Even if a person’s appearance changed, there would be similarities in his habits, speech, and way of doing things. This was also the reason why Hazel had a sense of familiarity with Bob the first time she met him.
“I know, but I can’t control myself.”
Bob stood behind Hazel. His eyes were full of pain. This was all caused by him.
If they hadn’t met at the bar that night, Hazel wouldn’t have been taken away by the Plum Blossom Organization. It had only been a few months, but their lives had changed dramatically.
“Hazel, if time could turn back, would you like to go back to the past?”
In the past, there were only Bruce and Hazel. As Bruce, he had the ability to protect Hazel. Thus, she would not have to go through so much trouble to avoid the indecent director’s hidden rules.
“I think the topic is meaningless.”
No one could go back to the past unless there was a rebirth in the world.
People always had to experience setbacks to grow up. Hazel felt that she was in a very good state. She was not willing to be fooled by the others. Hazel liked the current state.
Now, despite being a small character, Hazel had confidence, courage, and determination to compete with the Plum Blossom Organization.
“I mean if…”
Bob’s heart was racing. He silently waited for Hazel’s answer.
Exactly! Bob didn’t give up. He also could not give up. How could he forget about the relationship lasting over four years?
Hazel lowered her eyes. She thought, ‘If I could return to the past, I would not be willing. I don’t want to be deceived and played like a fool by others. What was innocence? In fact, it’s just simple-minded.’
“Why?”
This answer almost made Bob collapse. He excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Hazel’s hand. “Is there nothing worth remembering in the past?”
“I will miss the past, but I will still walk forward.”
Hazel shook off Bob’s hand. She thought that she had already made it very clear last time. They couldn’t return to the past. Besides, they hadn’t been in a relationship in the past. The memory should be kept in mind.
“You said that you didn’t want to go back to the past. It must be for him.”
Bob was discouraged again. He wanted to convince himself that Hazel was a gold digger. That way, he would not be so sad. However, he knew that Hazel was not that kind of person.
Hazel was silent, and the answer was obvious. To be able to meet Baron was her greatest fortune in her life. If not for him, perhaps Hazel’s parents would already be dead.
“Hazel, you know what he is facing. If one day, the Floyd Group faces a serious crisis, how could he protect you?”
The Plum Blossom Organization was more brutal than they had imagined. It was still not too late to leave now. Bob sincerely considered Hazel. He could arrange for Hazel and her family to go abroad. They could come back after things settled down.
“Are you joking?”
Hazel looked at Bob with a strange gaze and said resolutely, “Not to mention that we are in that kind of relationship, even if we are friends, I won’t let him bear everything alone. Although my ability is limited, I am willing to accompany him. No matter whether he is the president of the Floyd Group or not, I will not leave him, unless he does not need me one day.”
“I need you.”
Baron learned from the housekeeper that Hazel had gone out. He was afraid that Elva’s fans would recognize her and hurt her. Baron went out to do something. So, he came to see Hazel.
Baron thought, ‘I came at the right time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have heard her heartfelt words.’
“Baron, why are you here?”
Hazel did not feel guilty at all. There was nothing between her and Bob or Bruce. Today was a chance encounter.
“I’m here to pick you up.”
Baron looked calm. He looked at Hazel affectionately, and he felt touched.
Baron thought, ‘She is unique. Perhaps the first time when we met, it was destined that we would be together.’
“Great! I’m just worried about how to go back.”
Hazel waved goodbye to Bob and intimately held Baron’s arm. Along the way, she introduced the scenery of the campus to Baron.
“Baron, is there anything that you regret?”
Hazel had many regrets, including the retirement of the old man in the school canteen. She couldn’t eat her favorite dish anymore.
“Yes.”
Previously, Baron had nothing to regret. Not to regret was his principle. He never regretted it even if he faced terrible consequences.
“What was it?”
Hazel stopped and raised her head. She was very curious.
“The first time we met, if I knew that I would love you so much today, I would not have turned a blind eye to your pain.”
It was raining that night. His disregard made Hazel wet in the rain. If she hadn’t gotten into his car valiantly, they would never have met again in the future.
“Love?” When Baron said that he loved her, Hazel was so excited that she was at a loss. She knew that he would not lie.
They walked silently for a while. Baron looked at Hazel, who was walking in a hurry. He smiled. Hazel walked so quickly. She must be shy.
“Since you’re back here, why don’t I accompany you for a stroll?”
Baron stepped forward and held Hazel’s hand as if they were a couple on campus.
The students in the film academy were generally good-looking. There were countless handsome men and beautiful women, so they did not attract special attention.
“But, you should be very busy, right?”
Baron didn’t like shopping. He used the most straightforward way to solve his problems. Hazel hesitated for a moment. “Aren’t we going home?”
“It won’t take long. It’s not even night yet. Could it be that you want to sleep with me?”
Baron stopped. He gazed at Hazel. Hazel’s face was red. She felt abashed. Hazel wondered whether Baron was flirting.
“Roger and Edie said you were cold. How can you…”
Hazel swallowed. Baron was very attractive to her.
“I always treat people in different ways.”
Baron pinched Hazel’s cheeks lovingly, a smile in his eyes. “The rumors said that I was ugly and impotent. You should know very well whether I am or not.”
The hidden message in his words made Hazel blush again. It was really nonsense.
Hazel covered her face with both hands. She was drooling over Baron’s body and his tight muscles.
“Your face is so red.”
They had been intimate countless times, but Hazel still blushed so easily. Baron could not bear to continue teasing her, so he said, “Let’s go. Take me to the place where you once studied and lived.”
Baron thought, ‘It’s not too late to make up for the fact that I missed Hazel’s past 20 years of life. I want to know her better.’
