When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Find a White Moonlight of Her Own

Sharon Winters was startled by Aiden Xavier’s imposing presence, instinctively hiding behind Hazel Hawthorne. He looked strangely familiar, but right now, she was more worried about Raina Lowell’s condition, her hand clutching tightly to the corner of Hazel’s clothes.

Hazel Hawthorne glanced back and gave Sharon a reassuring smile before turning to face Aiden, who had rushed over. "Raina Lowell suddenly came here to cause trouble. I accidentally pushed her."

"Is that all?" Aiden didn’t believe Hazel. His suspicious gaze made Hazel let out a small, involuntary laugh despite the tense atmosphere.

"If you don’t believe me, then anything I say is pointless. You can just wait for Raina to wake up and ask her what happened." Hazel remained composed, her gaze frank. ’I didn’t do anything wrong. Besides, Raina was the one who started it.’

’Even if someone had to take the blame, the most I did was act in self-defense. And as for Sharon, I didn’t see her lift a finger.’

Hazel could tell from Aiden’s expression that he didn’t believe her, so she fell silent. She glanced at him coolly, meeting his gaze for a brief moment before nonchalantly looking away.

Aiden thought for a moment before asking, "Why did Raina come to bother you?"

"Why else would she come looking for me, if not because of you? It was the usual—asking when I’m going to divorce you, asking why I agreed to a divorce but haven’t gone through with it yet," Hazel said bluntly, not caring that Sharon was listening.

Hearing this, Sharon was completely stunned. She stood there dumbfounded, her eyes glued to Hazel.

’Hazel isn’t single? She’s married?’

Sharon glanced at Aiden Xavier a few more times, and then it hit her who he was. Her jaw dropped in utter astonishment.

’Hazel’s husband is Aiden Xavier!’
