From the moment they met, Haley made no effort to resolve things; she was just there to see Alex, and that was a fact. Ellie didn't say anything, so why was Haley so loud, acting like she had the moral high ground to question her? Ellie furrowed her brows, "Whether you say yes to his proposal is your own business. What's the point of tellingthis?? Haley stared at Ellie and slowly calmed down. "Ellie, I know you're still mad atbecause I broke up with Aaron, but honestly, he and I just aren't right for each other. We're adults; breaking up is normal.” Haley continued, "Last twhen Alex's parents cto our place, his mom kept calling you her precious daughter. I can tell the Warren family really values you; they treat you like one of their own. Even though you've moved out, Alex hasn't abandoned you" Haley reached out to take Ellie's hand, but Ellie pulled away.
Haley awkwardly withdrew her hand and kept going, "Ellie, Alex and I are going to get married. You're his sister, so we'll all be family. I really don't want things to be awkward between us!" Ellie's expression changed repeatedly.
So Haley's fixation on her wasn't because she cherished their friendship, but because everyone in the Warren family treated her like family-they valued her too much! The harsh truth of reality was truly terrifying! "You must be mistaken; my last nis Thompson, not Warren Ellie smirked sarcastically. "Haley, I really appreciate you Jetting Aaron go!” Haley didn't expect Ellie to lash back like that, leaving her speechless. With a grim expression, Haley looked at Ellie with teary eyes. After a long pause, she finally asked, "Ellie, what do you mean by that?" Thinking about the photos on Alex's phone, Ellie felt a mix of emotions-disappointment, sadness, bitterness. She just really uncomfortable inside.

He said he doesn't want to put you in a difficult position, "but the truth is, Haley, you're not even in a tough spot. All of your so-called 'difficulties' are excuses. Since the day Alex started pursuing you, we both know your heart was already leaning towards him, right?" "How can you say that about me?! Haley retorted indignantly. "I was the one making the effort the entire tin my relationship with Aaron! You don't know how hard I worked for him! 11:00 Tue, Jan 28 Chapter 62 "My parents eventually caved in, but Alex wouldn't quit his job the prosecutor's office to com, work for me. What do you wantto do?!" Ellic pushed down the discomfort bubbling inside her and spoke out the words she had been holding back. "Remember that day when the three of us were chatting? You said Alex was too superficial and shameless, that he wasn't even a quarter as good as Aaron.
"Then, that evening, you took the doll Aaron got you and went got you and went to dinner with Alex. You told us it was your dad who called you back home." As their eyes locked. Haley opened her mouth but couldn't say a word!
Ellie's tone dripped with sarcasm and a hint of self-mockery as she continued, "And then there was that twhen we left that little diner. Aaron wanted to take you hin a cab, but you said you couldn't let him get sick.
"You grabbed a cab for us and even insisted on paying. But then youn turned around and jumped into Alex's car, asking him. to dry your hair like it was no big deal." Ellie's voice caught in her throat. "If you want to hear more, I have plenty more I could say." "How do you know all this?" Haley stammered, her eyes shifting nervously.
Ellic pressed on, "So you finally admit it, huh? Haley, haven't we been m aven't we b friends for years? Can't we be honest with each other?
