She yelled at him in disbelief. “Are you a fool? Didn’t you hear me? Hazel came to you to trick you into buying expensive wine!”
“I see.” Isaac looked at her sarcastically. “I have a lot of money, and I am a fool. I like to spend money to amuse Hazel. Do you have any objections? Oh, by the way, if you really have an objection, keep it to yourself.”
“You, you…” Karla was so irritated that she couldn’t speak. She just stood there pointing at Isaac.
Then she said, infuriated with shame, “Unacceptable!” as she left in a huff.
“Thank you for helping me out,” Hazel said with a smile. “But do you still need the wine?”
“Yes, w
Joshua’s heart could not help but sink.Isaac’s word ‘Hazel’ and his particularly gentle attitude toward her gave him a bad feeling.“You don’t seem to want to clarify it now?” His eyes became deep.“Clarify what?” Isaac played a fool.“Fine,” Joshua spoke calmly and appeared relaxed instead.Noticing he was so calm, Isaac felt nervous. Joshua was not easy to get agitated. And, the calmer he was, the more trouble there would be.The door banged open, and a woman with a beautiful face came in, her eyes red.“Isaac Anderson!” The woman looked at him with grief
She clutched her chopsticks, exhaled irritably, and ate her food in silence.He was helpless. Hazel’s disgust towards him was more dreadful than he had imagined.But it didn’t matter. He could take his time.After dinner, Hazel reluctantly got into Joshua’s car.“If you don’t want to go, I can take you back to school. Shall we visit him some other day?” Joshua proposed.He thought it might be a good idea, that way, he would have another reason to ask her out again.“No…” she gritted her teeth and said as if she were to die a martyr's death. “I did something wrong, and I'll have to face it sooner or later. Let's go today!
“Didn’t I help you out yesterday?” he said softly.“What help?” She freaked out. “Who would help like that? You took me to another room and took my clothes off… If I had not run out of there as fast as I did, who knows what you would have done?”The smile on the corners of his lips softened a little.He had really been afraid she would keep it in her heart because she was too shy to mention it. If so, there would always be a gap between them.It was great that she was willing to speak out, then his explanation would be more convincing to her.“I just think the birthmark on your chest is very special, so I want to see it clearly.” He wasn’t trying to hide it fr
“I...” He was so overcome that he could not speak.Joshua looked at her in astonishment, a brighter smile playing on his lips.When this little girl was provoked, she would suddenly become eloquent, or so as long as her bottom line wasn’t touched, she did not care too much.When she was serious, she looked really charming.“But... Hazel, you weren’t like this before.” Derek looked at her in complete shock. “It’s clear you were a gentle, kind, generous girl. Why did you completely change? Why do you have to make things difficult for Kyla?”Hazel was furious.She didn’t really want to sue Kyla, but at least she needed to te
“Hazel, just tell me what happened to you and Joshua Denmark!” Ariel said pitifully, rising from her bed the next morning.“You’ve tormented me all night. Aren’t you tired?” Hazel was helpless.“Denmark Group suspended the Surrogacy Competition!” cried Summer, sitting in front of the computer.“What?” Ariel hurried over to her side.The news exploded like a bombshell on the Internet, and everyone was wondering why it was suspended.Suddenly, Ariel and Summer turned their heads to look at Hazel with weird eyes. “Tell us! What is exactly going on?”“How could I know?” Hazel said with a face full of m
Dressed in a burgundy suit, Isaac leaned on the sports car, enjoying listening to the girls’ cheers.All of a sudden, he raised his head and smiled slightly in Hazel’s direction.Summer and Ariel immediately started making hearts with their hands, acting like boy crazed teenagers.“This man is really bizarre…” Hazel said despite herself.“What do you mean bizarre?!” Ariel said, instantly furious.Over the next few moments, she became starry-eyed. “He’s sexy! He’s too handsome, isn’t he? Someone who can manage a burgundy suit perfectly is even sexier than the outfit itself!”“Hazel, is this Joshua?&rdquo
Their engagement may be a joke. Besides, it can’t be counted since it was so many years ago.But Joshua still felt uncomfortable.Isaac was stunned. “Joshua, are you serious?”“Yes,” He whispered.“Good!” Isaac’s mouth tilted upwards evilly at the corners. “I can stop provoking her, but you must do me a favor.”“No way.” Joshua refused without hesitation.“I haven’t said anything yet!” Isaac was speechless.He didn’t, but Joshua knew what he was going to say.“Don’t worry, it isn&rsqu
There was a low chuckle in her ear as Joshua whispered, “Don’t be nervous. I’m just helping you fasten your seat belt.”When she heard Ariel and Summer giggle, Hazel couldn’t help but blush. She turned to look out of the window, awkward.She protested. “I’ll do it myself…”But before she could finish, Joshua said in a low voice, “It’s done.”After he moved his hands, Hazel acted as if she had been granted a pardon; she quickly turned her head around, but her lips touched Joshua's cheek.Hazel’s eyes widened, and she stiffly leaned back against the seat of the car.Joshua's eyes were slightly darker. He
“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
