Neil glanced at the clock before he looked at Hazel again. "Did you had dinner with Alex and his family?"
Earlier, his wife had told him that Hazel would not join them for dinner as she will be having dinner at the He's residence. He did not think that Hazel would return home earlier.
"Hmm…" Hazel nodded. The grip on the phone in her hand tightened. She was reminded that her uncle had seen her sneaking out last night and was a little embarrassed about it. Then, in the afternoon, she had run into her uncle at Alex's office.
Would her uncle think that she was too sticky to Alex?
Neil stretched his hand and patted her hair gently. "Then, go on and take a bath. Have an early rest."
Hazel was surprised when her uncle did not say anything to her. Seeing that her uncle was about to turn around, Hazel tugged at his hand.
He turned around and looked at her inquiringly. "What's wrong?"
