“So why did she distance herself from you?” He asked once again while Reuben stayed silent. He was watching this all silently, standing in a corner of the room, leaning against the wall with his arms folded on his broad chest. He did not want to say anything in the midst of all this because he already knew all these things. His father had already told him about his past because Reuben wanted to know about the reason behind his deteriorating health and the truth seemed bitter to him. That truth was so bitter and astringent that it was difficult to get it out of the mouth. At the same time, that truth could have caused a rift in family relationships. Because that truth was related to his real mother Natalia. “Because she was pregnant with my child. And she didn’t want to spoil my reputation because someone lied to her that I was married. Had that truth come out in the middle of my marriage, my name and fame could have sunk.” He smiled at the end but that smile was fake. It carried the

“And you thought that he was some man who was trying to impress me…” Hazel laughed, throwing her head back as she remembered the morning she saw his jealous side. It was indeed a sight to behold by her. He was indeed a protective man of hers. Christian, who was washing the dishes after he had dinner, could not help but sigh when he heard her laughing. Though he loved the pleasant sound, it was the twenty-eighth time she was teasing him. After coming back from the Samuel mansion, he had gone out for some work. And then he came straight back at nine o’clock at night while Adam was asleep. Hazel was the first to cook and serve him food. After that, he insisted on washing the dishes himself. And since the incident of the morning had cropped up in their normal conversation, Hazel had found an opportunity to tease him over and over again. “You’re teasing me nonstop, Haze,” he murmured, putting a dish away before he went to dry his hands with a towel. Hazel, after she held her hands behi

“He’s really excited,” said Hazel as she looked down at her kid who was jumping with joy. He was holding her hand and jogging in his place, eagerly waiting for the guests to arrive. “He really is,” said Christian with a small smile on his lips which was slightly hidden behind his beard. “He said he’ll drive them home,” he continued, looking in his front. Many people were arriving by the large gates but their family was not behind those people. He wondered what made them so late. She chuckled when she heard him. Adam was unable to hide his happiness. “They’re coming,” the words that escaped his mouth got Hazel’s quick attention as she quickly raised her head and found the family coming to them. Her eyes slightly widened when she eyed each one of them, suddenly feeling nervous. Sanam and his wife were walking together. His hand was on her lower back as he guided them ahead. He was wearing a brown suit, looking so formal and high class, while his wife was wearing a simple white knee-

“All these?” Hazel asked, holding the bundle of dresses in her arms and looking down at them because they were more than ten. Some of them were in Zoya’s arms, because it was too difficult for Hazel to lift those gowns by herself, so Zoya was there to help her. Their size was also bigger than normal clothes. “Yes, dear. We all just found them beautiful. Now see which one you like best.” Heer gave her a small smile after she delivered those words. And it took almost an hour for them to select those gowns. Abigail was telling the truth when she told the reason for an hour. They all went out shopping at eleven in the morning and now it was early afternoon. “Okay,” said Hazel as she went into the spacious closet. Zoya followed her behind. The door opened and they walked inside. Zoya put the dresses in a safe place before she went outside, leaving Hazel behind. She first ran her eyes around the large room. There was a long marble slab beside her and half of the wall had splayed a mirr

He sighed relaxedly once he entered her room. He could come back home only after dropping off his family members at the hotel. Marcus was too busy with his wife and kids until Rebecaa blessed Hazel with all her heart, so he did not want him to handle the work of dropping them off at the hotel.He did that by himself and there, Adam insisted on staying with his grandparents. Though he wanted Adam to come with him, Heer was ready to keep Adam with themselves so Christian did not bother them much. He drove back. He inhaled the sweet scent of hers in the room which was strongly dominating the entire closed room. He looked around and found the room decorated with lit-up candles and rose petals. He remembered when Kevin gave him a smirk on his way back home. So it was easy to catch that the room was decorated by him and Irene. He shook his head and walked ahead to sit on the bed. The rose petals spread on the white sheet were crushed under his weight for which he did not care at all. He
