"What are you talking about?" All of a sudden, Hazel felt like things had happened so fast. "Are you even serious about saying that?"
She asked James to make sure he wasn't just poking fun at her, leaving her heart hoping it was true.
"I'm serious. However, you must be concerned with our age gap. I know you want to build your career, and I don't want to hinder reaching your dream. Also, I will be busy guarding Hailee, so I cannot date you often. We probably seldom meet."
"Why are you already thinking of all these issues?" asked Hazel. Now, she was frustrated. 'Do men think apprehensively before they enter a relationship, or was it just James? He is suddenly too straightforward now!'
Hazel pulled herself back to her senses when James replied to her. She looked at him and keenly listened to every word that came out of his mouth. At that moment, she even knew the other side of James.
