When His Eyes Opened (Avery and Elliott)

Hazel also took out a mooncake and took a bite: “Lucas knows I like him. I’ve made it very obvious.”
Mrs. Hogan smiled and said, “Then what did he say?”
Hazel: “Auntie, I am from Aryadelle. Aryadelle is quite far from Thopiavelle.”
The smile on Mrs. Hogan’s face froze immediately, and she understood the meaning of Hazel’s words.
Mrs. Hogan: “Is it impossible for you to marry in Thopiavelle?”
Hazel nodded: “My parents won’t let me marry here. And I don’t want to leave my parents either. They treat me very well.”
Mrs. Hogan expressed her understanding: “I can see that you are always smiling and have a good personality. You can tell that
the family is very happy at a glance.”
Hazel: “Well. I came to Thopiavelle this time. They were actually not willing to let me come, but I insisted on coming, and they
didn’t stop me. But they will definitely not let me settle here.”
“If you live well in Aryadelle, there is no need to settle in Thopiavelle. Although I have never been abroad, I know that Aryadelle
is very developed.” Mrs. Hogan sighed, “I don’t have a few days to live, and Lucas and his father don’t have a good relationship.
In fact, Lucas can live in Aryadelle with you... If he likes you, you can take him to Aryadelle.”
Hazel’s eyes lit up immediately: “Auntie, do you think he will come with me?”
Mrs. Hogan: “Would you like to take him to Aryadelle?”
Hazel didn’t even think about it and nodded directly: “Yes! But I think he probably won’t be willing. After all, this is his hometown.
Although he has a bad relationship with his father, he has friends here, and he has opened a company now. If he goes to
Aryadelle with me, his company will have to be closed. This will be too much sacrifice for me.”
Mrs. Hogan: “If two people like each other, it’s normal to make some sacrifices! Hazel, I really like you, if only you could be my
daughter-in-law.”
Hazel: “Auntie, there is still a big problem between me and him... My parents are very strict with my spouse selection. Although I
like Lucas very much, he has to go through my parents so that I can be with him.”
Mrs. Hogan: “Okay! I don’t know if I can wait until the day you two are together.”

Hazel: “When I return to Aryadelle this time, I will have a good talk with my parents. Please wait for my good news.”
“Okay!”
Hazel: “Auntie, don’t tell Lucas what we are talking about. Although he knows that I like him, we haven’t talked about it so directly
before!”
Mrs. Hogan laughed out loud: “Okay, I won’t say anything.”
Back at the hotel, Hazel bought a plane ticket back home.
After buying the ticket, she took a screenshot of the message and sent it to Lucas, with a text: [Boss, I’m asking for leave to go
back to Aryadelle for the holidays.]
After Lucas saw the news, he replied: [You mean you returned it?]
Hazel: [What? Don’t you want to see me again?]
Lucas changed the subject: [What festival is it?]
Hazel: Mid-Autumn Festival. Thopiavelle does not have this festival. When I come back, I will bring you delicious moon cakes
from our country.]
Lucas: [I don’t like sweets.]
Hazel: [There are other flavors.]
After a while, Lucas sent another message: [A gift for you.]
Hazel excitedly dialed Lucas’s number directly.
Lucas answered quickly.
Hazel: “Boss, what gift do you want to give me?”
Lucas satirized: “Are you so happy?”
Hazel: “Of course! You, a straight steel man, can even give gifts to people! It’s like a cycad tree blooming, how rare!”

Lucas: “...”
