Chapter 355

Chapter 355 Her Ex-Husband’s Will (1)

In the evening, Matthew came to the cemetery with sunglasses.

A gentle breeze blew over, but he didn’t hold an umbrella, letting the cold rain drench his body. The usual playboy suddenly became depressed.

He took off his sunglasses, revealing his clear watery eyes. He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and coughed repeatedly.

In fact, Matthew and Lucas had been busy these days.

As Owen’s best friends and comrades in arms when he was alive, the two of them handled his funeral well.

Lucas saw Owen die before him, and Matthew didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye to Owen. When Matthew went to meet Owen after hearing about the accident, Owen was sent to the cold morgue.

They didn’t expect that Owen would die.

“In the past, we had survived so many difficult tasks in the army.” Matthew blew some white

smoke and coughed again. In a hoarse voice, he added, “I didn’t expect him to just leave without saying goodbye to me. Damn it!”

Hailey squatted in front of the tombstone. In the photo, Owen had a serious face and a pair of beautiful, narrow, and deep dark eyes, as if he had a lot to say.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t hear him anymore.

Matthew couldn’t hear him say “goodbye.” Hailey couldn’t hear his “sorry” anymore.

It was raining heavily. Karl and the others drove Jason back while Hailey got in Matthew’s car and wanted to have a drink with him.

Karl frowned but didn’t stop her. “Take care of yourself. Don’t get drunk and vomit!”

Hailey promised she wouldn’t.

Jared cast a warning glance at Matthew and said, “Take good care of her.”

It was rare for Matthew not to argue with Jared. “Don’t worry. I’ll drive her back before 9 p.m.”

Matthew and Hailey went to a music bar. When they entered, a singer was singing a folk song with a guitar.

There were not many people in the bar. It was quiet.

Matthew had wanted to order some fruit wine for Hailey, but Hailey glared at him and changed it to red wine.

She was not here to taste wine with him but to get drunk.

After she drank a large glass of wine, Matthew reached out and stopped her. “Don’t drink so much! Otherwise, people will think you die with Owen for love.”

The words “die with Owen for love” made Hailey vomit all over the ground. She choked on the wine and coughed violently.

“Well, look at you…” Matthew walked over, patted her on the back, took out two pieces of tissue, and handed it to her.

The waiter came over and took a mop to clean the floor. Matthew gave him two hundred as a tip and thanked him.

As Matthew spoke, he smelled cigarette.

Hailey lit a cigarette and took a big drag on it, looking dejected, unlike her usual self at all.” Matthew took a deep look at her and felt as if he had traveled back to half a year ago when the first time he saw her in The Nomad. At that time, her eyes were full of sadness, and she also looked willful.

Only Owen could make her become like this.

“What are you doing?” Matthew snapped. “Are you getting yourself out of control because of Owen’s death? Or do you regret it?”

Hailey raised her eyebrows and stared at him with her red and cold eyes. “Regret? For what?” Matthew said, “You regret not forgiving him.”

He looked at Hailey and asked in a choked voice, “You still love him, don’t you?”

Hailey was smoking and didn’t say anything.

A beam of light flashed over, causing pain in her eyes. She squinted slightly, and her eyes became blurred.

Owen was dead. It was meaningless to talk about whether she still loved him or not. She just didn’t expect him to die.

The power of death was too great. It made a person completely disappear from the world.

When a person died, everything seemed to become less important.

People didn’t want to think about his bad side anymore. Instead, they remembered his good side, and the injuries he had caused no longer mattered anymore.

The music paused for a while. Someone ordered an old classic song, “Ten Years.”

The familiar melody rang.

“If I hadn’t spoken in a trembling voice, I wouldn’t have found that I was sad. How could I say that? Say I want to break up with you?”

“If we never intend to get married and just fall in love, sooner or later, one of us will leave…”

One of them would leave…

The cigarette between Hailey’s fingers trembled slightly and burned her finger.

And it also stung her.

This song was so familiar that the guests in the bar even sang it in unison.

“Ten years ago, I didn’t know you. You didn’t belong to me. We were still the same. We stayed with a stranger and walked on the familiar street…”

Hailey, on the other hand, burst into tears.

She remembered a book she had read, which happened to be called “The Ten Years When I Loved You Most.”

There was a sentence saying, “the gentle wind from the South can’t withstand the cold from the north.”

She brought tenderness to Owen, and he returned her with coldness.

Later, when he wanted to give her tenderness, she shielded herself with cold armor and isolated herself from him.

In the end, it hurt both her and him.

There was always karma in love.

She had to bear the consequence of what she had done, Hailey believed.

Hailey didn’t get drunk tonight. Rather, she just felt a little cold and… unprecedentedly exhausted.

She felt empty in her heart. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Matthew had found a designated driver. When he was about to take Hailey into the car, a black

Bentley pulled over at the entrance of the bar. The window was rolled down, revealing Karl’s calm face.

“Get in the car.”

He was still worried about his sister.

Brook got out of the car and draped a large shawl over Hailey’s shoulders. Smelling the scent of her body, he frowned and asked, “You not only drank but also smoked?”

But looking at her pale face, Brook didn’t have the heart to blame her. He just looked daggers at Matthew and helped her get into the car.

Matthew stood at the entrance of the bar and felt cold when he saw the Bentley slowly driving into the dark night.

Matthew looked up at the night sky. There were few stars in the sky tonight, and the night was unusually dark.

Suddenly, Matthew’s phone rang. He picked it up without even looking at it. A clear female voice sounded on the phone, “Matt, are you all right?”

Matthew stared at the night sky and suddenly asked, “Do you think people will really become stars in the sky after they die?”

The girl on the other end of the line answered firmly, “Sure!”

As soon as Hailey got into the car, her phone rang. It was from Polly.

Hailey answered, “Good evening, Aunt Polly.”

Polly said on the other end of the phone, “Hailey, can you come to our old residence tonight?” “Sure.” Hailey agreed and asked with concern, “Are Grandpa and Grandma not feeling well?”

“No.” Polly’s voice was shaking as if she was trying to control her emotions. In a hoarse voice, she responded, “Owen left a will and mentioned you.”
