Cinephile hustle

"Because of the perfume Emma used. It was a custom-made bottle worth thousands of dollars. You told me that you think a woman would be very attractive with that fragrance. And I have a good nose." Haley slyly Smiling, he touched the tip of his nose.

"I really didn't expect you to take what I said to you to heart. It's just that even if Emma uses that perfume, it doesn't mean that she and I are in a secret relationship."

"Angel's. You're having dinner together. Need I tell you how I found out?"

Shea lowered her eyes and shook her head, "No need. Because this is not important, even if Emma and I have a secret date, it doesn't mean that I have something to do with Smith's murder."

"Don't worry, don't worry. Emma is just one of the many factors that made me notice you."

"Oh, it sounds like I've shown a lot of lies." Shea turned her back against the side of the boat, her posture was unrestrained, "Then tell me about Ned's murder. What clues did you find that have something to do with me? got engaged?"

"It's still Mrs. Ned's perfume, which is the same as Emma's. Mrs. Ned mentioned that her relationship with Mr. Ned has become more and more indifferent. Generally, when a wealthy wife mentions this, it means that she You probably cheated on yourself too. You were her cheating partner, you got her online banking password from her, and you ordered those German dolls for Ned."

"Why should I buy a doll for Ned?" Shia shook her head helplessly.

"You gave it to Ned for Xavier. I heard at the previous dinner party that Ned has always had a 'soft spot' for Xavier, right? And a friend of mine hacked into Ned's computer and found Some videos related to dolls." Haili handed his mobile phone to Shia.

Xi Ya took the phone, clicked on the video, and the main character was Xavier.

Xia's expression became serious, and she threw the phone into the sea.

"Hey - that's a limited edition!"

"He's already dead." Xi Ya turned her face sideways, and there was hatred in her eyes staring at Haili, "You shouldn't involve him anymore."

"Yeah, he's dead. He chose to imply to Ian that he was the murderer of a series of cases, just to protect you. You are his comrade in arms, and you will complete the unfinished things for him, and you will watch for him Gubler was tortured."

Shia snorted, raised her hand and patted Haili on the shoulder, "Your imagination is too rich. I wonder how Ian can stand it."

"My imagination has always been very rich, especially when I can't see Ian, I can always imagine everything about him. But this time, it has nothing to do with my imagination."

Haili leaned his back against the ship's side, showing a look of pity.

"Don't look at me like that." Shia raised her chin.

"Because you used to look at me like that, didn't you? Watching what my stepfather did to me. I appreciate you and want to act like it never happened. Just being with Ian and letting I understand that some things don’t exist without my refusing to admit them. Shia, it wasn’t just Xavier who killed Sherman, but you as well.”

"Oh, conjecture again, no evidence?"

"No, this time I have. Sherman's body, his hands were held down. It is impossible for Xavier to kill him while riding on Sherman's body while holding Sherman's hands. Yes You hold Sherman down for him."

"Do you think Sherman scratched my skin and left DNA or something?"

"Why doesn't Sherman have his cell phone with him? Because he recorded you and Xavier murdering him. In fact, Sherman's original intention was to record the conversation with Ian and threaten Ian to give the conversation to him. Gubler. When you finally found out about all this, you or Xavier were very nervous and threw the mobile phone over the side of the boat."

"So you still have no proof."

Hailey shook his head and looked up at the open-air swimming pool at the highest point.

"Shia, do you know where you threw your phone?"

Shia remained silent.

"To the lifeboat hanging over the side. It took me a lot of effort to get it back from there."

"You're lying again." Xi Ya chuckled lightly, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"Shia, I never understood why you put roses on Smith and sunflowers on Ned, but when I saw the stars on Sherman, I finally understood. Every flower, Both represent a persecuted person. Both you and Xavier have important people who died from the oppression and pain brought about by the 'feast'. You spread the flowers that the dead loved when they were alive on Smith and Ned, just to commemorate them."

Shia turned away.

"As for why Sherman's body is covered with gypsophila, it is because he shot at Ian. The gypsophila is Ian's favorite flower. For Xavier, he wants to protect Ian, so He couldn't tolerate Sherman pulling Ian into that world. And for you, you know Ian is very important to me, so you can't tolerate Sherman taking action on your good friend's sweetheart. You killed him for me. Sherman's. If I'm not mistaken, you and Xavier's original plan was to let Sherman and Gubler enjoy the contrast of falling from a high place together."

"If you really think that, why did you come to me and say all this? Why didn't you keep silent?"

"Because even if I keep silent, Ian will go after the truth. Rather than being exposed by him, I would rather come."

"Did you send that audio to your colleagues?"

"If the Bureau of Investigation has the evidence to charge you, and you plead guilty, the sentence will be heavy. But if you turn yourself in before the Bureau of Investigation has this evidence, I can guarantee that you will spend the rest of your life in a nursing home, not in prison. .”

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness and care, Haley. Only this time I'm going to let you down."

Shia took out a pistol from her waist and aimed it at Hailey.He took two steps back, out of Haley's attack range.

"Are you really going to kill me?" Haili tilted his head and looked at Shia.

But Shia stopped her head with the muzzle of a gun, with a cruel smile on her lips, "Hailey, I'll count to three. Either you jump down, or I will collapse myself. Can't see Gubler Finished, for me, is worse than death."

"Xia, put all this aside, you can still see Gubler die."

As soon as Haili took half a step forward, Shia opened the safety lock, and the crackling sound was like a broken nerve.

Shia showed a sarcastic smile: "Hailey, I heard you right. You actually tried your best to persuade me to surrender? The you I know will either join me with great interest, or you will hang on to appreciate I contributed this great drama. But you actually persuaded me to surrender? Is my drama not exciting enough?"

"I just want to hold you back. If you don't know how to let go of the harm Gubole brought to you, he will go to hell. Do you want to follow him?"

"Hahaha... I get it. You have Ian, so no matter how crazy and wild your thoughts are in your head, you always have a place to go back to. But I'm different, Hayley. I don't have anything. I count Three times, if you still refuse to jump, I will definitely destroy myself."

Shia's expression was crazy.

He has a clear and inevitable goal in his heart, and no one can stop him.

"One." Shia took another half step back, the expression on his face seemed to be worried that his brains would splash on Haili.

Haley didn't move.

"Two." Shia's finger pulled the trigger.

Just when he was about to shout "three", Hailey jumped onto the side of the boat and jumped off.

The sound of the wind and the undulating waves quickly drowned out the sound of Haili falling into the water.

"What are you doing!" The shout pierced through the wind with great penetrating power.

Shia's shoulders trembled, and when she turned around, she saw a figure running towards her.

It's Ian.

Ian rushed to the side of the boat and quickly searched for the life buoy.

But Shia raised her wrist and fired a shot at Haili's floating sea surface. The bullet sank into Haili's side, making a "bang--" sound.

"What do you want to do!" Ian touched his waist, and then remembered that he didn't bring a gun when he boarded the yacht in order not to arouse Sherman's suspicion.And the gun Haley left for him fell into the room when he was taken away by Xavier.

"Isn't it obvious what I want to do?" Shia backed away step by step.

Ian looked up and looked around, and saw several security personnel in black suits approaching.

"Are they all yours?" Ian asked suspiciously.

"Yes. There is no one who cannot be bought. If money is not enough, then use favors. Just like you, Ian, you can also be bought. This is what I have learned after enduring Gubler for so long the deepest thing ever.”

"What do you want to bribe me with?" Ian watched the movement of Xi Ya, for fear that he would shoot Hai Li again, while looking at Hai Li in the sea water from the corner of his eyes, worried that he would not be able to hold on. .

Fortunately, it's not winter now, otherwise, even if you can swim, you won't be able to last a minute if you fall like this.

"Hayley, of course. I'll give you two options. The first one is to come with me and expose everything about me in front of your colleagues, but I will shoot Hayley Russell. Don't worry, I will Aiming at his head won't make him die too painfully."

"What about the second one?" Ian asked coldly.

Shia raised her left hand and snapped her fingers.A security guard threw the rubber life buoy in front of Ian.

"The second option is that you jump down with the swimming ring and be with Haili. As for life and death, it depends on God's will."

"You can't escape, Shia Pace."

"I didn't think about running away, I just did what I wanted to do." Shea smiled and put her index finger on the trigger again, "What is your choice? Agent Connor?"

Ian lowered his body, picked up the rubber lifebuoy, stepped out of the side of the boat without saying a word, and jumped off.

The moment he fell into the sea, there was a rumbling sound in his ears. The force of the fall made him rush to the depths of the sea, and the darkness under his feet made him feel inexplicably panicked.

Ian swung his arms, headed towards the sea, and finally floated up.He took a deep breath and raised his hand to wipe away the water stains on his face.

Someone hugged him from behind, and Ian, who finally floated up, sank again.

But this time, he didn't feel any fear.

He is familiar with the strength of that embrace.

Even when the other party twisted his chin and kissed him forcefully, Ian pushed the tip of his tongue even harder.

"You fool."

The other party pulled the lifebuoy over, and the two of them clung to it awkwardly.

"Isn't this what you expected? I will jump down and die with you."

Xia, who was standing on the side of the ship, watched them indifferently in the sea breeze until the cruise ship drifted away.

Haili, who was facing Ian, showed a smug smile, and freed up a hand to brush the hair on his forehead, that gesture was inexplicably sexy and seductive.For the first time, Ian felt that he was really hopeless. Under such a situation, he didn't immediately think about how to be saved. Instead, he admired the bastard in front of him.

Could it be that the other party drools too much and burns out his brain?

"Fool." Haili stretched out his hand and wiped away the water stains on Ian's face.

"You were lying in the sea so leisurely just now, which made me suspect that you and Shia Pace had colluded long ago. Tell me, what should we do now?" Ian asked coldly.

"What should I do?" Hailey showed a funny expression, "The reason why I was able to 'lay leisurely in the sea water' as you said just now is because I knew that Shia would not kill me. At least not with his hands That gun. But it’s different now, even if the Bureau of Investigation wants to find us, how can we search such a large sea area?”

"Back when we were buried in the truck under the gravel, didn't Finn Keating find us? You should have a sending device on your body, right?"

Haili smiled, "Oh, Uncle Ian, so you already knew!"

"I'm not an idiot, how could I not guess it."

"Then now you know that I used Hunter and Shemer's trap to cheat your trust, plus your kiss, shouldn't you kick me into the sea?" Hailey stretched his neck and asked, lest Ian would not be true beat him.

"If I kick you into the sea, Fern Keating won't be able to find me. If you want to kick you, you have to wait until you land on the shore."

"You don't have to worry about this, even if I sink to the bottom of the sea, as long as you are still floating on the sea, they can still find you."

"Why?" Ian frowned, suddenly feeling annoyed.

"Because when I paid someone to perform heart surgery on you, I implanted a micro transmitter on your heart by the way..."

Ian's expression changed.

Haili quickly comforted him and said, "But you don't have to worry, it's really small, and it will definitely not affect your health. I just want to know where you are..."

Ian's eyes turned cold.

"Especially your heart, the information it sends allows me to confirm that your heart is healthy..."

"Just to know where I am and if my heart is healthy?"

Ian raised his eyebrows, he didn't believe Haley's words at all.

"This... For example, when you and Jessica are close together and pretend to be ambiguous, I just need to look at your heartbeat to know if you are really excited. Look, isn't this very good? I won't I'm not happy because you get too close to others..."

At that moment, Ian suddenly raised his upper body and punched Haili hard in the face.

"Ugh—" Haley fell down.

He grinned when he floated up again.

"It hurts! Ian!" He covered his face, with an expression of disbelief that Ian really beat him, "It's bleeding! I accidentally swallowed a mouthful of seawater, it hurts me to death!"

"Shut up." Ian continued to lie on the lifebuoy with a cold face.

The two have remained silent.

Ian raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Two hours had passed, and the cruise ship probably had landed.

Hopefully whoever comes to investigate finds them missing.

Haili looked at Ian, and said slowly for a long time: "You don't have to worry. They will definitely come to us. And they know where to start looking."

"What trap did you set again?" Ian asked coolly.

"It's nothing. It's just that when I confronted Shia, I informed someone. If I guessed correctly, he has been bugging my phone. So the coordinates of my falling into the sea, based on the signal of my cell phone, he should be able to find us."

"Who's someone? But your friends look uncannily like you. Like Shia Pace."

"He's not my friend." Hailey's smile contained the kind of deep meaning that made Ian very unhappy.

"It doesn't matter whether it's right or not. The temperature difference between day and night at sea is huge, and you'll enjoy it more when it's completely dark."

"Since you know, why did you jump off? In fact, you know that Xi Ya won't really kill me, he will only show off in front of me. He proved to me that you don't love me as much as I thought."

"I'm not Shia Pace, how do I know what he thinks."

"You don't care what Shia Pace thinks, but you care what I think. You don't want me to think, you really don't care about me. Ian, I'm happy when you jump off the top . I feel like nothing I have ever equaled that moment."

"I'm already regretting it."

"You won't regret it. Because I am sure that no matter where I go, even if my final destination is really hell, you will accompany me without hesitation."

Haley clasped Ian's fingers.

At that moment, Ian's heart was overflowing.

It was as if the hole left by the bullet had finally been filled.

"Hey, Ian... Didn't you go to see Sherman's body? Why did you come up the side of the boat suddenly." Hailey asked sullenly.

"Because I saw bruises and bruises on Sherman's wrists. This shows that someone had held his wrists hard before he died. Since Xavier was the one responsible for killing him, he must have some accomplices." .”

"Then how did you think of Shea?" Haley asked curiously.

"I didn't think of Shia. I was just looking for you."

Hailey pursed her lips and smiled sullenly.

"Ian, you are sincere. Show off to me and say that your intuition tells you that the person is Shia, and I will believe it."

"I have a hunch, you know who the murderer is."

"Are you angry? I was clearly suspicious of Xia, but I didn't tell you?"

Ian didn't answer him, but leaned his face against the edge of the lifebuoy and closed his eyes.

Hailey curled his lips and said nothing.

The temperature dropped little by little, and Ian didn't know how long he could hold on to the life buoy.

Haili on the opposite side also seemed exhausted, no longer as calm and comfortable as before.

"You seem to have miscalculated this time." Ian said softly.

"You don't believe me that much? But I'm a little angry... Shia can't throw me a kayak, why must it be a life buoy?" Haili rarely showed an aggrieved expression.

"Why don't you say why doesn't he give you a speedboat with champagne and beautiful women."

"With Uncle Ian here, what else do I need a beautiful woman for?"

"Shut up."

Ian felt thirsty, but he was in the middle of the ocean, but he didn't have a sip of water to drink.

Haili looked at Ian, propped up his upper body, stretched his neck and kissed Ian.The tip of his tongue poked in, moist and warm.

For the first time, Ian felt an almost crazy urge.He sucked the tip of Haili's tongue vigorously, even though the kiss at this moment exhausted all his strength, but as long as he touched Haili, Ian felt that nothing was important.

Hailey suddenly pushed the tip of Ian's tongue out. Ian opened his eyes and saw Haili smiling triumphantly.

"Uncle Ian, I'm thirsty too. I thought you would quench my thirst, but you took advantage of me."

Ian really wanted to kick him to the bottom of the ocean.

The sound of a helicopter could be heard faintly overhead.There was a light shining from the sea, which made people unable to open their eyes.

"Found it! Here they are! Here!"

A speedboat stopped beside them, and Jessica's voice came: "Ian! Haley! Finally found you! Come up!"

Without saying a word, Ian let go of the lifebuoy and swam over.

Haili slowly stretched out his hand to Ian who was already on the boat, but Ian just lowered his head and said, "Come up by yourself."

Jessica puts a blanket on Ian and brings coffee.

"I know you were found by tracking the sending device on Hailey. But how did you narrow it down? Who sent you the coordinates?"

Jessica was stunned, and glanced at Haili, who was already sitting not far away. Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping her, she said, "It's the coordinates that Cliff gave us."

Ian frowned, he didn't think Cliff was the mysterious figure Haley was talking about.

Hailey snuggled up and winked at Ian, "You're curious about who sent the coordinates, right? Cliff has brought him to meet you. When we land, you'll see It's his time."

Ian raised his hand, pushed Hailey's head away, and said to Jessica: "Arrest Shia Pace immediately! He is the mastermind of the Smith and Ned case and one of the murderers of the Sherman case. He is also Forcing us to jump off a cruise ship."

"Shia Pace? He's by Gubler's side now!" Jessica called the other agents.

A few hours ago, Gubler was surrounded by media reporters. Various law enforcement agencies asked him to cooperate with the investigation. The families of the dead rich people were very excited.

After getting off the cruise ship, Gubler was surrounded by several people before he had time to get into his car, and he was beaten up severely.Fortunately, the police came to maintain order, otherwise Gubler would die tragically on the spot.

In the police interrogation room, he was questioned most harshly.Gubler clutched his chest several times and couldn't breathe, and finally had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital.

After finally waking up, Gubole called out Shea's name and held Shea's hand tightly.

"Sir, I'm here, I haven't left yet."

"Yes, you can't go...you can't go anywhere...how is it outside now?"

Shia sat on the edge of the hospital bed, lowered her head and looked at him peacefully, "All the media's reports on this murder on the cruise ship and the Gubler Group are negative. The family members of the dead rich man will sue you, sir. "

"But it was Xavier who killed them, not me!"

"But that cruise ship is yours. And the news released by Xavier in that video made public all the disdainful things about these rich people, and the stakeholders of these rich people will naturally target someone. Xavier has already Dead, so this person can only be you. In addition, the stock of Gubler Group has fallen to the limit, and many major shareholders have withdrawn their capital. Sir, you may be going bankrupt."

Gubler's face was livid, and he pressed his heart. The equipment on the side sounded an alarm, and the medical staff came.

After finally his heart calmed down, several policemen walked in and showed Shia an arrest warrant on the grounds that he was suspected of murdering Sherman.

"This is impossible! This is impossible! It was not Shea who killed Sherman, but Xavier! You made a mistake! Let him go immediately!"

Gubole grabbed Shia's hand, as if grabbing the last straw.

Shia lowered her head and whispered into Gubler's ear, "Sir, am I important to you?"

"It's very important Shia! You are my most important person!"

"If I'm important to you, they'll take me away from you. The dominoes are falling, and everything you have is gone, sir. I'm sorry, but I have to go first. Good luck."

"Don't go, Shia! Don't go! You're framing! He couldn't have killed Sherman!" Gubler struggled and fell off the hospital bed, watching Shia leave.

Gubler struggled to climb onto the wheelchair in the ward, came to the window, and climbed onto the window sill with all his strength.

Xi Ya got into the police car, the soft expression on her face disappeared, and she looked ahead indifferently.

The police car was driving all the way, and when it passed the downtown area, the LED screen in a certain square was broadcasting news.

Many pedestrians stopped and looked up, and even some driving vehicles stopped.

The female anchor is broadcasting a news in a formulaic voice: the fashion kingdom has suddenly collapsed, and Fitz Gubler has fallen to his death.

In the news, there are pictures of the falling building taken by passers-by with their mobile phones.From Fitz Gubler sitting on the window sill with difficulty, swinging his legs over, and looking at the direction where the police took Xia away, he stretched out his hands, as if trying to grab something, and fell down instantly .

Xi Ya finally pulled out a slight smile on his stagnant face.His cold eyes sparkled slightly.

After these few days of mental and physical torture, Ian leaned against the back of the chair and was about to fall asleep.

But he had developed the habit of forcefully pumping himself up when he was sleepy.

Hailey came over from not far away, sat down beside him, and rested Ian's head on his shoulder.

"I'm here. Go to sleep, Ian."

"Um……"

For the first time, he let his thoughts sink and closed his eyes.

Haley kissed him lightly on the forehead.

Jessica came over and handed a news item on the phone to Haili.

Haley nodded knowingly.

When the speedboat docked, Hailey patted Ian's face lightly.

Opening his sleepy eyes, Ian looked towards the pier.Cliff stood under the moonlight with a small figure, which Ian recognized immediately.

"Evan?" Ian frowned, and suddenly remembered what Haili had said to him before, and remembered the laptop he had given him when he parted from Evan, and turned back to Haili to confirm, "The mysterious person you mentioned... is Evan?"

"Hmm." Haley stretched his long legs noncommittally, and stretched out his hand to Cliff.

Cliff pulled Haili up respectfully.

As soon as Ian landed on the shore, Evan ran into his arms and hugged him tightly.

It's like going back to the days when Evan was still by his side.Ian's froze hands slowly hugged Evan tightly.

The little guy has grown a lot taller, but his expression and movements have not changed at all.

"Dad, I miss you." Evan whispered in Ian's arms.

His articulation is more clear and smooth than before he left.

"I miss you too." Ian hugged him up, "Why did you come?"

"Because you are in danger, I am very worried about you. Dad, you are wet and will get sick." Evan frowned slightly, and said like a little adult.

Ian showed a rare smile.He touched Evan's forehead, lowered his voice and asked, "Did you hack into the monitoring and access control system of the Aurora?"

Evan pursed his lips and didn't answer.

"You were the one who extracted the pre-murder recording from Sherman's phone?"

Evan looked away.

"According to the last coordinates of Haili's mobile phone, it's you who are limited to search for our area?"

Evan said in a very small voice: "Dad, are you angry?"

Haili leisurely brought his head closer, and said coolly, "Of course Ian is angry, because he's a deadhead."

Ian ignored Haili, but put Evan down, took his hand and walked forward.

"Evan, in fact, there is nothing wrong with what you did for me. But I came to this cruise ship to investigate the case. If the evidence is obtained in an illegal way, no matter how important the evidence is, the court will Wouldn't take it. That would allow the bad guys to get away with it. But it's really smart of you to narrow down the search for us based on the last location of Hailey's phone."

Evan looked down, looking disappointed.

After getting into the car, Evan suddenly said, "I will think of a more ingenious way, which will neither make the evidence illegal nor make Dad dangerous."

Ian smiled and rubbed Evan into his arms.Hailey opened the car door and sat on the other side of Evan.

"Where are you going now? Find a place for the two of you to change your clothes and sleep, or..." Jessica asked.

"Has Shia been arrested?"

"Yes. Now temporarily detained at the local police station."

"I'm going to meet him." Hailey replied flatly.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure."

The car arrived at the local police station, Cliff delivered the clothes, and Hailey and Ian finally got dry.

The police took Haili to the door of the interrogation room.

Hailey glanced at Ian, "Are you going in?"

"Need not."

"Don't you want to know everything Shia is planning?"

"Of course you know, I will know."

"Okay, then I'll go in and talk to him."

Hailey was about to turn around, but Ian took his hand and kissed the tip of his nose.

"Whatever the answer you get, let it go."

"...Uncle Ian is so cunning, he kisses me so fast every time."

"You can roll in now."

Haley nodded and smiled, and opened the door.

Xi Ya, who was sitting across the table, had a calm face, and even her hair was not messed up in the slightest.

And Haili also sat comfortably opposite him, "Hi, you look good."

"Of course." Shea smiled. "They found you? Much faster than I thought."

"You're not enough friends. If I spend the whole night in the sea, I might get soaked. And if the temperature drops too much at night, Ian and I will probably lose our strength and sink into the sea."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't arrange a yacht for you, with champagne and flowers."

Hailey smiled and leaned towards Shia, "Ian said the same thing. You two really have a tacit understanding. Fitz Gubler fell to his death. If I'm not wrong, you let him rely on you when he is in trouble, and when he needs you the most." When he lost you, you made yourself the last straw."

"Sure enough, we understand each other." Shia also leaned towards Haley, and the two of them were like two sides of a mirror.

"Why didn't you tell me? We can join forces and make Gubole ten thousand times worse than it is now."

Haili's eyes looked at Xi Ya, but he couldn't see the fundus of the other's eyes.

"To get revenge on you." Shia smiled.

"Revenge me for what?"

"Every time your stepfather has other plans for you, I find all kinds of excuses to take you away. When you were missing for a few years, I secretly left home countless times, looking for you aimlessly along that highway .When you were brought back to the Gubler family and received the most rigorous training, I was also watching you. However, you gave everything you have to another person."

Hailey's fingers stiffened slightly.Seeing from the corner of Shia's eyes, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Haili's fingers.

"You didn't kill Ian."

"Because you need him." Shia's tone was justified.

"Then what about Sherman's murder? You originally imagined that he would experience the same despair as Gubler. You put stars on him just to tell me that you did it because he tried to kill Iran. Well, let’s do it, so you will do it.”

Shia smiled, and tapped Hailey's heart through the air with her finger, "Don't I know you yet? You have already thought of eleven thousand ways to make Sherman die of pain. I am just doing it for you." You just did it. Ian can catch you when you fall. But I can't. Because I have already fallen. In this case, why not be more thorough, don't you think?"

"You said you wanted to take revenge on me, and now you did." Hailey slowly got up and left, his drooping eyelashes looking sad.

"Did I make your heart hurt? That's my honor." Shia nodded, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Haley walked out the door.

Ian leaned against the wall, put his hands in his pockets, and lowered his head slightly, as if taking a nap.

Hailey stood in front of him, staring at Ian's face, silent all the time.

Ian didn't raise his head until a police officer passed them with a smile and said, "Come out? Let's go."

Ian turned and Haley followed.

They got back in the car.Cliff booked a hotel for them, but there was only one luxury suite.

Ian took the room card and walked to the elevator, Haili was even a little surprised, "Don't you want another room?"

"You can sleep on the floor."

"So you're going to comfort me today?"

"I want to sleep. If you want comfort, you can find Cliff."

Opening the door, Ian lay down under the quilt without saying a word.He was too sleepy and tired.After expending a lot of physical strength and energy, he finally walked out of that maze. What he wants now is to completely let go of everything.

Hailey lay beside him, hugging him tightly, her forehead resting on his back.

"Ian, I want to adopt Evan. Give him the most suitable and best education. But don't worry, I won't let him become the second me."

"...You're not that bad either." Ian said lightly.

"Really? You really love me, don't you?" Haley got up and shook Ian.

"...I'll love you more if you put me to sleep."

"Really? Then go to bed! Do you think we should take a long vacation to travel? Like Santorini?"

"I'm sleepy."

This idea can be considered, he also wants to go to Santorini, and stay away from that bald bastard Maddy Ron.

"Ian, can I move in with you? It doesn't matter if you give me expired ketchup."

"I'm sleepy."

Expired ketchup was just an accident, can you stop bringing it up?

"...I seem to have a feeling, or we..." Haili rubbed Ian's back.

Ian sat up abruptly, and angrily pressed the pillow on Haili's face, "What the hell are you sleeping on?
