บท 139: United In the Fight For Love [II]

They chatted for some time, and then Mandy stood up to head toward the washroom.

Hazel's heart skipped a beat when their eyes met. "Hanson, why are you here?"

Hanson gazed at her without blinking, and his eyes were full of longing. That morning, he received a call from Valery, who told him that he could see Hazel at two o'clock in the afternoon. He instantly dropped all of his prior commitments and rushed to the cafe. Valery expressly forbade him to mention that it was her who told him Hazel's whereabouts, so he invented a reason to rationalize his presence in the establishment.
