“If you like, I’ll send you abroad and arrange for your family to go with you.”
Bob said with sincerity, his eyes clear. “Be good. Let’s get married. I’ll protect you.”
Perhaps most of the people in the world would fall for that, but not Hazel.
Baron also said that before, but at that time, he did not look in her eyes, nor was he sincere, but every word of his was sonorous, and he really did it.
Baron was loving and protecting her in his own way.
The two had experienced life and death together, and the soul-stirring process was more convincing than any words.
The past would always be in the past. Hazel would miss the old days, but she did not want to persist.
Even if there wasn’t Baron, she did not want to go back to the past. If she blindly indulged herself, there would be no passion or thirst for the unknown.
“I can give you anything he gives you.”
Bob looked ahead indifferently. Under the dim yellow light, the flowers danced in the air with the cool breeze, adding sadness.
Baron should not involve Hazel in this. He was too selfish!
“He didn’t mean it.”
Hazel subconsciously didn’t want Baron to be misunderstood. She had suffered so much pain, including being kidnapped and shot. She couldn’t keep to herself.
She couldn’t hide. She couldn’t hide in the dark corner.
“Alright.”
Bob stood up and waved at Hazel. “I won’t give up persuading you. Please give me a chance.”
Hazel looked at his back and felt sad in her heart.
Her feelings for him lasted for years and could not disappear in an instant. She just wanted to hide the beauty deep in her heart.
As the phone rang, Hazel pressed the answer button.
“Lucy said you were not feeling well. Are you feeling better now?”
On the other side of the line, Baron was drinking coffee, and there were nearly half a meter tall documents on the desk.
“She’s better now. You got a bit of an overprotective vibe happening here.”
Women all had menstrual periods, and it was normal for them to have occasional menstrual cramps. Hazel felt a little guilty. She did not use understudy when filming a scene of jumping into the river.
The sound of paper came from the other side of the line. Hazel knew Baron must have stayed up all night.
“Yeah, I heard you lost your job again.”
Baron put down the document and took a deep breath. When he heard her voice, his mood turned good. He could leave the terrible mess aside.
“Don’t you see who did this?”
Although it was Wendy who took the initiative to find fault with her, he was the main culprit.
It was said that in the Floyd family, any woman other than the president’s assistant would be mercilessly treated as long as they approached Baron.
Wendy went abroad for plastic surgery. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept Hazel by Baron’s side for so long.
“Bob came to find you,” Baron said with certainty.
“Are you spying on me?” asked Hazel furiously.
Perhaps it was a mistake to meet other men behind her boyfriend at night, but she simply wanted to make it clear to Bob.
“Look up. There are cameras under the streetlights.”
To protect Hazel, Baron sent people to install surveillance cameras on the path around the house to prevent any sudden changes.
“It’s not surveillance. It’s protection.”
In Baron’s dictionary, there had never been a word “explanation”.
It was the first time he had made an exception.
Hazel had just lost her job and had a formal conflict with Wendy. Baron couldn’t be at ease leaving her alone in the country.
“Come to Hawaii for a vacation. It just so happens that there is an international swimwear competition these days.”
Baron asked Hazel if she wanted to go. Edie also wanted to go to the show, so they could go together.
Hazel agreed.
The next day, she told Lucy and Finn to take a break. She dragged her luggage and waited for Edie at the entrance of the flight to Hawaii.
“Hazel, I’m here!”
Edie was wearing a ladylike long dress. When she was walking, her posture looked strange.
The passersby all looked at her from time to time.
“What are you looking at? Do you never see a person with disabilities before?”
Edie roared, and the surroundings suddenly became silent.
Well, that was Edie, who had never experienced any hardships. However, Hazel covered her face. She did not dare to raise her head.
“Hazel, I’m really pissed.”
Edie sat down and began to complain incessantly. She did not bring any luggage at all, only carrying a small bag with her.
“What’s wrong?”
Hazel saw Edie panting and quickly handed her a glass of juice.
In the VIP waiting area, small snacks and drinks were provided for free, and the service staff had an amiable attitude. This was the first time Hazel experienced such a great treatment.
“Well, I haven’t had time to remove the tag on the dress.”
Edie drank up the juice in one go and wiped her sweat with a tissue. “I sneaked away when I was shopping with my mother!”
As the Turner family party approached, Edie’s mother and the Garnett family contacted each other and put the marriage between Edie and Roger on the agenda. After all, the two of them were not young anymore. They had to quickly get married and it would be easier for the two families to cooperate in the future.
Recently, the market had been in a bad state. If they relied on themselves independently to face financial storms, it was still a little difficult.
Edie’s mother always thought Edie was not a graceful lady and insisted on making her change. She thought it unacceptable for the daughter-in-law of a rich family to ride a horse or race a car.
“I jumped down from the bathroom on the second floor of the mall and almost hit the car downstairs.”
Edie waved her hand proudly. It was almost time for the plane to take off. The bodyguards could not catch up.
“I heard that Wendy is messing with you?”
“It doesn’t count. She’s just giving the director a favor and letting someone replace my job.”
Hazel lay on the table and stirred the juice in boredom. She didn’t suffer any losses herself and only relied on the protection of Baron.
“Edie, can you shoot? I want to learn.”
Pulling Edie, Hazel was very urgent. She urgently wanted to master more skills so that she could protect herself against the Plum Blossom Organization.
She did not want to become a burden every time and be taken care of.
“Then you have found the right person.”
Edie liked exciting sports, and shooting was one of her strong points. “but I have conditions.”
“Well, what do you need?”
Hazel bowed. Well, Baron was too busy. She was very reserved for people she was not familiar with. If Edie was willing to take time to be her teacher, it would naturally be great.
“Learn to ride a horse with me, and I’m doing this for your own good.”
“I don’t usually like to tell people this,” said Edie as she blinked.
On the horse track, there was a great chance to meet Wendy. Edie had never been on good terms with Wendy since she was young, but she had to reluctantly treat Wendy as a friend just for the benefit of the two families.
It was a great joy in Edie’s life to make Wendy suffer.
