Chapter 291
Love Is Fair
Chapter 291 Three Old Men Knowing that Valentineâs Day was approaching, Hailey packed up and prepared to go back to Poya to participate in the opening ceremony of the racecourse project. As one of the owners, Matthew surely had to go with her. However, Catherine was going to go back to Fenneth with Ryan.
During this period of time, because Matthew hurt his waist, Catherine treated him with massage and acupuncture therapies. The little girl was usually naughty, but she was really good at medical skills. Gradually, the two developed to be friends.
Matthew just thought the friendship like it, âBecause you help me heal my waist, I wonât mind the pain youâre your pistachios have brought me.â
His thought was not what Catherine wanted. âMatt, Iâm leaving soon, and will you miss me?â Catherine looked at Matthew expectantly with her dewy eyes.
Matthew was stared at by countless girls, but he couldnât know how to make a response to the expression in Catherineâs eyes, and looked away. âMayâ¦Maybe.â
âReally?â Catherine smiled and said, âThen you must miss me every day.â
Matthew laughed angrily because of the unreasonable request, âDo I have to miss you every day?â He hadnât missed any woman every day until now, and neither did a man, so, it was impossible for him.
âOf course!â Catherine thought everything was possible. âIf you miss me every day, you wonât have extra time and energy to make a girlfriend.â
âI must make a girlfriend.â Matthew said, âI am not young. If I donât have a girlfriend, it will be late for me to have one. Do you want me to be single till death?â
âYou wonât die alone, and I will be with you.â Catherine said solemnly. âYou just wait for me, I will take the college entrance examination in a year, and then I will choose a university that is close to you. In this way we can stay with each other.â
Stayed with each otherâ¦Matthew was shocked by her, âKatie, you should study hard now, and then go to a university. Donât think about the romantic relationship.â
Catherine snorted softly. âDonât look down on me. Iâm good at studying. You donât let me pay attention to the romantic relationship, and you canât think about or have it either. You should be fair.â
Matthew nodded perfunctorily as if he was coaxing a child, âWell, okay.â
âWe canât just talk, and we need to make a pinky swearâ
Catherine held out her little finger. Matthewâs eyes widened, âWhy?â He had never done such a childish behavior since he graduated from the kindergarten! He refused!
âThe swear cannot be changed for 100 years.â The refusal was invalid. Catherine forcefully hooked Matthewâs finger, and after that, she also put her thumb against him, âIf anyone violates the agreement, the personâs underpants will have holes!â
âWow, this is too excessive.â Matthew marveled at Catherineâs thought. Catherine was very satisfied.
Ryan shouted impatiently outside, âCatherine, come out quickly! We have to leave!â
âI am coming!â Catherine waved her hand to Matthew, âGoodbye, Matt. Donât forget me. You must miss me⦠She almost slammed into the door, and longingly blew a kiss to Matthew when she went out.
Matthew was completely amused. The corners of his lips always rose, âChildren now, are reallyâ¦â
At an airport of North City. This time, Polly with Ryan went to Fenneth, and they were a group of people. Hailey wrapped a thin silk blanket and gave it to Polly. âAuntie, I bought you a ready-made blanket because of the limited time. You just use it first. Iâll embroider one for you later. Send me the patterns you like.â
Polly looked happy, âYou are considerate. I will tell you.â
âDonât be polite to meâ Hailey smiled and gave another gift to Winnie, âWinnie, in Fenneth it is quite humid, and here is a sachet to ward off cold. You wear it to anti rheumatism.â
Winnie appreciated it very much. It was the same as before. No matter what gift Hailey bought for Polly, she would prepare one gift for Winnie. In the eyes of others, Winnie was just an ordinary housekeeper and a servant, but Hailey would never think so, Hailey treated Winnie with respect and regarded her as an elder.
How could Winnie not accept this affection? She handed the two leather sleeves she sewn into Haileyâs hands. Hailey took it and was stunned, âWhat?â
Winnie whispered, âI see that you carry a knife with you. It is dangerous and eye-catching. You put it here, which is much safer, and it will not wear your skin.â Not only the knife holster, but also the gun holster, was indeed very useful.
Hailey liked it very much, âThank you, Winnie, and I will wear them.â
Polly and Winnie looked at her worriedly, held her hands and said, âYou still have to protect yourself and donât put yourself in danger, ok?â
They both had experienced many difficulties, and knew what had happened recently was not just an accident. They couldnât ask more about what happened, so they could only advise her.
Hailey appreciated it and was moved, âDonât worry. I will take care of myself.â
Polly and Winnie took the lead to pick up the tickets for the security check. Ryan looked at Hailey with a worried expression. âAre you ok?â
Hailey drawled, âOf courseâ¦I am an adult, so canât I even take care of myself? In the past three years, I have spent alone.â
Ryan snorted softly, âYes, you tortured yourself that days.â
âBrother Ryan.â Hailey said to him angrily, âWeâre going to be separated, so say something auspicious.â
âThe auspicious words are- Ryan picked up her ear, âLeave for Engese early to visit your elder brother.
Do you know?â
Hailey was in pain, and wailed, âI know. I knowâ¦Be gentle. It hurts!â
âItâs my purpose. If it doesnât hurt, you wonât remember it.â Hailey rubbed her ears and stared at Ryan sadly. Catherine watched beside, and gloated.
Charlotte came over, holding the boarding pass, âMaster, the luggage is checked in, and itâs time to go to the security check.â
Ryan said gentle, âWellâ, took the boarding pass, and held Catherineâs arm, âLetâs go.â
âGoodbye, Aunt Hailey. Take care- Iâll sneak out to visit you next holiday.â As soon as she finished speaking, Ryan grabbed her neck and dragged her inside.
Sending off Ryan and other people here, it was time for Hailey to return to Poya, but before leaving, she has to go to the Mazedew Museum to say goodbye to Jason. The restoration project of antiquities went very smoothly, and Jason was also very happy. Spending time with his old friends was happy every day. As soon as she arrived at the Mazedew Museum, she heard a quarrel from a long distance away. Hailey knew it must be the three old men arguing again.
âYour grandson has hurt my granddaughter so badly, and now it is impossible for him to win her heart back. You just let him to give up.
and not be daydreamy!â
âDonât say things determinedly. Although Owie was excessive before, but now he has changed greatly.
Canât you give him a chance?â Jason glared at Donald, âItâs impossible! Why do we need to give him a chance? He has hurt Hailey badly. How can we calculate it? How can he make up for it?â
Steven said, âWe will calculate and make up for it as it should be done. Even if all the shares of Owie are given to Hailey, I wonât complain âHum, now you say something nice, but before what have you done? I must tell you itâs too late to say these!â Harley was helpless. Well, another round of debates had begun. When would these three old men stop arguing?
