In the quiet room, Hailey could hear her heart beating clearly. She pressed the answer button anxiously."Are you back?" She asked anxiously.A low magnetic voice sounded in the quiet room, "Well, I'm coming back. I'm leaving for home now."Hailey was released. He was coming back! She could look for him at any time once he was back."Alright, I'll wait for you." Hailey replied gently."I'll be back tomorrow morning. I'll contact you as soon as I'm back." Emiliano's voice sounded tired.Hailey could feel it and her heart ached for him. "Are you tired? You need a good rest.""Alright, I will. I'll see you when I get back. See you tomorrow.""See you tomorrow." Although Hailey was reluctant to part with him, she hoped that he would immediately go to rest.Hailey heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the call on the other end hanging up. Feeling not sleepy anymore, she turned on all the lights in the room. She came to the mirror in the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her ey
Three days later, Hailey's adoptive parents booked a plane ticket to return home. Aaliyah chose to stay here at last. They lived in an apartment in the center of the city owned by Giovanni.Hailey could not speak what happened between herself and Aaliyah, so she did not refuse her father. In her father's eyes, Aaliyah's family was a great benefactor, and he would always be grateful to them.Considering that she had been taken good care of by her adoptive parents since she was young, Hailey chose to accept it, even though Melia had gone too far.Seeing that her parents had returned, Aaliyah thought that staying by Hailey's side would stop her and Emiliano's feelings. In Aaliyah's eyes, she hoped for two results.Firstly, she could replace Hailey to take over Emiliano's emotion. Secondly, even if she failed to take the place of Hailey, she would try her best to break them up. She absolutely would not accept that Hailey had a better future than her.If she married Emiliano, she would sim
Hailey blanked out for a few seconds. She endured the pain, but her eyes turned red from pain. She looked at Aaliyah, who was furious. She had no idea how she had offended her. "Sister" Hailey muttered to herself."Sister, who's your sister? Hailey, how can you make a move to the man I like?" Aaliyah suddenly grabbed onto her shoulder and shook her forcefully. "Listen carefully, Emiliano is mine. Stay away from him."Finally, Hailey knew the reason why Aaliyah was so angry. It turned out that she didn't look for her parents but went to the restaurant. Did she see herself and Emiliano?Suddenly, Aaliyah pushed her away, sitting down on the sofa with her arms crossed angrily. "Come here, tell me what you did to seduce him," she said in a commanding tone.Hailey took a slight breath. She had been aware that she was not her parents' biological child since childhood. Therefore, she never dared to rob Aaliyah of anything as she grew up. She did not dare to offend her. She would give up anyt
Hailey changed into a long skirt. She was anxious that Emiliano had waited outside for too long. She did not want to be a procrastinator. In addition, Aaliyah was asleep in bed. She could not make much noise in case of waking her up.Hailey gently opened the door. Looking at the man dressed in a luxurious suit outside the door, she blushed instantly.Upon seeing him, she thought of the kiss from last night, the kiss that made her heart flutter.Emiliano liked to see her blush. She was cute and innocent, like a pure lily dyed with multicolored light."What's wrong? Are you afraid to see me?" Emiliano teased her in a low voice."No." Hailey muttered with her back towards him.Emiliano's gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of somewhere. He saw that there was still a small portion of the zipper on her beautiful back collar that had yet to be zipped up!He couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Was this girl going out so recklessly? If she didn't zip it up, wouldn't she be naked?Thinking of th
That night, Hailey was sleepless. Mela slept soundly beside her. Because of the wine and bad mood, she was extremely tired.Hailey, who was lying beside her, looked at the ceiling above her head. What appeared in her mind was the kiss on the balcony of the next room, the kiss that had actually happened, causing her heart to beat faster.Besides, Emiliano's confession was like a dream, real and dreamy. How could she dare to expect that she would be liked by him?However, everything impossible turned possible. Mela turned around beside her, startling Hailey. All her thoughts were stopped. She looked at Mela's sleeping face and sighed.It was somewhat difficult, but there was also some indescribable pressure.In a bedroom of the Hamilton family' mansion, eight hours had passed since Arthur's medication had taken effect. At this moment, people around him were all top—notch medical researchers from the Hamilton family. Archer and his wife did not close their eyes for a single night, stayin
Probably because the medicine was still there, Hailey was holding the man's tightly around he waist after her head went blank for a few seconds. Because he was too tall, she raised her toes. They were intoxicated by the kiss.Emiliano was overjoyed by her response. A trace of ecstasy flashed in his eyes He felt a joy that no achievement in his life had ever been able to achieve.Feeling her body was burning up, Hailey didn't take long before she buried her head in his chest shyly. She was bewildered by this kind of electric shock.Emiliano couldn't continue, because he was already stimulated enough tonight. This kiss was already the limit he could endure. Otherwise, he really didn't know if he would lose his mind.Looking at the girl buried in his embrace, a guilty surged in Emiliano's heart. He hugged her tightly, bent down beside her ear and apologized in low voice, "Hailey, I'm sorry, I like you."His words seemed to be contradictory. He apologized for liking her, as if his love, w
