LOGINHazel drank too much last night and although she slept through the night, she didn't sleep well. She had been running around outside for most of the day today, so after washing up with Leo, she lay down in bed and fell asleep quickly.Vaguely, she seemed to hear the doorbell ringing.Hazel ignored it, thinking it was just her imagination.The doorbell kept ringing, one after another.Hazel frowned and opened her eyes, listening carefully for a while, confirming that it was indeed her doorbell ringing.Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was already half past midnight. At this time... who would come?Although she thought so, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.She hesitated for a moment, but still chose to get up.Walking to the door, she didn't open it immedia
Phoebe forced a smile. "It's a good thing that Mr. Jack is willing to take care of Bella. It's just that... Bella is still young and sick. If she suddenly goes to a strange environment, she may not adapt well.""Miss Phoebe is worried?"Phoebe lowered her eyes slightly. "...Yes.""What are you worried about, Miss Phobe?" Jack raised an eyebrow, with a faint smile on his face, making him seem approachable."I... I'm just afraid that Bella won't adapt." She smiled. "And she's been very sick lately. I don't want to leave her."Jack narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze deepening.After a moment, he smiled again, his smile light. "So, Miss Phoebe, are you thinking that I will bring you and Bella back to the Aiden family to live together? Can I understand it this way?"Phoebe's heart tightene
Jack lifted one corner of his lips. "No need to trouble yourself. I don't like to trouble others."Phoebe's expression froze for a moment, and the hopeful and eager look on her face became somewhat stiff. She quickly smiled again, but the smile didn't look very natural. "Mr. Jack, you're being too polite. It's really not a bother." She pursed her lips, her face turning slightly red. "I'm pretty good at cooking. I've been practicing for years.If Mr. Jack doesn't mind, I can..."Before Phoebe could finish her sentence, Jack spoke indifferently, "Miss Phoebe, I didn't come here to eat."Phoebe could easily sense the impatience in his words."Is Mr. Jack here to see Bella?" She quickly changed the subject."No, I have something to ask you." Jack glanced at Phoebe, who was still standing next to Bella, and then pointed to the sofa next to her. "Sit."Jack crossed his left leg over his right, leaning back against the sofa. He looked extremely relaxed and lazy, but his expression was not."
Hazel sat in the living room for a while, looking a bit down. She had too many things on her mind. Leo sat beside her and asked, "Mommy, what are you thinking about?""Nothing.""That person just now, does she often make you unhappy?""Not really.""Liar!" Leo snorted, clearly not believing her. He had only been back in the country for a few days, but he had already seen that old lady three times. Every time she was mean to Hazel and made her unhappy.Hazel pursed her lips. "Actually...she used to be very nice to me. Back then, when your grandmother was still alive, she and your grandmother were good friends and she would buy things for me. But then, something happened and she had some opinions about me, so...""I understand." Leo nodded. "But is it really that hard to understand what happened?""Not really." Hazel thought for a moment. "I explained it to her, but she didn't listen." Anita even felt that she was being evasive.She had to admit that she was impressed by Anita's attitude
Hazel! Wait a minute!" Upon hearing this, Hazel tightened her grip on Leo's hand uncontrollably. Leo looked up at her and Hazel forced a smile, "Do you want to see your grandmother?" Leo thought for a moment and finally shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to. He hadn't even met the big villain yet, and this old lady who should be called grandmother... He had seen her a few times, and she always made Hazel unhappy.He had just stood not far from the pavilion and heard her words. He wouldn't like someone who made his Mommy unhappy, even if that person was his grandmother. Hazel nodded, "I understand." After speaking, she pulled Leo and continued walking forward. To be honest, she didn't really want Anita to see Leo now. Even if there were no changes in the situation and even if Phoebe and Bella hadn't appeared, based on Anita's attitude towards her and what she said in the pavilion just now, she wouldn't want Anita to receive such a big surprise after scolding her.Anita qui
After dinner, Hazel threw the lunch box into the trash can. She wiped the table and said to Leo, "Leo, Mommy is going downstairs to throw the trash. You stay at home, okay?""Do you want me to go with you?""No need," Hazel refused, "I'll be back soon." It's cold outside, why take the child with her just to throw the trash?"Okay."There was a trash can not far from the building.Hazel took the elevator downstairs, threw the three garbage bags into the trash can, and turned to walk towards the building."Hazel!"When Hazel heard the voice, she was entering the password and her fingers trembled.She frowned before turning around.Hazel didn't speak first when she saw the person, her eyes involuntarily became cold, and she felt annoyed. strong command, which made Hazel even more repulsed."Sorry, I'm busy now." Leo was still at home, and she didn't bring her phone. If she came back late, Leo would worry. Most importantly, she didn't want to talk to Anita about anything. Every time they
"There's a situation on our end," said Peter.Jack remained calm. "Please explain.""Just now, the entire company experienced a power outage."Jack let out a slow breath. "Is that all?" If Peter were in front of him, he would have wanted to give him a good scolding. But this wasn't the place for th
Richard stood by the door, cautiously peeking inside before walking in quietly. Hearing his soft footsteps, Hazel turned her head and saw Richard. She was slightly stunned and asked, "Richard?"Richard smiled and squinted his eyes, "Beauty.""How did you come here?" It was still early in the mornin
When Hazel woke up, it wasn't even seven o'clock yet.Last night...she had shared a bed with Jack again...Although they didn't do anything, and he was well-intentioned, it still made her feel uncomfortable. And he had held her all night?Initially, she had wanted to refuse, but he said he was afra
"Jack, still not sleeping?" Nick's cheerful voice came through the phone."Why are you calling?" Jack added, "Don't ask me to drink, I'm busy!" The only reason he could think of for Nick to call him at this time was to ask him out for a drink."You're overthinking it! Do I not have enough alcohol t
