Female Novel
Chapter 1935
Hazel hesitated when she noticed that Cindy hadn’t argued against her statement at all. “Do you reallyknow him? Do you know his family?”
Cindy’s gaze landed on her mother’s phone. “You saw the news. Don’t you know that I was there withhim when his father passed away previously? I know everything about his family. I was there for all ofit.”
Hazel wasn’t aware of the events that Cindy just mentioned. She wasn’t good at searching for newsonline, so she had just tapped on the first article that she saw. The one she read was about how sweetIan and Cindy were as a couple, and she didn’t know anything about Ian’s father’s passing.
“Ah… What about his mom? What’s his mom like?” Hazel asked.
Cindy considered this question for a moment before she picked out some unimportant things aboutAurora to tell her mother. Cindy told Hazel that Aurora was a nice person, that Ian was nice, that Ian’sfather had left him a huge inheritance that came with a sum of money, property, cars, and stocks. “Ianand I could not work for the rest of our lives, and we’d still have enough to live comfortably,” Cindyadded at the end.
Hazel immediately felt more reassured upon hearing what Cindy said. “That’s great. I feel less worried,then,” she uttered with a smile.
Cindy, on the other hand, felt rather uneasy after saying what she said. The fact that Hazel looked sorelaxed and pleased after hearing about Ian’s wealth made Cindy more annoyed than ever.
Hazel held Cindy’s hand as she continued speaking. “I feel so much better after hearing that you’reable to get married to a good man. You’ve suffered when you were young, so I really hope that you getmarried to a good man so that you can enjoy the rest of your life in peace. If Ian is able to give that toyou, then there’s nothing else that I can ask for.”
Hazel phrased her words in a kind manner, and Cindy frowned for a brief moment when she realizedwhat Hazel was trying to do. So, that’s why she mentioned all those concerns at the beginning. “Okay, Igot it,” Cindy uttered as she pulled her hand away and stood up. “You should get some rest. I’m goingto go to bed now.”
However, Cindy wasn’t sleepy at all. She stepped out of Hazel’s room and let out a sigh after shuttingthe door. She knew that she shouldn’t allow herself to be troubled by this matter—she had expectedthis after all.
Ian and Cindy spent the next two days in Cindy’s house. They spent most of their time at home on thefirst day, and Ian accompanied Cindy to visit her father’s grave on the second day. That night, theybooked flight tickets to leave early the next morning.
Throughout their two days at home, Hazel treated Cindy the usual way that she did. However, on thethird day, when Cindy was about to leave, Hazel clung onto Cindy’s hand and wailed while saying thatshe would miss Cindy. This wasn’t the first time Cindy had encountered such a matter.
Back when Cindy was still in school, she would go home during the holidays. At that time, Hazelwouldn’t pay much attention to her, but Hazel would always make it a point to cry when Cindy wasreturning back to school. Hazel would claim that she felt sorry for Cindy, and that she would miss her alot.
Cindy had seen the same thing happen one too many times—she didn’t feel much apart from disgusttoward her mother. Ian, who was watching from the side, seemed sorrier for Hazel. He glanced at themother-daughter pair with a rather thoughtful and sad look on his face. Cindy had no way of telling himthat it was all an act, so the most she could do was to ensure that she didn’t express any sarcasm onher face.
Once Hazel was done crying, Cindy and Ian got in the car and left. As the car drove off, Cindy glancedin the rearview mirror to see the main entrance of her house. Hazel didn’t even see them off to the frontdoor—she merely wailed and sobbed inside the house. She doesn’t even go all out with her acting,Cindy thought as she looked away and leaned against the seat. novelbin
