296 It wasnt long before Declan was serving the sweet and sour pork ribs .
It looked and smelled delicious .
He had also cooked some cucumber , which was less heavy on the taste buds .
Hailey hadnt been hungry at first , but now she had started to feel hungry .
Suddenly , a cold voice sounded above her head .
Arent you planning to leave ? Huh ? Halley quickly looked up .
There was confusion in her pretty eyes when she met Declans eyes .
She didnt know when Declan had come up beside her .
He was looking at her coldly .
Halley was slightly embarrassed .
She quickly said , Mrs.
Zamora , Aileen , my dad called me and asked me to return home now .
Panela and Alleen couldnt keep her there if that were the case .
Alright , miss .
You can come and visit us again next time .
With that , Hailey walked out and waved hack at them sweetly , Alright , bye bye .
Halley returned the way she had come .
The alleys here were very muddy , and she could only lift up the hem of her skirt as she carefully stepped on the cleaner areas .
Suddenly , a large man walked up in front of her .
He was drunk and smelled of alcohol .
His eyes lit up when he saw Hailey .
Where did this little girl come from ? Come .
Have a drink with me .
The fear of facing Storm Killer last night was still fresh in Halleys mind .
Now that she had gotten herself involved with a drunkard , she thought fast and quickly turned to run away .
Stop running ! The man quickly caught up to her .
He cursed as he ran , Little bitch , if you dont come willingly , Ill make you ! Just wait and see how Ill deal with you once I catch you ! Hailey screamed in fright , Help ! Help … ahh ! Suddenly , she ran into someone.
When she looked up , the cold but handsome face seemed larger than life in her eyes .
It was Declan .
Declan had come .
It was like Halley had found a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean .
Declan , help me ! The large man had caught up too .
He stopped when he saw Declan Oh , its you , Declan .
The man was Declans neighbor , and they knew each other .
Declan remained expressionless as he lifted an arm and put it around Haileys shoulders , pulling her into his embrace .
Hailey froze Even though she had been engaged to Ewan before , they hadnt even held hands , never mind embracing each other .
Right now , Declans arm was slung over her shoulders .
Her body could feel the strength of his as heartbeat started to quicken .
The man looked at Declan and laughed .
Declan , is this your girlfriend ? His girlfriend ? Suddenly , Halley heard Declans chilly reply .
arm through the thin fabric of her clothing .
Haileys He was saying that she was his girlfriend ? Halley looked up at Declan in shock.
Declan didnt look at her , but his gaze was fixed on the drunken man .
From the angle Halley was looking up at him , she could only see his cold and handsome side profile .
