Hailey's eyes were captivating.

"I'm sorry, honey. I neglected you last night. It's all my fault.

"Let me make it up to you now."

Just as she pushed me down, the phone on the sofa suddenly rang.

Hailey ignored it and chose to continue.

"Why didn't you answer it?" I asked.

"Because my husband is the most important. Even the president can't disturb us now."

Hailey giggled and reached out to take off my pants.

"What if it's Mathew calling?" I asked indifferently.

The smile on her pretty face froze, her movements stopped, and her eyes flickered slightly with shock.

"Well... honey, wait a minute."

She picked up her phone. When she saw the caller ID, her face changed.

I could guess from her expression that I was right.

It was indeed a call from Mathew.

"I'm sorry, honey. Mathew must have some serious business. I'll answer the phone first."

After saying that, she ran to the balcony to answer the phone.

I stood up calmly and put on my pants.

As I had expected, after answering the phone, Hailey said that she had something urgent to deal with and had to go to the company first.

I said, "It's okay. Go ahead."

She took off her pajamas, put on stockings and a short skirt, and spent a few minutes putting on light makeup to make herself look beautiful.

When she was opening the door, I stopped her.

"Do you remember what day it will be after three days?"

Hailey was stunned for a moment. "What day?"

I smiled and said, "Never mind. Don't make Mathew wait. Hurry."

She didn't think much about it. She put on her high heels and left with her bag.

I wanted to tell her that the day was my birthday.

It was obvious that she had long forgotten about it...

On my birthday, Hailey didn't wish me a happy birthday.

The only message she sent was that she had a client to attend to and that I should go to bed early and not wait for her.

I bought myself a cake, made Hailey's favorite dishes, and then sat aside at the dining table, smoking.

I smoked silently alone for several hours.

At midnight, Mathew updated his Instagram.

It was a photo taken in a bar. Although the light was dim and the photo was blurry, I could tell at a glance who the woman sitting next to him was.

The two of them hugged each other so tightly.

Mathew added, [I feel like I've been walking for a long time before I met you and I'm finally home.]

I gave his post a like with no expression on my face. Then, I poured the cake and dishes into the trash can.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Hailey entered our house.

She smelled of cigarettes and alcohol, and could barely walk. It was me who helped her into the bathroom.

After taking off her skirt, I found that her leggings were gone.

It destroyed my last hope.

After taking a shower, Hailey sobered up a lot.

I poured her a cup of warm honey water as usual.

Then I asked, "Which client got you so drunk?"

Hailey blushed and didn't dare to look me in the eye.

"It's a new client from Sealand. You don't know him."

"Oh." I murmured, and just said, "Go to bed early."

When I woke up the next day, I deliberately asked Hailey, "Since you're so busy with work, do you want to cancel our travel next week?"

Hailey shook her head repeatedly. "Of course not! It's our fifth anniversary travel. We cannot cancel that."

She promised that she would make arrangements in advance, and make time for our travel.

I had planned this trip since the beginning of the year.

I had put a lot of effort into our daily itinerary, including each attraction we were going to visit and each hotel we were staying.

The plane tickets had also been booked a long time ago.

I put in so much effort in order to give her the best memories.

I asked with pretended casualness, "Why are you so sure? Don't you need to discuss it with Mathew?"

Hailey was slightly stunned. "Why should I discuss with him?"

I smiled faintly and said no more.

On the agreed day, Hailey did not break her promise. She put all her work aside and set off with me.

Our first destination was an ancient town, named Mable County. It was also the shooting site of Hailey's favorite movie.

The reason why I chose the town was because Hailey had once said that she yearned for the eternal love expressed in the movie.

And that I was her eternal love.

Hailey changed into a special costume and looked even more beautiful than the leading actress. She took me around and seemed so happy. She even posted a lot of beautiful photos on her Instagram.

Many of them were photos of me and her.

Our relatives and friends all gave likes, saying that we were a perfect match.

After a day's travel, we returned to the hotel.

Just as I was about to take a shower, Hailey's phone rang.

She picked it up, took a look, and hung up.

"Who's calling?" I asked. "Why aren't you answering?"

Hailey nonchalantly replied, "I don't know the number. Maybe a crank call."

As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang again.

She still rejected the call.

I ignored her and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

When I closed the door, I could see the complicated expression on her face.

She seemed to be in a dilemma.

In the evening, I brought Hailey to a very romantic restaurant.

We enjoyed wine, steak, and violin sonata.

It was as if we had returned to the time when we were passionately in love.

I clearly remembered that night, in the soothing violin accompaniment, I held a rose in my hand and knelt on one knee in front of Hailey.

I said softly that I loved her.

Hailey took the roses, hugged me tightly, and gave me kisses.

I could remember the thunderous applause given by people around us.

Just as I was lost in my memories, Hailey's phone rang again.

It was not a phone call, but a message.

After reading it, her face changed greatly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Something happened to Mathew!"

"What happened?"

"He was poisoned by alcohol and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment!"

Hailey suddenly stood up as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

"I'm sorry, honey. I have to go back to Riverland to see him."

"You can ask a subordinate to deal with that kind of thing," I said flatly. "We're so far away from Riverland. Do you have to come all the way back to Riverland on your own?"

Hailey looked hesitant, but in the end, she made up her mind, "I heard from the doctor that Mathew's life is in danger. He was poisoned because he had to entertain his clients. As his boss, I should go back and have a look.

"Honey, I'll fly back to Riverland tonight.

"Why don't you stay here for several days? I'll come back to you when Mathew is fine, okay?"

"There's no need," I waved my hand. "I'll travel by myself for the next six days.

"You know me. I won't change my mind easily."

Hailey gritted her teeth and left in a hurry.

Watching her leave, I picked up my glass and gulped down a glass of red wine.

It was bitter and a little pungent.

Because of a message about Mathew, the anniversary travel I had been planning for so long was over just as it began.

Hailey left firmly without the slightest hesitation.

It was exactly as I had expected.

In less than ten minutes, I finished an entire bottle of wine.

After paying the bill, I staggered back to the hotel. When I walked into the elevator, a girl in a white dress was inside.

She was very young and beautiful.

Seeing me, a drunkard, she put on a vigilant look and stood in the corner.

I was so drunk that I didn't think much about it.

Soon, we arrived at the ninth floor.

The girl left the elevator as if she was escaping from me.

As I walked out, I felt so dizzy that I fell heavily to the ground.

There was a sharp pain in my head, and then I lost consciousness...

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the hospital bed.

Soon, the doctor came and said that I was really lucky. If my girlfriend hadn't sent me to the hospital in time, I would have been in danger.

I was confused. Just as I wanted to ask about my "girlfriend", the girl I met in the elevator came with a bill of payment in her hands.

I suddenly understood it was she who saved me, and then expressed my gratitude to her.

The girl was a college student who was traveling in Mabel County alone.

After chats, we found out that we were both from Riverland. This finding brought us closer.

I transferred the medical fee to her and proposed another 2000 dollars as a reward for her kindness.

However, she rejected the reward, saying that she offered help only because I needed it.

I had no choice but to give up. Suddenly, I found that Mathew updated his Instagram.

In the photo, a woman was feeding him porridge.

The picture was attached, [You're so unique. How can I not cherish?]

Although the woman in the photo didn't show her face, the familiar wedding ring on her finger had explained everything.

The woman was Hailey, my wife.

She flew back to Riverland overnight only to take care of drunken Mathew.

However, she had no idea that her husband had just survived the jaws of death.
