Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Joshua’s eyes shimmered, and he smiled, “My Hazel is so enchanting.”

“Don’t change the topic!” Hazel was speechless. “We all know that Susan Edwards made him come. He doesn’t really like me.”

“It’s hard to say.” Joshua was blinking, “If he spends a long time with you, it’s hard to guarantee that he won’t really like you.”

“So, you used a trick to take advantage of him?” Hazel said with a smile.

“Hazel, what are you talking about,” Joshua said innocently. “I don’t understand.”

“Still pretending?!” Hazel looked at him calmly. “Richard Hamilton hired a few people and wanted to be a hero by saving the beauty. But, it turned out he was played by the ones he hired. Did you ask the gang to do that?”

“Yeah.” Joshua nodded calmly as he confessed.

“You admit it so quickly?” Hazel was a little discouraged.

“Hazel, you are my only family. No matter what happens, I just want you to know I won’t lie to you.” Joshua gently caught her hand, his eyes full of affection.

Hazel looked at him, her heart-melting. She lost all resolve to question him any further.

“Are you still angry?” He whispered.

“I’m not angry.” Hazel sighed with some disappointment. She whispered, “I thought you would’ve denied it, and then I could show my detective talent.”

Joshua laughed. It turned out that Hazel had been so serious in proving something.

“How did you find out?” He asked.

Hazel blinked and excitedly said, “Two Reasons! First, I could not easily take out those guys. Their acting was a little too fake. Second, their language was harsh, but they didn’t really do anything that bad to Richard. They just scared him from beginning to end. Oh, and I guess there is a third reason when they stopped me, they didn’t dare offend me too much. So, uh…”

“My Hazel is really smart.” Joshua smiled and leaned over to kiss her.

Hazel’s cheeks went red. She swiftly hampered his advances. “Don’t seduce me… I’m still curious. There could’ve been many ways to deal with Richard, why did you have to scare him in that way?”

“Because I want to make sure that he won’t harass you again,” Joshua said faintly. “Otherwise, he won’t give up easily, but with the incident today, he will remember. He shouldn’t bother you again or at least until he breaks through the mental barrier.”

Richard came to find Hazel with intentions, and it was only because of Joshua’s good nature that he chose just to scare him.

Hazel’s heart was so touched that Joshua did all that for her. And his words of “she was his only family member” also meant a great deal to her.

“Joshua, I always wanted to ask you one question.” Hazel looked at him seriously.

He was somewhat surprised, “What’s that?”

“You…” Hazel hesitated. She bit her lips and said, “Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?”

A strange expression flashed on Joshua’s face. He smiled softly, holding Hazel in his arms, “Hazel, I have passed the age of the panic to find my lost parents. I have you, and that’s all I ask for.”

Hazel tried not to cry as she whimpered, “But… but you never thought of it at all?”

“I was curious when I was young, and I wondered why they abandoned me,” Joshua said faintly. “After being adopted by my parents, I didn’t think about it anymore. They gave up on me, so naturally, I did not want them in my life.”

Hazel only felt more distressed when he said that so coldly. How much pain must a man have gone through to become totally uncaring?

She took the initiative to embrace him and whispered, “It doesn’t matter, you have me now. I will always be with you…”

“Really?” He reached up and lifted her chin.

“Really!” Hazel nodded heavily.

“But you are not willing to live with me.” Joshua’s eyes look a bit sad.

“I will move back to live with you now!” She beamed with a smile.

Joshua’s eyes flickered, he was overwhelmed with joy at the thought of Hazel moving back, but he was hesitant at the same time.

He looked as if he had a dilemma. “Hazel, I hope that you will seriously consider it before you decide. If this is just your impulse, then you will move out after a while, I will be crushed.”

“I seriously thought about it. It was not impulsive!” Hazel hurriedly said, “Joshua, I really won’t move out again. It’s my home too!”

“Hazel, you are so kind to me.” Joshua kissed her lips passionately.

***

Hazel moved back to the Denmark Residence, but she didn’t think that Joshua would actually carry her into his room again while she was sleeping.

When she woke up and saw Joshua’s familiar sleeping face, she didn’t even have the strength to lose her temper.

“Joshua!” She pushed his chest in annoyance.

Joshua slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Hazel, he looked like a moron.

“Hazel, you are sleepwalking again.”

Hazel was powerless. “I have no sleepwalking problems at all!”

Joshua smiled. “So, you came here to see me. Hazel, you are so kind.”

He leaned his head on her neck and gently rubbed it.

Hazel wanted to burst into tears. Why was Joshua so unbelievable in this matter? But she did tell him that she would stay with him always. If she made a huge fuss, he would probably be hurt.

“Will I be sleepwalking in the future again?” She asked helplessly.

“Hazel, you are so generous. You will always stay with me.” He chuckled.

Hazel looked at him resentfully. “You are impossible. We set up the “Three Rules,” remember? You can’t do anything to me at all. Isn’t that tormenting yourself?”

Joshua’s eyes became a little gentle. He touched her cheeks and said, “Remember that I asked how you feel about being a big boss?”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hazel was speechless. She certainly remembered that. But Joshua was now clearly telling her that he was also feeling bittersweet. She sighed helplessly, “… whatever you want.”

“My Hazel is so good.” Joshua chuckled.
