[XXXVIII]
Hazel nodded aimlessly as if she was in deep thought.
Zac furrowed his brows and asked, "Can he compete with me?""Well, he was the champion of our university's street dance competition, so you know, he's a dance king," Hazel affirmed in a mocking tone. Still dancing and swaying, she turned her back on Zac.'Where's he getting this much confidence? How narcissistic!' she sniffed at him.A hint of disgust was written on his face. 'Champion at your university? I was the top dancer back in Harvard—a champion in the US!' "From now on, I'll be your only partner." He asserted in an intimidating tone as if trying to express his ownership over Hazel."Why? I'm not your only partner anyway…" Her bright eyes suddenly turned gloomy when she realized what she had said. She knew his real companion was Leila—the one person he would dance and watch movies with, along with all kinds of things a couple would do together. 'Leila is the only one in your heaRelated chapters

It was late at night. The big trees outside the window faded into dim shadows in the moonlight.Zac had come home earlier than usual.Instead of turning on the lights, he simply stood in front of the window without saying a word.The windows were wide open. It was not only moonlight that burst into the living room, but also a chilly gust of wind."Zac, you're home," Hazel said in a low voice.Zac didn't respond to her words, nor did he move. It seemed as if he didn't hear her words at all. The curtains fluttered in thewind, making Zac's tall body look like a dark silhouette.Hazel slowly approached Zac. It was not until she smelled a light whisky scent coming from him that she noticed the glass of whisky in his hand.'He's drinking alcohol?' Hazel thought to herself.Thinking of how she saw Leila having dinner all alone in the restaurant in the afternoon, Hazel guessed that they might have quarreled wi

On the first day that he was gone, Hazel decided that as long as he came back, she would cook his favorite dish, carrot stewed with yellow beef, for him.The day after that, she told herself that she wouldn't get angry if he laughed at her or teased her.On the third day, she could only sigh deeply in depression. She swore to herself that if he was ever unhappy in the future, she would be willing to be his punching bag and trash bin so he could vent out his grievances.However, three whole days had already passed, but Zac still hadn't shown up.The days without him were boring.She ate, watched TV, and went shopping alone. It was as if she was the only one left in the world.Time ticked by unbearably slowly.Every day seemed like an entire century.Hazel leaned against the sofa in a trance. She couldn't even get excited at new orders.'Where did he go?Has his hand recovered? Is he still angry?

"Of course. There's even a saying that says 'It takes a decade to stay in a ship together, and a century to..." She stopped her babbling just right before she said the words "to share a bed together" when she saw the look of gloom and disdain in Leila's eyes. The last second, she twisted her tongue and said, "To share a house," instead. She wanted to talk about the fate of their friendship, but the topic was clogged in her throat.It would have been dangerous to talk of such things, and would probably start a fierce cat fight between her and Leila.Zac had a blank expression throughout the event, but when he heard this, a subtle smile appeared on his face. The thought of him still being the only man who had been in the same bed as her, relieved a lot of the sadness he had been feeling the whole week.When he realized he was slipping and acting strange, he quickly restrained his mouth and acted somewhat annoyed. There was a certain perplexity in that situat

When Hazel heard this, she was left wide eyes and stunned. Before she could turn her head to see who spoke, Zac had already held her in his arms. He cast a cold glance at the three people in front of him. With eyes as sharp as a sword, it seemed like a single look from him could break them to pieces.His powerful aura was like an erupting volcano, frightening everyone within a mile from him. Vulnerable from all the insults, Hazel instinctively buried her head into his arms, as she had just found her savior. Her mind was completely blank, and there was nothing else she wanted to do but hide in his arms quietly.The moment Sunny saw Zac's face, she immediately hid behind Hanson, like a shivering mouse.After rounds of violent convulsion, Hanson could not take another second of it. All he longed for was to run to Hazel and take her back. If only they knew how much he hated himself for losing her.Florey was left stunned for a moment, and could not sp

There was a giant three-layer cake on the table. The bright candlelight swayed in the wind, like the stars shining in the night sky."Happy birthday," a gentle voice said from behind.Today was her birthday? Shocked, Hazel looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was June 12th.'Oh my God! It really was my birthday,' thought she. She even forgot it herself, and she didn't expect that he would remember it!"Ice guy, how did you know that today is my birthday?" She turned around and looked at him. His cold face was tinted with the same color as the candlelight, making it look very warm. The smile on his face was as charming as sunshine. It made ripples in her heart."It is written on our marriage certificate," he said. Then he held her by the shoulder and took her to the table. "Make a wish!"She nodded, put her hands together, and closed her eyes.What was her wish?Over the past five years, she had made th

Early in the morning, Hazel got up and packed her backpack.Zac leaned against the door frame and looked at her with a confused look on his face. "Where are you going?""Mandy and I are going to go to the coastline. We will camp out on the island tonight. I won't be coming home, so remember to lock the door.""Do you have everything with you?" Zac said, raising his eyebrows."Well, water jug, tent, compass... All done," Hazel said, telling him the list of stuff in her backpack."You must bring the cellphone with you. If I call you, you must answer it within five seconds," he ordered in a very dictator-like manner."What if I don't hear the phone ringing?" Hazel rolled her eyes at him."Vibration." He flicked her forehead. She was obviously a new hiker without any experience, so he was a little worried and he had to watch the whole process of the surveillance. "Remember, safety is the most important thing. If you can't ho

The storm grew increasingly fierce and showed no signs of abating.Most of the coconut trees on the beach were uprooted. It looked like the end of the world was approaching. The terrible weather affected the air inside the cave.Zac groaned, a tinge of pain flashing across his eyes.Hazel anxiously watched his movements.Although she kicked with no great strength, Zac himself was at the most vulnerable state that a man could be in, even someone who was extremely heroic and strong as he was.Taking a deep breath and letting go of her, Zac sat up and said, "Honey, don't do that again, or you won't be happy in the future."Her face contorted in a slight frown. "If it ceases to function, you're going to use your brain, for sure, and you will never be fickle in love."His face took on a bitter, aggrieved smile. "Evidently, it recognizes only you. How could I be fickle?"Zac sounded like an affronted virgin. But in Ha

On the way back, Hazel's excitement faded. She felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat.Mandy told her that she had both good and bad news, but in Hazel's mind, she didn't hear any good news at all.'Oh my gosh. No, no, no. I'm so doomed!' Hazel realized she was holding her breath and found herself holding her face in frustration.She continued to have a monologue in her thoughts. 'Why did Hanson have to be one of the judges in this show? Why would I have to see him this way?And why does Sunny even have to be in the same competition as me?Her family is already so wealthy. She doesn't need this, so why did she have to join? Ugh, it's not going to be a competition anymore. It's decided, right? I guess this will be like a walk in the park for her.Hanson will obviously favor Sunny and give her the best scores while I'll try so hard and it might not even matter!' Hazel let out a heavy sigh. She felt exasperated at the though
