Hazel was feeling very helpless.
Vanessa grew up with Isaac and the others, it was completely normal for her to be present at Grandpa Anderson’s birthday party. However, Hazel still thought Vanessa was very disturbed.
She would feel uncomfortable every time she saw Vanessa as if Vanessa was deliberately targeting her.
At the beginning of the banquet, people began to wish Grandpa Anderson a happy birthday. Sam accompanied him and handled it with ease.
Joshua brought two drinks and handed them to Hazel.
“Isn’t... Isn’t it wine?” Hazel asked anxiously.
She had made several jokes in front of Joshua, and now she would be scared almost every time she saw wi
“I don’t know, either…” she answered instinctively. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to get rid of them, but the women kept following right behind her.“How could you not know? Aren’t you the cousin of Mr. Denmark?”“Yeah, and Mr. Denmark is willing to take you with him as his companion. You must have a great relationship!”****Hazel had a headache and frustration watching these ladies persevering.“Sorry, I’m going to the bathroom.” Hazel was forced to make an excuse and ran off to the bathroom. Hazel let out a deep sigh of relief when she closed the door behind her. The ladies were so annoying
With the paternity test report in her hands, Hazel was going to tell Joshua. Vanessa looked at Hazel, her face flashing a triumphant smile.Noticing that Hazel was going to leave, Vanessa had a panic-stricken expression. She hurried to take the paternity test report away from Hazel. “Give it back to me! This is the surprise I want to give Joshua!”Vanessa’s panic made Hazel more skeptical. She asked with doubt, “I don’t think you want Joshua to see that, do you? If it is true, isn’t it the same whoever shows it to him?”“Give it back to me!” Vanessa shouted angrily.She quickly grabbed the report.Hazel furrowed her eyebrows slightly. The angrier Vanessa was, the more Haze
Joshua looked at the report in his hand, and his face darkened a little.The report was clearly a joke. He looked at the man who had just handed it to him, then recognized him, he was a reporter for a news website.In an instant, Joshua was worried and thought there had to be something wrong with this incident. The paternity test report was unshakable testimony, and a reporter happened to see the report.Presumably, this had been known to the media, who even might have prepared the press release before the incident ever happened.It was a trap, and it was targeting him.With the report around, no matter how he clarified the situation, others would still think Vanessa’s baby was his. If anything happened to Vanessa&rsquo
Shocked, Isaac slammed on the brakes and pulled over on the roadside.Then he asked incredulously. “What do you mean Vanessa is pregnant with Joshua’s baby? What did Joshua say?”“I don’t know.” Hazel looked down at her swollen fingers and said in a deep voice, “He said nothing.”“Nothing...” Isaac frowned. It was not like Joshua.Isaac couldn’t figure out what had happened for a few moments, he took time to ponder the situation before saying, “Hazel, I don’t think you should think too much. I’ve been friends with Joshua for years. Since he did not say that the baby in Vanessa’s stomach was his, that it mustn’t be his.”Hazel
“It saved me.” Hazel pulled a necklace with a charm out of her dress.She was still a little scared. But when she saw it, she was a little dispirited. Joshua gave it to her, and she wore it all the time, except when she was in the shower.She didn’t expect that the charm would really save her life.But where was Joshua, who gave it to her? He was with another woman.“Get in.” Isaac took her to another car. “I’ll take you to Joshua!”“Oh?” There was a fluster in Hazel’s eyes.Then she lowered her head, dispirited. “Forget it, Isaac, I’m exhausted after this incident. Take me home.”
No sooner had Joshua spoken than he heard the footsteps of the crowd.Jaxson and Joshua turned to see Garry and Mabel Young, along with numerous reports rushing towards them.“Joshua! Where’s my daughter? Return my daughter to me!” Garry cried fiercely. He lunged at Joshua, but before he could get too close, he was stopped by a group of bodyguards.Isaac pulled into the parking garage at the hospital. Hazel got out of the car, she felt a chill and sneezed.Isaac took off his coat and handed it to her. “Put it on.”Hazel looked down as she put the jacket on, there were many bruises on her arms because of the stones.“Let’s go.” He too
Joshua could not leave now, and he would not be comforted if it was left to someone else.Jaxson quickly agreed and left the ward.After that, Joshua could not help but frown when he replayed the scene that occurred when Isaac and Hazel were there.Had something terrible happened to Hazel? He grimaced in fear.He took out his phone and called her, it went directly to voicemail as if she was avoiding him, but he was not discouraged and called again. Hazel answered the second time, catching Joshua off guard.Before he could speak, he heard Hazel’s cold voice on the other end of the line, “Stop calling, Joshua Denmark. I don’t want to talk to you now.”“
Hazel felt like she could not breathe, it hurt too much.Many things happened in the last few hours, and she was just too shocked to think anymore.She grew paler as she kept looking at the photo album.There were individual photos of the baby girl but also some of her with a young couple.Hazel had seen the photos of the young couple before; they were the same people like the ones in the photo of Joshua’s parents.How could this be?Did it mean that she was the baby girl? Had she seen Joshua’s parents when she was a child?However, the couple in the photos looked at the baby girl with such loving and soft eyesight, just li
“Joshua…” She called his name with somewhat impatience.We can’t let Simon go. She felt that something would happen if they let him go. It was very strange; she seemed to be on the verge of figuring out something important, but now she still could not figure it out.“Hazel, what are you thinking about?” Even on such a tense occasion, Simon was rarely amused by her. He couldn’t help speaking, “You actually expect Joshua to risk your life just to keep me? Joshua, will you do that?”“What do you think?” Joshua spoke coldly.The people around Simon were scattering, which was his answer.“That’s right!&rdq
“Even if you were to tell me, why did you insist on my coming to you?” she whispered. “Let’s wait until Joshua comes….”“It involves my mother, and I don’t want anyone to know about it, especially Joshua,” he said in a deep tone. “Hazel, I’m just trying to convince you one last time. Even if I lied to you before, do you suspect I’d hurt you?”Looking at his wounded face, she could not help freezing a little. Indeed, Simon had done some outrageous things before, but at least he had never intended to hurt her. She was really a little ruthless by being so wary of him.“Good.” she opened her mouth. “If you can’t convince me, stay.”His eyes flashed, and he finally nod
“Hazel, are you kidding me?!” He looked at her in shock. “They say a pregnant woman is always stupid. You’re not so stupid as to fall into this trap by yourself, are you?”“You’re stupid! Your whole family is stupid!” She was furious.“You are my sister-in-law, and my whole family includes you.” He pointed it out without mercy, but he scolded himself immediately after he had said this. He was really quite used to the identity of being Joshua’s younger brother. When he said these words, he was not thinking at all.Ignoring his words, Hazel said with a solemn expression, “For some reason, I think this is very weird. I didn’t mean only myself when I said I wanted to go with you. We’ll take all the men.
His words couldn’t comfort Hazel at all.She frowned. Ian Flores hated Joshua very much, so if Ian knew that Joshua was alive, Ian would make a desperate attempt to avenge himself on Joshua. What was more, Joshua deliberately wanted to be reunited with the Sloane family, which would make Ian have more hatred of Joshua.But Ian would only risk everything when he was very sure that he could win.Just as Ian used Stacy to threaten Joshua last time, even if Ian did go to Joshua this time, Ian would be fully prepared.Worse still... Hazel felt a little flustered for no reason. She had a feeling that things were not going so well this time somehow and that there was something they did not know.“Simon, we have to be car
“...” Simon was extremely angry with him. Finally, he snapped, gritting his teeth, “Whose side do you take?”Joshua’s eyes went dark. “I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself.”“What?” Simon looked at him with a puzzle.“Our plan failed last time because something went wrong because of you,” Joshua said, picking up the wine glass and playing with it gently. “That’s why things end up like this today.”In an instant, Simon looked a little gloomy. He had been kicking himself over it. Even if he knew Joshua was safe now, he would not say frankly that it was not his fault.“What exactly are you trying to say?” Simon said irritab
“Please go home, both of you,” Chester said apologetically. “Master Simon hasn’t been in a good mood lately….”“Besides, if he sees us, he’ll be more unhappy, won’t he?” Hazel looked at Joshua and couldn’t help speaking.Helplessly, Joshua pinched her hand. How could Hazel undermine Simon like that?“What?” Chester looked at her blankly.“Nothing, nothing.” She hurried to smile and played dumb.Joshua gave Chester a quiet look. “Did he ask you to come out and drive us away?”“... Yes,” Chester replied with resignation. In fact, Chester wasn’t straightforward. Ho
He had a good knowledge of Ted’s tricks, so he would never put Hazel in danger!Hazel distressed herself about this. After losing his memory, Joshua seemed to become stubborn. In this case, it would be even more difficult for her to convince him.She thought for a bit and finally said, “But you’re here. You’ll protect me, won’t you? Besides, I’m pregnant, and I’m sure he won’t be hard on me.”His face was still pale, and he insisted, “No. Even if he isn’t hard on you, he’ll certainly try to make us misunderstand each other and break us up.”“Then, do you have no confidence in our relationship?” She sat directly in his arms, with her arms putting around his neck, and asked seductivel
She tugged anxiously at his sleeve. Joshua knew what she was worried about. He opened his mouth silently. “Trust me.”In an instant, Hazel was relieved.It seemed that Joshua didn’t really plan to go to war with Ted. It should only be a means of negotiation.After figuring it out, Hazel quieted down.Joshua’s eyes were filled with tenderness. Hazel actually trusted him so deeply?Ted was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.When he learned that Joshua and Simon had conspired to kill him at Stacy Island, Ted had a sinking feeling; that was also why he faked his own death.But he did not expect things would be
It was Ted. Joshua’s face darkened instantly.But the next moment, he calmly answered, “Mr. King.”Hazel stiffened slightly.“I’ve considered what you said before,” Ted said in a deep tone. “If you can improve the relationship between Simon and me, and that woman is really pregnant with your child, I can accept… that child.”With a chill in his eyes, Joshua coolly said, “Mr. King, I didn’t expect you would daydream.”Ted was exasperated. “Joshua, this is what I can only do!”“Then we don’t need to have any further discussion on this matter,” Joshua said, his chill deepening. &ldq
