Chapter 42: Is it enduring love or heartlessness

Jack sneered, "Anna, it's been a while, why are you so talkative now?"

Anna shrugged as if she couldn't hear his sarcasm, "Haven't I always been like this, Jack?"

Hazel quickly glanced at Jack and saw his impatient expression. Although she felt a little disappointed, she still couldn't help but pull Anna's arm ans signal her to stop talking.

But Anna ignored her, "Hazel, what's your relationship with him? What's wrong with him accompanying you to buy clothes?" She looked at Jack again and blinked her eyes with a smile, "Jack, or is it that you can't bear to spend the money?"

Jack's eyes were cold and he stared at Hazel who remained silent. He suddenly felt disgusted.

He had suspected that this woman was deliberately following him and letting Anna say these things. Now it seemed that his guess was not wrong at all.

He didn't want to deal with them anymore, so he handed the card that hadn't been put into his wallet to Hazel, "I don't have time to argue with you. Aren't you here to buy things? Take it!"

Looking at the extra card in front of her, Hazel blinked her eyes twice and was still a little in disbelief. They had bought things together before, of course, most of the time he paid. But now they were in this kind of relationship, and he actually...

Although she knew that he might be doing this just to follow his grandfather's wishes and not because he really wanted to buy things for her, she still couldn't help feeling happy.

Her heart was warm, and she always felt that if they continued like this, their relationship would slowly improve.

"Don't want it?" Jack raised his eyebrows slightly when she didn't take the card,a s if he was about to change his mind.

Anna was afraid that eh would change his mind, so she quickly too the card and handed it to Hazel, "Of course we want it. Jack, you are really generous, you can go now."

After parting with Jack, Anna dragged Hazel to the fifth floor while patting her chest, "Oh my god! If it wasn't for my self control, I might have been frozen to death b Jack just now. If you hadn't told me before, I would have doubted if he was the same Jack I knew before."

Hazel's mind was still a bit muddled, and the card in her hand was light, but she felt heavy. However, she felt contradictory and light at the same time.

Finally, it was Anna who made the decision and chose a long, backless, bright red dress that was simple yet elegant. When Hazel tried it on, it accentuated her fair skin and showcased her figure, making it hard for anyone to take their eyes off her.

"This is the one!" Anna exclaimed, satisfied with her choice as she looked at Hazel in the mirror.

"But, isn't it a bit too revealing?" Hazel was hesitant about the backless design that left her entire back exposed, from her neck down to her waist. She wondered if the people from Jack family would disapprove.

"Come on," Anna roller her eyes. "It's the modern era. Besides, you look amazing in it. "It's simply stunning. Trust me."

Although the store wasn't an international brand, it was still well-known in their circle, and the price tag reflected that.

As Hazel looked at the label, she hesitated. "Is it too expensive?"

Anna glared at her. "You never used to be this indecisive, sister. And besides, it' Jack's money. He's loaded and own't even notice this small amount. it's better to spend it on you than to let him give it to someone else right? You're the main one here! And he even gave you his card.Don't you want to enjoy the perks of being his wife?"

Hazel remained silent.

"Oh, I almost forgot about the necklace. You should have him give it to you directly tomorrow at the party. It'll be more romantic that way don't you think?" Anna laughed.

Back at Rose villa, Hazel doubts disappeared. She and Anna had been best friends for years, and although they had different personalities,their tastes and preferences wee similar.

She actually loved the dress from the bottom of her heart, and the fact that it was purchased with Jack's card made her even happier. Although it was a small joy,it lingered in her heart and made her feel light and happy.

After changing into more casual clothes, she hurried downstairs, Time was running out, and she had to make every second count.

"Madam, are you going out so late?"

Hazel smiled and nodded, "Yes. I have something to do. I may come back very late tonight. You can rest first, no need to wait for me."

As soon as she left, she called Anna. "Anna I need to prepare for a party tonight and I might need some help. Can you come and assist me?"

"Isn't the party tomorrow?" Anna asked on the phone.

"I have to work tomorrow, so tonight is better. Besides, I have already called the hotel,and they will wait for me."

"Some people are feeling amorous, aren't they?"

"I'll send you the location, please come quickly."

Hazel was busy preparing for the party at the hotel, while Jack was chatting with Noah in a private room in a bar.

"Tomorrow is your birthday," Noah looked at him, "Are you going to celebrate with Hazel?"

Jack lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Didn't you say that your grandfather already had plans for you? Besides, just now when you went to the bathroom, I saw a message on your phone saying that you spent so much on a stunning beauty. Did you really spend that much money just to go the bathroom? And it was a woman's clothe. Since Ashley hasn't come back,who could be using your card?"

Looking at Jack's silent expression, Noah teased him, "Oh, oh, oh, who was it that spoke harshly before? And now, just a few days later, you're already giving her your bank card?"

Jack's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his face was not pretty. 'What do you know?" I fit weren't for Anna, he wouldn't even bother with Hazel, let alone give her his bank card. But it didn't matter,she was now using his surname, so buying a piece of clothing was nothing.

well I don't know," Noah smiled. "But I think it's good this way. You said you were going to see Ashley, but now you won't probably go, right?"

Jack didn't hesitate at all. "I'll leave after my birthday. The ticket has already been booked."

Noah was taken aback."You're still going?"

"I've already made plans with Ashley, Besides, I need to go check on her. She's alone over there, and I'm worried."

Hearing this, Noah shook the glass in his hand and said with some emotions,"Jack, I don't know whether to call you faithful or heartless."

Jack smiled lightly,but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. "Whether faithful or heartless, the old Jack is already dead."
