After getting off the elevator, Jack walked ahead with tightly pursed lips and a black face, completely ignoring the woman behind who was struggling to keep up.
"Jack!" Hazel was being pulled along by Jack, and if weren't for him, she would have fallen to the ground long ago. But even now, she wasn't feeling much better. She was wearing high heels, which made walking difficult, and her dress was tight-fitting. However, Jack's steps were large, and she couldn't keep up with him even when she was running. Just now in the stairwell, she had chosen to walk up to him. Even though she knew he didn't love her, and that he only wanted her to come over because of his male pride, she still went over. After she got there, he didn't say anything, he just sneered at Andrew and dragged her out. He squeezed her wrist so hard that it hurt, and her head was getting dizzy. "Stop! Jack, let go!" Jack not only didn't let go, but he even walked faster. When they got to the hotel entrance, the doorman respectfully called out "Mr. Jack", and then curiously glanced at the disheveled Hazel before handing Jack the car keys. Jack took them and unlocked the car, then rudely pushed Hazel into the passenger seat with a loud bang before closing the door and getting into the driver's seat. He didn't even bother to fasten his seat belt before driving off. He drove very fast, not even slowing down when he turned corners. Hazel felt extremely uncomfortable, and even when she shouted"Slow down" twice, he didn't listen, so she stopped shouting. With a "Squeak", Jack suddenly packed the car on the side of the road. Hazel's eyelashes trembled, feeling as if the air in the car had dropped significantly. "Aren't you going to say something,Hazel?" His cold voice was laced with restrained anger. Hazel pursed her lips and didn't look at him. "I have nothing to say." Even if she explained why she and Andrew was there, he wouldn't believe her. And what was most troublesome was why he suddenly appeared when Andrew was holding her? "Is that your answer to me?" Jack squinted his eyes, a smile that was not quite a smile on his lips, but his eyes were very cold. "Hazel, do you think I'm a fool?" "I didn't" "What?!" He suddenly raised his voice, his anger too obvious. "Didn't I warn you twice? Hazel, I could overlook your secret meeting with him yesterday evening. But what about today? What do you have to say?" "You rejected the gift I gave you, then turned around and flirted with your old lover right under my nose!" Hazel rubbed her throbbing forehead and patiently said in a soft voice, "Jack, whether you believe it or not, anyway, me and Andrew are not what you think. I haven't forgotten your warnings, and our meeting today was not deliberate." She didn't want to argue with him now. She felt very uncomfortable all over and just wanted to sleep well. Jack was almost laughing with anger. "You left, and he followed right after you, even finding such a secluded place to be together. What would you have done if I had arrived a little later? And now you say it's not what I think! Hazel, do you think I'm dead?" This woman had meet with Andrew twice in just two days, and even hugged him both times! If he hadn't happened to see her leaving, he wouldn't even know what she was doing with Andrew. Suddenly, he remembered her embarrassed and hesitant appearance when they were at the hotel that night, and his throat tightened. He looked at her with an even colder gaze. If he hadn't gone, would she be lying under Andrew now, looking pitiful and helpless? The though of that scene made his anger uncontrollable, and the words that came out of his mouth were even more vicious. "Hazel, are that cheap? Can't you live without a man?" Hazel's heart sank. She blinked and looked at him in disbelief for several seconds. "What did you say?" Jack snorted coldly, "Didn't you hear me? I said, you..are cheap!" "Jack!" Hazel was also angry and without thinking, she raised her hand and slapped him. "Smack!" A loud sound echoed in the car, startling Hazel. She looked at Jack, who had slightly tilted his head, and was still a little confused. The tingling pain in her palm reminded her clearly that she had just hit him. Jack was stunned for several seconds before he came back to his senses. He used his hand to touch the half of his face that was hit, sneered, and then turned his head to look at Hazel. "Haz...el!" He shouted each word, and Hazel shrank her neck and trembled all over. "No one has ever dared to hit me," He stared at her wickedly, "you are the first." "Good!" "I.." Hazel swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at his dark face that seemed to be dripping water and couldn't help but lean towards the car door, "I didn't mean it..." Jacked hooked his lips, slowly spit out two words, "Too late." After speaking, he grabbed her wrist and threw her onto the back seat. Hazel's back hurt, after being thrown like that, her head became even more dizzy. Before she could react completely, her body sank, and he had already collapsed over the center console and turned over onto her body... "Jack.." Hazel trembled uncontrollably, her head was not clear, looking at the man in front of her who was smiling wickedly and indifferently, she inexplicably felt anxious, "What are you doing?" She had drunk alcohol, and he could clearly smell the alcohol mixed with a hint of sweetness when she spoke. He didn't feel disgusted, but instead, he felt a heat rising in a certain part of his body, and his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably a few times. Now, she was under him, her lips trembling, her big apricot eyes clear and moist, but now filled with panic and fear. Her appearance really resembled that of a panicked little deer, making people want to....swallow her. In fact,he really did that. Her mouth, usually filled with lies and words he didn't want to hear, he wanted to see if it was also dark and bitter. But when he finally tasted it, he realized it was damn sweet and delicious, making him crave for more. Hazel was stunned for several seconds before her muddled brain conveyed a message to her- Jack had kissed her. but it wasn't a lover's kiss, it was his punishment for her. She didn't want this kind of kiss! She struggled violently, shaking her head wildly, "Jack......stop! Get off me...." Jack's breathing was erratic and his black eyes were as deep as the sea, with an impending storm brewing within. He looked at the woman beneath him, and with a wicked smile, he said, "Hazel, it's to late to say no now." With that he forcefully tugged at her skirt hem.Unconsciously, an hour had passed.Hazel glanced at the time and couldn't help but smile wryly.Leo had never liked listening to stories or nursery rhymes since he was a child. Instead, he always pestered her to tell him interesting anecdotes from different countries. Today was no exception, as he wanted her to share all the fun things that had happened during her time back in her home country.She chose to only share the good things, keeping the unhappy ones to herself."Is Richard treating you well?" Leo asked, feeling a little curious and jealous that there was another slightly older kid keeping Hazel company while he was away."Um," Hazel nodded, "when I was there, he was like a friend to me, and also like family." Leo lowered his gaze, wanting to ask if Hazel loved him more or Richard more, but he was too proud to voice such a question.However, not asking made him feel like he was being clawed at by a cat.After thinking for a moment, he asked in a roundabout way, "Do you treat
Upon hearing the word "mommy," Hazel's eyes immediately welled up with tears. Leo was not very talkative, only speaking a little more when he was with her. Compared to children his age, he was not as lively and active, and rarely called her "mommy." The most he called her was "Hazel," like a friend calling her by her name.Seeing Hazel's eyes turn red, Leo became a little nervous. "I really know I was wrong. I won't fight with them next time. Don't be angry, okay?" Even if he knew that Hazel would come back to see him after he was injured, he wouldn't fight anymore."Well, I'm not angry." Hazel squatted down and looked him in the eye. "I just... don't like you to do it this way. You were hurt, and I would be very worried and anxious. Because I'm not by your side, I can't come to see you right away."Yesterday, on the way back here, she was anxious and uneasy, and also self-blaming. Because of the incident in City A, she delayed her return. Although she could contact him by phone, it w
After taking a shower, Jack felt much better in spirit and energy. The place was far from the city, with plenty of greenery around and a river in front of the guesthouse. The air was fresh and clean. The river was decorated with small colorful lights, making it even more beautiful at night."Knock, knock, knock." Jack heard a knocking sound and went to open the door. He raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Nick standing outside with a bottle of red wine. Nick walked in without any hesitation and said, "I came to drink with you."Jack closed the door and followed him. "What about Angel? Don't you need to keep her company?""Don't change the subject!" Nick sat on the sofa and skillfully opened the bottle with a corkscrew. "I wanted to, but she didn't give me a chance!"Jack chuckled and sat on a nearby chair. Nick had divorced Angel but he still loved her but she had refused to reconcile with him.Nick poured the wine into the glasses and said, "I didn't bring a decanter, so let's ju
"Nonsense!" Grandpa roared angrily when he heard Anita say that he wanted Ashley to live at home.Richard looked at Anita puzzled, wondering why grandma let Ashley, whom he disliked so much, live here."I'm not fooling around." Anita's tone was respectful, but he didn't back down like in the past. He said seriously, "Dad, Ashley is pregnant."Grandpa opened his mouth to reprimand him, but after he was a little slow to realize what Anita said just now, he was taken aback for a moment, and thick suspicion flashed through his eyes that were slightly cloudy due to his age.After a while, he finally said, "What did you just... say?"Anita held Ashley's hand, "Ashley is pregnant, and it belongs to Jack."Grandpa's breathing sank. Even though he had seen many great things in his life, he still couldn't help but feel calm, "When did it happen?"Richard also looked at Ashley fixedly, his little brows wrinkled into a ball. Although he is still young, he has already understood many things. Is As
When Hazel arrived in Australia, it was already three o'clock in the morning local time. She hurriedly got off the plane and quickly walked outside. Since she didn't bring any luggage, she arrived at the airport and hailed a taxi in no time.she leaned back in her seat and looked out the window at the night scenery, urging the driver to go faster from time to time. During the more than ten hours on the plane, she hardly closed her eyes and was full of worries and eagerness. Now that she has finally arrived in this city, she can't wait to get to the house that is full of many beautiful memories."Can you go faster? Thank you," she asked."It's already fast. If I go any faster, I'll be speeding," the driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "Are you in a hurry to see your boyfriend?"Hazel smiled lightly, "No.""Then why are you in such a hurry? Is this your first time here?" The driver was talkative."No.""Really?" The driver nodded."Well, I lived here for a while.""The en
"My God!" When he found out that Jack wasn't joking with him, Noah felt that the situation was too absurd. "Isn't this too bizarre?""No," Noah still found it unbelievable. "Isn't your accuracy rate too high? You only did it once, and it was your first time. With just that one time, you made someone pregnant?"Jack let out a sigh, but couldn't say anything. Because everything Noah said was true, he really was..."What are you going to do now?" Noah sighed. "When you came to me that day, I analyzed it for you. No matter how you choose, it's not good. At that time, Ashley was not pregnant yet. But now she has something in her belly. If you don't be with her, it doesn't seem right?"Seeing Jack leaning on the sofa with closed eyes, Noah also felt that this matter was difficult to handle. "But if that's the case, then you and Hazel will have to divorce, right? Don't you like Hazel? Are you willing to let go?"Jack didn't open his eyes, but his thin lips pursed into a straight line.After
