Chapter 358 Her Ex-Husband’s Gift (1)
Hailey didn’t expect that she would cry for Owen one day.
She used to love him wholeheartedly, and now she cried so hard for him as if she would cry out all her tears for the rest of her life.
When she was young, she longed for love, but if it was such a tormenting thing, she would rather never be in a relationship with anyone.
In this way, she would still be like a princess who lived in a fairy tale without worry and sorrow, and the happiest thing every day would be to look at the photo of the person she loved secretly, imagining that one day she would be with him, put on the wedding dress, and become his bride.
Unfortunately, things went south for her, and she would never go back to the happy time of the past.
“I’m the end, did I owe him? Or did he owe me?” she wondered.
After Owen’s funeral, Hailey was about to go back to Poya with her brothers.
When she was about to leave, she received a call from Polly.
Polly made an appointment with her at the cafe near Century Mansion.
Hailey respected Polly much, so she could not refuse.
They used to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but now they were sitting face to face, speechless.
In the past few days, the two of them had been more haggard.
Seeing Hailey’s pale face, Polly felt distressed and said softly, “Hailey, you’ve lost a lot of weight.”
“You too.” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Obviously, Polly looked much older than ever, making Hailey sad. She held Polly’s hand and added, “Please take care. I will come to see you often.”
“All right.”
Polly’s voice was choked with sobs. She wiped her tears and patted Hailey’s hand. “I’m here to talk about the will.”
Hailey was well-prepared for this and expressed her attitude.
“Aunt Polly, what I said in the Moores’ old residence is serious. I don’t want anything Owen left for me. Just keep it.”
“I know you don’t need these, but you deserve them.”
After a brief pause, Polly sighed, “In fact, before Owen made the will, he had asked for my opinion. You have been married into the Moore family for three years, and we all know that you are filial and sensible. It was all your credit that Owen could fully recover. And I appreciated that you helped me get out of that failed marriage. You brought me too much comfort, as well as other family members. We are not ungrateful people, but all remember your kindness. When you divorced Owen, none of us took his side. We all knew that it was his fault.”
Upon hearing those words, Hailey lowered her head and stroked the coffee cup. “It’s all in the past. During the three years when I was in the Moore family, I still remember how nice you were to me.”
She had said more than once that if it weren’t for the kindness of the Moores, her marriage with Owen wouldn’t have lasted for three years.
“Owen doesn’t owe me anything. I didn’t take anything when we divorced, and now it doesn’t change.”
After all, the young lady of the Newman family was never short of money.
All she wanted was pure love.
“I see.”
Polly stared at her and continued, “When you divorced Owen, he gave you a check for twenty million, but you refused to take it. I knew you didn’t care about his money at all, so I scolded him at that time. You took care of him for three years, but he just gave you for twenty million, which was a shame for him. However, he said that he didn’t want to pay the money at one time. because he was afraid that it would be unsafe for a girl to take too much money with her. He planned to wait for you to settle down and then pay the rest. The apartment and house in Grace. Residence and Elegance Residence were bought by him a long time ago. These are the keys.”
Just then, Winnie gave Polly two keys, and then she gave them to Hailey.
“Aunt Polly, I won’t…”
Hailey wanted to return it, but Polly held her hand.
“Hailey, please don’t refuse. Think about the shares again. Of course, I won’t force you. If you manage Crystaldale and take over the Mazedew Group at the same time, you will be very tired. I don’t want you to suffer.”
After a pause, Polly added, “As for these two houses, if you don’t want them, I will have no idea how to deal with them. I don’t have a son, and you are my only daughter-in-law. Just take them as my gifts for you.”
Holding the two keys, Hailey felt depressed.
When she was about to leave, Polly said softly, “The apartment in Grace Residence has been decorated for a long time. You can go and have a look. Owen said that he left something for you. there.”
Later, Hailey and Sofia went to Grace Residence together.
The moment she opened the door of the apartment, she smelled the fresh fragrance of roses.
“It smells so good.”
Sofia sniffed and added, “It smells like you, Hailey.”
Hailey didn’t say anything but put on her slippers in the hallway.
There were three bedrooms and one living room, and the decoration style was very modern and simple, and warm. Even the sofa was bright yellow.
Sofia pursed her lips and said, “It can’t be Owen’s design style at first glance. It must be done by a designer.”
However, Hailey was stunned because she was familiar with the color and fabric.
When she lived in the Moore Mansion, she didn’t like the cold color of the room. Although she liked the decoration, Owen hadn’t recovered yet and had to lie at home at that time.
In order to cheer him up, she went to the decoration market for several days, intending to make the house beautiful and warm.
Therefore, she chose the bright yellow cloth, which was used for the bed sheet and sofa cover.
When she took them back, Owen obviously disliked it, but he just pouted and said nothing.
At this moment, Hailey just pursed her lips and said nothing, just like what he used to do.
Sofia had already walked in without hesitation. All of a sudden, she shouted, “Hailey, come here and have a look!”
“What’s wrong?”
Hailey followed her voice and saw a large cloakroom filled with all kinds of bags, boxes, and dolls, as if it were a party for a child.
She didn’t even have a way to walk in.
“What’s going on? Did Owen buy them for you?”
Surprised, Sofia squatted down and picked up a bag nearest to the door. When she opened it, she saw a card in it.
On the card, there were some words written by Owen.
“A twenty-six-year-old birthday gift for Hailey.”
“Hailey, look!”
