It was Joshua calling. Hazel rubbed her forehead with a headache.
Even if Simon did not tell Joshua what had happened to her, the people around her would report it to Joshua. She always knew Joshua cared about her very much.
But was Joshua really not abroad? Besides, what were he and Simon up to? Why did he keep it from her? Was it because he was afraid that she might slow them down or because what they were about to do was too dangerous?
Either way, it made her very uncomfortable.
These questions kept pestering her. She didn’t know whether she should ask Joshua directly.
If the truth wasn’t like what she guessed, wouldn’t it mean she didn’t believe him if she asked?
He was very helpless. He hadn’t expected Hazel to be so stubborn.In the past, she was always dying to avoid him when she saw him, but now she actually came to him of her own accord for that!“Pumpkin, it’s not good,” he shook his head. “I told you it’s not worth getting your hands dirty.”“It doesn’t matter, I’m just watching. Evil things will be only done by you, and only you will get your hands dirty,” she said solemnly.“...” he was angry and helpless. This wench didn’t pester him normally. Why did she stubbornly pester him now?Thinking of what happened last night, he suddenly laughed wickedly. Putting down his breakfast, he walked over t
He hung up the phone and looked at her. “Pumpkin, I’m busy...”“Go ahead then.” She waved her hands. “I’ll look for them by myself, I don’t need your help.”Simon was so pissed off that he almost spat blood. Why hadn’t he found Hazel would act so shamelessly? The point was that he couldn’t do anything to her yet. If this girl really kicked up a row, it would be difficult to deal with.“Aren’t you going?” looking at him, who wore a gloomy face, she asked. “You’re not busy, are you?”His face grew darker, but things over there were really urgent. He thought a little and finally said, “As you like. Anyway, you won’t find anything!”
“Of course I’ll save you,” Hazel said earnestly, “but not now.”Since Madeline knew this, if Hazel released Madeline, maybe Madeline would obstruct what Joshua and Simon wanted to do.Since Simon was so defensive against Madeline, perhaps the family behind Madeline did have the strength to scare them. Hazel wasn’t stupid enough to do anything that would hold them back, so she couldn’t let Madeline go now.“You, you lied to me!” Madeline was so furious that even her eyes turned red.“I’m not going to lie to you,” Hazel said dryly. “When I’m ready, I’ll definitely come here to save you.”Madeline didn’t believe her. She couldn&
She persuaded him for quite a while before calming him down.Grandpa Sloane said with some anticipation, “... Hazel, when will you and Joshua visit Stacy again? We haven’t thanked you for your help last time….”Hazel’s fingers tightened slightly. Of course, she knew Grandpa Sloane didn’t just want them to visit Stacy; he wanted them to accept the Sloane family slowly.Grandpa Sloane had thought Stacy’s baby was dead. But now that Grandpa Sloane knew he was not only alive but also so excellent, how could Grandpa Sloane not be eager to reunite with him? It was just that Joshua’s distant attitude kept Grandpa Sloane away.After hearing the truth from Madeline, Hazel knew that Joshua didn’t want to refuse the Sloane fami
“Right, I mustn’t be panicky, I mustn’t...” Grandpa Sloane took a deep breath to calm his panic.Hazel said in a soft voice, “Grandpa Sloane, are you still in the hospital? Please wait, I’ll reach you soon.”“Okay, okay...” Grandpa Sloane agreed.Without more words, Hazel quickly went to drive the car to the nursing home.Hazel knew Grandpa Sloane was old, and Stacy had been his guilt and pain, so her sudden disappearance certainly upset him now.She was worried not only about Stacy but also about Grandpa Sloane.The car was moving so fast that Hazel couldn’t stop thinking about it. She was worried that something might ha
Hazel’s face flashed a touch of hesitation as she wondered if she should tell James what she knew.“Hazel, if you want my help, at least you should give me enough information,” James frowned and said helplessly. “Your adoptive mother is a policewoman, and you’ve been influenced since childhood, so you should be aware that in the case of lack of intelligence, how difficult it is for people to find out the truth, and the people are even perhaps misled to the opposite direction.”Hazel’s heart became tense. What they needed now was time. The longer it took, the more dangerous Stacy would be. She couldn’t waste time any longer.Taking a deep breath, Hazel said in a deep tone. “Simon and Joshua are half-brothers. I suspect it’s the organization that took Aunt St
Joshua’s pupils shrunk slightly.Joshua recognized the man before he came near.It should be Ted King who was walking.He should be over fifty, but there was no trace of age on his face. He still looked very young, tall, and handsome. There was no youthful sharpness in him, but his whole person seemed very unfathomable.Moreover, Ted’s face looked so much like his.No wonder Simon was so shocked when he saw Joshua for the first time and even ran after him so quickly. Just looking at his face was really enough to determine the relationship between him and Ted.“Idiot!” Ted snapped. “Who allowed you to check Joshua?! Didn’t I tell you that you mus
Simon was really going crazy.He had thought everything would go well, but at this point, Hazel suddenly showed up.Hazel wasn’t supposed to be here, but she was, which meant there was an accident, and it was a very severe accident.“I… don’t know.” Chester sweated. Hazel appeared so suddenly that it caught them off guard.“Has she been stopped?” Simon asked angrily.“Yes,” Chester said quickly.Simon spoke in a deep tone, “Let’s go! Go to her!”***
“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
