airport.
She was nearly 57’ tall and slender, especially her smooth, long legs, which were straight and long.
She wore a pair of 16” high-heeled sandals, which lengthened her legs.
The girl's temperament was exceptionally outstanding. She was elegant and calm. Her hair was much shorter,
only reaching her collarbone and casually scattered on her shoulders. Compared to two years ago, she had

Everyone who passed by her couldn’t help but stop and look back at her.
After leaving the airport, she stood by the roadside and looked. There were already many men who were
tempted to approach her.
A black luxury car stopped in front of her.
An elegant and gentle man pushed open the car door and got out, walking straight toward the girl.
“Hailey, Raphael called her gently.
Hailey looked up and smiled at the man. “Raphael, long tno see.”
The luxury car and the handsman instantly dispelled everyone's thoughts.
Such a beauty was indeed not worthy of ordinary people like them.
“Long tno see.” Raphael smiled and went forward to hug her gently.
The chauffeur put her suitcase in the car trunk and opened the door.
Hailey got into the car and stretched comfortably. “It’s so hot in the country. It is still more comfortable having an
air conditioner.”
Raphael handed her a bottle of water and smiled, saying, “It’s July now, the hottest time.”
Hailey unscrewed the bottle and took a sip of water. She looked out the window. “The air is quite nice.”
It gave her a warm and familiar feeling.
The car started and drove toward the city center.
They passed by Luddie Plaza on their way. A financial news was playing on the big screen in the square.

He had exquisite eyebrows, a chiseled outline, and deep eyes. They should have been a pair of charming and
soul-stirring eyes, but his eyes were filled with coldness and darkness like a swamp.
“Hailey? Hailey?”
Hailey suddenly cback to her senses. “Huh?”
Raphael handed her a tissue and asked worriedly, “What's wrong? Why are you crying?”
‘Am | crying?‘ thought Hailey.

“Maybe the wind is too strong.” She smiled and took a tissue to wipe her tears.

health. | hired a nanny. You will eat three meals a day on tfrom now on.”

even treated each other with respect as guests.
There was no sweet feeling and atmosphere that an ordinary couple had between them.
Half a year ago, Raphael went to Hallon City. Before boarding the plane, he wanted to kiss Hailey, but Hailey
dodged out of reflex.
Hailey always felt a bit guilty after the incident.
After all, Raphael was her fiancé and had been taking care of her with all his heart. Her reaction was a little too
extreme.
But kissing...
She imagined the scene of her and Raphael kissing in her mind and couldn’t help but shake her head.
It felt weird.

Hailey felt that what his father said made sense, so she returned to the country.

Raphael's apartment was on the top floor of Building A, which was the twelfth floor.
Hailey followed Raphael into the elevator.
When they reached the twelfth floor, Hailey stopped and hesitated. “Raphael, why don’t | stay somewhere else?”
Raphael looked at her and asked lightly, “Hailey, don’t you want to live with me?”

“But | want to live alone. I've said I'm independent for the past two years, but I still rely on you and my father to

Raphael pursed his lips and didn’t say anything else. “The dormitory in the school is communal. You might not be
used to it. I'll arrange another place for you tomorrow.”
