Chapter 38: DINNER AT LEIGHTON FAMILY HOUSE
Ema looked confused when she heard Hazel’s confession about her family, which only let her know she had assumed that she came to Ranon for his support in order to help her family.
To be honest, the Rose family could be burnt in fire, and she wouldn’t even have a shred of pity. They were nothing to her, and after the way they treated the real Hazel, she thought they deserved that kind of fate. She would call that karma.
Ema didn’t expect this answer and how their conversation turned out, so she couldn’t find a word for a moment while Hazel enjoyed her juice.
"You need to try this," Hazel said. "It moistens your skin, and it will be good for your digestion." Suggesting that Ema might be constipated.
Ema was not pleased with the way Hazel talked to her, but she was distracted when Hazel drank her drink; she used her left hand, where she showed off her ring on her ring finger, which obviously caught Ema’s attention. Seeing that, Hazel positioned the way she held her glass so her ring would glint under the lights.
"Nice ring," Ema commented through her gritted teeth. She was still smiling, though.
Only then did Hazel realize how this woman felt about this entire situation. All this time, she didn’t need to be worried, because Ranon had never been with anyone, and as far as Hazel knew, she was the first woman that Ranon introduced to the public.
With her being here in this house, it was enough proof that Ranon was serious with this relationship, and Ema was not happy about this.
Interesting.
"Yes, Ranon proposed to me." Hazel showed off the ring. "I asked a simple one, but he made a fuss and said that I deserved the world. The picture of us in the auction was a little bit of a hassle." Hazel shrugged her shoulders. "He said that’s how he showed his love for me to the world."
Ema was speechless when she heard that. She was sure that was not how Ranon usually behaved, but she was saved from giving a response because at that time, Ranon entered the room, pushing his father’s wheelchair.
