Julian's finger gently scratched her nose as he said dotingly, "I'm not busy... Even if I'm busy, I will still come over. I can't let you starve because you are my wife."
Upon hearing this, Scarlett immediately let out a sweet smile. She then looked at Hazel and said gently, "Good morning, Hazel. Why were you not at home last night? Tell me, did you secretly get yourself a boyfriend? That's why you..."
Hazel panicked. How could that lunatic be her boyfriend?
It was true that she didn't go home. Moreover, she was shamefully pressed on the bed and tortured by that man for the entire night.
Although she tried hard to control her emotions, she still blushed.
She had already made up her mind to only maintain a counsinship with Julian. Therefore, she lowered her head and did not refute. She just panically spouted, "Scarlett..." Julian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Hazel didn't come home last night? Was she really with another man?
"It seems that I am right. As I said, Hazel, you must be having a boyfriend. But you're a girl, so you should be more careful outside. It's good to have a relationship but there are a lot of jerks nowadays. If you're free tomorrow, you should bring him back and show him to me and mom. We can also be your advisor. Am I right?"
Hazel blushed furiously but she couldn't tell the truth and only nodded gently.
When Scarlett saw this, her smile became more tender.
She deliberately looked at Julian and was relieved when she saw his tender look.
However, she didn't notice that there was a sudden hint of... dissatisfaction from Julian's eyes. It happened very fast that Julian didn't even notice it himself.
Scarlett continued, "By the way, I heard someone say that you are going to travel abroad now? Are you going for a month?"
Hazel nodded and could only brace herself to continue justifying her initial reason. "Yes, I want to relax. I'm just about to look for you and say my goodbye. I'm going to the airport now."
Scarlett gently took Hazel's hand and said, "Well, remember to have fun outside, alright? And also be careful."
Hazel's heart grew softer as Scarlett had always been very kind to her all these years.
Therefore, she would not allow herself to do anything to hurt Scarlett.
At this moment, Julian frowned and asked, "Are you going abroad for a month? Alone?"
"Yeah, alone... Don't worry, I have a plan. When I'm back safely, I'll attend your wedding, and be Scarlett's bridesmaid." Hazel said with a smile but there was still something she didn't say. She just thought it to herself and hoped she would completely forget about him a month later.
"Bon voyage." Julian didn't know why he had such a strange feeling in his heart but he could only give the blessing.
"Okay, thank you."
Hazel bowed her head after she spoke and left silently.
She didn't dare to listen to the laughter and sweet voices of those two behind her anymore.
"Hazel, he doesn't belong to you," she told herself.
She sincerely wanted to forget about him.
The Collins family was one of the richest families in Oriaby City.
And everyone in Oriaby City knew that Julian was the only successor of the Collins family.
Her sister, Scarlett, was his fiance and they had just held an engagement party a few days ago.
Soon, they would get married.
Their relationship was like a fairy tale. It was as if Cinderella finally found a handsome prince and they were destined to be happy.
Speaking of this, their fate started from the generation of Scarlett's biological mother and Julian's mother.
It was rumored that Scarlett's biological mother, Ivy-Rose Taylor, and Julian's mother, Cleo Watson, were best friends so when they were pregnant, they had agreed that their children would be betrothed if it was a boy and a girl. They even exchanged jade pendants during that moment.
