Chapter 086 I Want You to Stay With Me

As soon as Owen said that, Hailey's calm face immediately darkened. She said with a stern face, "Owen, don't push your luck. Didn't you say that you only want me to promise you one thing?" Owen said, “But you said as long as it's not re-marriage and reconciliation with you, I can ask anything

else." "..." Hailey just wanted to give him another punch. He was good at exploiting such language loopholes.

Indeed, businessmen were all treacherous.

Hailey narrowed her eyes, staring at him without speaking while Owen knew his was wrong but still put on a righteous face. The two people stared at each other for a long time before Hailey finally turned her eyes away She cursed Jared inwardly for giving her trouble. She rubbed her fingertips and said leisurely, "Then you should think carefully. Although I have always taken the loss as a blessing, if people think I am a fool and want to bully me, it is not possible. And if you provoke me, the gains will outweigh the losses." Hearing the threat in her voice, Owen smiled gently, "Don't worry, I won't ask too much. I promise, what I want you to do is definitely something within your reach."

Hailey sneered. Obviously she didn't believe what he said. Owen touched his forehead, as if he was in pain, "The doctor said I got concussion. I got hit on the head

and there may be blood clots in my brain. Oh, those bastards! They put me in a sack and beat me on the

face and head! What am I supposed to do with these obvious wounds..." Looking at him act like he was gonna die, Hailey was speechless in a sulk. She just wanted to satirize

him, 'You're so good at acting, why not go to Hollywind?" "All right, stop acting. What the hell else do you want me to do? Just say it." Seeing his trick work, Owen smiled merrily, "I want you to stay with me." Hailey said coldly, "I'm already here."

"You are too far away from me." Owen moved to the side then patted the bed, "The chair is too hard, come

and lie down for a while." Hailey was stunned. She kept silent for a while before she said crossly, "You are tired of being alive, aren't

you?"

Owen was startled by her murderous look then he immediately said awkwardly, "You got me wrong. I didn't mean that... I just think you may feel better if lie down. Believe me, I won't touch you." He hurriedly explained, not like a divorced man, but like a naive boy.

This was a single ward with only one bed. Hailey had let people rent a folding bed here and had let her

personal assistant buy personal hygiene products. It seemed that she would stay here long and take care of him.

"Well, I'll stay with you tonight. You can rest easy." She was almost gnashing teeth to say this. Seeing her

angry face. Owen somewhat got thrill of getting a trick done. Now he only felt that it was worth being beating.

By this time, it was already very late. Hailey was affected by her mother, attaching importance to skin care. Even in the hospital with insufficient conditions, she still went to the bathroom to remove makeup. When she came out with moisture on her face, Owen was stunned.

He hadn't seen her face without makeup for a long time. During their three-year marriage, she had

seldom worn makeup at home or just light makeup. But after the divorce, every time she appeared, she wore exquisite and heavy makeup, looking like a queen.

Whether it was with or without makeup, her face was beautiful. Her skin was flawless and supple, just like a baby's.

When Hailey saw Owen staring at her, she said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?" "Of course I have."

Owen followed her words and asked curiously, "Did you get needles on your face? I've been curious about that."

"What needles?" Hailey was confused for a moment, but then understood, "Hyaluronic acid?" Owen nodded. He thought that was the name.

Hailey Snickered, "I don't need that. I'm not a star. My face doesn't bring me money." Owen smiled and complimented her in a serious manner, "You are much better looking than them." Hailey didn't even look back, and said casually, "Born beauty. I couldn't help it." She was not modest at

all.

Owen watched Hailey using make-up water and lotion, as if a wife was doing skin care in front of her husband, and did not take him as an outsider at all. He was beaming with happiness. Hailey smeared lots of skincare products one after another like painting on a wall, and also patted her face hard from time to time. Seeing this, Owen's smile faded, "Does it not hurt?" Hailey looked askance at him, as if she was saying "you know nothing about it, man." She said

contemptuously, "You wanna try?" Totally unnecessary." Owen refused. The light was turned off again, and Hailey went under the covers, covering herself tightly, except for her round head. The room was very quiet, only the sound of two people shallow breathing. The single ward was not small, but with two beds, it seemed to narrow. The single bed rented by Hailey was smaller, against the wall, two slippers away from his bed. It could be barely considered that they had shared bed. Owen titted his head to look at her. Her face was not clearly defined in the dark light, but the passion in his heart was surging. This was the first time they had slept so close together in three years. She was so close to him that he only had to move a little to hold her hand. He thought so, and did so. But Owen had just moved a little when he saw Hailey who had been lying still suddenly stretch her hand

+ zo out from the quilt. With a flash of silver light, a fruit knife appeared in her hand and abruptly stuck into the

table beside the bed, right between them. His froze then the cold voice of Hailey came in his ears, "Behave yourself, if you don't want to lose your

fingers." Owen really didn't notice that when had she put the knife into the quilt. 'It's too much. It's like I'm a villain. Owen thought buy he dared not to say. He lay back down and explained to her, "I just want to be closer to

you."

Hailey sneered, "Don't you think it's too late to talk about it right now? In the past three years, you had like a million chances to get close to me legally. But you just let them go?" Owen felt that each word of Hailey could pierce his heart like a bull's-eye. Every word was like a sharp knife.

But she could be even more ruthless, "Owen, you think you are playing the martyr well, right? Don't push your luck! If I was the old me, perhaps I may buy it. But now I'm a cold and heartless woman, at least to

you."
