Ivan’s tone was light.
Arthur lowered his head and said nothing. His expression was pained.
Ivan didn’t bother to ask more. After waiting for a few seconds, seeing Arthur was unwilling to speak, he prepared to leave. “If you don’t want to tell me, I’m leaving.”
He was not in the mood to watch Arthur struggle.
Tve known her for long, around middle school, Arthur said. He lowered his head. “My family was ordinary and even poor. In the third year of junior high school, my mother was seriously ill
“Alright, you don’t have to go on, Ivan interrupted Arthur. He could roughly guess what would happen next.
He added. “You had no money to treat your mother, so Amy helped you, right? Not only do you owe her a favor, but you also owe her money.
Arthur admitted everything.
Ivan smiled coldly. “Amy has feelings for you, and you can’t reject her, right? You can only accept her
Arthur lowered his head and did not speak, but it was obvious that he had tacitly agreed to everything
“You’re easy to manipulate.” Ivan was speechless. “Anyway, whatever the reason is, you cheated on Casey. I suggest you explain it to her yourself. Are you going to lie to her for the rest of your life! Even if you don’t say it and I don’t, can you guarantee Amy won’t tell?”
“There’s no need for either of you to tell me. I heard everything: Casey’s voice suddenly came from behind.
Seeing Arthur had not returned for so long and Ivan had gone out, Casey was a little worried and came out Unexpectedly, she happened to hear that.
Casey’s eyes were red. It was obvious that she had cried. There were still tears on her eyelashes.
Arthur panicked and called out with a trembling voice, “Casey.”
He walked towards Casey and lowered his head. After a long time, he said with his head down, “I’m sorry.”
He did not have the cheek to ask for reconciliation or have the right to beg Casey to forgive him.
“We’re done,” Casey said bluntly.
Arthur’s eyes turned red. After a long time, he said, “Okay.”
Casey turned around and walked towards the private room.
Ivan followed up with her. Although he wanted to beat up Arthur, it was not the right time.
Casey found out about it too suddenly and should be very upset. Ivan was not in the mood to find trouble with Arthur. Of course, he would remember this.
Casey returned to the private room, took her bag, and left with the excuse that she was unwell.
Hailey was about to follow when Owen stopped her. “Ivan is with her.”
Hailey looked up and saw Ivan following behind Casey. With Ivan around Casey, Hailey was a little relieved.

“Oh right. Hailey suddenly remembered something and looked at Owen seriously. “Tell Ivan not to take advantage of Casey Casey is a traditional girl”
Owen nodded and sent a message to Ivan.
The tip of Ivan’s tongue touched his cheek when he received the message. He replied, [Am I that kind of person?|
Owen: You are.]
Ivan blacklisted Owen immediately.
Casey was at a loss. After leaving the bar, she ran amok on the road. She could not see or hear anything. If not for Ivan, the would have been in trouble.
Ivan grabbed her collar and dragged her to the side of the road. He told her off resentfully, “You’re broken because of a scumbag Casey, can you have some backbone? You’re the apple of the Medrano family’s eye. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You grew up in the admiration of so many people. Do you have to demean yourself for such a jerk?”
Casey lowered her head and said dejectedly, “Ivan, you don’t understand.”
Ivan smiled. “I don’t understand, huh? What don’t I understand? I’m a playboy in love. I can tell what you’re thinking, okay?”
Casey ignored him and turned to leave.
Ivan slowly followed behind her. “If you want to deal with them, I can help you. If you continue to be a love–struck fool, I’ll kiss you.”
Casey stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him in disbelief. Her face was a little red.
She cursed, “Why are you so shameless?”
Ivan raised his eyebrows. “Yeah, I am shameless. So what?”
Too mad to speak anything else, Casey strode away.
Ivan’s legs were long, but he still followed her unhurriedly.
Casey couldn’t take it anymore. “Why are you following me?”
Ivan replied. “I’m afraid you’ll do something stupid.”
“It’s none of your business.” Casey was furious as she thought. This guy is so annoying!
“If you’re feeling bad, vent it out. What’s the point of taking it out on others? Come on. Do you want to go for a drive or drink? Just say the word, and I’ll take you there. Ivan did not care about her attitude at all.
After two seconds of silence, Casey said, “Drink.”
“Alright.” Ivan hugged Casey’s shoulder. “I’ll take you to a fancy bar
Casey silently broke free from his hug. But Ivan was not angry. He just smiled and led the way in a great mood.
On the other end, it was getting late. Hailey and Owen still had to catch the plane the next day, so they left.
Quailridge Town was in the county. They had to take a plane to the downtown and then take the train to the county. After reaching the county, they would take a bus to town
By the time they reached, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.

Chapter 92
Hailey walked on the limestone road in town with her suitcase, feeling a little sentimental.
Her childhood memories were already from her previous life. The memories were blurry in her mind. She only remembered she was much happier then than now and was carefree.
She tilted her head to look at the man beside her and pointed at a small stall before her. “Thats the best bakery in town. Although it looks humble, it was my favorite when I was young
Owen was dressed casually. He looked like a nice big boy from the next door but could not hide his noble aura.
He smiled. Then I’m going to try it tomorrow.
Owen was seriously observing this small street, imagining Hailey’s past in his mind. Living there should be carefree.
The two walked for ten minutes before reaching the Brown family. Knowing they were coming back tonight, people from the Brown family were still awake.
People in the town rested early. At that moment, only a few houses were still lit.
Greg was waiting at the door in his old cotton–padded jacket.
When Hailey saw him, she shouted eagerly, “Dad!” Then, she rushed over.
When she left, her adoptive father did not come out to see her off, but Hailey knew they must be worried about her.
Greg’s eyes were slightly red. It was unknown if it was because of the cold or because of the strong wind
He turned his head and sniffed his nose which was red from the cold. He shouted, “You’re finally home, Hailey. Come in
Tears welled up in Hailey’s eyes, and she nodded with a lump in her throat.
Owen said nothing and silently followed behind.
It was much warmer inside the house.
