Hazel's words left Harry and Ronald speechless. She was right. If Joshua really wanted the property of Denmark's family, there was absolutely no need for him to find Hazel.
"He may not be the property of Denmark's family." Ronald said while his eyes darkened, "How can you tell that he is with you not because he wants to repay the Denmark family for adopting him?”
Harry and Rachel were thinking.
"It's not like that!" Hazel hurriedly said.
“Not like that?” Ronald then asked, “He has been with you only after he found you, right? If you say no, then what does he like about you? According to what you said, Joshua attaches importance to affection and loyalty to people. Then, he planned to use his marriage to take care of you for a lifetime. Isn't this p
Hazel had to walk toward the other car. With the door open and no chance to escape, she had no other option but to get in. She had hardly gotten into the car when the door slammed shut, and she heard a gunshot.Then there was a confused burst of gunfire, mixed with an angry query, “Who are you? How did you sneak in?!”Hazel was in shock and tried to hide in the car. The driver’s door flew open, and a man grabbed the driver by his jacket and threw him out. He quickly sat in the driver’s seat and slammed on the gas, the car rushed away like an arrow.Another shot rang out, but they were too far away.“Hold tight!” The man’s voice was cold.Hazel clutched the handle of the car and stared
Hazel did hear Joshua mention James. She remembered it well, he had mentioned there was a child who had grown up with him, had misunderstood him, and they had a bad relationship.When Joshua told her, Hazel joked that it must have been the other person’s fault, but she clearly remembered the regret and sadness in his eyes when he mentioned it. He was a reserved person, and if someone could make him have such an expression, that person would definitely be very important to him.James looked a little colder, and apparently, Hazel’s words didn’t make him change his attitude towards Joshua.Suddenly, several cars emerged and stopped in the middle of the road ahead.James became very nervous. “Get down!”
“Joshua,” she looked at him wide-eyed, “you care so much about him, which would lead me to believe that there is something between you!”He stared at her helplessly. “What are you thinking about?”“Do you know how I feel when you’re jealous?” She poked him in his chest.Joshua’s eyes were a little deep. He took her fingers lightly and then pulled her into his arms.“Joshua...” She was kind of surprised.“You’ve been talking to me randomly all the time. Are you still afraid now?” he asked.Her body froze abruptly. He did find out... Yeah, he had always been so keen. Though it was not the first
When they all sat down, Hazel told her parents about Theresa. She had learned about Theresa’s situation, so she said that she had gone out to help her.Although it was a lie, Harry and Rachel wouldn’t naturally investigate the truth because they felt extreme hatred for the Flores family, and they were furious about how they had treated Theresa.“After hearing this, I’m afraid the early death of the two daughters in their house may not have been that simple,” Rachel said as she looked pale. “I’m afraid this family may have abused them and caused their death or abandoned them because of their dislike of daughters.”Hazel sighed because Rachel was right. She had heard from Theresa that her two dead sisters had been abused by her parents when they were babies.
“Hazel…” Joshua was confused. He and Hazel were a couple, everyone knew, so why did they need to sneak around like they were having an affair?“Shh—” She whispered, “Let’s hide. I don’t want my mother to find us, or we won’t have a chance to talk!”She had hardly finished her sentence when Rachel opened the door and walked in. In an instant, Hazel’s body stiffened as she tensed up. Joshua’s eyes were a bit deep, he looked at Hazel’s tenseness and thought it might be a good opportunity to seduce her.All of a sudden, he leaned over and blew in her ear. Hazel’s body quivered instantly as if she had had an electric shock, then she looked at Joshua in disbelief. What did he want to do at this moment?
Hazel was speechless because Rachel wasn’t angry and even changed her attitude so quickly. But why did she think there was something else going on?“Come here,” said Rachel in a deep voice.Just as she had expected, there was something suspicious, Hazel was positive that Rachel was deceiving her.“No!” She ducked behind Joshua and said helplessly, “Mom, I really have something to talk about with Joshua alone. Please give me a chance. When I’m done, I’ll apologize to you.”“What is it?” Rachel raised her eyebrows.“How can I tell you that since I said it is a private conversation?” Hazel spoke very confidently.
Hazel was a little shocked, she looked at Joshua with a serious expression and seemed to want to say something after she saw the look on his face.“Don’t get me wrong,” he said quietly. “It doesn’t matter to me whether they are good or bad, poor or rich. But since people would attack me by using my true birth once, there will be another time. Rather than let it be used as a means for others to attack me, it would be better to find them.”She really didn’t know what to say. He could talk about them with no feeling whatsoever, which led Hazel to believe that he really didn’t have much in the way of expectations.Maybe he had been desperate, or maybe her parents healed his wounds. But she could tell that he was very unwilling to face it.
“... I really didn’t take it. Luna, you must believe me!” Mandy was sobbing more and more violently. She tried hard to dodge the slaps, but she was being attacked from different directions, she did not have time to protect herself.Susan realized Mandy was not going to admit she took what she was looking for, so Susan lifted her foot and started to kick her. Mandy shouted bitterly, swearing at Susan and the other woman as she held onto her stomach. The pain caused sweat to run down her cheeks, and she was becoming paler.“Stop it!” said Hazel angrily.“Why are you here?” Susan looked at her in surprise, and then, with a burst of anger in her eyes, she glared at Mandy. “You still say you didn’t steal? She’s the one you called, right?!”
“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
