---- Chapter 830 Hailey smiled. "Lester is great. He's warm, well-read, and cultivated-a man of excellent
character." Miranda grinned. "Then how about you try dating him: Hailey nearly choked on her drink. "Mom, what
are you saying? | don't see Lester that way!" "Hailey, you're not that young anymore. You couldn't let go of Jonah
before, but now that he's moved on, it's tfor you to start a new life too. "A young woman's youth only lasts
so long. Just now, Mrs. Larden hinted at the idea of a match between our families.
She likes you, and your dad and | both think Lester's a fine young man." In their social circle, Lester was a rare
gem-a scholarly, well- mannered man with a spotless reputation. Both Miranda and James adored him. Hailey
said, "Mom, I'm just... not thinking about that right now." "Well, you need to think fast. Don't waste your youth on
someone who's not yours. Your father and | just want you to find someone who loves you, someone to give youa
real home, "' Miranda said gently, her tone filled with motherly concern.
Not wanting her parents to worry, Hailey offered a soft reply, "Okay, | got it. Just givestime, alright?" ----

went to the restroom. She stood at the sink, splashing cold water on her face. She wasn't in the best of moods
and just wanted to head hand rest. As she walked down the corridor, her phone buzzed. It was a message
from Aileen. The message instantly lifted her mood. "Hailey, I'm coming hina few days!" Hailey beamed.
"Really?
I'll have your favorite dishes ready. Cback soon." She wanted to tell Aileen about Jonah, but texting didn't
seem like a suitable platform. Instead , she replied, "Aileen, Ihave sgood news to tell you when you get
back!" "Okay! | miss you, Hailey," Aileen replied. Just as Hailey smiled at the message, she bumped straight into
someone. Her forehead collided with a solid, warm chest. Startled, she stepped back. "Sorry! | didn't mean to. I."
Her voice cut off the moment she looked up. It was Jonah. She froze. ---- Tall and composed, Jonah stood in the
corridor with his gaze fixed on her.
"What's this? Ms. Hailey doesn't seem to recognizeanymore, eh? Or are you just pretending not to?" Hailey
quickly recovered. "I'm sorry, Mr. Pilsner. | wasn't watching where | was going." Of course, he knew. She hadn't
looked up once-too busy texting someone, smiling happily. Jonah smiled ever so slightly. "I thought you had
forgotten me." "How could 1? You just helpedrecently. I'm very grateful for that." Jonah noticed her polite and
distant reply and decided to remain silent. Inhis silence, his presence was overbearing. Hailey suddenly felt
suffocated under his gaze.
