Den said coldly, "Take Ewan and leave. I don''t want to see either of you again." Then, he turned on his heel and walked away.


    Hailey called out, "Den!"


    He paused for a brief second.


    Just then, Ste ran up and grabbed Den''s arm. "Den, why did youe outside?"


    She nced at Hailey and Ewan, then asked, "Den, do you know them?"


    Den''s lips moved imperceptibly, then said indifferently, "No."


    Ste smiled brightly. "Then let''s go back inside. My dad is here. He was asking about you earlier."


    Den nodded. "Alright."


    He walked away with Ste.


    Hailey stood frozen, her teary eyes blurring as she watched him disappear with another young woman.


    Ewan got up and scoffed. "Hailey, did you see that? This is the man you like. He doesn''t care about you at all. He broke your heart. He''s a terrible person you should just forget about."


    Hailey turned to him. "Den''s a terrible person? And what about you? Are you one?"


    Ewan stammered, "I..."


    Without waiting for him to finish, Hailey turned and walked away.


    Ewan quickly grabbed her arm. "It''ste. It''s dangerous for a young woman to go home alone. Get in the car. I''ll take you home."


    Hailey tried to shake him off. "I don''t need you to send him home."


    However, Ewan didn''t listen. He forced her into his car and drove off.


    Meanwhile, Den had returned. He watched as the sports car disappeared from his view, his gaze darkening.


    He had said those things on purpose.


    From the moment he stepped into this world, he and Hailey were never meant to be.


    She was like a delicate rose, like an untainted gem-pure and untouched by the filth of reality.

    Den didn''t respond. He simply stepped past her, intending to leave.


    Ste suddenly said, "Den, since you broke up with her, why don''t we be together? I like you!"


    Den nced at her. "Don''t waste your time on me. I''ll never like you."


    Then, he walked away.


    "Den!"


    Ste stomped her foot in frustration.


    She had fallen for him at first sight, and she wasn''t nning to give up.
