But Joshua planned to do as Ted said first and took Simon back to the manor.
He turned around to look at the assistant Ted had arranged for. He was a gentle, young man about his age named Barry Watson.
“Have you found out Simon King’s recent whereabouts?” Joshua asked.
“The email about his whereabouts has been sent to your mailbox,” Barry replied.
Joshua nodded. He opened his mailbox and read the email.
The email clearly showed Simon’s whereabouts along with photos. It seemed that Simon did not try to hide his own whereabouts, so Joshua’s men could find him so quickly.
However, judging from Simon’s appearance and actions, Simon seeme
She was dazed. Would it be just her illusion?If Joshua did come back, why did he avoid her instead of meeting her?“Let’s go.” She lowered her eyes somewhat sadly and turned around to walk into the hospital.Simon looked around doubtfully but saw nothing suspicious. Finally, he caught up with Hazel.In the corner of the parking lot, Joshua looked out the window of his car and looked in the direction where Hazel left with deep eyes.Seeing Simon enter the hospital with Hazel, he felt a little jealousy somehow. Why would he be so unhappy? Joshua frowned slightly.“Master Joshua, what should we do with this woman?” Outside the window, Barry stood with M
Giving the office a deep look, Joshua hung up the phone, left the door, and hid in a nearby corner.Simon was being lectured like a grandchild by Dr. Lynch when his mobile phone rang.In an instant, Dr. Lynch was very furious and couldn’t help scolding, “Are you guys really that busy with your work? Too busy to spend time with your own wife for antenatal care? Isn’t she pregnant for you...”Simon was a little embarrassed. The baby in Hazel’s body wasn’t really his. But in the presence of Dr. Lynch, he was really afraid to refute.“I’ll turn it off...” Simon took out his mobile phone, speaking quickly. But before he could turn it off, his eyes caught the screen, and his face suddenly sank.
But Hazel increased the strength of his hand after hesitating for just a while. “Stop!”Even if the other side didn’t really mean to harm her, no one could guarantee that she would be safe after leaving with the driver.The driver was helpless because Joshua had told him not to hurt Hazel. He had no choice but to pull off the road.“Get off!” Hazel said cautiously. He must have a backup, so the surest way out was for her to have the driver get off while she drove the car.The driver had no choice but to get out of the car, but his hand seemed to knock over a small bottle accidentally.Hazel watched his movements the whole time, afraid he would strike at her, so she didn’t notice that.
Why...Warm tears began to roll down from her eyes, soaking the white cloth over them.When he felt her heat tears, he panicked instantly.He did not know why, but he did not want to see her cry.“Darling, don’t cry...” He let go of her, his fingers gently touching her hair. “I won’t touch you, I won’t touch you anymore, okay?”She cried more violently, and she said in a choked voice, “Don’t talk!”“... Why?” He was a bit helpless.Gently biting her lip, she could not help saying, “When, when you talk, you sound like him very much...”
“... How can you compare like that?!” She was so pissed off that she was very speechless.“As long as I’m better than him, you’re wrong,” he spoke perversely.What kind of heresy was this? Besides, what was the matter with this man?! Even his childish act when he was jealous was like Joshua!She even began to wonder if Joshua was playing a trick on her!“Who the hell are you?” she asked in a deep tone.“What, you’re starting to care about me?” He curled his lips lightly.“You...” Hazel was in a daze. Except for his voice that didn’t sound like Joshua’s, his tone and manner of speaking were li
Simon had a very bad relationship with Ted. Even in Simon’s mind, Ted’s image had almost been demonized.He would never forget how cruelly Ted treated his uncle’s family. Simon would not have hated Ted so much if Simon had not seen Ted’s reckless means.Joshua fell into the hands of Ted. After such a long period of time, Joshua did not contact them and even abandoned Hazel, who was pregnant. Hence, Simon could only think that Joshua had been coerced by Ted, and what Joshua did now was not Joshua’s original intention.“So, what should we do now?” Chester asked anxiously.“Let’s look for Hazel first,” Simon said in a deep tone. “Whatever it is, let’s find Hazel first. Maybe we can also save Joshua.&rdq
The night was very romantic.Joshua moved gently, afraid that he might hurt the baby in her belly.But they hadn’t had sex in months, so their bodies missed each other very much. Joshua wouldn’t be so restrained for a whole night if it weren’t for the fact that he cared about Hazel’s body. But even so, he still coveted her body.Joshua was in a trance. He couldn’t figure out why Hazel fit in so well with him and why he knew her so well.Some vague images rushed into his mind. He tried to see them clearly, but nothing came to his mind.They had a night of fun, but poor Simon spent the whole night looking for them.Simon didn’t expect that, even t
“Barry, what did Joshua ask you to do?” Ted asked in a deep voice.“Master Joshua asked me to investigate Miss Crowe.” Barry hurried to reply, “I’ve just finished investigating Miss Crowe, and I am going to send the related documents to Master Joshua.”“Don’t send,” Ted said, looking very pale. “Hide it so that Joshua can’t see them!”Barry froze. He had read the related documents. If he was right, Joshua and Hazel should be married, but according to Ted’s remark… Was Ted not going to recognize Hazel as his daughter-in-law?He followed Joshua now, but he had always been Ted’s men. Despite some reluctance in his heart, he agreed.&
“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
