As Alex went to the washroom, Hazel leaned on the wall as she waited for him to return. Meanwhile, she took out her phone and started to browse through her message. At this time, her friends were discussing in the group chat about their experience in their internship. 

Some of them were having a good time at their company and some of them were bullied. 

Hazel replied to a few of her friends as she kept her eyes on her surroundings.

Sensing that someone was walking over to her, Hazel lifted her head and saw that a man was standing in front of her. Seeing the hesitation on the man's face, Hazel gave him a quizzical look and asked, "Can I help you?"

The man turned his head towards his friends before he looked at Hazel again. "Did you come here alone?"

Hearing his question, Hazel was instantly on her guard. Her eyes narrowed and her gaze became dangerous. If this man wanted to do something funny to her, Hazel would not hesitate to harm him.

The man let out a dry cough when he saw the way Hazel was staring at him. "If you don't mind, do you want to join me and my friends?"

Hazel followed the man's line of gaze and saw that he was looking at his friends. Seeing that the others were looking at her with a polite smile, Hazel began to lower her guard. 

"I'm sorry, but I came here with my boyfriend." 

The man flashed her a smile. There was a trace of suspicion in his eyes. He has been watching the girl for a while, and it doesn't look like her boyfriend was going to appear anytime soon. 

Knowing that this was not the first time that he had heard an excuse like this, the man continued to ask," Then, where is your boyfriend?"

"He stepped away for a while. He should be here soon." Right on cue, Hazel saw that Alex was heading in her direction. She waved her hand at him but failed to notice the unhappiness in his expression.

As soon as Alex arrived by her side, he gave a scrutinizing look at the man before he turned to Hazel again. "Who is this? Someone, you know?"

The man saw the hostility in Alex's eyes and subconsciously backed away. He turned to Hazel, forced a smile, and spoke, "Sorry to trouble you." Then, before Hazel was able to say anything, the man had turned around and joined his friends. 

Seeing that the man was no longer around, Alex was more at ease. "What did he say to you?"

"Nothing much. He was just asking whether I wanted to join him and his friends."

Alex wrapped his arms around her waist and heaved a long sigh. "What am I supposed to do? I only leave you for a short while and come back only to find that a guy is hitting on my girlfriend."

Hazel laughed it off. She tugged at his arms and pulled an adorable look on his face. "Alex. Let's go. I'm hungry."

Alex stretched his hand to pat her hair. His gaze on her was full of doting. "Then, what do you want to eat?"

Hazel wanted to eat something spicy, but when she recalled that there was a certain someone who could not handle spicy food, Hazel decided to walk around and find a place to eat.

The couple decided to eat at a Cantonese restaurant and picked a place at the counter seat. 

Alex let Hazel order their food and noticed that the girl had picked dishes that he liked. Once the waiter walked away, Alex pulled at Hazel's hand and kissed her hand.

"What are you doing?" Hazel quickly retracted her hands. 

"Kissing you."

Alex had a serious look on his face, but his tone was playful. The man was looking straight at her and there was an unmistakable teasing in his eyes. Watching him face to face like this made her heartbeat grew faster and her face turned red.

Swiftly, Hazel turned her head away. At this time, her eyes caught a pair of father and daughter sitting a few tables away from them. The little girl was somewhere around five and she was chirping happily as her father continued to feed her.

Looking at this scene, Hazel was reminded of the time she had first come to live with her uncle.

When she thought about her uncle, Hazel would think about the twins. The twins should be born sometime soon. Suddenly, Hazel remembered that she hasn't bought anything for the twins yet.

Hazel turned to Alex and flashed him a smile. "Let's go and shop around. I want to look for some gift for the twin brothers."

Alex of course, had no other rejection. 

After their meal, the two walked around the mall together. After visiting a few shops, Hazel finally stopped at a baby store.  On the display were a few rompers with different animal prints. Hazel walked over and was interested to see that the rompers came with a small cap with the same design.

Just imagining the twins dressed up in these animal rompers made her excited. 

However, there was another problem. There were too many to choose and Hazel could not make her decision.

Suddenly, Hazel seemed to understand why her uncle had always bought too many clothes for her when she was a little girl. It turned out that babies' and kids' clothing were just too cute that it would be hard for one to resist buying them.

Should she buy every one of them?

After pondering for a long time, Hazel turned to Alex and tilted her head. "Which one should I choose? What do you think?" 

"Which one do you like best?" Alex asked.

Hazel picked up one piece of the clothing on display. "This Koala is adorable." Then, she picked another one. "And so is this giraffe. And this lion." Hazel let out a sigh. "I can't choose. Every one of them is too adorable."

At this time, a shop attendant walked over with a polite smile on her face. The shop attendant looked at the couple and then, towards the rompers in Hazel's hand. "Are you looking for clothes for newborn babies?"

Hazel nodded. "This rompers should be suitable for newborn babies, right?"

The smile on the shop attendant's face widened. "Madam, you are right. These rompers are suitable for newborn babies up to six months old."

Hazel froze when she heard the way the shop attendant addressed her. Seeing the way the shop attendant was looking at her stomach, Hazel knew that the shop attendant had misunderstood her.

"These rompers are our best sellers and suitable for both baby boy and girl." The shop attendant looked at the couple again and continued. "The two of you are very good-looking. I'm sure your babies would be adorable like the parents. If your baby wears these clothes, they would look very cute as well."

At this time, Hazel thought that her CPU was overloaded again.

What babies? What parents?
