"It’s okay, I needed to get up anyway." Hazel smiled. "Are you looking for something?"
"... um." Theresa twisted her fingers, Hazel knew she had something difficult to say.
Hazel opened the door so Theresa could step in and then closed the door behind her, she encouraged. "If you have to tell me something, just say it."
Theresa took a deep breath, and she said, "My parents want to see you..."
"Why do they want to see me?" Hazel asked strangely. "Do they want to teach me a lesson?"
“No,” Theresa said in a hurry. “They said that the shopping matter was their fault, and they wanted to apologize to you.”
"Apologize?" Hazel was surprised and wide-eyed. Acc
Lanny’s greed was even stronger, and he couldn’t wait to have it all. Even if he got more from Joshua, it would not be as much as Joshua had. He just had to figure out how he could get it all.Lanny’s eyes suddenly fell on Hazel’s body. She felt a chill run down her spine; she felt as if a vicious man was watching her.She felt scared and uncomfortable but was also puzzled, she raised her eyebrows and looked around. The members of the Flores family were all still admiring the villa in front of them, she thought it must have been her imagination.Leading them into Denmark Residence, their eyes became even brighter. They kept looking around and touching everything. Hazel could not understand why they were so rude. Caroline told Nanny Carter to prepare some tea and pretend not to see anything.
Hazel was caught off guard, she hadn’t realized how worried she was. She was afraid that Caroline or Lanny would cry out after seeing Joshua and shout, "My son!".But they did not speak it out? Even if they had asked Joshua a lot of questions, they still did not clarify their reasoning. It seemed that the Flores family had plans of their own.Hazel did not understand what was happening. She looked at Joshua, and he said to the maid indifferently, "Please ask Miss Flores to come out."The servant went to get Theresa, and Joshua calmly said to the family, "Since you are guests of Hazel, please sit down."The three of them nodded and sat down on the sofa across from Joshua and Hazel.Henry stared at Joshua with anger, and
Hazel did not know what to say. When Joshua was home, he helped her bake some love cookies. It was something romantic that they did, there was nothing wrong with it, so why did Caroline scold her?The Flores family really did not show any respect for women. They thought that she should stay in the kitchen?"He was willing to help me," Hazel said, and she got somewhat angry. She said with a dissatisfied face. "One of his favorite things to do is to make me all kinds of delicious food. We enjoy it. We have done nothing wrong!”"You..." Caroline was angry. Lanny touched her arm and said, "They are a new couple, let's not talk too much."Caroline pressed down the anger in her heart, and the more she saw Hazel, the more unpleasant she felt. If Joshua still refused to re
Joshua still looked very calm. He knew that Flores' family was selfish and was not surprised when they said that they intended to leave but suddenly changed their minds. He presumed it was because someone did not want to let them go. He wanted to make it easier on Hazel, so he gave in to them again.It did not appear that the family wanted to leave Denmark's Residence. They stopped Theresa and continued talking with her.Hazel poked Joshua, whose indifferent attitude left her completely confused about what he was thinking.“Hazel, come with me to the Denmark Group this afternoon,” said Joshua quietly.Before Hazel could say yes, Caroline spoke, “Does Mr. Denmark have work to do this afternoon?”“
Caroline was quite efficient. Before Quantum University’s anniversary began, she had brought a dozen young, beautiful women to Denmark Residence.Joshua was at work, and Hazel was at school when they arrived. The bodyguards outside didn’t stop Caroline because she had called ahead of time to say she was coming to visit Theresa.When Caroline brought the women into the living room, Theresa was dumbstruck.“What are you doing, Mom?” Theresa asked in a low voice.Caroline couldn’t help cursing, “Screw you. I’m not doing anything to embarrass you. Can’t you just talk louder? Do you think I’m a thief?”Theresa shuddered with fear. She would have been too scared to ask at
“Master Denmark!”The group of women was both surprised and pleased. Some of them lowered their heads very shyly, while others looked at him boldly.There was a touch of displeasure in Joshua’s eyes as he calmly interrupted Caroline, “Why did you bring these people here?”“Hear me out,” Caroline said, after giving Hazel a sideways glance.With a smile on her face, she continued, “I’ve checked for you. All of these girls are good at cooking and other housework. They deserve to be around you. As long as you keep them around, they will take care of all of your meals and needs. They will be your everything…if you are hungry, thirsty, tired…”Hazel was speec
Joshua raised his eyebrows slightly, and he reached out his hand to press against the car and stopped Hazel.“Hazel, are you upset about what just happened?” He looked at her with deep eyes. He could sense that she wasn’t just refusing to let him take her back to school, but it also seemed that she was secretly distancing herself from him.Hazel was in her own world and suddenly felt like she was a little unreasonable. She did dislike the Flores family and was unhappy about Caroline’s behavior, but it was nothing to do with Joshua.Joshua was willing to be nice to the Flores family, which she certainly understood, and it was irrational that he refused to admit they were his family members because he had been abandoned.Besides, Joshua was the pers
Hazel fussed over the mirror, looking intoxicated. “How can I be so handsome?! I am so mesmerized by myself!”Summer and Ariel’s faces darkened instantly. They grabbed the mirror in her hand. The three of them laughed and joked for a while before going to the classroom.When she got to the classroom, Hazel naturally caused a stir. Their gender-inverted maid’s cafe, as it were, attracted plenty of attention.People were constantly coming and going.Though many of the girls came to see the maids, most of them came to take photos with Hazel. Finally, the maids got so angry with Hazel that they asked her to work backstage.Backstage, she just helped make coffee and was more relaxed. She took a break, and w
“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
