Love Is Fair

Chapter 345 His Rival in Love

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Owen stood at the door of Room 88 for a long time before he raised his hand slowly and knocked on the door.

The door was opened from the inside. When Saul saw Owen standing at the door, he raised his eyebrows slightly and called out his name slowly, “Mr. Moore.”

He didn’t ask Owen what he wanted to do but stepped aside and extended his hand. “Come in, please.”

Owen gave a slight nod and walked in.

The suite was prepared for Brook, Hailey, and their other siblings. Brook and Hailey lived here most often. When her other brothers came to Poya, they sometimes lived in the Garden of Rose and sometimes in The Nomad.

The big suite had three bedrooms and one living room. The master bedroom was occupied by Hailey, and it was full of her things. The two bedrooms were clean and tidy, and Saul was sleeping in a bedroom near the balcony.

After inviting Owen in, Saul asked casually. “What would you like to drink?”

“Whatever.”

“Beer?”

“Okay.”

After two bottles of beer were opened, the two men simultaneously wiped the bottles with tissue.

Saul glanced at Owen and asked, “Are you a neat freak, Mr. Moore?”

Owen responded, “No. OCD.”

Saul smiled. “Me too.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The two raised their beer cans at the same time and drank silently.

Both of them were less talkative. They didn’t say anything even after half a can of beer was finished, but they didn’t feel embarrassed and just sat quietly, lost in thought.

After a long while, Owen asked, ‘Mr. Yerkes, are you here in Congland for Roger’s case?”

Saul looked up at Owen.

He didn’t blame Owen for asking this straightforward question so abruptly, nor was he surprised at Owen’s purpose. On the contrary, he appreciated Owen’s straightforwardness because it would save time and no more talking.

‘I came back to Congland to worship our ancestors, and I came to Poya because someone asked me for a favor,” Saul responded.

Owen’s dark eyes narrowed slightly. “Is that person Hailey?”

Saul nodded. “You can think so.”

After all, Karl was Hailey’s brother, and what he wanted to know was also what Hailey wanted to find out.

Owen was taken aback. “All right.”

He raised his head and drank another 1/4 of the beer. Then he pinched the can with his slender fingers, which made a sound.

Saul suddenly frowned as he noticed Owen’s irritation.

“You still care about her,” Saul remarked.

Owen suddenly stared his deep and bright eyes at him. There was not any irony or ridicule in them, but somehow, they helped him exude an aura.

Owen admitted frankly, “Yes, I care about her very much.”

“Since you care about her, why didn’t you cherish her?” Saul asked. “As far as I know, you have divorced.”

Owen was stung. He had thought he was numb, but he still felt heartbroken.

“Yes.” Owen choked. “Because of my wrong decision, I hurt her and pushed her away from my world with my own hands.”

Except for those who were close to him and knew what had happened between him and Hailey, Owen had never taken the initiative to mention it to anyone else. In the past, he thought it was unnecessary, but later… Every time he mentioned it, he felt his heart crack into pieces.

Owen had always been a person who didn’t like to recall the past, and he never missed the past. But now, he wished he could be reborn and go back to the past to start over with Hailey.

If Owen could travel back, he would not be such a bastard. He would treat Hailey well and love her wholeheartedly, just like how she had done to her in the past three years.

After divorcing Hailey half a year ago, Owen had a hard time chasing after her.

It was said that one could not really understand what others felt unless he experienced it. When Owen became the one who wanted to get Hailey back, he really understood her feelings.

“Loving someone is supposed to be a happy thing, but the premise of happiness is that the person you love also happens to love you.” A glum look cast over Owen’s face. “Otherwise, it can be heartbreaking.”

Love was tough but also fragile.

Once one gave up, it would be difficult for him or her to fall in love again.

Saul listened to Owen quietly.

Saul couldn’t imagine how the tough and brilliant girl had gone through the three-year darkest time.

Such a beautiful and lovely girl deserved the best in the world.

Including love.

After Owen finished his sentences, Saul said slowly, “She has persisted for three years. How long can you hold on?”

“What?” Owen was immersed in his own thoughts and didn’t get what Saul was saying.

Saul stared at Owen and said, “I don’t have any experience in love, and I don’t like to fight for a woman with others.”

Owen’s heart skipped a beat, and his dark eyes narrowed. “Do you want to chase after Hailey?”.

“It shouldn’t be surprising.” Saul remained calm. “It’s time for me to get married, and I also want a wife. I intend to develop an intimate relationship with Hailey.”

Owen stood up abruptly. “You…” He held the beer can tightly and crunched it. “You just met a few times. Don’t you think it’s too hasty?”

“Indeed, I only met her once,” Saul answered honestly. “That’s why I want to have more contact with her.”

The bottle in Owen’s hand was completely deformed. The beer sprayed out and splashed on his hand. A surge of anger bolted through his veins.

He was too careless!

If he had known that Saul really had a thing for Hailey, he shouldn’t have talked so much with this guy!

“You won’t have a chance!” Owen’s eyes turned red with rage. “You don’t know what Hailey and I went through. together. Nobody can break us up. You had better not ask for trouble.”

Saul said calmly, “How can I know if I don’t give it a try? I don’t need her to love me the most. I just hope that if we are together in the future, we will be the light of each other’s life. This is the meaning of a couple, isn’t it?”

The more serious Saul was, the angrier Owen became.

A couple…

“Dream on!” Owen yelled at the top of his lungs. He threw the beer can into the trash can and left.

When he arrived at the door, he stopped and suddenly remembered his purpose for coming here.

He turned his head and looked at Saul with his deep eyes. “Did you get any information when you interrogated Roger?”

Saul’s eyes flickered. He raised his head and drank the rest of the beer in the can.

“Karl!”
