Chapter 24 A Difficult Decision

• Five months had passed since Hazel and Theo began their journey together. Nothing had disrupted their closeness, and the bond they shared seemed to grow stronger. Hazel felt more comfortable living in Theo's house, especially since her aunt, Ellena, who often caused tension, was no longer around. This house finally felt like a peaceful place for her.
• That morning, as usual, Hazel was preparing breakfast on the dining table. Hallen, their housemaid, had already finished most of the preparations. Hazel just needed to arrange the food neatly on the table.
• Meanwhile, Theo, who had woken up earlier, approached the dining table with light steps. "I was looking for you earlier, turns out you're already here," he said with a warm smile that always managed to melt Hazel's heart.
