Chapter 427 - I'll Listen To My Wife

As the two were heading to the hotel, Alex had one hand on the steering wheel and the other was holding on to Hazel's hand tightly. From the look at it, it doesn't seem as if he was going to let her go anytime soon. 

The smile on his face was too bright that Hazel did not have the heart to pull her hand away.

"Are you sure you can drive like this?" Hazel asked. "Let's put our safety first."

Alex nodded. "You're right. I'll listen to my wife."

Her face turned red upon hearing his words. "Who is your wife?" Hazel lowered her head as she was too lazy to deal with Alex's teasing. Seeing that the man had put his focus on the road again, Hazel lifted her hand and stared at the ring on her finger.

Hazel was still in disbelief that Alex had proposed to her and that she had agreed. Every time she saw the ring on her finger, her heart would beat faster and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. Whatever it was, that feeling certainly made her giddy.

It was still a little strange to feel that little weight on her finger. Though she had worn many rings before, the ring that Alex had put on her ring gave her a different feeling.

The diamond was just the right size and it was shining brilliantly whenever she set her eyes on it. One look at it tell her that the price of this ring was not cheap.

"This ring should cost you a lot of money right?"

Alex laughed when he heard her words. He recalled how he had won that ring and smiled. There was no way that he was going to tell her how he had managed to purchase that ring. After all, that girl would only scold him and called him careless.

"Are you sure you wouldn't go bankrupt after this?" Hazel continued when he did not answer.

Alex let out a helpless sigh. "Do you like it?"

Hazel took her time to stare at the ring a little longer. "I like it. It's beautiful. Moreover, this is something that you picked for me." The smile on her lips widened. "You know my taste the best."

"There is a legend behind this ring."

Hazel looked at him with interest. "What legend?"

"It was said that if one proposed with this ring, their marriage would last for a lifetime."

Hazel let out a chuckle. "Alex He, you do realize that that is the advertiser's tactic to lure people into buying their product."

"Whether the legend is true or not, I want to believe in it." Alex glanced at Hazel and flashed a smile. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Her heartbeat accelerated upon hearing his words. Hazel quickly looked away shyly. "As long as you treat me well, I promise that I will stay by your side for a very long time."

Alex stretched his hand to hold hers. Then, he pecked at her wrist.

…

When they arrived at the restaurant, Hazel was surprised to see that Alex's parents were around as well.

However, when she saw how Auntie Lily kept on glancing at her hand, Hazel understood that Auntie Lily should have known about Alex's proposal.

"Did you tell your mother that you're going to propose to me?" Hazel whispered.

"Un." Alex nodded. He touched his nose and explained, "Actually, every one of them knew that I was going to propose to you today."

Hazel stared at him with her eyes wide. Her face was red again and Hazel was embarrassed."Why did you go around and tell everyone?"

"I did not know how you would answer," Alex said. "I need everyone's blessing before I can propose to you."

At this time, Edith walked over and pulled Hazel into a big hug. "Congratulations on your graduation ." She pecked at Hazel's cheek and a wide smile tilted on her lips. "I heard that Alex had proposed to you today. Seeing that ring on your finger, I'm guessing that you have agreed. How does it feel to have that ring on your finger?"

"Auntie Edith, I'm still having a hard time believing that everything is real," Hazel whispered. 

Edith laughed. "Come and sit down. You must be hungry. Let's wait for the food to be served and chat." 

On the round table, Hazel was seated in the middle of her Auntie Edith and Alex. The twin boys came over as well and they were sitting in their stroller obediently as they stared at their toys.

The moment the boys saw Hazel, they immediately squirmed around excitedly. The eldest brother stretched up both hands as if he was asking his elder sister to carry him. 

After the last time she saw them, the boys had grown up and have gained a little weight. Hazel teased the twins for a while and saw the way the younger brother would stare at the ring in her finger with his eyes wide.

The waiter walked in to serve the food and Hazel began to focus on eating her food.

Earlier today, she had fallen asleep without eating. Now that she could smell the tasty food, her stomach growled, asking to be fed.

Hazel ate her food slowly as she continued to listen to her Auntie Edith and Auntie Lily's conversation. When she looked at her bowl again, Hazel seemed to notice that the carrot on her bowl had gone missing.

She glanced at the man beside her and understood that he had taken the carrots away.

A faint smile appeared on her face as Hazel thought of how Alex would always take those carrots away from her bowl.

Suddenly, Hazel noticed that both Auntie Edith and Auntie Lily was looking at her with a teasing smile on their face. 

"It seemed that we will become family soon," Lily said to Edith. Then, she turned to Hazel and asked, "When do you want to get married?"

Hazel glanced at Alex and spoke, "We haven't decided yet."

Alex had just proposed to her and they haven't properly talked about a wedding. She had once mentioned that she wanted to wait until she had graduated. But now that she had graduated, it seemed that there were a few other things that she had to consider before having a wedding.

"At this time, Alex is still busy with his company's matter," Hazel said. She recalled that Alex was in the process of handing the company to Daniel.. "Let's just wait until we both return to L City."
