Jack sat in the car, holding a cigarette and staring out the window at the night sky, lost in thought.
After a while, he turned his head and glanced at the gift box on the passenger seat, his thin lips pursed into a line. Starting the car, he left the Aiden family mansion. There weren't many cars on the road at night.He now lived In the platinum mansion, which was not far from the company. Turning right ahead was the road to platinum mansion, but he frowned and drove straight to Rose villa. "Sir, you're back? The maid was surprised to see Jack returning. Holding the gift box, Jack glanced at the direction of the living room. "Where is she?" "Madam? she hasn't come back yet." she replied. "I called her and she said she had work to do overtime. I left her some food, so she can eat when she gets back." Jack frowned slightly, nodded to show he understood, and then went to the living room with the gift box. Was that woman , Hazel still at the company? He didn't ask her to do to much today, just clean the three floors. It took her so long? Ha, she really was a good girl! Although he thought so, he didn't show any expression on his face. He sat in the living room, bored, and watched the news channel. The male owner of the house rarely came back, and he wasn't leaving now, nor was he going upstairs to rest. The maid didn't dare to go back to her room either. When it was past ten O'clock, Jack got up and left. "Sir," the maid hurriedly followed him out. "Are you..going to pick up madam?" Jack raised an eyebrow and didn't answer, just looked at the hesitant maid. 'Um..." the maid smiled awkwardly, "Sir, why don't you go pick up madam?She didn't drive to work today or back home. It's late now, and she's a girl. It's not safe." At Global. The lights in the company were only on in the corridors and stair wells, not particularly bright. She was now hungry and tired, and of course, angry. Finally, she had finished cleaning up to the third floor, but there was not enough cleaning solution left. She sighed and had to go to the cleaning department to get something. If Jack wanted to make fun of her, she wouldn't let him. Fortunately, she had some dry food in her drawer, which could relieve her hunger later. The people in the cleaning department had all left, and it was pitch black inside. She reached out to push the door, but a female voice suddenly came from inside---- "Again?" Hazel frowned. It sounded like Gloria. Although she had only been in the cleaning department for two days, she had a general idea of the people inside. Gloria looked okay, but she always had a high and mighty attitude, as if she didn't care about anyone. But now, her voice clearly had a hint of coquetry and flattery. "It's already the second time." Donald? And Gloria? Even Hazel,who was not very smart, understood what those two were doing inside. It seemed that they had just finished. No wonder Gloria usually acted like that. It turned out that she had found Donald as her backer. "How many days has it been since you last came to my place?" Gloria was not happy. " And now there's no one here." "Don't be silly. Don't forget, Hazel is still cleaning. What if she suddenly comes back?" "Are you afraid of her?" Am I afraid of her? Donald snorted discontentedly. "Of course, you're not afraid of her. Do you think I can't see that you like her? I saw it in your office today. Your eyes were different when you looked at her!" "What are you talking about?" Hazel tightly pursed her lips, listening to the voices coming from inside, feeling nauseous. Now, she didn't want to go in anymore, afraid that seeing the two people inside would make her want to vomit. When she turned around, she accidentally bumped into the door panel. Although the sound was not loud, it instantly alerted the people inside who shouted, "Who?!" Hazel was startled and turned around to run, but suddenly bumped into someone's arms. Her heart panicked, and she was about to scream out of reflex, but her mouth was covered by someone's hand..... **** Hazel was taken to a relatively safe corner by someone. When she saw the person in front of her, she was surprised and a little happy, "Brother Andrew?" Andrew smiled gently, his eyes curved, "Hazel, I'm back." He then said, "Today, I went to your house." Andrew was a gentleman, his manner and behavior were very polite, this kind of person who would make person feel at ease at first glance. Most importantly, although he had not known her for long, he was very good to her. Hazel pursed her lips and changed the subject, "How did you get in?" Global had an employee card, and if you were not an employee, you had to be led in by someone. "Don't worry about that." Hazel nodded, "You've been away for a long time this time." "Yeah," Andrew replied, and the smile on his face faded a lot. He looked at her with regret and self-blame, "Everything has changed when I come back. If I had known that you would marry someone else when I left, Hazel, I wouldn't have gone. Hazel shook her head, "You had your own things to do, and ...." "Is he treating her well?" Andrew asked directly. Hazel was silent for a moment, the smiled and said, "Well." "Well?" Andrew suddenly became angry. He pointed to her work clothes and said, "Is this what you deserve?Is cleaning what you should be doing?That bastard Jack is really too much!" It was the first time she had seen him so angry, but she couldn't say anything , only silence. Marriage was her own choice, so what complaints could she have now? "Hazel," Andrew grabbed her, "Come with me!" Hazel smiled bitterly and shook her head, "No." "Hazel?" Andrew widened his eyes. "Jack doesn't love you! He's still torturing you like this, why don't you leave? I went to your house and I know what happened to you these days. Seeing you like this, do you know how much it hurts me?" He suddenly hugged her tightly and said with heartache, "For so many years, you should understand my feelings. I love you, and I can't bear to see you suffer even a little a bit, do you understand?" His heart was beating very fast. Hazel leaned on his chest, and if she said she wasn't moved at all, it would be a lie. Andrew had always been good to her, but had never crossed the line. He had always been like an elder brother taking care of her. But today, he...confessed his love to her. However, she was moved but didn't feel the same way. Despite this, tears streamed down her face. Was it because she felt wronged. Suddenly, she pushed him away and choked out, "You should go back. I haven't finished my work yet." "Hazel!" "Hmmm." Hazel wiped away her tears. "I am Hazel, but now ..... I am also Mrs. Jack Aiden."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
