Se connecterJack 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
Anna and Angel left after having lunch. After the meal, Hazel didn't go to clean up the dishes, but sat beside Leo, watching him tinker on the computer. She rarely saw Leo deal with computer-related things, and although she wasn't old-fashioned in her thinking, she always put their relationship as friends first and mother and son second, believing that respect and appropriate space were necessary. Now, seeing Leo's fingers flying quickly over the keyboard, she was still surprised. She didn't know if Jack had checked the surveillance video that night, and she didn't want to ask him. With a computer expert in the house, they could find out easily. She also wanted to know if anyone had entered his room that night...At this moment, Leo had already infiltrated the Hotel's system, and on the computer screen were many small windows. The window screens showed surveillance footage of various areas of the hotel. Because there were too many cameras and the computer screen was only so big, the w
When Hazel woke up, she felt a splitting headache. She sat up in bed, holding her temples with both hands, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.She shouldn't have drunk so much last night, and now she was the only one suffering. It was really her own fault! After sitting on the bed for a while, she belatedly realized that Leo wasn't by her side. She was startled and quickly got out of bed.As she put on her shoes, she called out, "Leo?""Mummy, I'm here," Leo's voice came from the living room, and Hazel immediately felt relieved."What's wrong?" Leo walked over, "Are you feeling unwell?""My head hurts a little," Hazel smiled, "It's nothing, it'll be better soon."Leo sat her down and said, "Wait for me here for a while." Then he ran out quickly.Hazel was too weak and uncomfortable to move, so she didn't pay attention to what Leo was going to do. Soon, Leo came back, holding a glass of milk."Mummy, drink this, it'll make you feel better," he said."Thank you," Hazel took the glass of milk
The doctor and nurse had just left, and Ashley's expression changed instantly. She had been pretending to be weak and helpless, but as soon as the door to the ward closed, she sat up in bed.If it weren't for those doctors and nurses barging in, the interview wouldn't have ended so quickly. But she
"Drive faster!" Jack urged from the back seat of the car.His anxious expression and furrowed brow revealed just how uneasy he was feeling.Just moments ago, Cynthia had told him that no one had answered Hazel's phone calls, and even Martha, who had gone with her, wasn't picking up. Cynthia was worr
After Hazel left for a while, Andrew walked out from behind the curtains. His face was even more gloomy than before.Ashley lay on the bed, with anger and hatred in his eyes. Andrew sat on the edge of the bed, silent, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy and depressing."Just now..." Ashley
Hazel's strength was getting weaker and her consciousness seemed to be fading. She deeply pinched her palm with her nails, trying to keep herself awake."You... let me go." Hazel struggled to speak.Harrison laughed as if he had heard a particularly funny joke, "I've put in so much effort, do you t
