365 Days To Love-Chapter 67 - SIXTY-SEVEN:Hazel Is A Real Gem.

"My baby!’’Avery shouted as she moved over to the two who came inside the room with a solemn look on their faces.

Hazel forced a smile on her face,while approaching Mrs.Knight who pulled her in for a bone crushing hug.

She couldn’t lie,she missed her,in as much as they did bad to her,she just didn’t want to conclude things on her own until she hears from her side of the story.

"You worked hard although it wasn’t today you were asked to bring her back"Avery turned to face his son who had a grumpy look on his face,he ignored them amd left the sitting room,but a sigh escaped his lips which they heard and that made everyone know that he wasn’t in a good mood.

But did they care?

No!

Avery rolled her eyes at him before tugging at Hazel’s hand,dragging the girl to come sear down for a bit.

She ordered the maid to get refreshment for Hazel,which she smiled at Avery’s courtesy,she looked around searching for Grandpa and that was when Avery opened up. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"The house can be boring once everyone leaves,but don’t worry,they know they are coming back and we are celebrating your comeback at dinner tonight"she said lightly pinching her cheeks while Hazel nodded her head.

It wasn’t about having a dinner celebration in her name,she wasn’t that easy to fool,it was all about accepting their mistake that they wronged her and needed to apologize but with the way Avery was behaving she was far from apologizing to her.

Avery could see through the girl’s facade that she wasn’t that comfortable and happy towards her like the last time,she cleared her throat drawing Hazel’s attention back to her.

She held her hand in hers,stroking it lightly in a loving manner which made Hazel know that she was up to something.

"Ma’am.."Hazel said as she tried removing her hands but she held it firmly,her heart breaking at what she just called her.

Avery knew that she wasn’t worthy to be called her mother-in-law,she didn’t check up on her these days, her son made her life a living hell,but she couldn’t really blame her,she was busy trying to get the rumours to die down before it escalates further.

She had wanted to meet with her privately and apologize about her son’s behaviour but she had an emergency meeting in china.

This morning,she had arrived back from China after travelling for an important meeting. She wanted to be the first to see her and talk to her before the other family members because she knew how hurt she was.

She trained her son up to be a good and loving soul but seeing him these few days made her heart break because this wasn’t the son she raised,she had taught him although he didn’t have a sister that women were meant to be treasured with utmost care,but Zaiden wasn’t complying enough.

If anything she knew he wasn’t happy that he was going to settle down with someone like Hazel,but what he didn’t know was that there was no one like Hazel.

The girl was everything she wanted in a daughter,she had grown up to the fact that the world tends to adhere more and fancy those at the top of the food chain. Growing up,she had a lot of fake friends who were only there for the money and influence.

She knew to what extent girls would go just to get her son’s attention but Hazel wasn’t moved by his fame or looks,if anything she had noticed the girl wasn’t on good terms with her son.

Then,why did she agree on coming back?

That’s the question which had been trying to get an answer on,she knew the two hated each other but the girl still persisted to get married to him,for what reason?

Hazel was the perfect choice for her son,he had this wrong initiative towards females that they were only there for his money but she prayed with time,he would come to understand that there were real gems out there.

And his fianceè was worth it.

Hazel is a real gem.

She made the right choice.

"I know that I may sound like the biggest fool for apologizing about my son’s behaviour at the party and also about negligence towards you these past few days,I.."

"It’s okay,I’m fine"Hazel cut the woman shut,she didn’t want to feel bad that a woman like her, a knight was apologizing to her ,a mere pauper!

It was really an eyesore if people were here but the woman wasn’t willing to let go,she refused and continued.

"I’m really sorry and I hope you find s place in your heart to forgive this bad mother and her dickhead of a son"

Hazel burst out laughing at her words,Mrs.Knights was such a lovely lady,she didn’t imagine that she would prove her wrong about them by apologizing about what they did.

Her son would never do that but the mother was willing to do so on behalf of him.she felt relieved at the fact that at least,someone knew her worth in the house and tried to make her happy before she finally got to stay with them.

She adores Mrs.Knight.

" I Could never stay angry at you"She said, squeezing her hands before she hugged her,her tears leaking which she cleaned before someone walks in on them this way.

Not that she cared,but she didn’t want her son seeing her like this,their discussion outside was already living rent free in her head and also his reaction to what she said made her heartbroken bit she didn’t want to show it.

She didn’t know when the words escaped from her lips but she’s glad she didn’t tell him the truth he was asking from her,but it felt heartbreaking that he was not feeling that way towards her.

She had misunderstood him,this wasn’t how they were the very first time they got to know each other,at first,he couldn’t seem to keep himself back them at the shopping mall,he smiled at her back then at the car when they argued about the radio but it all changed upon the arrival of the model.

She didn’t know what happened between them that made him come back for her when he had someone he loved already,but she’s no fool,she knew something happened between the two.

He didn’t believe in love,but she’s going to change his perspective about that. Firstly,she needed to clear the impression he had on her that she was a whore. He despised her a lot for that word.

"Are you hungry,I could have lunch set up for you"She was drawn back by Avery’s voice,forgetting really soon that she was still in the sitting room with her.

"No,I just need to rest,I’m a little bit tired"She declined.

"Are you sick?"Avery asked concerned, touching her temple which made Hazel’s heart skip at such motherly concern.

If every mother waxi like her,she would be with her birth parents,but they didn’t find her worthy enough and have her abandoned in front of the orphanage.

"What’s wrong,tell me?"Avery urged on,cupping her cheeks as she noticed the girl’s changed mood.

Does she not want to get married to her son again?

Is she backing out now?

Numerous thoughts crossed her mind as to why the girl’s countenance changed but she was worried she got the feeling that Zaiden might have caused this,so she noticed the look on their faces when they walked inside.

"Nothing’s wrong with me,I’m just... happy"She said hugging Avery who reciprocated by patting her back, whatever it is that was disturbing her,she prayed that she gets to talk to her about it,so she could help.

She felt a tug at her chet seeing her this way,she looked sad,she preferred the happy Hazel,she radiated sunshine but this time there was no sunshine,she was moody.

"Then I will be in my room"Hazel stood up, taking her handbag that was lying on the arm of the couch.

"About that.."Avery wanted to talk but she decided not to say what she wanted to say seeing Hazel’s mood,it’s not the right time to break the news to her,maybe after dinner"okay,see you later"she smiled at her,who left for her room.

Hazel climbed the stairs as she arrived at the door of her room,looking at her side to look at Zaiden’s room,she looked away immediately trying not to think if he was still inside or had he left for work.

She was in no mood for him right now,she had far more important things disturbing her.

Why does she feel this way whenever she talks about her parents?

She kept her bag on top of the bed,admiring her room which she loved the very first time she saw it,her eyes drifting to the bathroom and remembering the drama that comes with taking her bath in the complicated bathroom.

Her lips formed a slight grin when she remembered that day,the very day Zaiden saw her stark naked.

She remembered he didn’t bring up the topic after what she did, maybe he didn’t like her body that’s why he didn’t bring the topic up.

Seriously Christiana?

She waved the thoughts,falling on top of her bed,the thoughts about her parents long forgotten because she fell into a deep sleep.

With the hope that things were turning out for good,right?
