Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Hailey Was Tone-deaf and Uncoordinated! “Oh my!” Ava’s eyes widened as she looked at the gifts in the living room. “Hailey, who sent so many gifts?” Hailey sighed in her heart. It was none other than her First Father, who was spendthrift and proud. Lily was ordering the servants to count the gifts. She told Hailey, “A few vans pulled up in front of the Garden of Rose early in the morning. The drivers said they had been ordered by Mr. Ingram to deliver the gifts. Old K checked everything carefully. There were no dangerous goods and they had a handwritten letter from Mr. Ingram, so we let them in. I didn’t expect them to bring so much stuff.

There was a lot more outside. I had them moved to the warehouse.” Then she handed the letter to Hailey. Hailey opened the beautifully wrapped envelope. Sure enough, it was a handwritten letter from First Father. He even wrote “Happy

Birthday” in Conglish. His handwriting was careless but cute like a schoolboy’s. Maybe Karl had just taught him. Hailey couldn’t help but smile. The servants hadn’t seen her so happy in a long time, so they were happy too. They all bowed to her. “Ms. Newman, happy birthday!” Hailey chuckled. “Thank you. I must give each of you a red envelope.” The servants all cheered. Lily smiled helplessly. Like Mrs. Newman, Ms. Newman often gave them red envelopes. They were both generous. “Hailey, can I help open the presents?” Ava was as curious as a child. Hailey said, “Let’s eat first.” Ava stared at her with pleading eyes. There were so many gift boxes in front of her, and she really couldn’t wait to open them! Since Ava had just given her the phoenix hairpin, Hailey could only compromise. “Okay, go ahead.” “Great!” Ava happily took Lily with her to open the gifts. She looked like a little hamster. Hailey was amused. Seeing the curious eyes of the other servants, she said directly, “You may join them.” Then all the servants started opening the gifts. The gift boxes looked so expensive that they were careful not to dirty them. As they opened each box, they gasped and suspected that Mr. Ingram was the Count of Monte Cristo and that the jewels had come from his treasure trove. “Ava, come to the table. Don’t you have to go to work today?” Hailey called Ava to breakfast. There were too many gifts for them to open

in one day. Ava squatted in front of Hailey like a child and gave a big smile. “Master gave me a day off to celebrate your birthday.” “Ada is a workaholic. How did she become so considerate?” Hailey asked in surprise, wiping the sweat off Ava’s forehead with her handkerchief. Ava grinned. “Because I’m adorable.” Hailey laughed and rubbed her nose. “Yeah, you’re the most adorable.” Chris came in just in time and complained, “Ms. Newman, please don’t be so intimate with Ava. Give me a chance.” Hailey glared at him. “That’s your business. Why should I give her to you if you’re not as good to her as I am to her?” Ava nodded as she hugged Hailey from behind and rested her head against her. Hailey was so good to her. She didn’t need a man! Chris was speechless. He realized that it was going to be hard to please Ava.

Hailey’s brothers were coming to Poya today, so she gave herself the day off, but she still had to work. She told Chris to bring all the urgent papers to the Garden of Rose. She wanted to put on the phoenix hairpin Ava gave her, but her red hair didn’t match it, so she called a stylist to do her makeup and hair while she was working. Ava was drawing designs on the carpet in her room. Watching Hailey have a video conference in four languages fluently, she was impressed and stared at her with admiration in her eyes. Chris noticed it, walked over, and snapped his fingers before her eyes. “What’s that look?” The admiration in her eyes made him jealous. “Chris, Hailey speaks four languages.” Ava was really envious. She wasn’t good at languages, so she admired people who could communicate with others in a fluent foreign language. She thought that was cool! Chris said, “I’ve heard Ms. Newinan communicate with people in eight languages fluently. Plus some dialects, she speaks more than ten languages. She’s a language genius.” Stunned, Ava asked, “Is there anything she can’t do?” “Of course.” Out of jealousy, Chris couldn’t resist ruining Hailey’s image by telling Ava her story. Ava asked him curiously, “What is it?” Chris glanced at Hailey and whispered, “She’s tone deaf and uncoordinated!” Ava stared in shock. “Really?” “You’ll see tonight. Her five brothers will definitely force her to perform at her birthday party,” Chris replied with a teasing smile. Ava frowned al him. “Do you know who you look like now?” Chris asked, “Who?”

“The Queen’s servant,” Ava replied. Chris was speechless. How could she say he looked like a servant? Hailey had just finished a video conference. Lily knocked on the door and said, “Ms. Newman, Mr. Holland is here.” “What’s he doing here?” Hailey frowned. She hadn’t seen Matthew since he lost his temper in her office. How dare he come here today? Wasn’t he afraid she’d throw him out? The sound of car horns and loud shouts came from downstairs. “Hailey! Sweetheart! Honey! Baby!” Matthew even shouted in different tones. ‘How annoying!’ Hailey coldly opened the window and looked downstairs. Matthew was grinning on a white horse. “Come on down! I brought you your birthday present.”
