Jordan and Hailey looked at each other at the same time.
Hailey was still as beautiful as ever, be it when she was angry, smiling, tearing up, or drenched in the rain.
However, Jordan knew that there was no turning back for both of them.
Hailey kept accusing Jordan of holding a grudge against her for her affair with Tyler, but that wasn't actually the case.
Hailey and Tyler's affair happened before Jordan revealed his identity.
That incident had indeed hurt Jordan, but it wasn't irreparable.
The real reason that Jordan felt that he couldn't spend the rest of his life with Hailey was the affair between her and Cayden.
When it began, Hailey was already the wife of the president of Ace Corporation, and she would soon become one of the heirs to the Steeles.
Perhaps Hailey and Cayden really didn't have anything going on, but holding hands was still inappropriate even then.
