Thomas had gotten the news of Hailey’s return from Owen. It was easy for him to tell that Hailey and Owen were
in a fight.
He was ignorant of the reason for their fight, but he sided with his granddaughter anyway. He was protective of
Hailey no matter how good Owen was
Right then, Raphael showed up, and Thomas made him another option for Hailey.
Thomas thought that his granddaughter was outstanding enough to have the best man in the world to be her
husband.
Thomas left the room before Hailey figured out his intention. Hailey felt it rude to leave Raphael when she was
alone with
him
“How is your health” Raphael asked with a faint smile. Hailey responded, “I'm fine. | fainted perhaps because |
was starved. Thanks for your help”
With a smile that reached his pretty eyes, Raphael said, “You've thankedmany times.”
Instantly, Hailey blushed with embarrassment and said, “I know that spoken gratitude seems a bit perfunctory.
Without you, | might have frozen to death. Since you are here, lettreat you to dinner.”
Without hesitation, Raphael accepted the invitation in a soft voice.
He then added, “I didn’t know that you are Thomas's granddaughter. What a connection!” He sounded warm and
looked gentlemanly, so Hailey felt at ease.
Hailey gave a smile as her response. Right then, her phone rang, and it was a call from an unfamiliar phone
number.
After a moment of hesitation, she answered the call and said, “Hello.”

“Miss Dalton? This is Henry Lester speaking.” From the other end of the phone can old voice.
“Mr. Lester.” Hailey was a little surprised. “Are you feeling better?”
Henry chuckled. “I'm fine. | have been discharged for quite a while. Well, you cfor my help, didn’t you? | feel
grateful for what you and Owen did to me.
Let’s meet when you have time. Don’t forget to bring the script with you.”
What a good surprise to Hailey! She quickly asked, “Are you willing to work with me?”
With a serious tone, Henry joked, “Yeah. Letmake it clear first. Don’t blme if the viewership is awful.”
“I won't. What do you think of a meeting at the Dalton Entertainment?” Hailey suggested. Henry agreed.
“Is something up? Do you like a free ride?” Raphael asked.
The call from Henry was the best surprise for Hailey in recent days, so her smile becbright. Shaking her
head, she said, “Thanks, but no.”
Raphael nodded with a smile. Then, he said, “By the way, Thomas toldthat you had found yourself a house. |

Hailey was taken aback, and she then asked, “Do you plan to buy a house?” Raphael nodded and said, “I think |
will work at Hallon City.”
His original plan was to settle down in a city he liked after he traveled around the country. He changed his heart

first encounter with Hailey.
Sadly, Hailey was too distant and cold for Raphael to approach her. When he thought he wouldn't see Hailey
again, their second encounter happened.
Raphael considered this second encounter his chance, and he intended to slowly approach Hailey by staying by
her side.

Hailey thought for a moment and then gave her opinion. “Find a place close to your company if you will work
here. In this way, you won't be late for work because of the traffic jam.”
“Where do you live?” Raphael asked directly. Hailey was shocked. “Me? I live in Riverside Estate.
Without hesitation, Raphael commented, “It’s a nice place. It is quiet.”
“It is remote,” Hailey explained. Raphael gazed at Hailey as he said, “Not a problem. One should live where he
likes.”
After the flash of a smile at her, he lowered his eyes and took a sip of his coffee.
A weird feeling got Hailey, but she didn’t know how to describe it. Therefore, she kept her mouth shut.
“Sorry that | have to leave now.” She sounded apologetic as she stood up.
Raphael nodded and said, “I should leave, too. Why don’t we bid goodbye to Thomas together?”
Hailey nodded in agreement. She and Raphael then went to the backyard and said goodbye to Thomas.
Thomas was very happy. “Are you two leaving for a date? Go, and enjoy yourselves.”
“What date? Grandpa, watch your words,” Hailey grumbled while glancing at Raphael apologetically.
Raphael had a smile on his face and said nothing.
“Kid, I'm doing this for your good.” Thomas tapped Hailey’s forehead. “Alright, go.”
Hailey and Raphael then left Thomas. Hailey stopped in her tracks the moment she walked out of the house.
Raphael did the swhen he sensed Hailey’s abrupt move. He turned his head and asked in a low voice,
“What's wrong?”

Hailey didn’t answer the question, and her gaze landed on a black car ahead.
Raphael followed Hailey’s gaze and met a pair of cold eyes behind the car window which was half open.
That pair of eyes was oppressive and intimidating, but Raphael didn’t flinch.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and held Hailey by the shoulder as if he read her mind.
Hailey raised her head and looked at Raphael with confusion. “Mr. Park...”
“Hailey, callRaphael.” Raphael lowered his head and gently smiled at Hailey. He then moved the other hand
towards her
ear.
She subconsciously dodged his hand but was prevented by a gentle pull. His eyes flickered with an
incomprehensible light as he said, “Don’t move. You got something on your ear.”
To Owen, Hailey and Raphael seemed quite intimate. Owen expressionlessly got out of the car and walked
towards any and Raphael.
Out of the corner of her eye, Hailey spotted Owen's shirt. Owen was tall and slender, and the black suit made
him look aloof and distant.

Hailey was used to the soft and affectionate Owen, so she found him unfamiliar at that moment. Raphael looked
at Owen, and his hand seemed fixed on Hailey’s shoulders.
After an elegant chuckle, Owen sneered. “Could you please move aside? You are in my way.” His tone was so
cold as if Hailey were a stranger to him.
As her heart sank, Hailey felt that Owen was different from before.
