Alan, on the other hand, fell in love with Nora as he got along with her and knew her more.
Only today did he dare to tell Nora the secret in his heart.
"I did not expect that Alan is still a pure man." Nora chuckled with joke.
"Because I've been maintaining my virginity for you." It was hard to believe that Alan hadn't been in a
relationship before.
"It seems that you are good at saying sweet words." Nora was skeptical of him.
"I learn them from the TV show to chase after you," Alan laughed. "I'm serious about chasing you."
Nora looked at him slightly sideways. "So, I'm your first love?"
Alan put his hand over Nora's mouth and pressed his lips against Nora's ear, saying in a low voice,
"Dear, just keep this between you and me. Please do me a favor and don't tell anyone else."
They were very close to each other, and looked very intimate.
Hazel and Oca happened to see the scene.
At the request of her elders, Hazel took Oca to walk around her home and get familiar with the Way
Family. When they came to the garden, they saw the couple.
"Oca," Hazel said as she looked at her brother, "See how affectionate my brother and Nora is. He
spoils Nora too much."
"You know what? They have been married for five years, but they still haven't had a baby. The reason
is that Nora doesn't want to have children, and my brother listens to her."
"However, whether to have a baby is not their own affair. It is related to the inheritance of the Way
family, even the Cooper family. Nora is the only daughter in the Cooper family, so Nora's children are
descendants of the Cooper family."
"Both my grandfather and my parents have told them that they should give birth to a child as soon as
possible. However, in order to prevent Nora from having children, my brother supports Nora against the
pressure of the elders and takes all the responsibility for not wanting to have a child."
"My brother loves Nora badly; don't you think so? My brother is used to be willful, so sometimes others
think that he is a child who has not grown up, but in my mind, my brother has grown up because he has
learned how to protect the one he loves most. This is what a mature man looks like."
"So, I really envy that Nora can marry my brother, who loves her so wholeheartedly that he would
rather not have children for her."
Hazel's eyes were full of envy for Nora. In fact, what she just said was to tell Oca that she hoped she
was lucky and that Oca would be the one who loved and protected her.
"Hazel, you know my personality. If you have any doubts, I think you should reconsider our relationship.
Whatever decision you make, I will respect you," Oca put it very gently.
What he meant was that he might not be able to do what Alan did, and if she didn't want to be with him,
he wouldn't force her to.
Hazel was smart and she knew what Oca meant.
"Oca, I didn't mean anything." Hazel felt as if she had said too much and was upsetting Oca.
After all, Oca made it very clear what he was thinking before they decided to be together.
He said that love was not the most important thing in his life and he was not a man who would talk
much about love, so he would not give up other things for love. The reason he chose her was he took a
fancy on her and he felt Hazel was a suitable woman for him.
Of course, in this relationship, he would try his best to treat her well, but at the same time, he would
hold the bottom line.
Hazel knew that Oca was a rational man and he pretty knew what he was doing.
She also knew that he was not the kind of man who would be crazy about love, so she was probably
hurting more in this relationship.
But what could she do? She loved him more than he loved her, so she could only compromise to
maintain this love.
"Therefore, you don't have to test me." Oca continues, "I've always thought you are the most decent
woman I've ever met, and that's why I'm willing to take a longer relationship with you. Hazel, don't let
me down."
"Oca, I'll watch my language in the future so that I wouldn't trouble you." Hazel smiled apologetically.
"There are certain things I will keep them to myself, and I know what to say and what not to say. Shall
we just turn the page this time?"
"Sure." Oca agreed readily and didn't bother much. "Go somewhere else," he said.
"Well."
When they were about to leave, Alan, who had spotted them, called out, "Hazel, Mr. Moore."
Alan was so thoughtless that he walked up to them with Nora.
Hazel stepped toward them, Oca followed behind, and the four met.
Nora felt a little uncomfortable and she looked at the flowers, trying to divert her attraction.
"Congratulations to Hazel and Mr. Moore. Well, shall I change my address to Mr. Moore as my brother-
in-law?" Alan looked at Hazel mischievously.
Hazel blushed. "Oca and I just confirmed the relationship," she said. "There is a long way to go."
"Hazel, why are you blushing? Are you shy?" Alan was teasing her, "You've met the parents. That
draws the long way closer. Mr. Moore is Hazel's man, sooner or later, and it's closer to him my brother-
in-law. Honey, do you think so?"
Nora, being named, could only be involved in the matter.
She didn't raise her eyes, but answered with a nod.
Oca's eyes were so secretive that no one could see what he was thinking.
"Nora, you have to teach him some lessons. He's such a blabber." Hazel had no choice but to ask Nora
for help.
"Hazel, Alan wasn't wrong. He just congratulated you and Mr. Moore in advance. Don't take it to heart,"
Nora calmly replied. "Hazel, Alan and I will leave you and Mr. Moore alone. We have to go first."
Alan waved goodbye to Hazel and followed Nora into the house.
When Hazel saw they had left, she explained to Oca, "Don't take what my brother said to heart. He's
always joking."
"He is not wrong. Since I am willing to go back to the Way Family with you to establish a relationship, it
means that one day we will get married." Oca didn't take it to heart, "It's just an address," he said.
"There's no need to be concerned."
As Hazel listened to Oca's words, she felt warm and happy.
In fact, she knew that Oca was not good at expressing his feelings. He preferred to hide them in his
heart.
