Chapter 44. Who’s Hailey?
Hailey sighed on the last dress she was putting on. If she had known she was going to meet Mason then she would have brought more sexy clothes.
“Hey baby girl” Agnes stepped while holding a box.
“Mom not now, we should be on our way to Mason’s place any time soon but I don’t even have the perfect dress to wear” Hailey complained.
“That’s why I’m here, look what I got for you” Agnes passed the box to her.
Hailey sighed and collected it, she opened it to peep at what was inside and a gasp escaped from her lips.
“Where did you get it from, it’s so gorgeous” She took out the red short dress and placed it on her body.
“It was a gift from Maya, she got it from D•S for you, try it,” Agnes said and Hailey immediately took off the dress on her body and tried the dress her mom got her.
It was a bit short, exposing a little of her flat stomach and cleavage.
“Mason wouldn’t be able to take his eyes off you” Agnes smiled at her.
“You think so?” Hailey asked, looking nervous.
Agnes sighed and went to cup her daughter’s cheeks.
“You’re very beautiful Hailey, you’ve grown to be a beautiful young lady and you were the first lady apart from that fake wife of his to see his real face. Mason is all yours” Agnes said, looking determined and serious.
Hailey smiled and nodded.
“Good, do your makeup, and let’s hurry up before we get late” Agnes stepped away from her.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★
“It’s ready” Skyler announced as she carried the tray of food to the dining with Ivy and Edna carrying some other trays from behind.
They began arranging it on the table while Maya was standing somewhere, watching with a frown.
She hates to see that Ivy is getting along with Skyler and Skyler is also bringing Ivy and Edna close to each other. A smirk appeared on her face when she remembered Hailey.
‘I bet she would change her mindset about Mason and Skyler being together when she sees her’ She thought to herself with a smile.
Rosa came to stand beside her with her smirk.
“You should thank your daughter-in-law, Maya, she is finally making your daughter useful,” she said while looking at Skyler setting the dining table.
Maya forced a smile as she faced her.
“I should also beg her to finally make your son useful in this family and life” she replied and Rosa’s smile turned to a frown.
“Jesus, you look so ugly! Don’t frown, ever again” Maya shook her head and walked away with a satisfying smile that finally annoyed Rosa.
“Bitch” Rosa cursed her in a tiny voice.
Mason finally came back from work and Skyler left the dining room to meet him.
“Mason, you’re back, I’ve been waiting for you” she smiled at him.
He just faced her and held her chin then pressed his lips on hers, giving her a small peck.
“I know I missed you too” he smiled a little and Ivy’s eyes widened from where she was including Edna’s.
“You should go upstairs and shower” she tried to hide her blush.
“Wanna join me?” He asked with a smirk and she immediately pushed him away.
When she came back, she met Ivy and Edna giving her a kind of look.
“What?” Skyler had to ask.
“I’ve never seen Mason smile before, oh my God Skyler what are you doing to him” Ivy covered her lips with her palm.
“And you are blushing too, you like him,” Edna said out loud.
“My gosh stop, call everyone down for dinner” Skyler rolled her eyes and immediately rushed upstairs.
She stopped and leaned closer to a wall.
“Do I like Mason? Like I’m in love with him?” She asked herself, staring at no one in particular.
“I think the both of you are in love with each other. You should tell him, he is your husband” a voice sounded beside her and she turned to her side to see Emily smiling at her.
She let out a small smile.
“I should go down for dinner” Emily muttered and climbed down the stairs.
Skyler threw her head backward. What’s the point of getting married to Mason to make Felix pay when she was already in love with him?
She sighed and blocked her face with her palms.

The dinner already started but Rosa was busy trying to call someone with her phone.
“Can you drop the phone Rosa, set a good example for once!” Grandpa Mario looked at her, feeling annoyed.
“Sorry Dad, I’m just worried about Jacob. He didn’t come home and he is not picking up his calls either” Rosa looked a little concerned.
“Maybe he finally killed himself because he couldn’t stand you,” Maya replied with an eye roll.
“Mom, that’s not a nice thing to say,” Skyler said and Maya almost rolled her eyes but she only forced a smile before she got on the old man’s bad book.
“You’re right, please forgive me, Rosa, I didn’t mean that” It pained Maya so much that she had to apologize to Rosa but she had to.
Rosa only gave her a smile that was not a smile, something that meant she wouldn’t be forgiving Maya for what she said any time soon.
The entrance door opened and Agnes stepped in with Hailey.
“Hey everyone” she waved while Hailey just forced a smile on her face as she stared at everyone.
“Agnes, Hailey!!” Maya was the first to stand up.
Ivy looked surprised.
“Hailey, why didn’t you tell me you were coming over so I would save some space for you to sit beside me?” Ivy asked and Maya smiled to herself.
“Sorry, just wanted to surprise you” Hailey smiled at her.
Edna sighed and stood up from her chair, she was sitting beside Ivy.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“I’ve been waiting for someone to come and save me from her,” Edna said and Ivy rolled her eyes.
Hailey sat beside Ivy and they smiled at each other.
Agnes who was beside Hailey stylishly stepped on her legs and when Hailey looked at her, she stylishly used her eyes to point at the old man.
Hailey understood and immediately stood up and gave a short bow to the old man.
“Good evening Grandpa, please forgive my poor manners” she apologized immediately.
Skyler looked confused with who they were, she looked at Mason and Mason shook his head like he had no idea.
“You can sit” grandpa Mario just nodded and Hailey took her seat.
Rosa saw Maya and Agnes exchanging glances at each other and she smirked.
“Hailey dear, I’m sure you’re a bit surprised to see a new face so I will introduce you. That is Skyler, Mason’s wife and Skyler, this is Agnes and Hailey, a friend of this family from childhood” she introduced.
Hailey’s smile slowly turned to a frown and Skyler noticed it.
“Hailey’s grandpa died two years ago but when he was still alive, he was really good friends with grandpa” Ivy added and Skyler nodded.
Mason helped in putting some food on her plate and she gave him a confused look.
“You’re not eating anything and I don’t like it” he whispered to her.
Skyler nodded at him and began eating while Hailey watched them with a frown.
Maya cleared her throat and faced Mason immediately.
“Mason, do you remember Hailey?” She asked and Hailey smiled as she stared at his face.
Mason didn’t look at Hailey, he just looked at Maya with one of his brows raised.
“Who’s Hailey?” He asked confusedly and Hailey’s smile turned to a frown once again.
