Chapter 392 - Hilltop View

Alex's AUDI finally pulled over once they reached the hilltop. 

He glanced at the woman beside him and stretched his hand to hold hers. Seeing the anxious look on her face, Alex sort of understood her feeling at the moment.

A few minutes ago, her adrenaline pumped. and she was feeling excited, sneaking out in the middle of the night with him. 

Now that she had calm down and was able to think sensibly, Hazel was feeling guilty about sneaking out behind her uncle and auntie.

"Should we head back?"

Hazel snapped out of her thoughts and turned to Alex. Her gaze softened and Hazel shook her head. "It's fine. We're already here. Let's just stay here for a while."

Alex tilted his head to one side as he continued to watch her. If Hazel mentioned heading back, he would definitely turn around and send her back to the residence.

A long sigh escaped him. "I am really a bad influence on you, aren't I? If your uncle heard that I helped you to sneak out…" Suddenly, Alex did not know what will Hazel's scary uncle do to him.

Hazel laughed when she heard his words. "My uncle isn't that scary. He is someone who will understand if you talk to him slowly."

Alex merely smiled. He looked out the window and said, "Do you want to go out and walk around?"

It was at this time that Hazel chose to look out the window and noticed their surroundings. Her eyes widened and she was a little surprised upon seeing the night city view. Turning to Alex again, Hazel nodded and the two alighted the vehicle. 

As soon as she stepped on the ground, Hazel felt something warm draped around her shoulders. Looking up, Alex had put his jacket around her body.

"Wear them or you'll get cold," Alex said.

Hazel lowered her gaze and nodded. "Un." She wrapped the jacket tightly on her body and instantly, Alex's scent filled her nostrils. At the thought that she was being hugged by Alex, her cheek turned a little red and her body warmed. 

Alex stretched his hand to hold hers. He led her and walked along the path and soon arrived at a small park. 

Hazel looked around and was surprised to see that there were a few groups of youngsters hanging around the place at this time. A few couples walked around the park, enjoying the night scenery.

"I didn't expect that there will be many people around at this time," Hazel said.

"Mmm… There are always a lot of people hanging around here with their friends." Alex led her to the spot where they could watch the city's view. 

The city light from the distance looked absolutely beautiful. Hazel stood behind the railings and stared at the view in front of her in awe.

"Most of them would spend their time here until sunrise," Alex continued.

Hazel turned and looked at Alex with her eyes wide. "You can watch the sunrise here?"

Seeing her excitement, the corner of his lips turned up. "Mmm… Do you want to stay around and watch the sunrise?"

Hazel paused and hesitated as she considered his question. After a while, she nodded. Her grip on his hand tightened. "Let's stay around." She looked at the city view again and asked, "How do you find this place?" A thought came to her mind and Hazel tilted her head to one side and a teasing smile curled on her lips. "Don't tell me that you've taken your previous girlfriend here?"

His eyes narrowed and Alex pinched at both her cheek to express his anger. "What previous girlfriend?"

"I'm sorry. I was just teasing you." Her words were a little incomprehensible as her cheeks were stretched up.

Seeing her misty eyes and reddened cheek, Alex was a little satisfied. Finally, he let go of her cheeks and turned to pull her into his embrace. "Hazel Mo I only liked you in the past and will continue to like you in the future. Do you understand?"

"Un." Her heart warmed and Hazel found that she could not stop smiling. 

"It was Tyler who introduced me to this place," Alex said. "He liked hiking and found out that there was a path for hikers to climb up here. Years ago, he make me come with him to hike up to watch the sunrise. It was then that we found out that some people would come over to this park just to walk around. This area is pretty safe with guards patrolling around. Because of that, the two of us would come over and hang around to watch the city view at night a few times."

"So, this is like your secret base with Tyler." 

"Mhm..."

A soft laugh escaped her.

Alex looked at the girl in his embrace and saw the teasing look in her eyes. He immediately understood what she was trying to imply and narrowed his eyes. "Hazel Mo. What was that look in your eyes?"

Seeing the way he was looking at her, Hazel immediately turned away. Her hands covered both her cheeks as she was afraid that he was going to pinch at her cheeks again.

Although it did not hurt, Hazel thought that it was embarrassing as they were in public.

His eyes darkened. Hazel had both hands cupping her face and her lips were pouting. Alex put his hands on top of hers before he leaned in to kiss her lips.

Her hands were still at her cheek and Hazel could not find a way to escape. After being kissed by Alex for a while, her mind turned dizzier and she started to reciprocate to him.

In a distance, a group of youngsters started to cheer when they saw them kissing.

Hazel snapped out of her trance and pulled away. Her hands were still covering her reddened cheek. "Look. It's your fault that they were laughing at us."

Alex did not care about their teasing. He merely wanted Hazel to stop having a strange thought in her mind. He needed to tell her that the person he liked will only be her and that was why he has to kiss her.

Seeing that she was embarrassed, Alex pulled her closer and let her hide her face in his chest. 

Once Hazel had calm down, Alex pulled her closer and the two chatted as they waited for the sunrise to come. After a while, Alex began to notice her droopy eyes. He pulled her over to a bench and sat down.

Alex wrapped his arms around her shoulders and let her leaned on his body. It did not take a long time for him to see that Hazel had fallen asleep.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.. Alex leaned to kiss her forehead before he continued to hug her and guarded her as she slept.
