The holidays passed quickly. Every morning, he would pick up Hayley and play outside for the whole day. They would go to parties at night and send her home before 12 o 'clock.

Hayley left early and came back late. She could hardly see Helen. If she had anything to say, she would leave a note or the maid would pass on a message.

That night, the maid told Hayley that Madam asked her not to go out tomorrow because a guest was coming. Madam asked Hayley to stay and meet the guest.

"Did she say who it is?

Who is coming? "

The maid shook her head. "Madam didn't say who it is."

"Who hired you?

Madam doesn't even know where to find servants, let alone Madam. "

"We … we only met Madam."

"Were there any guests at home before I came back?"

"There were no guests.

If we're talking about guests, Mr. Phoenix is the first. "

Juven's eyes widened.

"Okay, that's all." Hayley waved her hand and asked the maid to go away.

"Then I'll call you tomorrow morning." He grabbed her hand and kissed her fingers.

"Don't be too early. I have to get a good sleep."

"Is 8: 30 okay?"

"It's too early."

"8: 31."

"You're so annoying!"

"Then 8: 31 it is.

Wait for my call. Don't wake up too early. "He hugged her and kissed her deeply for a while before leaving.

The next morning, he called at 8: 31 and woke her up.

"You're so punctual." Hayley lay in bed and yawned lazily.

"I miss you so much. I've missed you for eight hours and forty-five minutes since last night," Juven said in a low voice.

"Don't you need to sleep?"

"I fell asleep.

I mean, I've been dreaming about you all night.

Babybear, say you love me. "

"I love you.

I want to call you 'honeybear'. "

"Okay, that's good.

We're a pair of stupid and cute bears. "Juven sighed in satisfaction." If you can go away, call me. I'll pick you up. "

"Okay."

The guest arrived before 10 o 'clock.

Lucia came up to call her.

She chose a fluffy skirt of pearl pink satin and organza, a pair of milky white kid boots, and a headband of pink organza studded with pearls.

He casually picked a creamy white velvet jacket for his top.

Helen was already entertaining the guests. Seeing that she was dressed like a Barbie doll, she didn't say anything and introduced her. "This is Aleksandr Bashrov. You can call him Uncle Alex.

This is Alex's son, David. "

Aleksandr Bashrov was born with a dignified appearance. He was more than 190cm tall and sturdy, but he wasn't fat. Instead, he was very sturdy.

David Bashrov was also over 190cm tall and handsome. He was the David that Hayley knew before.

Hayley was very surprised. "David —"

Alexander reached out his hand first. "Hello, Hayley."

Hayley shook hands with Bashrov and his son.

This was really strange!

When did Helen know David's father?

Aleksandr was a first-generation Russian immigrant, while David was born in New York. Aleksandr was eloquent and witty when he first arrived in the United States. Aleksandr was very eloquent and witty. Hayley listened attentively and noticed that Aleksandr skillfully avoided the process of how he made his fortune and only talked about some interesting things.

Helen liked this very much. She was very interested and listened attentively.

Hayley looked at David from time to time. David also paid attention to her. After a while, he said to Alexander, "Dad, I'll show Hayley around the yard."

"Helen, let the young people play by themselves." Although it was a question, he had already made the decision for them.

Helen looked at her daughter. "Hayley?"

Hayley nodded and stood up.

"Hayley, do you think it's strange that the two of them are together?" David asked as soon as they stepped out of the door.

"I remember that your mother is still alive. She's not divorced."

"You're right.

Did Hari tell you? "

"I just casually paid attention to it. I don't need anyone to tell me." Hayley didn't care at all.

They were all adults. No one could control what they wanted to do.

David didn't seem to care either. "How are you doing in Berkeley?

I heard that Harry met with a big rebuff from you. He was very angry. "

"He asked for it.

Why?

Are you going to stand up for your good friend? "

David smiled. "I'm not that kind of person.

Money isn't enough to pursue a girl. "

Hayley agreed. "Even your father has to spend effort to make my mother happy if he wants to pursue her."

David smiled faintly. "Yes.

I'm very surprised!

He's never spoken to me in such a gentle tone since I was young. "

"Then you're really pitiful."

He reached out and grabbed her left hand. "Come, come here.

I've lived in this house before. I didn't live there for very long, about a year. I heard that you go out to play every day. You must not have seen this house properly. "

He led her around the house and talked to her along the way.

When he mentioned that Alexander had already transferred the ownership of this mansion to Helen, Hayley wasn't shocked. She asked about the current price. It was about four million US dollars. When he bought it back then, it was definitely less than four million US dollars.

The atmosphere during the meal was also good. It was harmonious.

Alexander obviously wanted to please Helen as much as possible. He also cared about Hayley. He asked her how she was doing in Berkeley, whether she was living in a student apartment or an apartment outside. How was the environment? Was the community safe? Was it hard for her to study? He also said that since it was the first time Hayley left her mother, she would be living in Berkeley for four years. She must be careful. Then, he told David to send Hayley to Berkeley when the next semester started. He also asked her to check the surrounding environment of her apartment to see if there were any hidden dangers.

Hayley watched as the topic slipped in the direction that she couldn't control.

David was also a little surprised by his father's strange way of thinking, but he still agreed obediently.

After the meal, they rested for a while. Then, he took Helen and her mother to the clubhouse to play golf.

Alexander mainly played with Helen and didn't pay attention to his son.

David asked, "Do you want to play?"

"Not really." She was not interested in a middle-aged game like golf at all.

"Then let's go further away." He drove a golf cart and took her away.

Hayley didn't quite understand. "It's fine if the two of them come. Why do they have to bring you and me?"

"Maybe they want me to spend more time with you." David said casually.

"Do you want to date me?" She tilted her head and looked at him.

"Yes.

I've tried to date you before, but you never came alone. "

"Then you should know that I'm not interested in you or Hari."

David slammed on the brakes. "Yes, I know.

But I don't understand. You haven't even tried. Why do you think I'm not suitable for you? "

"I don't like you or Hari.

I treat both of you equally. "Hayley said coldly.

"Then you shouldn't have agreed to go out with us!" David was a little embarrassed and angry.

Hayley immediately jumped out of the golf cart. She didn't know where she was going and just walked along the road.

David angrily slammed the steering wheel a few times. Seeing that she walked forward without looking back, he felt that he was very funny and drove the golf cart to catch up with her.

"Hayley, Hayley!

I'm sorry, don't be angry. Come on, you're going the wrong way. "

Hayley ignored him and turned to walk back.

David had to drive forward for a while and then turned back. "Don't be angry. I said something wrong. I apologize." He stopped in front of her.

She tried to go around, but unexpectedly David got out of the car and hurried to her. Seeing that she was about to walk away, he grabbed her left wrist. "Don't be angry.

Baby, can you try to go on a date with me? "He pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

Hayley was angry. "Let go of me!" But she couldn't resist because of her weak physical strength. She was tightly hugged in his chest.

The height difference between the two of them was more than 20cm. She was a whole head shorter than him. No matter how she hit him, he didn't feel any pain. Instead, he felt that her embarrassed and angry look was extremely cute.

Hayley quickly understood that even if she hit him a few hundred times, he wouldn't let go and wouldn't feel any pain. For the first time, she hated that she didn't have enough strength and didn't have any means to protect herself. She was angry, annoyed, and wronged.

David saw that she was no longer struggling. At first, he was happy. He felt that she was just shy. Although she said "no", she actually liked it.

Then he was shocked. "What's wrong?

Why are you crying? "

He had never seen her cry.

A beautiful girl looked so beautiful even when she cried. She was delicate and weak like a flower in the rain. Fragile and lovable.

David felt his heart hurt. "I'm sorry, don't cry."

He hesitated for a moment and carefully let go of her. But he still held her left wrist. "Don't walk by yourself. I'll send you back.

We've walked a long way. If you walk back by yourself, you'll definitely get lost. It'll take a long time. "

Hayley didn't say anything. Her eyes were still lowered, and tears rolled down her cheeks little by little.

When she returned to Helen's side, her eyes were still filled with tears. Helen was very dissatisfied. She glared at David. "What's the matter?"

David suddenly realized that he really couldn't tell the difference. Your daughter didn't want to go on a date with me, so she cried. Where was the logic in this?

He could only admit his mistake with a good attitude. "I said something wrong and made her angry.

It's my fault. Hayley, I apologize to you again. "

But he didn't expect that Hayley had another explanation.

"Mom, David, he … he forced me and insisted on kissing me.

I already said that I didn't want to, but he still refused to let go of me.

Mom! "

She raised her little face. She looked pitiful with tears. Her pink lips were bitten and there was a trace of blood.
