Best novel online free at novelhall.com or NovelTeam.Net

Later at night, Edith walked out of the bathroom and saw that her husband was sitting on the one-seater sofa in a corner of their bedroom. She walked around him before she draped her arms around his shoulders from behind. 

A familiar scent entered his nose and Neil looked up from the book he was reading, tilted his head sideways, and pecked at his wife's cheek. 

"Darling…" Edith called with a languid tone.

Neil found that he was distracted when his wife whispered close to his ears."Hmm?"

"I just realized something... How come you didn't chase me before we started to date?"

Back then, the two of them has been living together for Hazel. Therefore, when Neil had asked to date him, Edith had quickly agreed. She liked him and didn't want to miss out on a chance of being with him.

But after her conversation with Hazel earlier, Edith realized that she had never experienced the feeling and excitement of being chased.

Neil was startled by her question. "Why did you suddenly ask me this?"

Edith pursed her lips, knowing that couldn't tell him about his conversation with Hazel. "No. I was just wondering."

Neil continued to stare at the woman in front of him. Because she was pregnant with twins this time, the bulging on her stomach could be seen at this earlier stage. Fortunately, her pregnancy reaction was not as bad as it was during her pregnancy with Hayden.

Neil thought back about their early relationship and recalled how it started. Edith was a little drunk when she had suddenly kissed him and told him that she liked him.

It was after that event that he had started to pay a little more attention to her. Perhaps, one part of the reason they were together was because of Hazel, but after getting along together in that short time, their feelings accumulated and Neil knew right away that Edith is the person he wanted to spend his life with.

"What?" Neil cocked his head. "Are you going to tell me that you're silently regretting that we got together a little earlier?"

"It's not that." Edith let out a sigh. "I was just thinking how I have missed out on the excitement."

He closed the book and placed them on the side table. Then, Neil removed her arms around his neck, pulled her over, and let her sit on his lap. "Well… Look. I already caught you."

Edith narrowed her eyes at him and clicked her tongue.

Neil chuckled when he saw the look on her face. He buried his nose in her neck and inhaled deeply. "Let's not talk about chasing or running away. Isn't it good that we can get together a little earlier? Each second spent with you is very precious to me." He pulled away and looked straight into her eyes. "If you wanted some excitement, we can always try something else."

Edith bit at her lips when she saw the way his eyes slowly darkened. She had seen this look on his face for years and knew what was in his mind. Her lips curled into a teasing smile. "Darling, what do you have in mind?"

Neil leaned forward again and whispered a few words to her. When he looked into her eyes again, he did not miss the anticipation of her expression.

Her gaze went down towards his lips. Edith hooked her arms around his neck and began to kiss him slowly.

Meanwhile…

Hazel sat in front of the mirror and patted her face slowly as she applied some night skincare routine. The phone on her table buzzed and Hazel looked at her roommates' group chat.

At this time, her roommates were discussing that their vacation would soon end and they will have to return to their college in a few days. Hazel joined in their conversation and discussed the various tests and assignments they will have to face once they returned.

Hazel thought about how she will return to B City with Alex in a few days and was suddenly found herself looking forward to it.

Her phone rang to a different tune. Hazel glanced at the screen and a faint smile appeared on her lips when she saw that Alex was video calling her. After adjusting her shirt a little bit, Hazel swiped her fingers on the screen.

Hazel felt her heart skipped a beat the moment his face smiling appeared on the screen. "Alex? What's wrong?"

Alex was a little dazed when he saw that Hazel's filled his phone screen. The lighting in Hazel's bedroom was a little dim, but he can see her soft and moisturized face clearly. Suddenly, Alex had this urge to bite at her cheek.

Sensing that his thought had gone astray, Alex shifted his gaze away for a few seconds before he looked at her again. "I can only call you when there is something wrong?"

"That's not what I meant," Hazel said. "It's late. I thought that you called for something urgent."

His expression turned solemn. "Well, I do have an urgent matter."

"Ah?" Hazel sat up straight. "What is it?"

"Hazel Mo, I miss you."

It took her a few seconds to react. Hazel lowered her head and was a little embarrassed. The AC was on, but her body heated up. Her heart was beating erratically and Hazel thought that her head would explode.

Alex saw her shy expression and was a little happy. The look on her face was as adorable it was years ago. However, he knew that he should not be teasing her too much, and therefore, Alex decided to change the subject.

"Do you have any plan for tomorrow?"

Hazel pondered over the question and shook her head. 

"Then, I will pick you up tomorrow, and let's have lunch together, alright?"

"Didn't you say that you have to help your father to look at the company's matter? Won't you be busy?" Hazel asked. 

She knew that the reason Alex was able to send her back to B City was that he wanted to look at the company that he had invested in. However, because of this, he had to work hard and deal with a few things in L City.

"Mmm… But I will still need to eat," Alex said. He thought for a while and continued, "My work is important, but convincing you to agree and date me is equally important." 

Hazel was a little stunned upon hearing his words. She had known Alex for years, but why didn't she know that he can be a sweet-talker? She was not used to this and her face went red again.

At this time, Hazel suddenly recalled her conversation with her Auntie Edith earlier. Her Auntie had told her stories about why she had agreed to date her Uncle. In the end, Auntie Edith said that a person should have the courage to love. 

Since she had already decided to give Alex a chance, she had to cooperate and not make things too hard for him.

"Accompany me for lunch, alright?" Alex spoke when Hazel did not answer.

Hazel saw at the anticipation on his face and nodded.
