"Let bygones be bygones. There's no need for us to talk about it again," she replied lightly."Yes, it has been four years, after all." Walt smiled bitterly. She had totally forgotten him, whereas he had always thought of her and looked for her desperately.After a moment's silence, he said, "Aren't you bothered by that matter between Zac and Valery?""I have no problem with anything that happened before I knew Zac," she said lightly with a shrug, deliberately putting on a nonchalant demeanor. In the Rong family, there were Valery and Mary, who were scheming and malicious toward her at every turn. They intended to have her kicked out of the family, so she must be extremely cautious with every word she uttered and every move she made.Walt's eyes darkened. "It is good that you don't mind. That way, your relationship won't suffer.""Don't worry, my relationship with Zac is stronger than the moorstone," said Hazel with a light laugh, full of confidence in what she had just said. However,
They chatted for some time, and then Mandy stood up to head toward the washroom.Not long after she had left, Hanson came in.Hazel's heart skipped a beat when their eyes met. "Hanson, why are you here?""I just came in for a cup of coffee. I didn't expect to see you here. You always say that we're star-crossed lovers, but it looks like we're destined, after all." Hanson gazed at her without blinking, and his eyes were full of longing. That morning, he received a call from Valery, who told him that he could see Hazel at two o'clock in the afternoon. He instantly dropped all of his prior commitments and rushed to the cafe. Valery expressly forbade him to mention that it was her who told him Hazel's whereabouts, so he invented a reason to rationalize his presence in the establishment.Upon hearing those words, Hazel's heart twitched slightly. The two of them were doomed to part. Besides, Zac would never let her go given his possessive nature. If the two of them ever tried to be together
When Mandy came out of the coffee shop, she acted surprised and said, "Hazel, I just came across Hanson. Did you see him?"Hazel nodded and said, "Yes, I've greeted him already." It seemed as though she didn't want to talk about it.An indescribable darkness appeared in Mandy's deep eyes and said, "Since you have Zac now, you could finally let go of Hanson.""Hanson and I are just friends now," said Hazel, while she shrugged and waved her hand. She decided to drag Mandy to go shopping to finally end the conversation. There was a deep rooted resentment that was instilled in Mandy's heart. She wouldn't let Hazel go so easily and vowed to take revenge for robbing her of the man she truly loved.By the time she arrived back at the Rong Mansion, Hazel noticed that Ivy and Valery had already arrived back home.When Ivy saw Hazel walking towards the living room, her face immediately darkened with gloom. She stood up from the couch and left to go upstairs, completely ignoring Hazel's presence
After the show was over, Hazel started to browse through the programs available. Just then, she remembered today was the premiere of Jim's new drama, 'Diamond Family.'"Jim's personality perfectly fits this kind of program." She giggled."I like his comedy shows more," Zac said with a mysterious smile. Jim usually played with different kinds of genres and seldom play the same kind of drama show in a year."I don't think he's suitable to play in a romantic drama," Hazel said in a feigned serious tone as she touched her chin."Why not?" Zac said, raising one of his eyebrows at her."Could you imagine him doing kissing scenes? Even the bed scenes are not real. So what is the point of watching them?" She narrowed her eyes as she tried to give off a seductive look at Zac.Zac was speechless. He could imagine Jim getting a nosebleed at Hazel's insinuations."Honey, you do know he's a germophobe, right?""Humph!" There was a look of disbelief on Hazel's face. How could Jim possibly be a germ
How could he still force her to stay if her presence would just bother him? How could he keep bothering her and torturing her to death every night if she was a headache to him?"Since I'm a big headache to you, then free yourself from the pain and let me go," she muttered sourly.His face immediately darkened. "Don't say such nonsense again," he said seriously.She snorted, "Unless you tie me up with a chain, I will find a way to escape." Her tone sounded like a hissy fit. She was a pain in his butt. He didn't love her at all. The only reason she was still here was because he trapped her into this death sentence of a marriage just because his demands needed to be met.His shapely eyebrows twisted. He was nearing the end of his patience but he had to hold his anger back. Smiling mischievously, he crept one hand to her underbelly. "Maybe when you have a child, you won't think about leaving anymore." He hadn't been practiced contraception all the time. If everything went smooth, she woul
"What happened? Why are you bleeding all of a sudden?" Sage was frightened. For pregnant women, bleeding was considered a bad sign as it usually denoted miscarriage. Because of that, she hurried to find Zac.At that time, Zac was in Hazel's studio goofing around. His goal was to distract Hazel to the point that she was unable to concentrate on drawing her designs.It had been said that a man would be obscene after being fed. Hazel thought it particularly suited Zac.Their little fun, however, was disrupted when Sage burst into the room. After hearing what she had to say, Zac ran out of the studio in a hurry. Hazel followed him closely.Valery was crying her heart out as she sat in the backseat of the speeding car. More than the pain she was feeling, she was scared that she would have a miscarriage and lose her child.Hazel was on another car right behind the one Valery was in.Something about the whole situation was not sitting r
She immediately took hold of Elizabeth. She was planning on having a retort to push the narrative that Hazel was the one who should be blamed but she never anticipated what Zac did. She underestimated his ability to spot what was wrong and his commitment on pursuing the truth.Seeing all of these unfold, Mary stood up and said firmly, "It's a misunderstanding, Zac. There is no need to get the police involved."This gave Elizabeth another opportunity, another opening. "You know what? Forget it," she said dismissively as she waved her hand in the air. "Valery and her child are fine, and that is what's important. I will not investigate this tragic incident any further." After she spoke, she ordered the obviously shaken up Sage to go inside Valery's room to take care of her. Like a panicked mouse, Sage scurried to the VVIP ward, as if making an escape from Zac who seemed determined on having her jailed."Zac, you stay here with Valery. We'll go back first," Ma
Hazel was working on her design in the garden pavilion. She was expecting Mary to come, so she schooled her expression into one as placid as a pool without any ripples."I know that Zac wants to help you, but everything is clear to me. I didn't expect you to be so unscrupulous that you would plan such a thing to harm Valery's child!" The older woman had a cold frown on her face, and her usually gentle mask was completely shattered. In her eyes, she was able to find a diplomatic way to settle the matter, thus making Hazel feel like she was easy to deal with... it was Hazel who took advantage of her kindness and bullied her beloved daughter-in-law and her adored grandson. 'Today, I am going to show that little bitch what the lady of the house is really like.'With a face still devoid of expression, Hazel replied, "You are already determined to burn me at the stake anyway, no matter what I say. Say whatever you want, I don't care..." Her voice trailed off as a smack resounded when Mary's
