When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Who Leaked It?

-------------------------------------

When the sun rose again, Hazel Hawthorne was back to her old self. Her attitude toward Aiden Xavier had returned to one of polite detachment, and they treated each other with the distance of courteous strangers.

Hazel Hawthorne appeared in the living room, fully dressed. Aiden Xavier was already up and ready, sitting at the dining table with a newspaper. He gave Hazel a brief glance and asked casually, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Not bad." Hazel Hawthorne sat down and began to eat the sandwich in front of her with gusto. Since Aiden Xavier didn’t bring up the news about them circulating online, she didn’t ask about it either.

"I’m off to the office." Hazel Hawthorne pushed her chair back, stood up slowly, and walked to the door without so much as a glance at Aiden Xavier. Just as she reached it, she suddenly spoke again. "Have you figured out how you’re going to handle the situation with Raina Lowell?"

"Mmm." Aiden Xavier watched her retreating back. She hadn’t even looked back. This was a world away from the Hazel he’d seen last night; it was as if the previous night had been nothing more than a delusion of his.

It only proved that she was still the same Hazel Hawthorne he had always known.

Not long after Hazel Hawthorne left, Aiden Xavier headed out as well. He was currently at the center of a media storm, and every reporter and paparazzo wanted to get the scoop from him, but his whereabouts were not so easily tracked.

When Aiden Xavier arrived at the office, his secretary quickly handed him the file that had been compiled overnight. "Mr. Xavier." He glanced at Aiden cautiously, as if afraid he would fly into a rage upon seeing the documents.

To the secretary’s surprise, Aiden Xavier flipped through the file, his eyes scanning it rapidly. But upon seeing a familiar name, he immediately snapped the folder shut and said coldly, "You can leave now."

The secretary didn’t dare to linger. With Aiden Xavier, the calmer he appeared, the more serious the situation.
