In the bedroom, Zac was already back in bed. He looked over the door and said, "If you don't come out, I'm breaking in.""It's not my fault that your bathtub is so comfortable." She cracked a joke to conceal her frail heart.When she walked towards her bedside, she suddenly stopped and was left bewildered. She looked at the bed and wondered why it seemed so much smaller than it did yesterday. She wondered if she was just dazzled or her vision was getting impaired."I thought you were sleepy. Why don't you get on bed so we can sleep?" Zac leaned against the head of the bed and his eyes flashed with delight.She proceeded to lie on the bed and pulled up the blanket. Zac followed and turned towards her with his head resting on his hand. He smiled with wonder and asked, "You muddle headed dummy, what do you think of Dragon City? Have you encountered any problems?""It's been fine, however, there is a bit too much pressure," she said with an adorable pout."I
Hazel liked to sleep in, so she didn't get up until noon.They were just about to go hiking on the mountain after having an early lunch when William called all of a sudden. "Hazel has hit the headlines again."The headline read, "Hazel met a strange man in a hotel and stayed there until midnight."In the photo, Hazel and the man seemed locked in an intimate embrace.Upon seeing the photo, Hazel guessed that it was taken when she was about to open the door and go out. Fortunately, they didn't recognize Hanson. Otherwise, it would have been more troublesome.Zac was no longer in the mood to go hiking. His face turned gloomy, as if it was covered by the horrible clouds before a heavy storm. When she told him that her friend had come, he thought she was talking about Eva, but it turned out to be a man.There was only one man in the world who was able to get that close to her. The man's hair was a mess and his face was covered with stubble, but Zac still reco
"Zac, don't go, stay and take care of our baby, okay?" Valery said, looking pitiful."I'll come back later," Zac said coldly. He jerked her hands off himself and quickly walked out of the living room.Looking in the direction he had gone, she felt both angry and sad. This amalgamation of overwhelming feelings made her tear up.Mary walked closer to her and patted her on the shoulder, comforting her, "Don't worry. Take it easy. He is bound to come back sooner or later as long as the child is here."The bamboo forest was quiet, dark and mysterious. Millions of leaves rustled together, creating a meditative atmosphere.A path paved in stone wound into its depths. The tall bamboos had even dyed the sun green.The gentle breeze kissed the tips of bamboo leaves lightly. The rustling sounded like someone laughing with pride.But Hazel's senses were clouded by her rage. She walked with heavy steps, brooding so much in her head t
The pastry chef they had hired was from Britain. He was simply amazing at making cakes.With the help of a maid, Valery was walking toward the garden.Hazel spotted her from the corner of her eye but chose to ignore it.But Valery didn't want to let her go easily. She walked into the pavilion and sat down without asking her anything.In Valery's mind, she was the future hostess of the family. She thought it was better to already start acting like it and suppress Hazel as much as possible.Hazel suddenly fell into a bad mood. The cake did not taste the same today, because the woman in front of her had affected her appetite."Don't you feel like this house is a wonderland, since you're such a poor girl? I'm afraid you won't get to enjoy such a good day in a big garden for a long time after this..."Hazel ignored her deliberately. Infuriated but unwilling to argue with her, she took out her phone and started playing a game on it.The maid poured a c
Hazel coughed delicately and changed the topic. "Ivy, what do you think of the suit I made this time?""It looks amazing! I think yours is more beautiful than Sunny's, but I know the judges from Bella would side with Sunny without my Hanson there. I know they can only recommend even though people are their relatives, but it's obvious that your suit should win. My Hanson would have been the most fair judge there." Ivy completely disregarded her brother's cold glare as she talked about Hanson.Without a word, Hazel self-consciously lowered her head to drink tea. She didn't want to be caught in the crossfire.Ice guy is extremely possessive. Even though Hazel was his wife in name only, she was a subject of his own kingdom, and no one could steal what was his.Of course, Ivy was clueless about what was going on among them. She moved closer to Hazel and said with a flattering smile, "Hazel, aren't you Hanson's junior in school? Do you have his personal social media a
Getting off the vehicle, they glanced at the beautiful mountain ahead of them. It was indeed a marvelous place to spend the weekend. Everywhere, they could get a fresh breath of air. Beautiful environment and pleasant scenery could put any mind at ease.Now that they were out of the car, Hazel took Daisy's hand and walked up to William. "William, Zac and I will take care of Ivy, but Daisy is your sole responsibility. Take care of her," she warned, but there was a hidden smile.William quickly nodded and his expression was that of a calm man. But deep down, he was a bit startled.Since he had obliged without any questions, Hazel was a bit stunned. He seemed cold like an ice and it was beyond difficult to decipher what was going on in his heart.Ivy was the first to rush into the mountain, followed by others. Two servants were responsible for the backpacks and tents. They would camp on the mountain tonight.Climbing the mountain was quite an adventure. There w
"Yes." She spat out the word as if she was mad at him, but it sounded weak even to her ears. Didn't he have another woman in his heart?A flash of jealousy flickered in his eyes, but bitterness was the emotion that ruled in his heart. Her heart seemed to be closed off to him; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get in."I can wait!" he said in a clear, forceful voice, and he meant every word. Once she became his woman, she would be his only woman for the rest of their lives.She looked at him blankly, stunned and not understanding his meaning. "Wait? Wait for what exactly?""Wait for you to forget him." To Essie, his eyes remained in shadow. What she didn't know was that Zac was staring at her like she was his whole world."Why should I forget him?" she asked sarcastically, her face twisted in a sneer. What she really wanted to ask was: "Can you forget Leila?" In the past, Hanson gave her up to get Bella. Zac gave up Leila for the sake of his family. To
The next morning, Ivy wanted to go to the pool and swim. Listening to her plea, everyone joined.In the clean water, the blue sky was glistening. The fish swam around freely.Zac and William were as agile and nimble as a fish hawk.Hazel, who didn't know to swim, stayed away from water. Since she didn't have much to do, she preoccupied herself with the task of roasting the fish which Zac and William had caught earlier.Not far away, there was a dark shadow hiding in the jungle. This tall man had his eyes glued on Hazel. He had been hiding at the top of the mountain for the whole night. But since Zac was always around Hazel, he couldn't complete his task. Today, everyone else was swimming and he would cling onto this opportunity to kill Hazel.'The time has finally come!' he thought with a sigh of relief.He put down the black bag in his hand and carefully opened it. A hungry viper crawled out of it and slowly went towards the pool.Hazel had already
