Hazel wiped the sweat off her forehead. Her carelessness just gave Zac the opening he needed."Well... How about I make you some braised tenderloin with radish? Would you like that?" she asked, trying to sound normal.He shook his head, his expression still mischievous."I'll cook whatever you want to eat. But I'm afraid I can't do anything else for you," she continued. He lowered his head to kiss her pout. "Do you really think a few dishes could keep me away?""Don't get too greedy." She pushed away his arms and stood up. "If you're thinking you can bed me with your attempts, just stop. I'm not the one for you. There are many women there who could warm your bed better than I could." But before she could finish her unnecessary explanation, she found that she had fallen into his trap. Frowning slightly at her, he asked, "Is that what you want? For me to find another woman?""I don't want to, but I'm sure you will," Hazel replied. Great and powerful men like Zac always attracted gorgeou
Although Hazel had already stayed in the villa for several days now, she had never been to other bedrooms except the one she was in. To quench her curiosity, she decided to go around and explore a little bit. One by one, she opened all the doors she saw and cautiously peered inside.The moment she finished doing that, she felt her blood boiling inside of her. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs.'All the beds here are exactly the same!' she thought, fuming. 'They only have different sizes!'Zac had her fooled!She walked into their room in a huff. Zac had just taken a bath then and was lying on the bed, playing a game on his iPad.With arms akimbo, Hazel glared at him. "I want to change my bed!" she hollered. "I want the biggest one! The one in the next room! If you don't change it, I will sleep in the next room starting tonight! I am not joking!"Zac's deep-set eyes widened in surprised.'How did she find out my little secret that fast!' he thought.He took a deep breath as
The afternoon rays of sunshine shone into the room through the opened curtains and woke Hazel from her sleep.She yelped. She felt dizzy and her bones felt as if they had been torn off her and re-installed and they were in danger of falling apart any time.She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a handsome face beside her."You're awake." The man rested his head on one of his hands and looked at her with a playful expression. There was laziness and satisfaction in his eyes."When did you come back?" Hazel was a little surprised. Wasn't he planning on ignoring her? Why did he come to her again?"Honey, why do you always snap at a critical moment?"The coldness from his fingers gave Hazel a chill. She took a look at her body under the quilt quickly.Oh my God! She was..."Zac, you... You..." She felt both annoyed and ashamed at the same time. Suddenly her face was covered with a burning sensation and she buried her head into the quilt like a snail. Then, she said, "Zac, you took advantage
Elizabeth sent Sage to serve Valery again. She believed that she was the most suitable person to serve her daughter.That woman had a lot of evil ideas and was bold. More than that, her entire family was dependent on Valery's family, so she would not be easily bought off by others.When Zac kicked her, she had to stay in the hospital for a week. So at first, she was afraid to go to Zac's house again, but when Elizabeth offered to give her a small house to live in in the future, she immediately agreed.People died for money, and rats died for food!She swore to help Valery kick the tramp out even if at the expense of her own life.At that moment, Hazel was having a stroll with Zac in the garden. Mary had asked them to stay for dinner. Zac wanted to turn her down since he wanted to have dinner in his own villa, out of sight and out of mind. But to his surprise, Hazel agreed without hesitation."Honey, let's have dinner at our own home, just the two of us," Zac suggested as he took a sea
Hazel found her father-in-law very kind and amiable, and he always seemed to look out for her. Once it was time for her to get a divorce with Zac, she would feel very sorry for him.On the other hand, Zac was also full of admiration for his dad. No wonder Albert was the head of the family—he was so wise.While the servants were serving dinner, Zac said in a careless tone, "Hazel likes having a lively atmosphere, and thinks living in a house with just me is too lonely, so we decided to move back.""It's time you went home." Albert gave his son a subtle smile.At the dinner table, Valery was actually the most upset one. If Hazel's role and status had been consolidated, she was an even bigger threat to her. The more power Hazel had, the more threatened Valery became.In the evening, Zac accompanied his father to his study to play chess.Meanwhile, Hazel watched some TV with Ivy. When she heard that there were a few new Epiphyllum flowers in the garden and that they bloomed at 9:00 every
In a panic, Hazel covered herself with a towel and asked, "How did you get in?" She distinctly remembered locking the door."I have the key." Zac smiled mischievously. Then he came over to her and took her into his arms. Feeling the cold temperature of her body, he paused and asked, "Are you cold?"After getting wet in the rain, how could she not feel cold?"Let go of me. I need to change my clothes." She tried to push him away as hard as she could but she ended up grunting in pain. She had accidentally pulled on her injured knee after putting in all her strength to push him.It was not until then that Zac noticed that her knees were still bleeding. He guided her towards the bed and helped her sit down. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the wet clothes on the floor. He frowned and asked, "What happened?""I got wet in the rain when I went to see the Epiphyllum, and I fell on the ground on my way back," Hazel said in a casual tone.Zac stroked her head tenderly then t
Mary pursed her lips and said, "No matter what you say, she is still liable for Valery's cold, so it is her duty to stay and take care of Valery."Zac's eyes flashed angrily again. "Mommy, I'm not expecting you to be fair to everyone, but please, at least don't lose the ability to tell right from wrong." With that, he lifted Hazel up and carried her out of the room."Zac!" Mary was outraged. She thought of what Elizabeth said about how those women who wanted to outlive their husbands all possessed the charm to bewitch their husbands. Now, her son was in such a situation. It was horrible.Zac came back to their bedroom and laid Hazel on the bed. His eyes were full of love."You idiot, don't do such a silly thing again. What if you also catch a cold?""I'm fine. I can take some medicine if I catch a cold." She smiled lightly, "Don't you care about that child? I had to protect him for you.""I care about you more. You need to take care of yourself properly." His voice was like a gentle n
"Okay, I'll get to the point," Mary said in a serious tone. "I don't want this accident to happen again, and it doesn't matter to me whether you did it intentionally or not. Valery's baby is the eldest grandson of our family. If anyone dares to hurt him, I will not spare that person.""Don't worry. I won't do anything for her anymore." With a soft voice, Hazel said these words in a neither overbearing nor servile manner.There was a muscle on Mary's face that twitched a little. Last night, she asked Hazel to take care of Valery but she didn't do it, and today she even said such words to block her. She wouldn't have dared to challenge the authority of her mother-in-law if she wasn't under the protection of Zac."Valery is pregnant. You are responsible for taking care of her. To be the lady of our family, you have to be tolerant and generous. If you are not mature yet and can't do this, you'd better not interfere in the affairs of our family for the meantime."Mary's voice was slow and
