"What is this? Hazel was a little confused.
Jack said he had something good for her, but it turned out to be a bunch of cucumbers and eggplants? Jack pushed the things on the table forward and a charming smile appeared on his lips, "What are you standing there for? Come and take it." Hazel frowned. Although he was still smiling, she had a bad feeling. "Why are you giving me these? To cook? But he doesn't come home for meals, and even if he does, the maid will buy groceries and cook. He's a big CEO, but he brings a bag of vegetables to the company? Moreover, she remembers that he doesn't like to eat these vegetables. Seeing her standing still, he became a little annoyed. "I told you to come over, can't you hear me?" Hazel pursed her lips and walked over, standing straight in front of the desk. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Are you asking me to cook?" Jack immediately smiled again and shook his head, "I said it's for you." Looking at the teasing and mocking smile on Jack's face, Hazel instantly understood. Hazel's breath stagnated, and she stared at the man across the desk in disbelief. He looked like a gentleman, as if he really cared about her, but his words made her unable to help but bite her lip. Embarrassment and anger made her tremble all over. His appearance seemed to please him. "No need to thank me, right? We're not strangers?" He glanced at the large bag of things on the table, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. "It doesn't matter. When you use it up, you can tell me. Or, I'll make you come up here every day get it?" "Jack!" Hazel couldn't take it anymore, her face turned white, and she shouted uncontrollably, "You're too much!" She thought she was strong enough in her heart, as long as Jack didn't target Brook, she felt that she could handle everything. But now, she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were. Jack was not angry, but laughed instead. He stood up, raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman who was trembling with anger. "Too much?" Can't take it anymore? I thought you would thank me, after all I am considering you." Hazel was furious and grabbed the cucumber and eggplants on the table and threw them at Jack without hesitation. "You bastard!" Jack was caught off guard and was hit twice. One of them even hit his face, and he was also angry. He rushed to Hazel, grabbed her hand, and spoke fiercely, "Are you crazy?" "Yes! I am crazy! It all because of you!" She struggled a few times but gave up. "Jack, you are insulting me too much!" "You think this is insulting?" Jack snorted coldly, "I thought you had strong psychological qualities when you did those things. But just because I didn't let you meet with Andrew, you couldn't take it? Don't forget, it was because of you that Ashley was injured and left alone in a foreign country without anyone to take care of her. What are you compared to that?" "So you're torturing and insulting me in every way possible? You made me work in the cleaning department and gave me a lot of work that I couldn't finish. Now you're using these things to disgust me? Jack aren't you too despicable?" Jack almost laughed out loud from anger. "Am I despicable? If you feel wronged, go tell Grandpa. Aren't you naturally good at acting? Maybe if you cry a little, Grandpa can help you vent your anger?" Hazel smiled coldly. "I would like to, but will you spare Brook?" "Of course not." He said without even thinking. Hazel was helpless. Since it was like this, what else was there to say? Anyway, she was the person he hated. He let go of her and wiped his hands with a tissue. Hazel bit her lip tightly, feeling bitter in her heart. He even found her dirty to touch. If she continued to stay in the same place as Jack, she would definitely not be able to resist cursing at him. She turned around to leave without even looking at him. "Stop!" Jack's tone was unfriendly as he raised his chin slightly towards the desk. "Take your things with you!" Hazel instantly understood what he meant. She paused for a moment. "No need." She smiled and turned around. "Since you bought it, don't waste it. Ashley is still alone overseas, right?" "Hazel!"Jack's face turned black instantly. Hazel smiled indifferently, feeling a bit desolate in her heart. She had just said a few words and he changed his expression immediately, so...the difference between love and not to love was really huge. Jack really wanted to strangle that damn woman and see what she looked like now and what she said. Indeed, things had changed, and she was no longer the Hazel of the past. He suppressed his anger. "Is that so? Then remember what I said. If I see you and Andrew getting too close, you're done for." He glared at her with a fierce tone. Back in the cleaning department, Hazel still couldn't calm down. She put away her tools and went to the restroom. When she came out, she saw Gloria and another colleague coming in together, making her even feel more irritable. "Oh, back from the CEO's office." Gloria sneered with a strange tone, looking at Hazel with mockery in her eyes. Hazel frowned and ignored her, turning on the faucet to wash her hand. Gloria felt even more unhappy when she was ignored, and coupled with what happened yesterday, she disliked Hazel even more. "Went to clean the CEO's floor yesterday, and today someone was named to go again..." She dragged her tone "Look at her, she came back without crying or being wronged." Hazel frowned but ignored her. "Hazel, why aren't you saying anything? Did you offend the CEO? Do you have any special methods? We're all in the same department, why don't you share some experience with us?" Gloria said the words "Special methods", she deliberately emphasized her tone. Her colleague Mary felt it was not appropriate and pulled Gloria's arm. "Don't pull me, does she dare to do it and not admit it?' Gloria looked at Hazel contemptuously. "Some people, just because they have some looks, can't tell who they are anymore. They see who's fragrant and want to pounce on them, what kind of character is that!" Hazel took a deep breath, turned of the faucet, and turned around to smile at Gloria.. She had a decent smile on her face, making her eyes too sharp, making Gloria startled. "You. Hazel, what do you want to do?"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
