Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“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 hiding him in her bedroom. Since Joshua was not responding, Hazel said, “You don’t want to stay again, right? I am so frightened every minute. Spare me, Joshua!”

He sighed softly and reached out and rubbed her hair, “Good. But you promised to accompany me tomorrow. You can’t go back on your word.”

“Hmm, absolutely!” Hazel nodded solemnly.

Joshua leaned over and kissed her forehead, “Hazel, I believe in you.”

After Hazel changed her clothes, she left with Harry and Rachel. When they got to the bottom of the stairs, Rachel pointed to a car parked on the side of the road, “Whose car is this? Why haven’t I seen it around here?”

Hazel looked in the direction she pointed, she was shocked. It was an eye-catching Rolls Royce, Hazel didn’t have to guess, and she knew it belonged to Joshua. Couldn’t he be a little bit low-key?

Hazel almost collapsed, but she should have known that someone like Joshua could not easily pretend to be low-key.

“Probably a visitor of one of our neighbors?” Harry guessed.

“I saw it parked there yesterday.” Rachel said, “It seems that some guy in our community is having a big time now?”

“Dad, Mom, let’s go.” Hazel urged them. She really didn’t want to let them guess anymore, she did not know how much longer she could keep going with the charade.

When the three returned home, Hazel found that Joshua had left. She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, but her heart feels inexplicably empty.

Hazel angrily clung to the quilt and rolled in the bed. What happened to her? Did she actually want Joshua to stay? Suddenly, Hazel looked at the quilt in her arms in obsession. Last night, she and Joshua were tightly holding each other in bed… Oh no! Hazel hurriedly covered her head like an ostrich.

The next day, Hazel kept her promise to Joshua, and they planned to meet at Flourishing Plaza to watch the movie and go shopping. However, just as she was leaving to go meet Joshua, she got a call from Fanny.

Hazel was somewhat surprised. She didn’t have a bad impression of her distant cousin, she actually had some sympathy for her, their relationship was really not close. Hesitantly, she pressed the answer button.

“Hazel, are you free today?”

“I have an appointment with a friend today. What can I do for you, Fanny?”

“I am free today. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. How about we go shopping together today?”

“But, my friend…” Hazel was a little bit embarrassed.

“It doesn’t matter, I have a friend here. Will your friend mind?” Fanny said, “Or, have you got a boyfriend?”

Hazel was somewhat helpless. She hesitated for a while and finally agreed.

She couldn’t keep Joshua in the dark forever. Besides, she did not want Matt or her family planning to introduce her to someone else. She just wanted to take this opportunity to let Fanny see Joshua so that her uncle’s family would know she had a boyfriend and give up worrying about her.

Hazel first arrived at the scene. Seeing that Joshua and Fanny didn’t arrive, she began looking around the mall.

She had never sent any gifts to Joshua, what should she get? Hazel walked into a store and glanced over the counter.

“Hi miss, are you looking to buy a gift?” The clerk stepped forward.

Hazel’s cheeks were red. She asked a little shyly, “What should I give to a boyfriend as a gift?”

“You can give him a belt.” The clerk smiled politely, “This means that you will tie him up for a lifetime.”

Tie him up for a lifetime…

Hazel’s cheeks were a little redder. No, not that, Joshua definitely be too satisfied with that, she would have to wait to get him a belt at another time.

“Is there anything else?” She asked.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Looking at such a shy girl, the clerk said, “A tie clip will do too. There are a few new ones in our store.”

When Hazel was going to check the tie clips when she heard someone calling her name.

“Hazel!” She turned around and saw Fanny leading a man, who appeared to be around thirty, toward her.

Hazel nodded at her, “Fanny!”

Fanny pointed at the man behind her and said, “This is my friend, Hank Flores. This is my cousin, Hazel.” Hank looked at Hazel with some surprise, and adoration flickered in his eyes.

Hazel frowned. Hank’s gaze made her very uncomfortable. Although she was not used to reading people by their appearance, this man really made her feel dirty.

“Hazel, I am going to the bathroom. Just wait for me.” Fanny said.

Hazel nodded and didn’t think too much of it.

“I heard that you are graduating from college this year?” Hank asked.

Hazel was unhappy, but he was a friend of Fanny’s, so she answered “yes” faintly.

“Which school?” He continued to ask.

Hazel ignored him and followed the clerk to the counter. The clerk said, “This is a new model in our store…”

Hank’s eyes swept over the counter. When he saw the prices, his face suddenly changed. “Why would you buy these things? They are expensive and useless. You are too wasteful!”

Hazel was annoyed. What was wrong with this man? How could he judge a person he just met?

However, he was Fanny’s friend after all, and she didn’t want to embarrass him. Hazel took a deep breath and held back the anger.

“I am buying it to give as a gift,” She said faintly. “And I’m not spending your money.”

Hank said angrily, “You can’t spend that much even if it is your money!”
