"Grandma, I don't want to live away from my daddy and mommy... I know that I won't get to see them again... What if I miss them?" her words were a bit incoherent as she forced back her sobs.

Seeing the little girl, he felt something tugged on his heart.

"Hazel," Neil spoke after a while. "If you don't want to live in the countryside with grandma, then would you like to live with me?"

A Lifetime With You

In the evening, when the sun was not as hot, Hazel and Megan decided to head over to the beach and joined the others. Alex was already waiting for the girls outside. He looked up from his phone and his gaze instantly went to Hazel.

After having a little chat with Megan about Alex, Hazel was prepared to look closely at his action. Seeing that the man had kept his eyes on her the moment she came out, Hazel felt a little embarrassed. Alex… he did not even bother to look at Megan who was with them.

Was this how he would always look at her?

Unable to bear his scorching gaze, Hazel lowered her head and urged, "Let's go. Didn't you say that we're going to play at the beach?" Instinctively, Hazel stretched her hand to hold Alex's.

Her movement halted when she realized what she had done. From the corner of her eyes, Hazel could see that Megan was secretly laughing at her.
