Chapter 543

"You rented a car? How much did it cost?"

Hayley looked at the black sedan parked by the side of the road and frowned.

She had no money, so she turned to Hilda and said, "Hilda, can you lend me some money? I need to pay for my son's car rental."

Hilda pulled a handful of bills out of her apron pocket and handed Hayley three hundred- dollar bills.

"Mom, you don't have to pay for the car. I borrowed it from a friend!"

He wanted to say it was his car, but he was afraid Hayley would ask for the paperwork. So he decided to be honest to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Hayley's frown deepened.

"You borrowed it? Do you even know how to drive? What if you damage it? Can you afford to fix it?"

The car looked expensive, and any damage would probably cost thousands to repair.

Owen stiffened. He knew she was worried about him, but he wondered if she had to publicly embarrass him.

Just then, Hilda chuckled.

"Hayley, Owie just got back. Give him a break!"

Hayley looked around and noticed several people watching. She nodded.

"Gordon, Hilda..."

With a smile, Owen greeted them.

"Look at you. You're looking better every day. Got a girlfriend yet? If not, I can have Hilda set you up with one!"

Gordon laughed heartily.

Hayley shot Gordon a glare.

"Save it for your son. My boy's not even an adult yet!"

Owen walked over to Heath and Benjamin.

"Heath, you're finally awake!" Owen said with tears in his eyes.

Heath stared at Owen in surprise.

"Is she your mom?"

"Yeah. She wasn't any trouble, was she?"

Heath shook his head and smiled.

"No. She even invites us over for dinner sometimes."

"That's good to hear!"

Owen patted his chest in relief. Hayley could be harsh sometimes and he was worried that she might have upset Heath.

The air grew colder as the sun went down.

Benjamin said to Owen, "I have to take Heath back now. You should spend some time with your mom."

Heath was still weak, and while some sunlight was good for him, he needed to avoid catching a cold.

Benjamin pushed Heath in the direction of Franklin Complex while Owen returned to Hayley's side.

Gordon suddenly asked, "Owie, do you know those guys?"

"Yeah. I introduced them to Carlisle."

"So, what do they do?"

"They're..."

Owen almost gave away Heath's true identity. He figured that Gordon he didn't know who Heath really was if he was asking.

"They're Carlisle's business partners," Owen said, making up an excu

Gordon could tell that Owen wasn't being entirely truthful, but he didn't push any further.

He just smiled and said, "Well, don't just stand there. Come in and have a drink!" "Wait, Gordon. I brought you some presents!" Owen said and ran to the back of the Mazda.

Gordon was pleasantly surprised.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"Well, look at that. The kid's thoughtful enough to bring presents!"

Owen pulled out two bottles of Smirnoff and a gift bag from a jewelry store.

"Kid, you must be making a lot of money now!"

Gordon's eyes widened.

Owen handed Gordon the liquor and smiled.

"I've made some, but I wouldn't call it big money just yet."

Before he returned, he asked Felicia for an advance on a year's salary. He owed his success to

Carlisle, so bringing gifts to Carlisle's parents was the least he could do.

"I've never had Smirnoff. I guess I'll have to enjoy it!" Gordon said, grinning as he accepted

the liquor.

Owen handed Hilda the gift bag.

"Hilda, this is for you!"

"This is too expensive. You should keep it."
