"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

Once they arrived at the restaurant, Alex helped to pull a chair and the two ordered several choices of breakfast. Their food arrived and Hazel heard her stomach growled. After sampling the dumpling soup, Hazel had to admit that the food in the restaurant was indeed tasted good.

"Last time, you mentioned that as your boyfriend, I should treat your friends to a meal," Alex said. "Have you decide on the date yet?"

Hezel thought about her roommates' discussion a while ago. "Un. Will you be free next Wednesday?"

"I'm free." He did not have to check on his schedule to know that he would be free for Hazel. Anyway, his main purpose to stay in B City was to accompany Hazel.

"Then, I will tell the girls to get ready and pick a place to have a meal."

Alex smiled before he helped to pick up a steamed bun and placed it on Hazel's plate.

Unbeknownst to them, someone from Hazel's class saw them together and had snapped a few pictures of the couple together.
