Hazel was horrified, although she knew her mother only wished the best for her, it sounded like nobody wanted to marry her. Hazel nodded her head and continued to eat. When they were about halfway through their meal, Rachel’s cell phone rang.
Rachel quickly answered and grabbed her coat, “You two keep on eating. I got an emergency call, and I've to go to work."
"I've got to go too." Harry looked at his phone, "A patient needs emergency treatment."
"Dad, Mom, take this to eat on the road." Hazel hurriedly packed the food in two lunch boxes and gave them.
Rachel touched Hazel's head and sighed, "My little pumpkin, I am sorry. I can't even spend time with you during the vacation."
"It's okay." Hazel said, "Just
Hazel wanted to dig a hole and hide! She wasn’t paying attention to what she had taken out of the fridge. She stood with her head down, completely embarrassed, when suddenly she heard a bang, she had squeezed the eggs, and they broke all over her hands."You are... warning me?" Joshua was speechless.Hazel threw the eggs into the trash can. She said slyly, "No..."She was too frustrated at the moment and lost control of her strength.Joshua caught her hands and placed them under the faucet, he turned on the water and helped her clean the egg off of her hands."Okay," Joshua said, gently kissing her forehead, "If you really want to help, just wait."Hazel was full of frustrat
Hazel did not want to cause a commotion in her house, she had no choice but to keep Joshua a secret until after graduation.After closing the bedroom door, Hazel ran to the front door and was just about to open it when she saw a pair of shoes out of the corner of her eye. Joshua left his shoes in the shoe cabinet by the door.Her mother, Rachel, who was not as gentle as her feminine name, had the keen insight that the police should have. Hazel rushed to pick up the leather shoes, hid them in an empty shoebox nearby, and then opened the door for her parents."Hazel, why did you lock the door?" Harry frowned.Hazel smiled unnaturally, "I didn't pay attention to it, it must have just been out of habit. We always lock the door at the dormitory."
"Forget it, we can talk about this later." Hazel sighed. It was impossible to let Joshua jump off the balcony, he was not a superhero, but letting him walk out through the living room was a fast track to doomsday, Rachel and Harry were still awake."Are you hungry?" Hazel asked with a little guilt. Joshua had been hiding in her room, and he had not eaten anything."What did you say?" Joshua asked faintly."Let me get some food for you." Hazel said, "You must not make any noise!""Fine," Joshua said.After Hazel went out, Joshua unbuttoned his suit and took off his clothes.The Crowe family had been really nice to Hazel, in the three-bedroom and two-living-room apartment, Hazel's b
"I just wanted to give you some fruit. Open the door." Rachel continued."Mom, I am sleepy. I don't want to eat." Hazel’s voice trembled as she tried to suppress the anxiety in her heart. A bad-ass smile flashed across Joshua’s face, and he gently sighed in her ear. Hazel was shocked and couldn't help but make a bigger noise."Hazel, are you sick? What's wrong with your voice?" Rachel asked outside the door."Mom, I'm fine," Hazel angrily glanced at Joshua. She took a deep breath, "I'm just too tired. I want to go to bed early.""That's alright." Rachel said outside the door.As the sound of Rachel's footsteps disappeared, Hazel suddenly broke away from Joshua, and she turned over and pressed him under her body!
Hazel jumped out of Joshua's arms and walked toward the door."You must not make a sound." She whispered, "Remember to lock the door. No matter who knocks on the door, don't open it. I have the key.""I know," Joshua said faintly.Hazel slowly opened the bedroom door, confirmed no one in the hallway, and snuck out.To her surprise, the living room was crowded with people. The visitors were her uncle and his family from a distant city. The entire family was there, Matt and Emma Crowe, her aunt, uncle, children, Fanny, and Scott.A few years ago, her uncle had borrowed money from her parents, and at that time, he complained that they could only lend him a small amount. His entire family begged and pleaded with Harry to give him
"Even brothers keep careful accounts, not to mention relatives who are so far away," Hazel said coldly. Since her uncle and his family were making her so unhappy on Christmas Day, she was going to let them know the consequences."Big brother, dear sister-in-law, look at her, you have her so spoiled!" Emma looked angrily at Rachel."I don’t think Hazel is wrong." Rachel smiled. Hazel only said what she and Harry wanted to say, why should they deny it?"Don't talk about it!" Harry said seriously, "Hazel, you didn't say anything wrong, but you need to let your parents take care of it. Matt, I did not want to remind you on Christmas Day. But you need to return the money to us as soon as possible."Matt's face became even more horrified. Hazel held back her smile, bowed
"Well..." Joshua snorted, holding back the pain from his shoulder, she was furious actually to bite him so hard.Hazel groaned and let go of him, leaving two rows of clear teeth prints on his shoulder."Let's see if you dare to bite me again!" Hazel felt good."Then how about you bite me a few more times?" Joshua chuckled."No way!" Hazel stared at him with shame. Did he want to give her another hickey?"Hazel, are you ready?" Rachel called outside."Almost!" Hazel replied quickly. She whispered to Joshua. "I will leave with my parents for a while, and you can leave then."Joshua smirked, he actually enjoyed the fact that Hazel was hid
Hank continued, "Our family has always been frugal. Money should be spent on the right things, something like this is just not practical. If you want to buy it, you can buy one for ten or twenty dollars on the internet. You are spending thousands of dollars on this kind of thing..."Hazel was speechless.Why would she think that this person was a psychopath? The fact that she bought something had nothing to do with him and his family ritual. Probably he was used to a frugal life and couldn't stand wasteful conduct? Even so, it was still unbearable."One of my neighbors, an old lady, has lived for ninety-nine years." Hazel couldn't help but interrupt him.Hank was stunned. He asked awkwardly. "Does this have anything to do with what I said?"
“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
