2024-10-29 19:42:56In the coffee shop, Hazel sat with her head bowed down.
With nothing else to do, she preoccupied herself with stirring the coffee in her cup. An awkward silence persisted.
Hanson felt a wave of disappointment in his heart. There seemed to be an invisible distance between them, like a white mist, spreading around. And it expanded slowly, making her farther and farther away from him. But the worst part was, he could do nothing to stop it.
'Is it because of my wedding ceremony or perhaps it has something to do with the man who attended the engagement party with her?' His thoughts took him to dark places.
"How are you doing these days?" he asked, attempting to break the deafening silence.
"Not bad." She pursed her lips and asked, "Hanson, are you here to invite me for the wedding?" She couldn't take it anymore and wished to know the reason behind his sudden call.
He trembled violently, a touch of bitterness emerging in his heart. "You want to re

Zac's room's door was still closed. He showed no signs of coming out.Even though Hazel was sure he would have locked it from inside, she twisted the handle. Surprisingly, it wasn't locked! She then peeped inside, trying to see what Zac was doing.It was already evening and the sky was dim, making the room extremely dark. Zac was standing in front of the window, motionless, like a lifeless thing. The night wind blew inside through the window, swaying the curtains. However, Zac stood firm on the ground, unperturbed by the wild wind. Nothing could arouse his reaction because his heart was in a much worse condition.Although his face was hidden from her view, she could imagine the gloom that would be etched on his face. Her presence didn't bring any reaction from him either.She cut an orange into pieces and sneaked inside."Zac, I'm back. Would you like to have some oranges?"But he turned a deaf ear to her."This orange is so sweet and

In the afternoon, Lucy and Bob went out to see houses. In the meantime, Hazel drew up a property agreement. It said, "After the marriage, all properties under our names will remain ourown, including all real estate properties. After the divorce, neither of us will be allowed to take any property in the other's name."Hazel had thought that Zac would pull a long face when he read the agreement, but contrary to what she had expected, he remained as calm as a lake, without the slightest emotions on his face.Were his face muscles stiff because of the stimulation? She was extremely worried. To be honest, the last thing she wanted was to hurt his fragile ego, but his reaction was hard to predict.When it came to money, there were a lot of couples who ended up hurting each other, so she had to prepare for the future."Zac, I honestly don't mean anything by this. You see, there are a lot of couples who fight during their divorce over the division of thei

"First of all, you are my wife. Even if I bought the house, you legally own half of it. The law will protect you from anyone who wants to take away that right, including me. Second, if you had shared your apartment with me, I would be worried about my sleeping place all the time, so where will I get the time and energy to invest in the stock market? Finally, you're my lucky charm in choosing which stocks to invest in. Without you, I probably would be suffering losses in the stock exchange. Now, do you still think you'd be freeloading by living here rent-free? All of those reasons perfectly justify your stay here,"Zac spoke in a slow, unhurried manner, and his voice wove a bewitching melody in Hazel's ears. It put her in a hypnotic trance; the more he spoke, the more she was convinced of the logic of such an arrangement.After all, she did make a significant contribution to Zac's success. Without her, he still would have been living as a penniless hobo. He would not ha

Zac and the woman got on a Rolls-Royce and soon disappeared. Far away from them, Hazel's eyes stayed glued to the place they had stood earlier. It took her a long time to snap back into reality.'Does it mean that he could not make money by hyping up shares? Is it possible he had sold himself for that apartment?'She scratched her head while pacing back and forth. The more she thought, the more she was convinced her suspicion was true. And now, she felt guilty. 'This is all my fault,' she muttered.His self-esteem must have been wounded by what aunt Wendy said. And she even forced him to sign the property agreement, it would be like rubbing salt into his wound. His self-esteem would be completely shattered!Although he looked cold on the outside, it turned out he was a simple-minded man. He handed over the credit card easily and didn't worry when the property ownership certificate had the wrong name.Now, she was afraid that he would be tortured by

Zac was shocked. Now, he finally understood what the little fool was up to. Apparently, she thought that he was going to sell himself so he can buy the house, and she came to rescue him. He saw her in an entirely different light.Even though she looked delicate and weak, deep in her heart, she was actually full of courage and would dare to pierce the sky if needed."This is my aunt," explained he as he leaned to her ear, in case she was planning to say something more earth shaking."Aunt?" Hazel said, shocked. "She is your aunt?" she repeated, still unable to believe it."Yes," Zac said with a nod.What a huge mistake she had made!Hazel was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to dig a hole and crawl inside it to hide herself. In fact, if there was ateleportation station beside her, she would definitely jump into it without hesitation and go straight to wherever it may take her and never return.Marci Rong knew what she mean

"I know, aunt. I'll be back soon." Zac interrupted her and turned his back to walk away. He didn't want to deal with such things as he had other things on his mind.At the bar, Hazel filled up Leila's glass and asked, "Are you Zac's ex-girlfriend?"Leila sat there while a flash of annoyance was seen from her eyes. She asked impetuously, "Why? Are you worried that I'll take him away from you?"Hazel passively waved her hand and casually responded, "I'm not worried about that at all. I just hope you don't treat me as a rival.""What... What do you mean by that?" Leila sat there frozen as her cheeks flushed pink. She wondered if she had been acting so transparent."Take it easy, gorgeous!" Hazel said in a pleasant voice. She had a friendly smile on her face while she picked up her glass from the table. "Don't take this the wrong way, we're just roommates. I don't have a relationship with him whatsoever.""Roommate?" Leila was slightly shocked w

"What the hell!"Zac cursed loudly as he took out his phone. When he looked at the caller ID on his screen, he saw that it was Leila calling him.He was just about to hang up the phone when Essie took the phone and said, "Take the call," as she slid her fingers to answer it. She proceeded to walk away to give them some space to talk."Zac! I just had an accident and got injured. I'm in the hospital and I don't know anyone else from this city. I'm scared. Can you please come over?"Zac was silent for a few moments, before he finally said, "Okay."Upon hearing what Zac said, Essie's heart sank with disappointment and utter dejection. She suddenly felt a hint of regret that she picked up the phone."I'll be back as soon as I can." He stroked her hair feeling a bit disheartened. He was unsure if his actions made her feel any better but he also didn't have the time to console her.Essie faced away and pursed her lips together. Her anxietie

It was already three o'clock in the morning. Soon, it would be dawn and light would crack through her window.But Hazel couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to put either her mind or body to rest.Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Rain was pouring heavily outside. 'The weather matches my current mood,' she thought with some annoyance.Her heart ached every second. Something in it expanded, consuming her completely. Nothing she did would reduce the ache.Her imagination started to run wild. She could vividly imagine Zac with his beloved woman, cozily wrapped in his arms.Damn it, why did she always have to think about him!She cursed her thoughts for always running back to him. He was allowed to love whoever he wanted. And what he did with his lover was none of her business. She had no right to dwell on his thoughts.After taking a deep breath, she forced herself to think about Hanson. After all, toda

Hazel clutched the lipstick gun and was ready to attack.Just when the tall and thin man was one meter away from them, a loud bang was heard. His left eye was bleeding immediately.

Sam put his hands over his head and squatted down in fear of being hit.Hazel glanced at Pana, and the latter shook her head and said, "no, it’s not me."Hearing the footsteps behind them, the two of them looked back in a hurry.A group of awe inspiring men in black were walking towards them.

Soon they were surrounded by the black men, with guns pointing at their
Enthralled By Love What A Disappointment
Seeing Vinton's expression, Essie took the opportunity and said, "actually, your sister has told me that if you are appointed to the chairman of the company, she won't take out the Commission. After all, you are the eldest son of the Xu family and she is a daughter. Even if she was appointed to be the chairman, she can only take charge of the company on behalf of others. Sooner or later, the Xu's Group will be handed over to you. But she didn't expect that it was your mother who wanted to be the chairman, so she had to stop her. The Xu's Group belonged to Xu family and any chairman of it must have the Xu family's last name. You see, in the ancient times, when Empress Wu became the emperor, all the people of the Wu family came out to fight for the throne. If your mother takes the throne, the members of her family will definitely join the board of directors. By then, you are not sure if you can be the chairman easily.

Enthralled By Love Mom's Ambition
Zac darkened his face.'Holy, can you stop being a jerk?'"You little boy, what do you know?" Zac rubbed Holy's hair indignantly."A fair lady is a gentleman's good mate! Sister Hazel is so beautiful and excellent that there are so many men chasing her. If you don't take action now, she will surely be taken away by someone." Holy laughed cunningly, deliberately making him feel threatened.A touch of rage flitted across his face. He knew that Hanson was annoying enough. Now even his biological brother wanted to ruin his reunion with Hazel. Humph, nobody can take his woman. Nor can his own brother."You brat, I think you should remind your sister that a rich and handsome man like me is always chased by women. If she doesn't take the initiative, I can't guarantee that I will keep a integrity for her all the time."

Zac walked quickly to them, leaving Leila behind. "Why are you two together?" He asked and frowned slightly."Why can't we be together?" Hazel retorted sourly."Zac, since you have divorced, we are just ordinary friends. And about what happened to Hazel, you don't need to ask more." Walt said slowly, distancing himself from Hazel.They were not friends. Hazel corrected him in her heart. Zac told her in person that they only had business relationship at the moment.There was a touch of melancholy on the face of Zac. Was his brother going to take advantage of his weakness and swoop in? Even if it was Zac's own brother, Walt would never have an idea on his wife. When he was about to speak, Leila walked to him from behind and put her hand in his arm. "Brother Zac, let's go to the bar counter for a drink?" She dragged him away on purpose.Looking at them, Hazel was furious and said, "excuse me." After saying that, she walked away with Walt arm in arm.Pulling his arm out of her grip, Zac i

"I... I just want to have a look at him. After all, I was pregnant for ten months and I miss him. " Said Valery in a pitiful voice."It seems that you are very sober and not mad." Zac snorted. If not for Rabi's sake, he would never let her live so comfortably."I... I took medicine every day. After taking medicine, I became clear headed. " Of course, Valery wasn't mad. She just pretended to be mad because she was afraid that Zac would punish her."Rabi has nothing to do with you. From now on, stay away from him." Zac warned."Got it." Said Valery in a trembling voice."Get out, as far as you can." When Zac growled, Valery just ran out like a rat. Her heart was full of hatred. She would try to get back what Hazel owed to her.Rabi didn't cry at the moment. As a child, he didn't remember what had happened just now.

Enthralled By Love The Mad Woman Was Out
Seeing her hesitation, Zac knew that the pajama was designed by herself. This muddle headed woman had always been confident in her fashion taste and design level. Even if someone doubted her, she didn't care. She just pretended that she didn't appreciate it. How could she be so depressed? Was it because...He couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth unconsciously. "Do you care about my opinion very much?""I... I don't. " She lowered her head in a hurry, as if his guess was right, and her long eyelashes covered her sparkling eyes. She didn't understand why, but she cared about his thoughts very much. She didn't care when others doubted her taste and disliked her design. She just hoped... He liked it.Her evasive look convinced him of something. "I see. You put on your night robe deliberately, and the trick is now covering up. You want me to see your gown inside."Hazel was almost pass out.

"I'm in charge of this project now. If I don't come, who else can?" Hazel rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "don't look down upon me! You are such an idiot to do clothes design for me!".Zac handed her a architectural design drawing. "Well, then please make a specific presentation."Hazel was dumbfounded. She was just a rookie and didn't know how to do the professional issues like design, construction and cost.Zac sneered, "don't tell me. You can't even understand the design drawing."'I really can't understand it.' Hazel thought in her heart. "I'm now the executive of the company and in charge of whatever comes into view. The project team of Hengyuan has arrived in C Island two days ago. They will report the specific development to you.""You know nothing! Aren't you afraid that they may fool you?"

"Don't you have someone with you tonight?" Hazel stared at him angrily and found that Leila was not with him at the moment. She should be going to the makeup room to fix her makeup."Do you really want me to be with another woman?" He frowned slightly and felt a little displeased."It's none of my business whether you have women or not, but I'm a neat freak. Stay away from me if you touch other women. Don't make me dirty." She turned her head angrily and looked away from him. Thinking of the image that he made out with Leila, she was filled with anger and wanted to give him a punch.There was a sparkle in his dark eyes. He reached out and held her in his arms."What are you doing? Everyone is watching us. " Hazel felt ashamed and annoyed and wanted to push him away in a hurry. But she couldn't get rid of him because of his strong arms. "Everyone knows that you are my wife. Even if I have you now, nobody dares to say no.""Your ex-wife." F
