She’d just hung up the phone with Eleanor when Marina walked in with Yeager “Dr. Yeager, have you
had your breakfast yet? Do you want me to get some food for you?”
Yeager politely declined, “Thanks Marina, but I’ve already had my breakfast, so don’t trouble yourself “
Marina was always fond of these polite youngsters, unlike that Mr. Laurence who was always haughty
and expected Hailey to wait on him hand and foot
Marina chuckled and led him to the dining room, Hailey, Dr. Yeager came bright and early to see you”
Hailey was just about to go find Yeager, but seeing him already there, she invited him to sit down
Marina cleaned up Hailey’s leftover breakfast, then brought them both a cup of coffee
After Manna had finished her tasks, Hailey turned to Yeager, “I was just about to go look for you, didn’t

tightly, apologizing sincerely
“Hailey, I’m sorry I was too selfish yesterday I was the one who suggested you visit Mr Laurence, but I
couldn’t help but tag along Maybe I was scared you’d go back to him because he’s hurt I was so dumb
to try to keep you by my side this way, I didn’t realize my presence would piss off Mr Laurence. I’m
really sorry”
Yeager’s eyes were filled with regret, looking like he’d made a huge mistake, appearing extremely
quilty and helpless.
Hailey shifted her gaze away from Yeager’s face, looking down at the hands that were tightly gripping

provoke you, but you can’t bring your boyfriend to see him?”
“I was so mad, that’s why I took the chance when delivering flowers to go back to the room and give

too out of line, just spoke about our harmonious interactions. But he couldn’t accept it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hailey, Mr. Laurence’s feelings for you aren’t just shallow desires, otherwise he wouldn’t be unable to
accept it. He clearly still wants to have you, but I’m your boyfriend now He’s always hovering around
you, watching you, what am I supposed to do?”
Yeager laid out his selfishness, which made even the annoyed Hailey suddenly see things from his
perspective, and even felt that what he did wasn’t that unreasonable
“Hailey, the reason I didn’t tell the truth when Mr. Laurence questioned us was because the situation
