The moment Hanson was released, he rushed to the apartment to look for Hazel. However, she wasn't there, and all he found was an empty room. When he came out the door, he received a message from Hazel."Hanson, I apologize. I can't run off to Italy with you. After thinking it over, I've changed my mind. I am now the lady of the honorable Rong family. I have gained so much power from my affiliation with this family, and the possibilities are limitless. It would not be worth it to give it all up to become a nobody. Perhaps, like other women, I also like the idea of materialism and vanity. I neither have the confidence nor courage to start off in a new place with nothing. I know that love is valuable, but bread is more important to survive. If I were to choose one, I would rather choose bread. There was a time I resented you for choosing Bella over our love, but I now understand that you were in fact making the righteous choice. We could only be happy if we had wealth and power. If we ha
He placed the magazine on his bedside table and turned his eyes towards her, placing his head an inch away from her. His eyes seemed even darker than the dark night sky that Hazel could see through the window."You don't believe me?" he asked.There was a bit of mockery when she rolled her eyes and answered, "Why should I believe a person who has lied to me?"He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not? A man had once abandoned you but you came back into his arms again, didn't you?""He only did that because he had to," she pouted."Well, the same goes for me," he whispered softly, as if he was only talking to himself.She sneered and said, "You deserve it." She suffered through so much hardship and misfortune ever since he met her. It was unfair that she was forced to help him while he controlled and fooled around with others.His face started to seem overcast and his eyes got even deeper. He asked with a soft, gloomy tone, "Why do you love him so much? Is he really better than me?"Sh
"You idiot, if you want me all to yourself, then you can just say so. You don't need to be jealous." His teasing tone hid his disdain and dissatisfaction toward her.Hazel shot up from the bed and glared at him with hands on her hips. "I have no interest in you whatsoever," she ground out angrily. "I'm a neat freak. I hate it when you lay your hands on me after touching another woman. Never touch me again, you filthy person!""So I should guard my purity for you?" He turned around, resting his chin on one hand, and gazed at her playfully.Hazel rolled her eyes. "It is called clean living. If you go out all day and mess around with someone else, God knows what sort of diseases you might catch." She snorted.He reached out his hand and stroked her head. With a worried look on his face, he said, "You idiot, I find that you are more and more stupid. It's really troublesome."Troublesome? That word again?If Hazel never heard that word again in her entire life, then that would still be too
She pouted secretly, deliberating whether she would give Zac his due. She was tempted to deliver a blow to his pride and say that the other noodles were far superior to his, but the angel inside wanted her to play nice. She only smiled and said, "Your noodles taste different, but this is delicious." After saying that, she busied herself in eating and ignored him.He was not disappointed at all. As long as his wife appreciated his cooking, the whole morning's hard work was not in vain.After eating the noodles, she patted her tummy in satisfaction. Then, she decided to go shopping with Eva.In those days, Eva had been staying in Dragon City to participate in the initial screening for 'War Emperor.' Now, she had succeeded in reaching the semi-finals.Hazel was determined to go shopping crazily using the credit card ice guy had given her.Hazel and Eva arrived at Time Square. As the first order of the day, Hazel made a beeline for the Patek Philippe store to buy a watch for fun.Eva was
"Okay. How about I spend five million for you tomorrow?" Hazel tried if she could provoke him to change his mind. Sadly for her, Zac just continued smiling at her with love in his eyes. He replied in a soft voice, "The card belongs to you. Spend as you like. You don't need to let me know what you did with it.""If I spent five million a day, would you go bankrupt?" she asked."You idiot, I will always make far more money than you could ever spend. How would I go bankrupt?" He shook his head with a smile, her words amusing him.And that was when she began to feel that what she did today was very childish. Her fighting spirit died a quiet death. She had spent the whole day trying to piss him off. Unexpectedly, he didn't even frown. She wanted to hide in the corner and draw circles to curse him.It was one a quarter million dollars! If that amount of money was donated to the poor, it could help a few children who were forced to drop out of school out of poverty. How could she spend every
He was playing up their affection, knowing everyone was watching them.Ivy and Daisy looked at each other as they rubbed their arms. "Oh, my God! I'm getting goose bumps all over. I know that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'. But please don't rub it into our faces. I'm still single. Okay?""When you get yourself a boyfriend, you might be more clingy than them." Daisy giggled.Ivy sniffed as she said, "I only have eyes for Hanson. As for other boys, I have no interest in them." She propped her chin with both hands. She didn't notice the cold aura from Zac beside her.How dare Ivy brought this up!Valery was livid with rage as they taunted her with a scene she knew she would never be a part of. Her features twisted hideously. She said, "Ivy, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Your Hanson is already in love with someone else," Her voice was dripping with malice and she fixed her eyes on Hazel coldly.Hazel was shocked. Was it possible that Valery had known about her and Hanson?But
Zac and Hazel were both absent during Ivy's birthday party, but had all their gifts delivered to arrive on time.Ivy however, was not disappointed at all. She didn't even seem to notice as she had been completely distracted by Hanson's attendance to her party.Hanson was not interested in Ivy's party whatsoever. He attended simply thinking that Hazel would be there. When he arrived there, he looked all over for her, but was told that Hazel had other matters to attend. Hanson was completely disappointed and was left with a sullen expression. He had initially intended to leave right when he found out, but when he realized that forming a bond with Ivy might have some good use for him in the future, he reluctantly decided to stay.This man was breathtaking, gentle and elegant. Subjectively, he looked even more stunning than he did on television. He seemed like a prince charming straight out of a fairytale. All the girls in the party were so excited that they nervously came up to greet him
"She is fine. They won't be getting any results, anyway, so they might as well end early." Christina shrugged. She had never thought her elder sister and Zac would end up being together.Hearing their conversation, Hanson's eyes twinkled. "Christina, is your sister named Leila?" Their last names were the same, and considering the relationship that they were discussing, he felt that he was correct.Christina nodded and said, "Yes, my sister is a special guest for the second round of 'Beauty on Runway.' Hanson, you probably know my sister, right?""Yes, I know her." An unreadable expression flashed across Hanson's eyes. "What's the relationship between your sister and Ivy's cousin?""They used to be together. I guess you can call them each other's first loves," Christina said in an understatement.Hanson frowned and shot a worried glance toward Ivy. "Last time at the opening ceremony of Yang City fashion week, I saw that your cousin and Christina's sister attended together. Are they sti
