Chapter 332 Did He Intend to Abandon Her?

Hailey received a call from Brook while she was learning to bake from her teacher in the milk-scented kitchen.

Given that she wasn’t at home and couldn’t solve many problems on her own, she asked Brook to keep an eye on them.

Brook exclaimed at the other end of the phone, “You know what, Hailey? Mr. Reylond has an observant. eye. There were several times when he nearly noticed me.”

While shoving a tray of cookies into the oven, Hailey cocked her head to one side to hold her phone between her shoulder and ear.

“Did you follow them in person?” Hailey asked.

“I don’t have time to do that,” said Brook.

He sneered, “If I had the time, I’d rather hack several surveillance cameras. In fact, I asked a private detective to trail after them. Guess what? Another group of people is also investigating them.”

“Another group of people?” Hailey set the temperature of the oven, took off the protective gloves, and frowned. “Who were they working for?”

Brook kept her guessing. “Guess.”

“Owen?” Hailey asked.

Brook was speechless. “Damn it! You’re right! How do you know it’s him?”

“If it were someone else, you wouldn’t be so bored now,” Hailey said casually.

Sure enough, he would be dissed in the end.

Brook pursed his lips. “Do you want to listen to it not?”

“Sure.” Hailey’s voice became softer. “Please go on.”

Brook chuckled and told her the whole story. When it came to Alan, Hailey’s face changed again, and she frowned.

She sneered. “Alan is really affectionate.”

Brook remarked, “After all, Maya is pregnant with his child. He must be excited to have a baby at such an old the sake of the child, of course, he needed to get Maya out.” age.

“What a coincidence! She was found pregnant in the cell? Do you believe it?” Hailey said, words dripping with sarcasm.

“You mean she isn’t pregnant?” Brook asked in surprise.

The law protected women and gave them the right to apply for medical parole during pregnancy, but if Maya lied, she would be doomed.

Hailey remembered that Maya was still wearing high heels when she drove her car to hit Hailey at the gate of Century Mansion. As a homewrecker who dreamed of marrying a rich man, would Maya not take it seriously if she were really pregnant?

There was, of course, also a chance that she was truly found to be pregnant in the cell all of a sudden.

But considering her age, it was possible for her to go through menopause, and the chance of her pregnancy was slim to Maya touched her flat belly while lying in Alan’s arms on a soft bed.

“If only I were pregnant. Alan, I really want to have a baby of our own,” she said.

Alan leaned against the head of the bed and smoked silently.

Maya was immersed in her own thoughts. “In the past, I was particularly afraid of having a baby.

Compared with pain, I was more afraid of getting old and ugly. You know, women will be out of shape after giving birth. Their bellies will become horrible!” Alan thought to himself, “It’s not really that horrible.”

He remembered that when Polly was pregnant, she also suffered from a prenatal phobia, afraid of pain and worried that the baby would be unhealthy.

At that time, Polly asked, “Honey, what if I become ugly? I heard that I’d get stretch marks.”

Then Alan leaned against her big belly and soothed her softly, “Don’t worry, honey. You’ll never be ugly in my eyes.

Even if you have pockmarks on your face, you’re still much more beautiful than other women!”

“No!” Polly pushed him away and said, “I don’t want to have pockmarks on my face!”

Alan shamelessly clung to her and said, “Well, as long as you and the baby can be safe and sound, I’m willing to get pockmarks on my face for you.”

Polly had a difficult labor when she gave birth. She was crying inside, while Alan was crying outside, and he almost broke into the operating room.

When Polly finally gave birth to the baby and was pushed out of the operating room in exhaustion, Alan held her hand and kept kissing her, swearing to be good to her and the baby all his life.He still remembered every word of his promise, but what happened later? Why did he suddenly forget?

“Alan, Alan!”

Maya’s repeated calls brought Alan back to earth. In a trance, he looked closer and found that the person beside him had become another.

The woman to who he had made the promise was not by his side.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Maya sat up and cupped Alan’s face. For some reason, his absence of mind made her inexplicably nervous. Even when they had sex just now, he was not in high spirits.

She leaned over and kissed him on the face and lips. “How about we do it again?”

However, Alan turned his face aside, gently pushed her away, and got out of bed. “I have to go now.”

Maya was extremely disappointed.

Seeing Alan put on his clothes one by one, she got out of bed on her knees. She then hugged him from behind and sobbed, “Alan, do you dislike me?”

“No, don’t overthink,” Alan said, intending to take her hands away.

Nonetheless, Maya clamped on tight and refused to let him go. “Don’t leave. Stay with me, will you?”

“Sorry, honey, but I still have work to attend to,” responded Alan.

“How could work be more important than our baby?” Maya turned to look at Alan and said, “I’m serious, Alan. Let’s have a baby. I’m not in menopause. I can still get pregnant!”

Alan looked down at her and questioned, “Didn’t you tell me before that the doctor said you could never get pregnant again?”

“When did I…”

Maya was stunned and then remembered that she had had an abortion before. At that time, in order to make Alan feel responsible and guilty for her, she had indeed said something like that, but she almost forgot it.

“Yes, indeed.” Maya racked her brain and added, “But medicine is so developed now. Maybe I can get pregnant again with its help.”

Alan noticed her changing expression and said, “No need.”

He continued indifferently without any emotion, “I have a son, and I don’t need any other child. If you want to have a baby, we can break up.”

With that, Alan shook off her hands, put on his shoes, and walked out without looking back.

When the door was closed, Maya trembled violently.

“Why? Why is he so cold to me? Does he want to abandon me?”

Hearing the name “Alan,” Hailey got angry and felt sorry for Polly.

“I don’t want to hear about that shameless couple,” Hailey said.

She then asked, “Who is Mr. Reylond?”

“He’s a jerk, but according to his resume, he’s really brilliant. I’ve emailed his information to you. Just check it by yourself,” responded Brook.

After a brief pause, he added, “He seems to have quirks in that thing. Quite a hardcore guy. I’ve also sent you the photos. You may check them yourself. I believe you can unlock the password.”

The cookies were not ready yet. Hailey took off her apron and went back to her room to check the encrypted email from Brook.

After typing on the keyboard for a while, the information popped out on the computer screen.

Hailey quietly browsed Mr. Gary Reylond’s information and found that he became successful in his career just after his marriage.

That was to say, Gary, like Alan, came from a very humble background and clawed his way to success by relying upon his wife.

When Hailey scrolled down, she found several photos of Eliza and Gary.

Gary was very cautious. When entering and going out of the hotel, he and Eliza usually wore caps and masks. Some of the photos should come from the surveillance videos. In those photos, Eliza came out of her room with wounds on her face, as if she was hurt seriously.

Hailey squinted and thought of Gary’s quirk mentioned by Brook. Then she understood what had happened right away.

Eliza was leaning against Gary weakly, and it seemed that she enjoyed it too.

That pawn worked really hard.

Hailey even had the urge to award her a prize.
