Alex halted. He felt a shiver down his spine upon seeing the cold look on Hazel's face. He did not know what had happened, but Alex was sure that Hazel was not very happy with him. She was angry.

"Go and take your shower," Hazel said. "I made something for you to help with your hangover. Come over and eat once you are done."

A breath of relief escaped him. Though his girlfriend was angry, it doesn't seem as if it was something serious. As long as she still cared and concerned about him, he could still fix the situation, right?

As soon as Hazel left the room, Alex quickly scrambled off the bed and headed to the bathroom. He stood under the shower and tried to figure out what he had done to make her angry.

Alex tried to rethink last night's event. He remembered Raymond Qiu had challenged him to drink if he wanted to win the stuff. He knew that he had beat that man and won that bet.

Afterward… he cannot remember what happened. A deep frown appeared on his face as he seemed to recall something.

Wife… Why did this word suddenly appeared in his mind?

Alex dried his hair as he walked out of the bathroom. He wanted to call Daniel to ask what happened, but unfortunately, his phone had run out of battery. 

He put on his clothes and went to find Hazel. 

From the bedroom door, Alex could see Hazel's silhouette as she stood in front of the stove. The smell of something delicious wafted to his nose and suddenly, Alex could hear his stomach grumbled.

Alex wanted to give her a back hug, but before he could reach and hold her, Hazel had turned to him. 

"Go and sit down."

Seeing the cold air around her made him feel uncomfortable. Alex obediently sit down and waited as Hazel walked over with two bowls of porridge. On the table, Hazel had prepared a tea that was going to help him with his hangover.

Alex drank his sobering tea quietly and ate his breakfast.

The silence between them was making him uncomfortable. Alex put down the spoon in his hand and turned to Hazel. "Hazel, are you angry?"

Hazel raised a brow. "Did you do something to make me angry?"

Alex frowned, thinking that this was definitely a trick question. He knew that he had not done anything wrong, but from Hazel's expression, it was clear that he had done something that had made her angry.

He still could not figure out what he had done.

Hazel continued to watch Alex's expression with the corner of her eyes. The corner of her lips tilted up slightly before it disappeared. Hazel did not think that watching Alex's flustered expression could be fun.

However, a few seconds later, Hazel changed her mind. Although she was enjoying teasing him, Hazel found that she did not have the heart to continue this prank.

The look on Alex's face was too pitiful.

Hazel hardened her heart. She cannot let him scoot free without giving him a warning.

"Why did you drink so much last night?" 

Alex lowered his head, knowing that he did not know how he should explain his situation. Will Hazel think that he was too silly to drink too much just because he wanted to win a bet?

However… if he did not come out with an answer, Hazel will continue to be upset.

"I wanted to purchase something, but that other party would not sell it to me unless if I win the bet," Alex decided to come clean. He would explain everything Hazel needed to know. Just that… if Hazel was going to ask him what is it that he wanted from Raymond Qiu, he would not be able to answer that question.

He wanted to give her a surprise.

After Hazel had agreed to give him a chance and the two of them had started to date, Alex has been looking for the perfect ring that he was going to propose to her with.

Finally, he found what he wanted. This ring was a symbol of eternity. There was a legend behind it. It was said that if one propose with that ring, their marriage would last for a lifetime.

He liked the story and wanted to purchase that ring, but that person who had the ring was being too difficult. It was only last night that Raymond had agreed to sell him that ring.

Alex had set his eyes on that ring for a long time. Once he had set his eyes on something, he was unable to let go.

No matter what was the condition, Alex had to agree. Since he had asked him to win in a drinking game, Alex could only drink and win that game.

"Was it that important until you have to drink so much?" Hazel asked. She recalled the number of bottles on the table as she found him in the club and was very upset.

Hazel knew how damaging it to one's body if one was drinking too much. A lot of things could go wrong and Hazel could not bear to watch Alex lay down on the hospital bed again.

Alex lifted his head to look straight at her. "It's important to me."

Hazel was startled by his answer. Seeing the determination in his expression, Hazel found that she could not say anything. It was an important thing for Alex and as his girlfriend, she did not want to prevent him from doing what he liked.

A deep, long breath escaped her. "I don't mind if you wanted to drink, but you shouldn't drink too much," Hazel said. "Do you know how worried I was when your friend, Daniel had called to say that you were too drunk to go home? You insisted that you would not return home unless if I come over and pick you up."

Alex thought about the club area and how Hazel had to go out late at night to pick him up. Suddenly, he was feeling guilty.

"Next time, you should ask someone to drink in your stead," Hazel said. "Alex He, I did not like it when you drink too much. What if you hurt your stomach? What if Daniel was not around to watch over you? What if something bad happened to you?"

"I promise that there will be no next time," Alex said. He raised a hand to show that he was committed to this promise. 

"Don't make a promise that you cannot keep," Hazel reminded him. She pursed her lips and spoke again. "Next time, when you decide to do something, can you please think of me?"

"I won't make you worry again."
