Chapter 315
Love Is Fair
Chapter 315 Air Crash For so many years, Hailey had had many names.
When she married Owen, she even gave herself the pseudonym of Hailey Byrne.
However, it was the first time that she was called Haileyâs Book.
The last name was Book and the first name was Haileyâs?
Who did he think she was to use such a strange name?
âCaptain.â
Hailey asked politely, âAre you from Congland?â
The man had a blank face and looked at her calmly. âNo, Iâm from Traique, but my roots are in Congland, so Iâm a Conglish descendant.â
His words instantly brought them closer to each other.
He was from Traique?
Hailey raised an eyebrow.
âNice to meet you.â She took the initiative to extend her hand, feeling sure in her mind. âDo you know my brother Karl?â
Just after that, she added, âOh, Karl is his Conglish name, and those around him usually call him âEarl Hillâ.â
âIâm not one of those around him.â
The captain remained expressionless. âSo I call him Karl.â
Hailey felt a little awkward. Was he telling a bad joke?
It wasnât funny at all.
He seemed to have no interest in chatting and turned his attention to the book again. It appeared as if he was suddenly enlightened.
âOh,â he said as an afterthought. âYour name is not Haileyâs Book, but this book is from your collection.
I think your name is⦠Hailey. â
He looked at Hailey coldly with a serious look on his face as if he was talking about something extremely important.
âRight?â
What else?
Hailey found it both funny and annoying, but he was so sincere. She couldnât laugh at him, could she?
âYesâ
She introduced herself. âMy name is Hailey.â
The man nodded his head. It seemed that he was very happy with his intelligence and gave himself credit for it. âHaileyâ He repeated her name slowly. âItâs a nice name.â
However, Hailey was surprised at his reaction. âKarl asked you to pick me up without telling you my name?â
âYes.â
He shook his head. âI know your Yardeenese name, Grace. He said the prettiest girl in first class on the plane would be his sister.â
Of course, she was the prettiest girl here.
Hailey was glad to hear that, but the next second, she realized that something was wrong and glanced back to see Aleft and Aright, who had dark and innocent faces.
The prettiest girl in first class on the plane?
She was the only girl here in first class.
It turned out that she was just prettier than the two tough men, Aleft and Aright.
She curled her lip. âItâs a shame, though.â
Aleft was speechless.
So was Aright.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
The captain didnât know that he had inadvertently started a wave of trouble. He kept fixing his cold eyes on the book, staring at the beautiful line of words, âHaileyâs book is not to be borrowedâ.
âHere, take it.â
Hailey closed the book and handed it to him.
The captainâs long eyelashes fluttered slightly. âIsnât your book not to be borrowed?â
âYes, so you can have this book.â
Hailey smiled playfully. âYouâre not borrowing it, but Iâm giving it to you. Itâs not against my rules.â
âHoweverâ¦â She stopped smiling the next second. âPlease go and read it in an empty seat. I have homework to do.â
The captainâs eyes fell on the self-criticism that she had written. Hailey reached out to cover it and pointed to the empty seat on the other side, gesturing for him to move away.
The man didnât feel offended. He took the book, said âthank youâ, and then went to a seat on the other side, where he started reading intently.
Hailey knew that this kind of long-distance international flight usually had a captain and a co-pilot.
However, this man was so idle. Didnât he have to go back to the cockpit?
The plane was still flying smoothly. Hailey continued to write her self-criticism, trying to put all kinds of words together.
âWhew, done!â
Finally, she finished writing it by hand. It was exactly 3,000 words and she couldnât add a single word to it.
Hailey shook her sore hand.
It was more tiring to write this stuff than to carve two towers.
She would talk to Karl later. Instead of writing self-criticism in the future, she could get a good piece of material and engrave a letter of repentance, which could be used repeatedly and was environmentally friendly.
She put the self-criticism away, stretched, and found that the captain was still reading the book and had already finished half of it.
It seemed that he was really interested in it.
Hailey didnât interrupt him. She put her self-criticism carefully in the backpack and got ready to take a nap.
When she woke up and had a meal, the captain was not there.
He might have gone on his shift.
After the meal, Hailey read for a while and then went back to sleep. Before that, she told Aleft and Aright not to be so tense all the time and to sleep if they were sleepy.
âThe pilots can take a shift and so can the bodyguards.â
It wasnât until the wee hours of the morning that Hailey woke up again with a bumpy ride.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the handsome man in his captainâs uniform with an expressionless, cold face.
He seemed to have taken a break. His eyes were a bit red, but he looked in good spirits. His voice was low and cold. âItâs the turbulence. Please fasten your seat belt.â
Hailey was half asleep. She hmmed in a low voice and adjusted her seat.
Suddenly a tall figure leaned over and Hailey subconsciously looked up. Before she could realize what was going on, the man had already squatted down and refastened her seat belt.
âThis is safer.â He showed her the right way to fasten it.
Hailey met his light gray eyes under his dark dashing eyebrows and found that his eyes were purplish.
They were rare purplish gray eyes.
At that moment, she was somewhat captivated by them.
Soon, the stewardess started announcing, telling the passengers to stow their tray tables, adjust their seats, fasten their seat belts, and not leave their seats.
It seemed that someone was making a scene in economy class. The chief stewardess rushed over to deal with it. The cold man frowned slightly and walked out as well.
Hailey came back to her senses and raised her wrist to check the time. It was a quarter past two in the morning in Congland and her flight would land at Bormintam Airport in just over half an hour.
There was an eight-hour time difference between Bormintam and Poya. It was just after six oâclock in the afternoon in Bormintam, where the sun had not yet set and it was a clear day outside.
âIâm going to see Karl soon. He is so busy. Will he have time to meet me?â
Hailey muttered in a low voice, but unexpectedly someone behind her suddenly answered, âYes.â
She turned around abruptly and saw that the captain had returned at some point.
The chief stewardess was an incredibly elegant and beautiful woman of mixed blood. She spared no effort in praising the captain, with a lot of nice words, which mainly meant the following.
âYouâre the best of the best, Captain.â
Someone, who deliberately made trouble just now, was overwhelmed by the captainâs aura and subdued by his glare.
Looking at them, Hailey was imagining a story between the handsome captain and the beautiful stewardess, when suddenlyâ¦
There was a loud explosion from the plane.
âBoom!â All the people in the cabin were shocked!
