Chapter 353 Her Ex-Husband’s Funeral (2)

Hailey was here.

She didn’t want to come, as if she could pretend that nothing had happened as long as she didn’t watch Owen being buried.

But it was useless to escape.

Karl said that Hailey and Owen had loved and married each other in the past. She was obliged to see him off.

Hailey took off her sunglasses and stared at the photo on the tombstone with her red and dry eyes.

What a familiar face!

She quickly recognized that this should be a photo taken when Owen just came back to take over the family business after his retirement from the army. At that time, he was a little tanned and energetic, with the youthful spirit of a soldier.

When they first met, Hailey was amazed by this face.

She dreamed of this face countless times at midnight. In her dreams, he smiled at her and talked with her seriously.

After marrying him, Hailey could finally look at him openly. She would never ever get tired of such a perfect and stunning face.

This was the man she had loved for half of her life…

Tears welled up in Hailey’s eyes, and she fought them back.

She bowed to the tombstone, and the bodyguards behind her followed suit.

Hailey was a little weak and couldn’t straighten up for a long time. She slowly stood up and turned to Abby, who was covering her mouth and sobbing. She then gave Abby a hug, and her voice choked with sobs. “Grandma, I’m sorry.”

Resting her head on Hailey’s shoulder, the old lady cried so sadly that she trembled.

Hailey’s arrival was the greatest comfort for them.

Tears streamed down Polly’s face.

Alan handed over a handkerchief, but Polly didn’t take it. He gathered his courage and hugged her.

Polly, who was sorrowful for her son’s death, was too weak to push him away.

In Polly’s opinion, they, as Owen’s parents, should be responsible for the end of their son’s life.

If they hadn’t quarreled and tortured each other for so many years, their son wouldn’t have become selfish and indifferent without the ability to love others.

It was the first time that Alan had been so close to Polly over so many years.

It was not that he was not sad. Owen was Alan’s only son, after all! The fruit of Alan’s love for Polly.

Alan still remembered the joy when he held his son in his arms for the first time.

At that time, they were so happy. He looked at his newly born son and his wife as if he had owned the whole world.

However, love couldn’t rival time in the end. The marriage of a tough wife and a weak husband was defeated by gossip and daily life. Alan lost himself in the temptation.

He had always been a selfish person. He knew this well and never felt sorry for anyone.

But Alan really felt sorry for his wife and son.

He owed them too much.

When Maya, who was standing not far away, watched Alan holding Polly and comforting her in a soft voice, Maya pursed her lips, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred.

“I didn’t intend to tell you about it at this time, but since you pushed me, don’t blame me, thought Maya.

“Don’t be too sad, Polly!” Maya took two steps forward and comforted Polly with tearful eyes, “From now on, my child is your child. In the future, let me and Alan’s child will take care of you.”

Alan glared daggers at Maya and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Child?”

“Yeah, I’m pregnant with your baby.” Maya blinked at Alan as she touched her belly.

Alan was stunned and suddenly looked down at her belly with his eyes wide open.

He asked in disbelief, “You’re pregnant?”

“Yes!” Maya nodded and couldn’t help smiling. But when she thought that it seemed inappropriate to smile on such an occasion, she quickly held it back.

Alan was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that Maya was really pregnant.

When he thought he was going to lose his only son…

Polly had already recovered from her grief. She dodged Alan’s hand and said in a calm and cold voice, “Get out with your woman and baby.”

Looking at Polly’s cold face with tears, Alan got flustered.

“Polly, don’t be angry. I really didn’t know she was pregnant with my child. I really want to get back together with you…”

Abby couldn’t stand it anymore. She pointed at Alan and scolded, “Can you not be so shameless? Your son is dead! Why do you still come to make us sick now? Did we do anything to hurt you before?”

Abby was so angry that she fainted, and the scene was in chaos.

Steven was so furious that his face turned livid. Regardless of whether it would be embarrassing, he roared, “Drive them out! Don’t let them dirty our Moore family’s cemetery!”

Hailey gave the old lady a checkup and helped walk her up.

The medical staff who had been on standby immediately carried the old lady onto the stretcher and examined her body.

The bodyguards tried to drag Alan, Maya, and Eliza away, but Maya slapped the bodyguard.

“Don’t touch me with your dirty hands! You’re bullying a pregnant woman! Believe it or not, I’ll call the police!”

With a long face, Alan snapped to Maya, “Enough is enough! Don’t you think it’s shameful enough? Get out of here!”

He asked Maya to leave, but he had no intention of leaving with her.

“If you don’t leave, I won’t either.” With a stubborn look on her face, Maya said to Polly, “I’m sincere, Polly. You only have one son, Owen. But he’s gone. I’m willing to let you raise my baby.”

Polly remained expressionless without any intention of talking to Maya at all, and she simply let Maya’s words wash over her.

However, as soon as Maya finished speaking, she was slapped hard across the face.

The strength was just right. It absolutely hurt, but it didn’t make Maya lose her balance.

Maya got enraged as she felt a sharp pain in her cheek. She covered her face and glared at Hailey.

“How dare you slap me?”

Hailey looked at her coldly. “Why not? You brazen bitch!”

Maya glared at Hailey. “Believe it or not, I’ll…”

“Sue me?” Hailey sneered with disdain, “Just go ahead.”

Suddenly, there was a dull thunder in the sky, and it rained again.

The reporters turned the cameras around and filmed this scene. Unfortunately, Hailey’s face was blocked by the umbrella, so they couldn’t capture it.

In a slightly cold rain, she said in a casual yet bossy manner, “Owen is gone, but I’m still alive. Don’t ever try to bully anyone of the Moore family! I’m Aunt Polly’s child. From now on, I’ll take care of her.”
