Chapter 21: Am I Not Beautiful?
When Raina Lowell was hospitalized, Aiden Xavier wrapped up his business in Freyburg within a day and rushed back, leaving the follow-up work for his secretary.
Hazel Hawthorne left the hospital and went straight home. Now that Aiden Xavier was back, she was no longer needed to look after Raina Lowell. Besides, she was terrible at taking care of people, so it was a welcome break.
If she’d really had to stay with Raina Lowell for three days, one of them would have gone insane.
Nothing was more pleasant or relaxing than being in her own home. Hazel returned and drew a hot bath, placing her phone on the small side table and pouring herself a glass of red wine.
Watching her laptop and sipping her wine, she was as comfortable as could be, completely unaffected by the image of a lovey-dovey Aiden Xavier and Raina Lowell.
However, as she closed her eyes to meditate, she suddenly recalled a very strange and uncharacteristic detail.
Raina Lowell had gotten sick, and Aiden Xavier had rushed back overnight. Logically, no matter what Raina said, Aiden should have blamed Hazel. After all, he had entrusted Raina to her care.
From what she knew of Aiden Xavier, the man was vindictive and sought immediate revenge. Anyone who crossed him met a terrible end, and touching his things was the same as crossing him personally.
’And wasn’t Raina Lowell just one of Aiden Xavier’s possessions?’
Hazel Hawthorne was so lost in thought that she nearly passed out from soaking in the bathtub for too long.
When she stood up, she felt light-headed and nearly collapsed. Thankfully, she grabbed the nearby sink to steady herself, standing there for a long moment until she recovered.
Aiden Xavier wouldn’t come looking for her at night without a reason. In their three years of marriage, Hazel Hawthorne had rarely seen him at home.
But tonight, when she walked out of the bathroom, she saw an uninvited guest sitting in her room. The shock almost made her hand slip and loosen the bath towel wrapped around her body.
"Aiden Xavier, what are you doing here?" Hazel Hawthorne clutched the towel tightly, terrified it would fall and expose her.
