Chapter 328 Exchanging Secrets “What do you mean I’m keeping’ a little friend?” Hailey said, “Karl, you make it like I’m keeping a sugar baby.”

Karl slightly raised his eyebrow, indicating that it was just what he meant. “Aren’t you?”

After being speechless for a moment, Hailey said, “Of course not! What kind of person do you think I am?” Although she indeed had had such thoughts at one time, she had never put them into practice after all… So she would never admit it!

“A little one is not your type,” Karl actually talked to her about this topic seriously, “but a tough guy who can look after and protect you.”

A tough guy… She would be lucky not to be eaten by one.

Now that they were talking about this, Hailey talked back to him, “A widow is not your type either. That Ms. May is not suitable for you.”

On his hearing of “Ms. May”, Karl’s eyes suddenly flashed with coldness.

Owen couldn’t put down the phone, repeatedly listening to the voice messages Hailey had sent him in reply, especially that one [Be good, I’ll bring you yummy food when I return.] which was so soft and tender that it melted his heart, making him rejoice so much as if he was floating on top of the clouds.

Even if these words had actually been said to someone else, he was still moved, pretending to be that “someone else”. How he hoped that one day, she would also talk to him in such an affectionate tone!

How wonderful would it be if these stolen moments could become his own?

He was so immersed in such tenderness that when he answered the phone call from his mother, his voice was much softer than ever.

Polly immediately realized that something was wrong with her son and asked directly, “Did Hailey contact you?”

Owen was speechless. ‘Is it that obvious?’

Karl looked at Hailey, saying indifferently, “I told you I have nothing to do with her.”

“Really?” Since she had come to this point, she had to figure out everything. “Even if you had sex? You are really becoming more and more open-minded,” said Hailey in a meaningful tone.

Karl frowned at her words, “Who told you that? Katherine May?”

“Who else could it be?” Hailey said in a rare tough manner in front of Karl, “She probably took me as a rival in love, so she came over and said a lot of inexplicable words to me. Anyway, just some petty woman’s tricks.”

As his lips compressed into a thin line, Karl put on a cold face as if he was extremely reluctant to talk about that woman. “Karl,” seeing that Karl was in a mood, Hailey softened her tone a little and said seriously, “I’m not a conservative person. If you want to start a new relationship, we will support you.

But you can’t pick a woman at random as if you are very hungry fi women. I don’t discriminate against widows, I just simply think Ms. May is strange and doesn’t look like a good woman.” “Indeed.” Karl talked about Ms. May even more rudely than Hailey, “So you don’t have to worry. I have a fetish about cleanliness and won’t touch anything dirty.”

Hailey was relieved to hear this but then became curious. “Who is that Ms. May on earth?” she asked confusedly. “She said she is the owner of Thrushcross Grange? How come she became a widow when she was so young?”

“That’s none of your business, don’t stickybeak.” Karl didn’t satisfy her curiosity and dropped his eyes to the table, “Is that a gift for Saul? What’s it?” He then stepped forward to have a look.

But Hailey quickly picked up the model airplane and hid it behind her. With her head slightly tilted, she looked at Karl and sa quite confidently. “Exchange She wanted to exchange secrets. He would tell her about Ms. May, and then she would show him what she had prepared for Saul as a thank you gift.

Karl looked at Hailey quietly, really feeling like kicking her ass.

On the other side, Owen did not hide it from his mother, and after a short silence, he gave a soft response, “Hmm, sort of.” Polly breathed a sigh of relief on the other side of the phone, “Anyway, it’s good to know that Hailey is safe and sound. I’ve been so worried these days. Polly was currently recuperating in Fenneth, basically calling her son once a day, and the relationship between them had become quite closer because of the long distance.

Fenneth was indeed such a good place with beautiful mountains and clear rivers that Polly did not want to leave after coming here.

“The scenery here is beautiful and the people are interesting.” Polly kept chattering, “I have spent my life on a group of experienced old people in the mall, playing tricks on each other. But only now do I understand that the most desirable life is a simple but peaceful one. Winnie goes to dig bamboo shoots with others every day, leaving me alone. Fortunately, I still have Master Gail’s company, and he is so funny…”

“Master Gail?” Owen noticed a name.

“Oh, just a naughty old man, knowing nothing about manners.” Polly laughed, “I don’t know exactly what he does, but everyone here calls him ‘Master Gail’. And I have no idea how old he is, he just won’t tell me.”

At the end of her words, there was a hint of a little girl’s sulk and complaint, which confused Owen for a while.

Polly shifted the topic quickly, “That Matthew also brought his father here. Little Katie is so happy about his coming, running home right after school every day.” Polly couldn’t help but laugh, “But Dr. Sears doesn’t like Matthew very much, always ignoring him and even treating Old Mr. Holland coldly, who then takes it out on Matthew.” She laughed gleefully as if she was looking on right now.

Listening to his mother’s gossip, Owen imagined Matthew’s miserable look and couldn’t help but laugh together with her. The call lasted nearly half an hour, and the phone was a little hot when it was hung up.

Owen held the phone, unable to come to his senses for a while. This was the longest call and also the longest conversation he had ever had with his mother. Even if it was just a phone call, he could sense his mother’s passion and vitality as if she had completely recovered and come to life.

It seemed that Fenneth was really a place to recuperate, and also a place to fall in love.

Owen tapped at the chatting records with Hailey and continued to listen to Hailey’s voice messages with earphones over and over again, thinking that he must take Hailey to Fenneth when she returned.

Perhaps, something would really happen between them there.
