"Mr. President, I have some things from work..." Janet looked at Hazel.
"That... if there is nothing else, I will leave to go home." Hazel said.
"You are going to leave wearing that?" Joshua's eyes flashed with disappointment.
He really did not want anyone else to see Hazel looking so beautiful and vivacious.
"Em... How long does it take for my clothes to dry?" she asked.
“It’s still early.” Joshua said calmly, “Let Nanny Carter take you to the lounge while you are waiting for them. We can have lunch together at noon.”
Janet's face became even more ugly.
"This isn’t inconvenient, is it?” Hazel
Hazel said with a troubled expression, “They have told me it is too dangerous to be a police officer or a doctor. If I dare do that, they will break my legs. In their opinion, it’s better to be a civil servant, so they want me to get a good education and have a fulfilling career.”“What about you?” asked Joshua, “What do you want to be?”“Me?” Hazel thought for a while and shook her head, “I’ve never thought about that.”“Then think about it.” Joshua spoke to her softly, “Don't worry about anything else, just do what you like.”Hazel nodded her head in agreement.Janet held the chopsticks tighter when she heard what Joshua said to
Hazel had originally planned to give her a 10% discount. However, after calculating, she would still have to pay 10000 dollars herself. That was still too much for her, so she finally decided to give her 1% off.That would leave Hazel with 1000 dollars to pay. She had just received the payment for attending the Surrogacy Competition several days ago, which was exactly 1000 dollars.Thinking of that, she could not help but complain that capitalists were all money-hungry vampires. He even wanted the 1000 dollars back!“I’ll buy at the original price. Period!” Janet sneered and looked at her contemptuously.She really thought Hazel was just a greedy woman who loved money. How much could a dress and a pair of shoes cost? She was Mr. Denmark’s secretar
“Ah?” Janet looked at him surprisingly; she did not know what she did wrong.Joshua glanced at her coldly. Janet was scared at the sight of his expression and left without saying another word.He was annoyed and called Hazel, but as he expected, he could not get it through.He assumed that she had blocked his number.Joshua furrowed his eyebrows. He thought it through but was unable to figure out what had happened.Hazel went to visit him yesterday though it was not on her own. However, she had stayed and eaten a meal with him.Everything was fine at that time, so why would she do this to him the next day.Joshua called Jax
When Hazel got out, she saw that they were at a villa located halfway up a hill. A bus had stopped beside the villa. It was obvious that others had arrived earlier than they had.Ivan helped Hazel with her luggage; they walked toward the villa and pressed the doorbell when they reached the gate.The door opened, and they heard a voice before they saw anyone, “Ivan, is that you?”A well-dressed girl appeared behind the door. Hazel could not help raising her eyebrows at the sight of the girl.She froze when she saw Hazel. The girl who opened the door was no other than Karla Lee, who said Hazel was a wine whore.Hazel was a little anxious when she saw the look Karla had when she looked toward Ivan.
“Ivan is on the phone, he wants to talk to you,” Karla said, handing Hazel the phone.Hazel took the phone apprehensively.“Hazel, I am glad that you woke up,” Ivan said.“Sorry, Ivan. I have no idea why I overslept.” Hazel apologized.She could not understand why she had slept so late, she wasn’t that tired when she went to bed.“That’s okay.” Ivan smiled and said softly, “Are you all right now? You aren’t feeling sick, are you?”“I’m fine. Thanks,” she answered.“That’s good. We are not planning to go back until later this afte
Hazel took a deep breath and asked, "How do we get to the village on the mountain?"Karla became a bit more vigilant. She didn't answer directly. Instead, she said, "I'll tell you after you pull me up."Hazel was speechless. It turned out Karla was worrying she would be left behind after she answered the question. Hazel stretched the stick down in front of her, and Karla hurriedly grabbed it. Hazel pulled her up.Karla's body become soft when she got up. She fell directly on the ground and cried."Don't cry. Just tell me how to get to the village?" Hazel asked impatiently."Take, take the main road, and you will get there." Karla was still crying."Stop crying already." Hazel had
Hazel was a bit surprised.She knew he was the noble Master Joshua so finding out these things would be simple for him.But why did he personally come to find her?"Let's go back first," Joshua whispered, "Or, do you like to talk about things in the rain?"Hazel hesitated for a second but finally got into the car.Joshua shut the umbrella and sat in the driver's seat. He took out a clean towel and wanted to wipe Hazel’s face."Let me do it myself." She hurriedly grabbed the towel."Don't catch a cold." Joshua twitched his lips.Hazel answered with a low voice and gently wiped her face
"Hazel, we do not have a rendezvous." Joshua was dissatisfied."Who? What? Huh? Who said that we have a rendezvous?" Hazel's angry face turned redder."So even if Ivan is back, he is not like he is catching us with our pants down." Joshua looked at her with questioning eyes, "What are you afraid of?""Who said that I am afraid?" Hazel went mad, "Nothing is going on with Ivan!""Duly noted." Joshua twitched his lips.What? Hazel looked at him, astounded.That's not right! She had nothing to do with Ivan, but she also had nothing to do with Joshua either!Why did she sound like she was explaining to him?
“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
