Hazel came home after her uncle had gone out to the office. 

The moment she saw her Auntie Edith at the corner with a book in her hand, Hazel felt a little guilty about sneaking out and not telling them anything. Suddenly, Hazel had lost her courage to speak.

"You're back," Edith was the first to speak.

"Hmm…"

"Have you had your breakfast?"

Hazel was a little stunned at the question. She was expecting to get scolded, but her auntie only asked whether she had eaten with her usual warm voice. Facing this situation, Hazel felt the guilt intensify.

"I ate a little before coming back," Hazel said. She hesitated and asked, "Auntie Edith, are you not going to ask me where I go?"

"Didn't you left a note in your room?" Edith smiled. She saw the look on Hazel's face and tried her best not to laugh.

Hazel lowered her head. "Then… Is my uncle angry when he found that I had suddenly gone missing?"

"He did not think that you went missing."

"Ah?" Hazel wondered if her uncle was unaware that she was not in her bedroom.

"He saw you sneaking out with Alex last night."

Her expression grew frigid. Hazel certainly was not expecting her uncle to see her leave the house in the middle of the night. Then… since he had seen her sneaking out, would he not get angry?

That was the first time that Hazel had tried to sneak out and she was feeling guilty about it.

Seeing the look on Hazel's face, Edith decided not to tease the girl lest she would continue to worry. Hazel has been such an obedient little girl. Edith thought that it was interesting to see that Hazel had sneaked out.

"Come over here." Edith waved her hand and patted the space beside her. A soft laugh escaped her as Edith watched the way Hazel was walking over with her head lowered.

Hazel sat down and was pulled into Edith's embrace.

"Out of all my children, you are the one I would worry about the most," Edith said. She helped Hazel to tuck a few strands of hair behind her ears and continued. "And you are also the one that I trust the most."

Hazel bit at her lips. She had always known that her uncle and auntie had treated her like their own child. It was because of this reason that she was feeling guilty.

"I believe that both your uncle and I had taught you everything you need to know. You are grown up enough to know what you are doing," Edith continued. "As long as you are sure that you are safe and you know how to protect yourself, we won't stop you from doing whatever you want."

"I'm sorry," Hazel said. "I could not sleep last night and then, after talking to Alex, I just thought that I wanted to see him."

Edith flashed her a teasing smile. It felt that it was not long ago that Hazel was still hesitating about dating Alex. In just a few months, Edith could see that the kids' relationship had gotten better.

It looked like Alex's decision to stay in B City is the right one. He had wanted to stay closer to Hazel and pursue her and it looked like his patience to wait and pursue Hazel had finally paid off.

…

Hazel went back to her room after talking to Edith for a while. Her phone rang just as she had come out of the bathroom. Hazel looked at the screen and her lips curled when she saw Alex's name.

"Did you get into trouble with your uncle and Auntie Edith?" Alex asked.

"No. They were fine with it. However, Alex…"

"What is it?"

"My uncle saw me when I sneaked out of the house last night."

Alex halted when he heard her words. His heartbeat accelerated as he could sense an incoming danger. However, Alex quickly calm down and composed himself. Even if Hazel's uncle was going to scold him, Alex was ready for it. 

It looks like he will have to arrange a meeting with Hazel's uncle soon.

The two chatted for a while and Alex assured Hazel that he did not mind getting into trouble with her uncle for her. 

Once they hung up the phone, Alex made a phone call to Edith and explained to her what they were doing sneaking out. Although his mother and Hazel's auntie were best friends, he did not want them to misunderstand his intention towards Hazel. He really liked Hazel and hoped that perhaps soon, once she had graduated, he can propose to her.

Fortunately, Auntie Edith trusted them. After assuring her that he will not do anything to hurt Hazel, Alex hung up and get ready to head over to the office.

He was going to stay in L City for a few days to accompany Hazel and he should take some time to visit the company and looked into a few documents.

Previously, Alex had promised his father that he would not neglect his responsibility just because he wanted to pursue Hazel. Anyway, if he was someone who was that irresponsible, there was no way that Hazel's uncle will allow him to continue to court Hazel.

To be with Hazel, he needed to be the best.

Alex arrived at the company and was greeted by his assistant. Seeing the anxious look on the man's face, Alex had a sense of foreboding.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked when his assistant continued to hesitate.

"That... President Mo of MH Group is here to see you."

"What?" Alex was unable to hide his surprise. "Where is he?"

"President He... Your father heard of his visit and invited him to his office," the Assistant reported. "Both of them are now in the President's office."

A deep frown appeared on his face. Alex could sense that Hazel's uncle had come over to find him because he had instigated Hazel to sneak out with him. Although Auntie Edith was cool about it, it does not mean that Hazel's uncle would think the same.

Alex was aware of how much the man cared about Hazel.

He went to his father's office and rapped his knuckles on the door. Soon, Alex heard his father's voice and he pushed the door and walked in.

Two pairs of eyes were looking at him, and Alex had to play it cool. He greeted the two men and looked at Hazel's uncle anxiously.

"You're here," Ethan spoke when he saw his son. He glanced at Neil and frowned at his son. "Hazel's uncle came over to see you, but I told him that you would only come to the office in the afternoon."

"I need to talk to you," Neil said. He stood up and walked over to Alex.

He took a deep breath and smiled. "Sure.. Please come with me."
