That important figure was coming soon, and Declan didn't even know if he would survive. Right now, he couldn't promise Hailey anything.
Declan knew he was being selfish. He couldn't give her anything, yet he still held her tightly in his arms. He was terrified of losing her.
Hailey reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Declan, you're mine. Do you hear me?"
This was Hailey's possessiveness over him.
Declan cupped the back of her head and kissed her red lips.
The kiss was brief, and he soon pulled away. Hailey nestled obediently in his arms.
"Hailey, go to sleep," Declan murmured.
Hailey was indeed feeling sleepy. She closed her eyes and drifted off.
When Hailey woke up, Declan was already gone. The high school entrance exams had begun, and Hailey escorted Aileen to the exam hall. The first day went smoothly, and Aileen estimated that she had scored close to a perfect mark.
Declan had been the top scorer in the province during his exams years ago, and Aileen was just like her brother. Hailey had complete faith in her.
The next day, Hailey dropped Aileen off again and waited outside.
Suddenly, a sleek sports car roared up. The driver's door swung open, and out stepped Ewan.
Ewan rushed over to Hailey. "Hailey, why are you still here?"
Hailey barely spared him a glance. "I'm waiting for Aileen to finish her exam. This is an exam hall—no loud noises or unnecessary people allowed. Please leave."
