Chapter 290 Young and Stunning

They selected a restaurant with high ratings. It was in a shopping mall not far from the hospital. The night fell, and it was dinnertime.

There were quite a few customers. The warm yellow light created a good ambiance. A figurine was placed on the table for them to order

dishes.

Hailey asked Jeremy what he would like to eat. Jeremy poured a glass of water for her and replied, “I’m fine with anything. Just order it for

me:

Regarding the appetite of an athlete, Hailey ordered roast chicken, sausages, macaroni, and fried fish. A bottle of wine was also

included.

“Anything else you want to have?” Hailey asked.

Jeremy smiled, “I don’t eat much for dinner. We’ll order more if it’s not enough.”

Hailey handed the menu to the waiter. “We’ll have these dishes.”

The food was soon served. Hailey poured a bowl of soup and picked up a chunk of chicken for him. “You’re so thin and need

nourishment.”

“You need it too.” Jeremy’s smile was broad, and his pretty face was pleasant to the eye. They chatted while eating.

“How is Dorian doing?” Hailey was too busy to care about the business of Southern Star Entertainment. She had just talked about it with

Randal not long ago.

Jeremy replied, “My brother is doing good. He has finished the filming in Diverous and will come back to Sagewood. It’s close to Poya. III

go and visit him when training is over.”

Hailey nodded. “I’ll go with you if I’m free.”

“Good.” Jeremy’s eyes glittered, “When are you coming back to Poya?”

“In a couple of days before Valentine’s Day. There is something I need to attend to.”

Hailey took a sip of the wine. It was mellow and not bad. Jeremy nodded and found that she looked stunning in the light.

“Hailey,” he said hesitantly. “Did you go to the hospital to visit your friend?”

Hailey stiffened and replied blandly, “Yeah, he’s injured, and I went to take care of him.”

She visibly turned gloomy. Jeremy’s heart tightened, and he couldn’t help asking, “Is it your ex- husband, Mr. Moore?”

She looked up at the boy and smiled, “You’re well-informed, aren’t you?”

“I saw it in the news.” Jeremy pursed his lips, “The CEO of Mazedew Group saved a lady and took a blow for her. The identity of the lady

was not specified, but I guess it was you.”

“It was me,” Hailey said honestly in a bland tone before having another sip of wine. “He took the blow for me.”

Jeremy looked dazed and dismayed, regretting bringing up the unpleasant topic. “I shouldn’t have asked. I hope you don’t mind.”

He picked up a sausage and put it onto her plate. “This sausage is not bad. You should try it.”

Hailey didn’t really want to talk about her ex-husband in such a pleasant atmosphere. It would affect her mood, so she changed the

subject. “How are you doing? Is the training hard?”

“It’s fine.” Jeremy took a sip of soup, “The intensity increased quite a bit after I joined the national team. I no longer have much time to

help in the restaurant.”

Hailey’s eyes lit up. “You’re in the national team?”

“Yeah.” He nodded.

“That’s great, congrats! You’re amazing.” Hailey happily picked up her bowl, “I’d like to propose a toast. Shout out to our champion.”

Jeremy was a little surprised. “You know Internet slang?”

“You bet, I’m a 5G surfer.” Hailey mildly glared at him.

Jeremy couldn’t argue with that. He picked up his bowl and clinked with hers. “Thank you.”

Hailey told him to focus on his training and that more workers could be recruited if the restaurant was short-handed. Basketball was his

priority, and cooking was just the icing on the cake.

Jeremy nodded like an obedient kid. “That’s what I thought.”

“But, Hailey changed the subject, “you can date girls as you like.”

Jeremy almost choked on the soup.

“Take it easy” Hailey’s curly eyelashes fluttered, and she smiled mischievously, “Something seems to be going on.”

“No,” Jeremy shyly lowered his head and sipped his soup, “I’ll focus on my career. I won’t consider any relationship until I achieve

something.”

“You can have bread and love at the same time. They are not incompatible.” Hailey poured him another bowl of soup and encouraged him,

“You can chase after girls as you like. Given your talent, height, and appearance, what are you afraid of? When I went to your school last.

time, I saw many girls around you. Choose the one you have feelings for. People say that romance in school days is the purest.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to experience it.”

Seeing her regretful look, Jeremy asked, “Why? Weren’t they anyone courting you?”

“I’ve never been to school.” Hailey rolled her eyes, “Or else the boys would have lined up to court me. You got the picture.”

“Yeah,” Jeremy smiled. “I’ll be the first one in line.”

“Now we’re talking: Hailey smiled heartily. It was much more pleasant to talk to this boy with high emotional intelligence than those Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

fellows with no sense of romance.

After dinner, Hailey saw him at the entrance of the subway station that was connected to the mall. Jeremy moved slowly, reluctant to

leave.

He clutched the strap of his bag, pondered for a moment, and made up his mind to ask, “Hailey, the national competition will kick off

after the training. Can you come and watch the game?”

“When and where it will be held?” she asked.

Jeremy shook his head and pursed his lips. “I’m not sure yet.”

Hailey smiled helplessly, “In that case, how am I supposed to agree?”

“I want you to come.” Jeremy gazed at her innocently and persistently.

Hailey rarely gave promises that she was not sure she could fulfill. However, she didn’t have the heart to refuse when she was met with.

such a pair of pure, bright eyes.

“Okay, be sure to inform me in advance. I’ll go if I’m not abroad or caught in emergencies.”

“Good, I’ll reserve your ticket.” Jeremy cheered up like a naive child.

Hailey smiled at him and said, “It’s getting late, and you don’t want to be locked out of the door. Go back and tell me when you arrive at

the base.”

“Okay, see you.” Jeremy waved goodbye, kept looking back at her, suddenly halted at the elevator, and came back.

Hailey was confused. “What’s wrong?”

“Hailey, can I ask for a reward if I win the game?”

Hailey froze and smiled, “Before the game even starts, you think about winning and rewards? Kid, don’t be swayed by considerations of

gain and loss.”

She patted him on the head, but his eyes were fixed on her persistently.

“Okay,” Hailey compromised, “Train hard and win the gold medal. I’ll reward you.”

“Deal!” Jeremy jumped for joy and ran off.

She looked at the running boy and murmured, “So good to be young. If I were seven or eight years younger, I’d be stunning.”

The bodyguards commented, “You’re young and stunning.”

“You really know how to please me.” Hailey cheered up, “You will be rewarded.”

The bodyguards were thrilled. They had followed Jared for a long time and mastered the art of flattery.
