Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 Cute Boy

Hailey had no idea why Polly was so shocked. “Polly, are you all right?”

Polly came to her senses. “Yeah, I suddenly felt that I was too lenient with Owen when he was little. I should have been stricter. You’re

skilled and knowledgeable. Owen is good at nothing except annoying people.”

When Owen was mentioned, Polly was full of disdain and sounded like a stepmother. It seemed like all parents disliked their children.

Hailey remembered what Nancy always liked to say.

“Geez, you’re clumsy. Your dad and I are both smart. How come we have such a stupid daughter like you? I wish I could stuff you back

into my belly and have a new baby.”

Hailey found it harsh to the ear and shot back, “Whatever, I’d like to see if you can have another baby as smart, pretty, and cute as me.”

Nancy itched to pinch her. Scott stopped her mother. Her dad held her in his arms and saved her from the disaster. “We won’t have

another baby. I’m content to have my daughter. No one will share my love for her.”

Nancy snorted, “You’ve spoiled her. If you continue to act this way, she will be beyond hope.”

“It’s okay. I’ll get her back.” Scott lifted Hailey high in the air, “Sweetheart, I just want to spoil you.”

Those sweet and happy days. She felt nothing back then but could not experience it again. She was dismayed.

Polly steered the conversation back to the topic. “Who did you leam it from?”

Hailey replied honestly, “A housekeeper who followed my mother for years. They were like sisters to each other. They were as close as

you are with Winnie. She grew up in a family of craftsmen. Her ancestors traded embroidery and her skills were amazing. I was bored at

home and often wore out of my clothes. I would turn to the housekeeper for help. She could always see me through trouble. Seeing that I

was interested, she taught me embroidery in her spare time. I was a quick and patient learner. As time went by, my skills were honed.”

She unfolded the story in a funny and confident way. Polly listened and laughed. “My friend is interested in your embroidery work and

wants to know you. I’ll introduce you to each other when there is a chance.”

“Good,” Hailey agreed.

They chatted for a long time. Albeit reluctantly, Polly ended their conversation since she had taken much of Hailey’s time. Hailey then left

with his bodyguard. Winnie waited for a long time and came out to find Polly. The hostess was seen wheeling herself toward the ward,

and she hurried over.

“Hailey is gone?”

Polly hummed.

Winnie then asked meaningfully, “How was your talk?”

“Pretty good.”

Pretty good? Winnie beamed, asking, “So, Hailey agreed to be with Owen again?”

Polly frowned in confusion. “Well, we didn’t talk about that.”

“No?” Winnie was surprised, “You guys chatted for a long time. What did you talk about?”

Hailey curled her lips with amusement. He was like a mascot of the hospital when he stood there. She went over and patted the boy on

the shoulder. He looked back and saw her.

“Hailey.” A gentle smile immediately appeared in his eyes. Jeremy was not surprised to see her there.

Hailey said, “What a small world!”

“Actually, Jeremy’s eyes twinkled, “I’m here just to see you.”

Hailey was stunned. “Huh?”

Jeremy laughed, “Just kidding. I came to North City for training, and one of my teammates broke his leg. I took him here and saw you in

the corridor, so I’m waiting here for you.”

“I see.” Hailey raised her hand. Jeremy naturally bowed his head before she flicked him on the forehead.

She put on a straight face and chided him, “No more jokes on me.”

Jeremy smiled, “Got it.”

“How is your teammate by the way? Have you found him a doctor?”

“A sprain, nothing serious. He has seen a doctor.”

“Okay.” Hailey sized him up and frowned, “It hasn’t been long since we last met, but you lost weight again. Are you free tonight? I’ll treat

you to dinner.”

“Yeah.” Jeremy’s eyes were clear and vibrant with the vigor of a big boy, “Dinner is on me. I’ve got the reward of the match.”
