“Oh, the fireworks have started,” Hailey reminded Christian.

Christian moored the yacht on the river, then he carried a small iron bucket that he had prepared beforehand and climbed up to the deck to sit next to Hailey.

When Hailey turned to look at him, she noticed the small iron bucket in his hand and asked curiously, “What is this?”

“Flares,” Christian said as he took out the flares. He lit one and handed it to her.

“Why do I suddenly feel like it’s New Year’s?” Hailey took it with a smile.

Although Christian was sitting down, he almost fell off the deck at Hailey’s words.

“Are you really telling me you feel you’re celebrating New Year’s right now in these circumstances?”

Hailey waved the flare in her hand and looked at the large fireworks bursting in the sky. She chuckled and said, “I only play with flares during New Year’s. Don’t they also have fireworks shows during the Lantern Festival every year?”

Christian wanted to cry. He thought his idea was romantic. Why did it seem like

    Hailey hung up the phone, feeling restless. Travis continued to think about monitoring her while attending the matchmaking banquet. Could it be that he really didn’t plan to date anyone from the banquet? Why did he dress up so grandly and beautifully then? Was it to surprise everyone at the banquet? Did he intend to instill a sense of unworthiness in the ladies, leading them to instinctively retreat? Hailey deeply doubted it. There were many brave women in the world who were ready for a tough challenge and would gladly approach Travis.There was no way they would withdraw automatically. She smiled. Anyway, it was just a thought. Still, she was quite puzzled. Even as she drove, she couldn’t hold on to the steering wheel as usual. Maybe she was afraid of Travis, as that man always kept his word. She arrived at the Heron Peninsula and climbed the stairs. When she opened the door to her house, she still felt like she hadn’t fully recovered.“Where did you go? You’re back very late.” Travi

    Hailey was confused. She wondered if she was sick; really sick. When Travis placed his hands on her waist, she shivered and felt her body instantly heat.She took a breath. Had she fallen in love with Travis? No, absolutely unacceptable. If this continued, she would be dead. After her horrified realization, she pushed Travis away.Travis suddenly felt disturbed. He grabbed Hailey’s wrist in confusion, pulling her over his head. “What are you doing?” he asked, a little annoyed.Hailey blinked and then gave him a fake calm smile. “Nothing.”Travis didn’t press further. Now was not the time for questions. He was excited to know that he and Hailey were only a hair’s breadth apart tonight, and that she had only discovered the location of his mating feast after her arrival.“A woman told me tonight that there were some issues in her family. If I helped her, she would become my wife. One of my women.” He wasn’t sure why he brought up Sophia Lambert to Hailey, but he felt a sudden desire to o

    At that moment, Travis had let Sophia get off first before following her. There was only a two-minute gap between them. That woman must have taken action within those two minutes if she desired to do so.Travis’s eyes narrowed. It’s not surprising that a reporter was standing behind his car.Later, someone blocked the journalist’s car, but he still took some photos.He vividly recalled the events that transpired. Sophia had scowled and cast a disgusted glance at the hotel, voicing her complaint that there must be celebrities staying there for this to occur.He was busy thinking about Hailey’s potential whereabouts. He stopped paying attention to the journalist’s car after seeing it blocked.The opening of the stock markets on Monday would reveal the impact of the interest rate news. Even if Travis had done nothing for them, the Lamberts’ situation would improve. Sophia, who had covered for him, could see this as a reward, but falling into someone’s secret scheme was very unpleasant.H

    Travis looked at Hailey, and Hailey returned his gaze. Their eyes met, and she blinked. “Last weekend, Grandma allowed me to go to the hospital and told me I didn’t have to return to the mansion. If I don’t go this time, it will be difficult to ask for permission next time.”Travis had already reached the door, but he turned around and came back in.Hailey was surprised. “Why are you leaving?”Travis stopped and addressed Sonny. “I will stay here this weekend. If someone from the mansion inquires, inform them I have not returned. Tell them you don’t know where I am. Bring me the documents I need to deal with here.”“But I’m going out now. Are you staying here?”It wasn’t a big deal for him to stay here, but the idea of him being here all weekend was unpleasant for Hailey.Travis frowned. “Can’t I stay here?”“Of course you can,” said Hailey, somewhat hesitantly. “But there won’t be anyone at home. I’m going to the hospital, and Layla isn’t here. Who will cook for you?”“Who made break

    Gary’s message was straightforward. Regardless of whether the rumors were true, he offered Hailey his congratulations. It appeared as though Luna’s dreams were on the verge of disintegrating. As long as Luna couldn’t become Hailey’s sister-in-law, he felt relieved.Hailey’s eyes sparkled. Even Gary, who paid little attention to gossip, seemed to know the news. By now, Luna herself should know about Travis Blake’s scandal. Hailey capitalized on Cynthia’s message, which was like Gary’s. As expected, their relationship turned out to be genuine.She quietly deleted both messages. If she responded now, they would end up talking for a long time. It was better to wait until Travis was out and then respond.It’s unfortunate that Hailey, in the interest of her long-term planning, informed Luna that they would be strangers in the future. As a result, Hailey could not contact Luna, as doing so would have revealed her plans to her. Otherwise, Hailey wouldn’t miss the chance to call and provoke Lu

    While everyone was busy spreading gossip about Travis Blake and Sophia Lambert, Travis was quietly working at Hailey’s house.He had moved his office from the study to the living room to monitor Hailey, who was currently resting on the couch.However, Hailey didn’t feel any of his sincerity. After playing his game for so long, her head felt even dizzier than before. She sank into the couch, getting ready to watch TV on her tablet. She didn’t want to disturb Travis while he was working, so she reluctantly stood up from the couch to find her headphones.“What are you doing?” Travis asked.“I’m going to get my headphones,” Hailey replied.Travis frowned. “Where are they?” he said, setting aside his papers and standing up.Hailey looked at him blankly. “Huh?”“Where are your headphones?” Travis was tempted to check Hailey’s temperature again to see if she was burning up and had become mute from the heat. But she hadn’t become dumb the last time she had pneumonia, so she should be fine thi

    Hailey was more obedient over the weekend. After all, her illness could account for any unusual behavior, not her usual self. She would heal when the weekend was over.“I think it would be okay to let loose a bit,” she thought.Travis watched in disbelief as Hailey sat on his lap, facing him. Originally, he didn’t want to do anything tonight, mainly because Hailey was sick. Therefore, he didn’t expect her to be so bold.The veins on his forehead throbbed. “You’re still sick.”“It’s okay.”Hailey smiled seductively. “I won’t pass it on to you.”She then paused briefly and added, “If you’re still worried, why don’t you take some medicine before sleeping as a precaution?”Travis was eager to delve into Hailey’s mind to understand her thoughts.The same incident occurred when she was drunk the previous time.“You can’t possibly behave differently when you’re tipsy?” he asked.Hailey smiled. “Humans are multifaceted creatures. So, of course, we would behave differently in front of differen

    Travis’ tutor was Professor Antonio, an elderly man with grey hair. He spoke English fluently and adored the local culture. Travis was more patient when talking to Antonio, as if he were still a student discussing assignments.He spent the entire morning walking around Holtbay City with him and then joined him for lunch at noon. As the evening approached, the old man said he needed to buy some souvenirs for his family.“Let’s see what they would like.” Antonio pulled out his phone and began scrolling through his notepad. He picked up an oil-paper umbrella, a rattle drum, a plush toy, and a few dresses. I remain items.He then enthusiastically turned to Travis: “My great-grandson is coming in two months, so the rattle drum and plush toy are for him. My daughter wanted an oil-paper umbrella. She also desired a dress, as did my wife.”“That’s your grandson, great-grandchildren are the children of your grandchildren.” Travis stared at the word “dress” and instantly remembered Cirrus embro

    “Has my mother left?” Travis asked, even though he already knew the answer.Hailey pretended to smile and said, “What a great moment. Don’t tell me someone already informed you of what happened here?”Travis didn’t even blush despite Hailey’s statement and said, “I don’t know about your closed-door discussion.”Hailey looked at Layla, who approached her with a thin blanket and said, “I’ll tell you later.”“Okay. I’ll go now,” Travis said as he hung up the call.Layla covered Hailey, who was resting on the couch, with the blanket. The air conditioning temperature was low.Soon after, Hailey’s phone rang again. It was Travis once more. She didn’t hesitate and answered the call.“My mom is here,”

    Thalia was very punctual.Hailey, Layla, Harry, and Laura stood up and greeted her by the driver’s seat.Originally, Layla wanted to greet her with all the servants standing in a row. However, Hailey said it was unnecessary. She did not organize something so extravagant when her in-laws came last time even though the two were looking for a fight. However, Hailey believed it was more important for her to greet herself. Everything else was not as necessary. Not to mention that with all the servants around, it would be challenging to keep a low profile. They might also be curious about how she would act when Thalia was present. That’s why she managed without them.If she overdid it and accidentally leaked into the main mansion, someone would say she was trying to butter up Thalia.After Thalia exited the car and saw Hailey greeting her at the entrance, she smiled and wrapped her arms tightly around Hailey

    Travis addressed Eva normally. He called her “aunt.” But Eva was so used to being called Madame Winters that she felt uncomfortable with the new term.“Ms. Blake...” She only got out two words when Travis interrupted her.“You’re my elder, so call me Travis,” Travis whispered.If any of the Blake family members had been here, their eyes would surely pop out of their sockets. Travis rarely spoke with such respect, and only a few people had been worthy of such consideration. His grandmother was one of them.Eva’s lips trembled. In the end, she couldn’t say his name. “You... What did you want to tell me?”Either way, there was no way out. She had heard too many unfortunate news, so she thought she could probably bear one more.Travis’s response caught her off guard. “I would like to talk to you about Hailey,” he replied calmly.“Eh?” Eva was f

    Fortunately, Travis didn’t press on about the friend or the photo. After hearing Hailey’s response, he lowered his head and returned to the financial news section.Hailey breathed a sigh of relief. After finishing her breakfast, she gathered her things and prepared for her visit to the hospital. Her uncle’s surgery was scheduled soon, so she wanted to keep him company as much as possible before that.Travis did not know that Hailey was going out. According to his usual schedule, he usually headed to the mansion before lunch. Judging by his bare face and comfortable clothes, she could guess his destination.However, she still asked, “Where are you going?”“To the hospital,” Hailey said.“Yesterday, I went to the mansion and informed Grandma in advance. I can go to the hospital directly now.”Immediately, Travis dropped everything and stood up. “I’m coming with you.”

    When Travis appeared, Hailey continued to check both the study room and the bedroom. The sight of him shocked her greatly.“Didn’t you say you would come back tomorrow?” she asked, confused.Travis was supposed to return from his business trip tomorrow, but here he was.“I finished my work early, so I returned,” Travis replied. He didn’t tell her he had returned a day earlier because Hailey had instructed the servants to clean the villa and store his things to welcome his mother.Hailey said, “Oh, you came back just when I had someone helping me clean up the place. Can you go back to the Imperial Garden tonight? Don’t come tomorrow night either.”Frustrated, Travis questioned the obvious. “Why?”Hailey raised her eyebrows. “Don’t you know? Mrs. Thalia, your mother, will come to inspect my house in two days. I was worried she would check the upstairs, so I kept all

    “About what you mentioned earlier... I think it’s a good idea.”The following day, Travis suddenly brought up this topic to Hailey.Hailey still felt quite dazed, with a bewildered expression. “What?”Travis was calm. “About getting Uncle Liam and Aunt Rowena to have another child.”Hailey instantly woke up. Travis’s words quickly dispelled her drowsiness. “What? Why suddenly?”Travis replied, “I just said; suddenly, I feel like it’s a good idea.”Hailey touched Travis’s forehead and then felt her own. “Do you have a fever or something?”Travis gently removed her hand and held it in his palm, with a serious expression. “I’m serious.”“Serious? Doesn’t it sound like you’re trying to separa

    Hailey was taken aback as if Travis had said something truly horrible.“I don’t know.” She was silent for a while. Then she asked with a blank face, “Can’t you finish this contract before anyone finds out?”Travis tightened his grip on Hailey. Unable to control his strength correctly, he was about to crush her jaw.“Ah...!” Hailey cried out in pain and tried to pry his fingers off.But Travis had no intention of letting go. Hailey’s words were sharp and painful needles that pricked his heart.“So, was it all a misunderstanding? Did she not care for me at all?”At that moment, Travis had never doubted his sixth sense more.“So, what you’re saying is: if someone finds out about us tomorrow, you want to cut ties with me today?” he asked, his face grim. With each word, his heart hardened even more.Hailey thought, “I guess Travis isn’t d

    Christian was a complete gentleman to Hailey. They were friends, but not the kind who had known each other for a long time and could make inappropriate jokes. Therefore, their behavior seemed normal to everyone—everyone except Travis.Travis’s expression had always been icy, so his attitude was nothing unusual to everyone. Even Helena couldn’t tell what he was thinking, let alone anyone else.After dinner, Christian drank some wine and became bolder. He boldly asked Hailey to go out with him over the weekend, saying he had plans with some friends to hike in the suburbs. If she was interested, they could go together.Hailey could feel everyone’s eyes burning holes in her. She smiled, “I’m not sure if I’m free this weekend. I’ll let you know when I’m sure.”Everything seemed normal and harmonious, at least until dinner ended, and Hailey got into the car. After she drove away and lost sight of the o

    When Hailey went to sit down, she looked at Travis. His gaze was elsewhere, and he wasn’t looking at her.Christian, who had been paying attention, noticed who she was looking at. He assumed she was afraid of Travis and sighed with sadness.Since Hailey was being so cautious, he also had to be careful. He didn’t want to make things difficult for her. He knew Hailey was shunning him. If she felt the Blakes would misinterpret things if she got too close to him, she would keep her distance.When Christian arrived at the office building a moment ago, he noticed something. Hailey now had a driver and a bodyguard. The two people accompanying her were probably her driver and bodyguard. They even shamelessly followed her to the company! What the hell happened? Why didn’t he hear anything about this?He had to find the opportunity to ask her about this carefully. Thinking about it, he conclu
