When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 110: Figuring Out His Feelings

Aiden Xavier was not happy about Hazel Hawthorne endlessly praising Nathan Miller in front of him. She was practically counting off Nathan’s virtues to Aiden on her fingers. He was a petty man, especially when he saw Hazel laughing and talking with Nathan.

Hazel spoke with animated delight, which left a sour taste in Aiden Xavier’s mouth.

The car screeched to a halt. Seeing Hazel nearly get hurt, he was still worried. He was about to reach out and check if she was injured, but Hazel shoved his hand away before he could.

Hazel said angrily, "Aiden Xavier, are you so upset about me praising another man that you’re trying to murder me?"

Hearing this, Aiden’s face turned ashen with anger. He immediately denied it. "You’re overthinking things. If I murdered you, I’d be charged with a crime. You’re not worth it."

At his words, Hazel suddenly grinned and retorted, "Then what was that just now? Don’t tell me you weren’t annoyed that I was praising Nathan. You were upset. You were jealous, weren’t you?"

’Jealous?’ Aiden’s expression immediately went blank. ’It’s true I was unhappy when I heard you praising Nathan. But jealousy is for kids. How could I possibly do something like that? How could that possibly be happening to me?’

Seeing Aiden let out a cold laugh, Hazel pressed on, "If you weren’t jealous, then why did you have such a big reaction when you heard me praising Nathan?"

"I don’t get jealous," Aiden said in a low voice. He then started the engine and continued driving home.

Hazel stared intently at Aiden’s profile. Under the dim streetlights, his face was a play of light and shadow. Her vision blurred, and she couldn’t make out his expression, nor could she guess what he was truly thinking.

’They always say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but whenever I look into Aiden’s eyes, I still can’t see what’s in his heart. So, the truth is, eyes are not the windows to the soul.’
