Love Is Fair

Chapter 243 A Group Of Father-in-laws
Hailey’s house was only two streets away from Moore Mansion.
Century Mansion was a quiet and elegant wealthy community on a prime site. It had its own library, near the
police station and next to the biggest antique market in North City.
It was not Brook’s first time coming there. In fact, the house was under his name. When he was about to pay,
his eldest brother transferred a sum of money to him and asked him not to do it in installments.
So this house was chosen by Hailey, under Brook’s name, and paid by Karl for the full amount.
Of course, Owen knew nothing about all of it, but Hailey didn’t say that only to hurt him.
They say that a home will always be a safe harbor for people. During Hailey’s three years in North City, she
could not return to her home, so she found a place to stay temporarily.
The first year of marriage was the most difficult time for Hailey. At that time, Owen was in poor health. It was
also a hard period for his recovery. For a special police officer who used to be very strong and deft, lying there
and being unable to take care of himself was really worse than death.
Owen was hard-boiled. He would never allow himself to cry in front of others and never opened his heart to
others. No one dared to provoke him, so the atmosphere in his ward was always stressful.
In that year, Hailey was his nurse and then became his wife. In fact, she was the most intimate person with him.
at that time, and also the person affected by him the most.
At that time, she hadn’t walked out of the grief of her parent’s death, nor did she have any extra energy to
support him.
His negative emotions kept hurting her. For a long time, she had no way to release her emotions, and all she

could do was bear it.
That year was a dark period for Owen, and it was also hard for Hailey, and Room 1107, Unit 2, Block 11 of the
Century Mansion was the only place she could relax at that time. Hailey left North City only for two months,
and not much had changed in the house.
It was a second-hand house. The previous owner was a famous indoor designer, so the decoration showed ant
extraordinary sense of design. Hailey liked the style very much, so she didn’t make a lot of changes after
moving in.
She hired a clean lady to take care of the apartment, so when she arrived, the room was clean and bright. “Aunt, is this your
house? It’s lovely.” Catherine’s hands were still tied behind. She jumped to the window and
looked at the blue lake and the beautiful garden below.
“How could you still have the mood to enjoy the scenery? Come with me.”
Hailey asked Brook to take a break in the living room and carried Catherine to the master bedroom.
As soon as they entered, Catherine turned to Hailey and begged: “Auntie, could you untie me first?” Hailey said lightly: “Will you
still try to run away from home?”
“I won’t,” Catherine said quickly, “I’d rather die than run out of home again.”
Hailey said coldly, “Then if you run again, I will let you die for sure.”
Hailey left a car for Ryan and asked her assistant Patrick to stay and wait for him.
After talking with Matthew, Ryan took the car and left.
Owen asked someone to follow Ryan and tried to find out where Hailey was living now.
He had no idea that Hailey had bought an estate in North City, and what she said stabbed deeply in his heart
like a knife. ‘I brought a house here in the first year of our marriage. It was convenient for me to go to work

and to take a breath from your bad temper.’
Owen only felt somebody had stuffed a handful of gravel into his chest, and he could hardly breathe. How “bad” was he at that
time to make her feel so depressed that she needed to escape from their home to gain.
a moment of relaxation?
He knew that he was not a great husband, but he didn’t know he made her suffer so much.
After sending Ryan away, Matthew didn’t feel more relief. Instead, he felt stuffy as if someone had just punched
him in the chest.
Matthew threw a cigarette into his mouth, raised his eyebrows at Owen, and asked, “Would you like a drink?”
Catherine was about to sit down next to Hailey, but Hailey said coldly to her, “You stand there.”
Catherine immediately stood straight up.
Hailey raised her eyebrows and asked, “Do you know what you did wrong?”
Catherine lowered her head and murmured, “Yes.”
“Look at me when you are talking!” Hailey snapped. Her voice made Catherine raise her head in shock and
looked at her timidly, “Aunt...”
She usually acted like a spoiled child at home and made jokes to her elders, but it was all because they loved her.
In fact, she would also be afraid when they were really mad at her. In particular, she knew her elders wouldn’t
let her go easily when she had done something wrong with matters of principle.
Hailey’s expression was cold, “We don’t want to make you feel embarrassed in Moore Mansion. Do you really
think you can muddle through this time?”
Catherine shook her head obediently and didn’t dare look at her aunt’s livid face, “Auntie, I really know I’m
wrong.”

Catherine lowered her head and knelt.
Hailey looked at her coldly, “Tell me, what do you think you did wrong?”
Catherine admitted her mistake this time, saying she should not run away from home and let her family worry
about her, and promised she would never do it again. Her words were fluent and a bit more sincere than when
she was in Moore Mansion.
Hailey shook her head, “These are your faults, but not your biggest fault.”
“Huh?” Catherine raised her head blankly. What else did she do wrong?
Crack!
Two packets of pistachios were thrown on the stone table.
Owen, who had just opened the wine, looked at the two packets of “appetizers” that Matthew had brought, and
raised his eyebrows, “Where did you get the pistachios?”
Matthew sat on the stone bench, poured the wine into the glass, and said, “The little girl had left her schoolbag
here. I dug it out of her bag, and it was quite well hidden.”
Owen frowned and asked, “How do you dig through a child’s stuff? Don’t you have any self-control?”
“I’ve always been casual, don’t you know?”
Matthew opened a bag of pistachios, took one, peeled the shells, stuffed it into his mouth, and said lazily,
“Anyway, today Brook agreed to give me two packets of pistachios, and I could consider these two packets as
his. So I will take them as his gifts to me.”
Denga
He grabbed a handful and gave it to Owen, “Do you want to have some?”

Owen shook his head, “Beware of indigestion.”
Matthew snorted softly, “This is no different from peanuts, what kind of indigestion could I get? Come on,
drink for the sad men like both of us!”
Owen was forced to lift his glass to Matthew, with a look of disgust, “Say that for yourself.”
“Isn’t it?” Matthew grinned and sighed, “We shouldn’t like a girl from Newman’s family. There are too many
brothers-in-law to deal with. If we cause any trouble, just this group of brothers would be enough for us to get
a headache!”
Owen glanced at him lightly, “Don’t think that way. To me, they are a group of brothers, but to you... Isn’t it a
group of fathers-in-law?”
“Pfft” Matthew just sprayed his wine out.
He choked and thought bitterly: What the hell had he ever done to have so many fathers-in-law?
