My Sister-In-Law Is My Mate!?! - Chapter 194

“Was this really an act or are you still upset about the death of your sister?” Alex could not help but ask when they finally sat down in the carriage.

Instead of the coachman, Alex ordered Daisy to ride the carriage so that they were not wary of the presence of a third person before speaking their minds.

Hazel, who was staring out of the window all this time, turned to look at him. The image of his body covered with blood of Amelia, and a piece of her body on his mouth flashed in front of her eyes.

It would be a lie if she would say that she was not a least bit affected but did she blame him? No! If he would not have killed Amelia, then she would have tried to kill Hazel again!

She had already killed her in her past life and even tried to kill her twice this time! So, it was better that she was killed.

“No! I understand that it was necessary! But I wanted to know the truth before she got killed!“ Hazel once again took her gaze away from the man and started looking out of the window. She was looking lost in her thoughts that Alex bit his lips. He did not know how to convince her further.

“What have you planned for the palace! I thought we were going to stay in the ministry and my brother would handle the mess there!” he did not want her to go there since he can not accompany her there!

He wanted to protect her but he could not and that made him irritated!

“They would have been suspicious of us then! It would be quite odd that I did not leave to support my family even when I came to know that my sister died!

Do not worry, I know how to handle them too!”

“But what if your mother accused you in front of everyone! Then the hard work you have done to put the doubt on the duke would go to waste!”

She raised a brow when she heard him and then a cold smirk formed on her lips,

“Are you still worried about me, Alex? Did you not say that you have accepted my decision?” her eyes were challenging but her whole face had turned cold as if she was mocking him, but the man did not seem to be affected by it.

His face still had that warm glow and shine when he looked at her that confused her.

Had she gone crazier to keep blaming both of them when he was looking not a least bit affected! He was only worried about her! And she?

“That did not mean that I did not care for you! You are still part of the family. You are my sister in law!” she snorted at his choice of words. He was knowingly trying to rile her up by those words!

“Then you should trust me too! Do not worry, I have a solution for everything!” He raised a brow but she did not say another word as she stayed lost in her thoughts.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the palace. Daisy jumped from her place and opened the door for them.

“Did you do what I asked you to do?” daisy nodded her head with confidence,

“Yes, my lady! Do not worry! I have arranged everything perfectly!” a triumphant smile formed on the face of hazel when she heard so and patted the shoulder of the girl.

“Good work! If things go as I have planned. I will surely reward you for your hard work!” Daisy just bowed her head and said nothing as Hazel walked in under the curious gaze of Hazel who was still following her.

“Are you coming in with me?” She had thought that he would leave once they would reach the palace since he was still not disclosing his identity as Richard’s brother in front of anyone.

“I am your aide! Your assistant! I will  follow you everywhere. Especially when you are not in your sound mind!” he replied as a matter of fact!

He would have chosen any post to work with her and over serve her! Why did she think she had chosen the post of an aide if it would not help her in being with her!.

Hazel just shook her head at the two faced man and closed her eyes. But when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with unshed tears.

She took the bottle of water from the carriage and created drops of tear on her cheeks with a lot of old stains.

She had rubbed her whole face moist with it to look like she had been crying for hours now.

Once she was done, she took hurried steps towards the room as if she had come running all the way to the ministry to here.

Listening to the sound of heavy footsteps, many turned to look in her direction but she did not halt to greet any of them. As if they all were indivisible in her blurry eyes that were full of tears.

“Mother! Father! How did this happen!?” She came running towards her so-called mother and hugged her with all her might.

Diana was stunned for a second but then her heart filled with rage! She could not believe that the girl who was responsible for the death of her daughter had the audacity to hug her in front of everyone!

“Get away from me!” she jerked hazel away with a strong push and glared at the girl. “What are you even doing here? Did you not feel any shame after killing my daughter? You have the audacity to come here and hug me to gain false sympathy?

Do you think I am a fool like any of them to believe in your false tears! You are just like your mother, a bunch of lies! I wasted all my life treating you like my own, thinking you will learn!”
