Chapter 327
Love Is Fair
Chapter 327 The Gift for Saul Thus, Hailey was placed under house arrest at Magic Castle.
Because Karl was angry, she did not dare to provoke him. And her brothers couldnât help her, so she had to stay quietly in her room and be a little princess who never went out.
She knew what Karl was angry about. But for her, the most important thing was to avenge her parent, and she wouldnât spare either Roger or John.
And for her brothers, revenge was important, but the most important thing was her safety.
Even in order to keep them from worrying, she should not put herself in danger.
After she figured this out, Kailey felt relieved in her heart.
When she was bored and thinking about what to give Saul as a thank-you gift, Robert got a great piece of jade from his friendâs jade shop and showed it to Hailey.
Seeing the oval-shaped jade, Hailey was so inspired that she immediately asked him for it, âHow much is it? Iâll buy it!â Robert didnât ask for her money and wanted her to write a pair of Conglish characters for him.
âKarlâs brush writing is not bad, so why didnât you ask him to write for you?â
Hailey asked Robert as she laid out the rice paper and picked out the brush.
Robert said, âI donât dare to ask my cousin for Conglish characters, and he wouldnât even write them when Aunt Helen asked him for them. And I donât deserve it.â
Hailey was amused by Robertâs aggrieved expression, âItâs okay, and Ell write for you. What kind of characters do you want? For what?â
âAnything is OK. I just finished decorating my new home, and I want to put it in my study.â
Robert thought for a moment and said, âI see that many of your great Chinese calligraphers are fond of writing things like âWaterâ and âQuietâ.â
He said in broken Conglish, then said, âI donât really understand what those mean either.â
âThose are more vulgar and donât suit you very well.â
Hailey said, âLet me write a different one for you, something more in line with your own temperament.â
Robert was happy to hear that, âOkay, okay.â
Hailey chose a thicker brush and dipped it in the ink. With her wrist, still a little red, lifted and dropped, the grand and elegant characters jumped off the paper in an instant.
It was written on the top â Great Fool.
Wonderful, wonderful.
Robert, who had gotten the writing, ran to Karl with joy to show it off.
âCousin, look, the writing Grace gave me!â
Karl had just finished some official business. A little tired from thinking about some old business, he went to the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of whiskey.
âWhat writing?â He asked carelessly, and then raised his eyebrows, âHailey wrote it?â
âYes!â
Like a child showing off a toy, Robert carefully unfolded the writing and showed it to Karl.
When he saw the character, âGreat Foolâ, Karl almost spit out the wine in his mouth. He swallowed it, and could not help but cough lightly.
âHow is it? Isnât it great?â
Robert was happy. âShe said it was called something⦠âgreatâ. I donât quite understand what it means.â
Karl looked at his cousinâs inquisitive expression and explained faintly in English, âIt means to compliment that youâre clever.â
âReally?â
Robert beamed, âIâm really clever. Grace is amazing! Then Iâll take it back and hang it up.â He walked away happily as if he was holdirig a treasure.
Holding his glass, Karl was silent for a moment and laughed silently.
âThis devil girl.â
Magic Castle had special carving tools and machine rooms, all set up by Karl for Hailey.
After getting rid of Robert, Hailey took the piece of jade that Robert brought and started refining and carving it. She couldnât stop until a model airplane took shape.
This was the first time she had ever carved a model airplane out of jade, and it was a lovely little airplane to hold in the palm of her hand.
Her big, soulful eyes shone brightly, converging with light. Thinking of Saulâs cold look on the plane that day, she wondered what his expression would be when he flew the plane.
With this in mind, she spun the carving knife between her long fingers.
Hailey smiled crookedly and used the carving knife to carve two little people on the plane.
One was flying the plane expressionlessly, and the other was sleeping leisurely in the back.
âSheâs such a hate-puller.â
Hailey felt that she was so creative that she couldnât help but expect to see Mr. Yerkesâ expression when he received the gift, which was probably similar to the look on his face when he ate the pickles.She chuckled slightly.
After carving it, she puffed up her cheeks and blew gently, ready to take it to the machine room for polishing.
When she heard her phone beep twice, she moved her sore wrist and picked it up to see that it was a message from Benson.
âHailey, is everything okay? We were all worried about you. Are you feeling better?â
This little guy was thinking about her all the time.
Hailey felt a warmth in her heart and gave him a voice back.
At the other end of the phone, Owen sent a message and then held the phone nervously.
When he saw Hailey send him a voice back, he was inexplicably a little nervous. With his throat rolling, he reached out and clicked on it. And at the time when he heard the familiar voice, his heart beat faster.
Her soft and clear voice rang out, âIâm fine. Help me tell everyone not to worry about me.â
After the air crash, he finally heard her voice!
Owen only felt like his heart was being gently tugged by someoneâs hand. The force was not heavy, but it gave him the urge to rush into the phone and appear in front of her right away!
He wanted to make a phone call, listen carefully to her voice and see her face clearly!
But⦠he did not dare to do so.
He had to use someone elseâs identity to contact her so that she would barely pay attention to him.
He knew that if Hailey knew that âBensonâ was âOwenâ, then he would lose her contact once again.
He would probably be blacklisted and defriended by her.
Owen didnât dare take the risk, so he had to control himself as best he could!
He took a few heavy breaths before he steadied his hand and slowly typed another line, âThatâs good.
Are you in Birmingha, Engese now? Is it fun there?â
Hailey, âWell. Itâs fun here. But unfortunately, Iâm locked up and canât get out of the house for now.â
With her voice full of sadness, she complained to âBensonâ, like a schoolgirl being punished for a mistake.
After all, Benson was often locked up in the past, so they were the people sailing in the same boat.
Listening to her childish complaints, Owen couldnât help but laugh, and slowly typed with his long fingers, âLocked up? You poor thing. Who and why did he lock you up?â
Hailey, âItâs my brother, like the King of Hell. How can there be such creatures as brothers in the world, who specialize in bullying younger siblings? My brother is more horrible than your brother.â
Owen smiled crookedly. Was he very horrible?
How many bad things had Benson, the brat, said about him in front of Hailey?
Hailey had just sent this voice with her phone when Karl knocked on the door and walked in, scaring Hailey so much that she almost dropped the new phone Karl had given her.
âKarl.â
Karl asked, âWhom are you talking to?â
âOh, a younger brother.â
Hailey pressed the voice button again and sent a message back to âBensonâ, âKarl is coming over, and Iâll not talk to you. Your behave, and I will bring you delicious food when I return home.â
It was indeed the tone of coaxing a younger brother, so Karl didnât doubt it and just asked gently.
âWhen did you have a toy boy?â
Hailey, âWhat?â
