After returning to the mansion, the old lady inquired about Layla’s husband.

“He had an X-ray. Turns out he had a crack in his shin,” Hailey said honestly. “He’ll probably have to rest a lot.”

The old lady then instructed the butler to send Layla some gifts as consolation.

“Layla’s son- and daughter-in-law are not around, so it’s natural for her to have to handle the matter on her own,” Lilian said.

“I don’t know how long she’ll be out, and a week will just stretch it.” We’re concerned that you don’t have anyone to take care of you, so I’ll appoint a new maid for you. It’ll be beneficial to have someone around, you know?”

Hailey knew she couldn’t refuse. Refusing would force her to come back here.

“Alright, thank you, grandma.”

She didn’t bother asking who would be appointed, either, because, after all, it didn’t matter.

By midday, they had decided. The newly appointed maid was a middle-aged woman named Peggy Reynolds.

Claíre wasn’t sure if Travis Blake had bribed Peggy, but she didn’

    Thinking back, this was the exact hotel where their ill-fated relationship had begun. “I thought you would ask me to go to the Imperial Garden,” Hailey said as soon as she entered the room. Travis Blake replied, “It’s beneficial to have a change of scenery once in a while.” Hailey’s eyes lit up.“Are you already getting worn out of it?”Travis Blake asked, “What do you mean by that?”“I mean our rooms.” Travis Blake caught her between his arms and the wall. In a dangerous tone, he said, “You seem to be in an excellent mood lately.” Hailey thought for a moment and replied, “Yes, more or less.”“I thought you would feel uncomfortable with someone else watching over you, and that might bother you. It seems I was wrong.” Hailey chuckled.“It would bother me quite a bit if this happened back then, but now it feels different.”“What do you mean by that?” Travis Blake narrowed his eyes. ‘Then? Now? What is this woman saying?’ “I won’t tell you.” Before Travis Blake could get frustrated with

    “Please prepare me some dinner, thank you,” said Hailey.“Travis Blake is a monster, he didn’t even give me time to eat. All he gave me was a little chocolate to regain my strength. Even though he told William to get her a cake, Hailey didn’t particularly like sweets. After eating so much chocolate, she didn’t feel like eating cake at all.”Peggy headed to the kitchen, not noticing anything else about Hailey besides her exhaustion. Hailey was very cautious, she didn’t even use shampoo when she showered at the hotel, worried it might leave a smell.Peggy thought, she was probably working overtime. It didn’t matter if she did or not; as long as she reported everything she saw, if Mrs. Rowena suspects this, she might ask the manager about it.After dinner, she took a hot shower before going to bed. Thinking about what Travis Blake said earlier, she suddenly felt embarrassed.Tossing and turning, she buried her face in her pillow, lifting her head after a while. Then she turned off the li

    Many were interested in Hailey’s response upon hearing Dalila’s question. Everyone in the company originally thought that Hailey and William were dating. Although the two kept denying it, they continued to believe the rumors. After a long period of observation, it was revealed that they were not dating. Both didn’t act like friends at all, let alone a couple.Many had talked about their relationship, but Hailey just wanted to familiarize herself with the work here. She paid little attention to anything else. Besides those working in the CEO’s office, she only knew a few of her other colleagues. Therefore, it was natural that such gossip about her couldn’t reach her, most would only talk about it behind her back as well. Hailey jumped at the realization that she had overlooked this issue. She never intended to act as a friend to William in the office, so she never thought about how often she should contact him.“I guess people would think our relationship is really strange, although I

    Hailey returned his gaze, confused. “What? I did nothing wrong, Mrs. Sears is quite pleased with my work today.”Travis lowered his head and signed the documents. “I have to remind you.”“Hmm?” Hailey listened attentively.Travis then returned the documents to her, expressionless. “If you’ve done something wrong, flattering me will be useless.”Hailey chuckled and understood what she meant. “I wasn’t trying to flatter you, just stating the truth.”Travis was so handsome that he could be ethereal.Travis noticed a change in Hailey recently. The sad, gloomy aura that surrounded her back then had completely faded away. He did not know what had happened to her, but it was enough to bother him.He frowned and pondered, dialing William’s number at last.“Put the bag in Hailey’s car, now,” he said.At that moment, William was reading the introduction of a new security system, so he didn’t follow. “What bag?”Travis retorted, “How many bags are in the trunk?”William froze for two seconds bef

    Travis instinctively tried to catch Hailey. Because of the impact, he had to use more force in his arms. However, Hailey paid little attention, as she had also grabbed him on impulse. Their foreheads ended up colliding with each other, which was extremely painful. As they both held onto their foreheads and looked at each other, Hailey noticed something worse. Travis was also holding his chin and lips, with his eyebrows furrowed. The impact also caused him pain.Her heart sank, ignoring the pain in her head completely, and she explained, “It wasn’t my intention, I slipped.”She thought it was best to explain, otherwise, this man might misinterpret her actions as if she intentionally threw herself at him and failed. If he really thought that way, she would be in big trouble.Travis took a deep breath. “I must be Hailey’s enemy in our past lives. I’ve been hurting myself ever since I met her. I hurt my hand, then my leg, and now my jaw almost dislocated because of her.”He looked at her,

    “Are you sure you’d like to sleep here?” Hailey seemed hesitant.“Is there a problem with that?” Travis gently furrowed his brows.“No, not at all.”“This is your family’s property; why would anyone have a problem with me staying here?”“Then I’ll sleep on the couch outside,” Hailey said as she headed to the closet, trying to find a blanket for herself.Travis’s eyes followed her, and he asked with a blank face, “Why are you sleeping on the couch?”Hailey pulled out a blanket and turned to look at him, puzzled. “Aren’t you sleeping here?”Travis retorted, “Are you saying this bed is too small? Do you think you won’t have enough space?”Hailey was now even more confused, unable to follow Travis’s words.“Small? But it’s not.”“If it’s not small, why are you sleeping on the couch?”“Isn’t it you who is...?” Suddenly, realization struck Hailey’s mind. “You... I mean, can I also sleep in the bed?”Travis continued checking his phone. “I meant nothing. If you prefer to sleep on the couch,

    Hailey heard the door open. Travis had stopped talking, so she reflexively turned around and saw him looking at her.Surprised, she stopped moving. Then she thought to herself, “Uh, if I scream right now, it would be too dramatic.” There was no better word to describe it.She calmly put on her skirt and then asked, “What’s up?”Hailey’s words shook him out of his daze. “Toothbrush and mouthwash.”“Oh, yes. I have some spares. Wait, I’ll get them for you,” Hailey quickly put on a shirt and rushed to get Travis’s toiletries.When she finished scrubbing, Hailey was already waiting for him with a bottle of concealer in her hands.Travis casually sat in the chair. His head was slightly tilted, eyes closed.Indeed, this man looked like a young man from a wealthy family, no matter what he was doing. Hailey briefly admired Travis’s imposing yet elegant behavior in secret and then concealed the bruise on his face.Before touching his chin, she paused. “This doesn’t count as touching your face,

    Michelle lowered her head the moment she heard Hailey say that Travis would take her out to socialize. Although it seemed strange to her that Travis would take Hailey out, it was not incomprehensible. After all, they were both part of the Blake family.Michelle carefully recalled and analyzed what her father had told her. Hailey was in an uncomfortable situation within the Blake family. Perhaps the Blakes were employing alternative methods to make Hailey understand the responsibilities of being a family member, such as working tirelessly for the family’s well-being. It made little sense for Hailey to have a luxurious car and a free house.Michelle smiled calmly. She wanted to use Hailey, but she didn’t want to act hastily before getting to know her thoroughly.She refused to behave like Delilah. She could already imagine how Delilah would end up.Michelle was different; she wasn’t that foolish. She would definitely marry into the Blake family, as she had always planned.Within the Blak

    “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
