Hazel was sitting in the living room, because Paul had gone to answer the phone, and she only had to face Anita at this moment, but she felt a if she was sitting on pins and needles.

Because she had no scruples, Anita said what she wanted to say, “Hazel, because your mother and I have known each other for a long time, so I treat you as my own child. Although our two families have separated a lot. But after all, you can be regarded as the one I watched growing up, and Jack, you also call him brother, how can you do such a thing?”

Hazel clenched her fist, “Mom...”

“Privately, I still like to hear you call me ‘auntie’.”

It was a simple sentence, but it was like a merciless slap, and it’s slapped her hard on the face.

Hazel face turned pale, and nodded with a wry smile: “Yes.” She took a deep breath, “Auntie, I can understand your mood, but I don’t know what’s going on.”

“Do you think I’ll believe you if you say that?” Anita frowned, “If it wasn’t for you, Ashley would have married Jack. Even if Grandpa didn’t allow them to be together, even if it wasn’t Ashley, at least Jack wouldn’t have to deal with a marriage with like this. He is the proud son of haven, and it is simply too much for your Brook family to do this!”

Sure enough, everyone didn’t believe her! Including the opposite Anita who used to be nice to her. She, Jack, even Rita and Rachael felt that she climbed into Jack’s bed shamelessly....

Ah! Some of them blamed her, some laughed at her, and some looked down on her. Her little dignity and face were almost wiped away by these different eyes.

What did she, Hazel. do wrong? Of she could choose, she would not want to wake up in the bed of a man who has no feelings for her without knowing why!

In that case, at least she won’t be so embarrassed.

Hazel suppressed the unwillingness and anger in her heart and said to Anita seemingly calmly: “Auntie, I know you won’t believe it, even I can’t believe it myself. I also know that you are dissatisfied with me, but if I can choose, I don;t want to have such a marriage. You are my elder, and you are also a woman. Which woman is willing to marry a man who doesn’t love her at all? So, even if you are dissatisfied with me, please bear with me for a while.”

After a year, everyone will be better off.

“Hazel!” Anita voice suddenly rose, and her well- maintained face was full of anger, “You took advantage of our Aiden family and felt wronged yourself?!”

“That was not what I meant.”

“Then what do you mean? You’re talking about it. Where did you feel wronged? Our Jack married a woman he didn’t love. Isn’t he wronged?”

Just at this moment, a black mobile phone on the coffee table vibrated. It was Jack’s mobile phone, and she turned it on silent.

Hazel didn’t want to say anything more to Anita, after all, it wouldn’t help.

She smiled, “It’s Jack’s phone, I’ll get it to him.”

Grandpa study is on the second floor.

Hazel knew about it because she visited this house when she was a child. But when she went upstairs, the door of the study was still closed, which meant that Grandpa and Jack were still talking.

Looking at the caller ID, which was the second call, she thought for a while, and was about to knock on the door when a voice suddenly sounded

------

“Are you eavesdropping?”

Hazel turned her head to look, and saw that it was Richard who had gone upstairs earlier. This child is the son of Jack’s sister. She had seen it before, but that was three years ago.

“No.” Hazel shook her head.

Richard curled his lips, “Then what are you doing standing here?” As he spoke, he glanced at the phone in Hazel’s hand again, frowned, and then tickled his chubby fingers at her, “come with me.”

“What?”

Richard did not return the limelight, but the child was extremely imposing, “You just come with me!”

Jack’s eldest sister died of dystocia that year, and it is said that her husband also became a monk out of grief. Because of her mother, she felt pity for him, and she didn’t know if knocking on the door rashly would disturb Grandpa and Jack, so Hazel hesitated before following.

Richard went straight into Jack’s old room in the house, climbed onto a single sofa inside and sat down, and at the same time did not forget to ask Hazel to sit down.

Hazel looked at the child sitting on the sofa with his leg crossed, and somehow wanted to laugh, “What did you ask me to do?” And this was Jack’s room.

Jack had some cleanliness and she had always known it.

“Are you really the scheming woman they say?”

“...” Hazel frowned slightly. She had heard such words many times, and Anita also meant the same thing just now. Now ,even a five or six-years-old child is asking her the same question.

When facing Anita, she might feel angry, but now, facing a child pretending to be a mature young man, she is not angry. she just feels a little helpless and can’t laugh or cry.

Richard blinked his eyes a few times, and rested his chin with his hands, “I heard my grandma say it, and I didn’t listen on purpose.”

Hazel sighed, “No.” She could have chosen not to answer, but she didn’t know what was going on, but she was able to patiently answer a question she was already tired of, and the object was a child.

“Oh-----” Richard nodded, as he breathed a sign of relief, “Let me just say, you are so good looking, you shouldn’t be bad.”

“If you can tell whether a person is good or bad just by appearance, it’s too arbitrary.” Although Hazel said this, she felt very warm in her heart. Everyone doesn’t believe her, it’s just that such an older child chooses to believe her.

Richard frowned, “Hey! Are you looking down on me?”

“No,” Hazel shook her head, stretched out her hand and gently pinched his little face, “Thank you very much anyway,” she thought for a while and added, ” You are the only one who believes me, I am very happy.”

Richard was stunned for a moment, then curled up the corners of his lips in satisfaction, then felt that something was wrong, pursed his lips to restrain the upward curve of the corner of his lips, and still gave Hazel a reproachful look, as if to blame her for those words that made him so proud and happy.

Hazel smiled,“Have you finished your questions? If you finish asking, shall we go out first? Your uncle has a cleanliness freak, and he might get angry.”

“Are you afraid of my uncle?”

“Its’s not that I”m afraid, It’s just that we don’T need to create unnecessary unhappiness.”

Richard snorted, “Then you are still afraid? That Ashley is not afraid of my uncle, I even saw her kiss my uncle’s face. You are my uncle’s wife, yet you dare not even enter my uncle’s room, you are so timid!”

Hazel was taken aback for a moment, and said helplessly, “I said, I”m not afraid of him.”

“Then do you like my uncle?”
