When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 112: Who Cares About Love?

Besides driving Hazel Hawthorne to work, Aiden Xavier would also come to the company to pick her up after he was done with his own work. After several consecutive days of this, Hazel noticed that Aiden was acting more and more strangely. Normally, since they were husband and wife, there was nothing wrong with Aiden driving her to and from work every day.

But Aiden Xavier had never treated Hazel this way before. Besides, their marriage had always been in name only—a fact they both knew well. It was a marriage of convenience, an act for show, so there was no need to pretend to be an intimate couple in front of others.

That day, Hazel Hawthorne left work as usual. She and Sharon Winters had just reached the company entrance. Since Aiden Xavier had driven her to work that morning, Hazel hadn’t brought her own car. Just as she was about to call a taxi home, Sharon pointed to a black Bentley parked up ahead.

"Isn’t that Aiden Xavier’s car with the insane license plate?" Lately, hanging out with Hazel, Sharon had seen her fair share of insane license plates and rare luxury cars, giving her a renewed, crystal-clear understanding of just how rich Aiden Xavier was, and just how extravagant the lives of the wealthy were.

The cars in their garage were like a common person’s collection of toy cars—he could just pick and drive whichever one he wanted. Every single one was a head-turner on the road, guaranteed to attract everyone’s attention.

Hazel followed Sharon’s gaze and saw it was indeed the same car Aiden had used to drive her to work that morning. But she hadn’t received any calls or messages from him today, so she had subconsciously assumed he was too busy to pick her up.

It wasn’t her place to ask, and she didn’t want to trouble him any further. She had already made a decision in her heart: starting tomorrow, she would drive herself to and from work no matter what. ’This daily routine of waiting for Aiden to pick me up is truly a hassle.’

"I told you Aiden Xavier would come get you, but you didn’t believe me. I should have made a bet with you." Sharon rolled her eyes. "I just don’t get why you seem so resistant to him."

Hazel remained silent. After saying goodbye to Sharon, she walked ahead.

She saw Finn Quinn get out of the driver’s seat and stand respectfully before her. "Young Madam, the Young Master is still in a meeting, so he sent me to pick you up from work."
