During the twin's full moon celebration, both Hazel and Alex took the flight and went back to L City to attend the banquet.
The last time Hazel saw the babies, they were still in the incubator room and she was unable to hold them. It was the first time for her to hold the babies and she was very excited. She lowered her head to smell that unique milky smell and was very happy that the smell did not fade away.
An indescribable emotion came over as Hazel held the small baby in her arms.
A month ago, the babies were very small and thin. There were two of them in their mother's tummy and they had to learn to share their food.
After they came out, the twin drank a lot of their mother's milk and grown some meat on their bodies.
When they were born, the elder brother, Leo, came out a few pounds heavier. However, in a short time, the youngest one, Noah had grown fatter than his elder brother.
Watching the way Noah would suck the milk greedily made Hazel laugh. The little guy would look around with his tiny eyes as if he was worrying that someone was going to steal his food.
As the twins shared the same face, it was a little hard for Hazel to figure out which one was the elder and which one was the youngest. According to her Auntie Edith, Leo always had a serious look on his face, while Noah was a little playful.
However, after observing the babies for a while, Hazel was still having difficulties telling them apart.
Fortunately, their clothes and body size would often help Hazel to identify them.
The first time Hazel carried the babies, both of them would stare at her for a very long time. The babies thought that Hazel's voice sounded very familiar as their mother would often have a video call with their sister.
However, the babies could not figure out Hazel's smell. After staring at Hazel with their curious gaze for half of the day, the boys gradually began to accept Hazel and slept in her arms peacefully.
Her gaze softened as she watched the sleeping baby in her arms.
"Just put them in their crib if you're tired," Edith reminded her.
Hazel flashed a smile. "Just let me hold him a while longer. I have to head back to B City tomorrow. The next time I see the twins again, they would grow bigger."
Edith let out a helpless sigh as she watched his youngest son in Hazel's arms. This little guy was especially spoiled and loved to sleep in one's arms.
"Do you like babies that much?" Edith asked.
"Well, they're adorable," Hazel said. "And they smelled really good." She could not stop smelling them now and then. It was a relaxing scent.
"Then, have you thought about getting married and have a baby?" A teasing smile curled on Edith's lips. She shifted her gaze towards Alex who was chatting with a few of their guests. "Your relationship with Alex seemed very good."
Moreover… Edith noticed the way two people were looking at Hazel as she was carrying one of the twins.
Alex had a loving gaze in his eyes as he watched Hazel. It was not hard for her to guess that Alex was looking forward to marrying Hazel and build a family of their own.
The boy has been waiting for Hazel for a long time. It would be understandable that he would get impatient.
Edith could almost imagine that Alex should be making his plan to propose.
Meanwhile, her friend, Lily had almost the same gaze as her son. How can Edith did not know what was behind her friend's mind?
Lily was looking forward to having a grandchild too.
"I won't stop you if you wanted to get married at this age," Edith continued. "After all, I married your uncle at your age." A sigh escaped her as she recalled how her husband had dragged her to the Civil Bureau Affairs because he was scared that she was going to leave suddenly. Not long after, they had Hayden.
A soft sigh escaped her at the thought that her little Hazel would marry soon. It was a little hard to believe that the little girl would grow up so fast.
Hazel's face turned red at the thought of marrying Alex. "Auntie Edith."
She really did not know how to answer this question. Anyway, when she heard her Auntie Edith mentioned her relationship with Alex, Hazel was reminded that Edith had accidentally seen the marks that Alex had left on her body previously.
Edith laughed. She had always known that the young couple's relationship was very good. However, Edith did not know what Hazel thought about marriage.
Anyway, at this age and time, there were a lot of youngsters who preferred to live together as a couple without the bond of marriage.
"It's too early to think about marriage," Hazel said. "At least, I want to wait until I graduate." Her uncle had once mentioned that she needed to wait until she graduated if she wanted to get married.
She had then agreed. Life as a student was too hectic. She couldn't imagine getting married while she was still studying. It would be too tiring.
A smile curled on her lips. From her words, it does seem like Hazel was considering marrying Alex, right?
"Alright. Alright. I won't tease you." Edith pinched at Hazel's cheek.
Seeing that there would be someone to look after her boys, Edith stood up to greet their guests. Just as she was talking to one of the guests, Edith caught the sight of Alex trailing after her husband as they both headed to Neil's office.
A deep frown appeared on her face. Edith could not figure out what the two of them were going to talk about in private. Whatever it was, Edith was very sure that it should be something that related to Hazel.
Edith thought about trailing after them as she was worried that something was going to happen to Alex, but changed her mind.
There were guests all around and Edith was sure that her husband would not do anything to Alex under this circumstance.
The two men spent almost half an hour in the office. When they came out, Edith noticed the faint smile on Alex's lips, while her husband looked slightly unhappy.
Her brow shot up, as Edith wondered what had made them reacted this way.
Edith walked over to his husband and asked, "What did you and Alex talk about? You spent a long time in your office."
Neil chuckled. Then, he leaned in and peck at her lips. "Baby, nothing ever escaped your eyes, huh?"
"Stop playing around."
"Are you worried about Alex?"
"He's the child that grew up under my watch. Don't make trouble for him." Edith stared at her husband and poked at his hard chest. "Are you not going to say?"
Neil let out a long exhale. "Nothing much." A deep frown appeared on his face. "Just that.... he came to ask me permission to marry Hazel."
