Chapter 298 Legally And Rightfully

The headlights of the car flicked off, and the door on the driver's side swung open. A devilishly handsome man stepped out of the car. Hazel's heart, once filled with sorrow, now seethed with anger. The sadness had been replaced by a burning hatred for the man who was supposed to protect her but had allowed her to suffer at the hands of his mistress. Hazel turned her gaze away, ignoring her husband as he strode urgently toward her.

Alexander left his manor the moment he heard that Hazel had refused to return home and had gone to her father's house. When he arrived there to bring her back, he was met with an unexpected and harsh reality-her family had not allowed her to stay and had sent her away. They had hoped the Duke would approve of their treatment of his "unwanted" wife, but instead, Alexander was furious. His rage surged as he confronted them, his voice cold with anger.

"You've abandoned my wife at this hour, in the cold?" he snapped. "You will learn what happens when you disrespect her, and me." And he didn't waste a moment staying there.

Knowing his proud and stubborn wife would never return home without a fight, Alexander quickly left in search of her. He instructed his men to find her as soon as possible, his anxiety growing with each passing minute. He scanned the roads intently, his mind racing, and drove a few kilometres away from Hazel's parental home when, finally, he saw a delicate figure sitting at a bus stop. His heart skipped a beat.

Without a second thought, Alexander swerved his car onto the wrong side of the road in his desperation to reach her.

When Alexander saw Hazel's tear-stained face and her trembling body, overcome by the cold, his heart twisted with guilt and sorrow. Without a second thought, he slammed the car door shut and rushed toward her. But as soon as Hazel spotted him, she turned her face away in defiance. His heart sank a little, but there was a strange comfort in her reaction. Stubborn girl, he thought with a faint, reluctant smile.

He shrugged off his overcoat with swift movements and wrapped it around her petite frame. "You're freezing," he muttered, his voice low with concern.

"Fuck off!" Hazel cursed, her voice sharp as she immediately shrugged off his coat and threw it aside.

Alexander let out a frustrated sigh but didn't give up. He picked up the coat and draped it over her once more. This time, she tried to push it off again, but he placed a firm hand on her shoulder, stopping her.

"It's cold, Hazel," Alexander said in his deep, authoritative voice. "Let's go home."

Hazel's anger flared as she placed her small hands against her husband's firm torso and shoved him away with all her strength. "Don't touch me. And don't pretend you care," she snapped.
