Chapter 49: CRINGEY CONFESSION
"Are you a pig?" Laurel furrowed her brows when she saw how Hazel was eating two portions of lamb chop, which was cooked perfectly, because she was pregnant.
"I am pregnant, remember? I eat for two, and I don’t appreciate the name-calling," Hazel replied.
She drank her mineral water and put it down a little bit harshly; for a split second, Laurel could see a murderous intention in Hazel’s eyes, but it disappeared almost immediately, making her question what she saw.
"What is your end game? What do you want with Ranon?" Laurel didn’t beat around the bush. She was beautiful, and today she dyed her hair in blue color, which not many people could pull off but she did, and it looked perfect on her.
"I am serious with him." Hazel could lie through her teeth with no problem at all. She could be very convincing when she wanted to.
"Don’t try to lie to me."
"Why should I lie?" Hazel tilted her head. "Do you really think I want to be with him for money or fame? I know the Leighton family is one of the affluent families in this city, and so is mine. Without Ranon, I can live comfortably and fame has never been my thing. I have never been interested in appearing in public even though my father and brothers are well known in their respective industries."
Hazel needed to thank the original Hazel for keeping it low-key, and Laurel couldn’t dig deeper into her real motivation; even Ranon didn’t have any idea about it.
"I want to be with Ranon because I love him. I love him not because of his money or his fame. I love him for who he is as a person. I love him even if he were not a part of the Leighton family. Something about him feels so right, and we are right for each other. Have you ever fallen in love? If you had, you would know how strong my feelings for Ranon are. He is the best man that I have ever been with, and I would never find this kind of love in someone else."
