Hailey could tell the Raphael was a late angry, be the did not know how to explain her relationship with Owen.

Raphael took a shower and cout. He saw Halley was already asleep on the sofa
Her long hair was scattered to the side, revealing her beautiful and smooth long neck. There were faint hickeys
on her collarbone.
After two years, she has Owens aura on her again, thought Raphael
Raphael was a little unwilling,
He took a deep breath and walked toward Hailey. His eyes were deep and serious, as if he wanted to do
something.
Hailey suddenly woke up and met Raphael's gaze.
She was slightly shocked. She sat up and smiled at Raphael Tll go back since you're done.”
She saw desire in Kaphael’s eyes.
Kaphael grabbed her wrist.
Hailey looked up.
Raphael increased his strength slightly, and a trace of toughness appeared on his usually gentle face. “Hailey, |

failed. “Raphael, you're tired.
“Have you forgotten? Raphael asked her seriously. I'm your fiancé. We're the ones who are going to get married
in the future.”
Hailey pursed her lips and remained silent.
I've always given you tto slowly accept me, but now | don’t want to wait anymore. Raphael softened his tone
and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss her.

Hailey frowned and said coldly, “Raphael, you know well in your heart whether we are truly in a romantic
relationship or
not
Upon hearing that, Raphael let her go.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and the corners of his eyes were a little red. His jaw tightened as he looked at Hailey.
“Do you believe in others rather than believing inand your father?”
Hailey pursed her lips and remained silent.
In the past two years, not to mention Raphael, she had seen Finley’s care and love for her.
She didn’t want to know it was all a scam.
However, it did seem like a scam from the looks of it.
“I'm going back.” Hailey chose to avoid the question.
Raphael didn’t force her. He watched her leave before he collapsed on the sofa.
The room fell silent.
After a long time, Raphael picked up his phone and made a call.
“It’s tto tell her that thing”
Hailey went back to take a shower and changed into her clean pajamas. Then, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.
She slept until three in the afternoon before getting out of bed. She took out her phone and ordered takeout.
She took a call after finishing the takeout.
“Dad,” said Hailey. It was Finley calling.
Finley's voice was kind as he said, “Hailey, how have you been recently?”
“Everything's fine. What about you, Dad?”
“I'm fine, too. How have you been getting along with Raphael?”
Hailey bit her lip and lowered her head. “Dad, | want to call off the engagement.”
On the other side of the line, Finley was stunned for a moment and asked, “Why?”
Hailey did not want to doubt her father.
Over the past two years, anyone with a discerning eye could tell how much Finley cared for Hailey.
‘He dotes on me. He gavewhatever | wanted. It was as if he was only short of plucking the stars and the
moon from the sky and giving them to me, thought Hailey.
Hailey was silent for a moment and said, “I don’t like Raphael.”
Finley sighed. “Hailey, | lied to you about something.”
Hailey said, “Huh?”

Hailey already had an idea. However, when she heard Finley's words, her pupils dilated as she asked in shock,
“Then why did you say | like Raphael? And Raphael is my fiancé?”
Finley's slightly tired voice cfrom the other end of the line. “Because you can’t be with Owen. Owen... He's
the son of the murderers who killed your mother.”
“My mother?” Hailey asked blankly.
It was the first tin two years that she had heard her father take the initiative to talk about her mother.
Finley said slowly, “Your mother, Valerie Dalton. | told you before that she died in a car accident.”
“Yeah.”
“At that time, the people who hit your mother’s car were Owen’s adoptive parents, Layla Lane and Wyatt
Calhoun. Although Owen wasn’t their biological son, there were still grudges and entanglements between them.
If you were to be with Owen, Hailey, your mother would be sad in heaven.”
Hailey slowly pursed her lips.
“Moreover, there’s one more thing.” Finley pursed her lips. “Owen’s biological mother, Isabelle Lane, passed
away. Isabelle gave birth to Owen because she was defiled. The person who defiled Isabelle is my younger
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbrother, your biological uncle. You and Owen are siblings. You two can’t be together.”
“Snap!” The phone in Hailey’s hand fell to the ground.
She widened her eyes in shock. It was unbelievable.
However, Finley's words still echoed in her ears.
“You two can’t be together!”
She clearly thought she did not like Owen that much. At most, she was just craving his body. However, when she
heard that, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.
It felt as if she had lost her true love.
Hailey panicked. She sat on the sofa in a daze until six in the evening.
“Ding dong, ding dong.” The doorbell rang.
Hailey raised her hand and rubbed her stiff neck. She got up and opened the door.
A tall and slender man stood in front of her door with a serious and cold expression.
It was Owen.
She gave him a long look and turned to the side. “Please cin.”
Owen could tell she was distracted. He frowned slightly and walked in.
Hailey poured him a glass of water and sat down beside him. “How did you know I lived here?”
Owen said calmly. “Hallon City is my place.”
He didn’t mean to boast and was just stating a fact.

Owen of the Calhoun Group, indeed, was a top figure.
In the past two years, he had made achievements in various fields. In Hallon City, he could have ruled the place.
Owen tilted his head to look at her and frowned slightly. His voice softened as he asked, “Are you in a bad
mood?”
Hailey bit her lip and hummed softly.
