Susan hesitated for a moment before she finally said, “I did like Joshua.
After all, I thought only I would be a perfect match for him. But he’s so fierce that I just hope that I won’t need to have anything to do with him again. And, by that, I mean, I wish you were the daughter of the Denmark family."
“Is it good to be Denmark's family’s daughter?” Hazel’s eyes drooped, dispirited.
Her parents were suddenly no longer her biological parents because of her newfound identity. Besides, she had been in danger several times; she had been plotted against by a large number of people. Worse still, it was very likely that she had no idea who her biological parents were. If she could choose, she wouldn’t be the long-lost daughter of Marcus and Cate.
“A little.” He smiled quietly. “Our father loved to go fishing.”“That’s good...” She looked confused. If the Denmark family’s daughter had not been stolen, there would not have been so many incidents. Whether she was the baby or not, at least her life would not be a mess.“Come here, let me teach you,” he whispered.She took the fishing rod from his hand just as huge raindrops began to fall.“It’s really going to rain!” She raised her head in disbelief.Summer rain always came down hard, and out of nowhere, they were completely soaked by the time they got back to the car.Looking at the overcast sky, Ha
“You, you, you... Why are you at my house?” The red-haired man almost dropped the bath basin as he stepped back out of fear.“What? This is our guest!” The woman in the distance shouted at him.Joshua frowned a little. It was still raining heavily, and if they left, Hazel would very likely catch a cold. It seemed he had a better deal with the man.The red-haired man stood still for a moment, he was unsure what to do but then it was as if a lightbulb went off in his head. He whispered joyfully, “You may stay in my house, but can you teach me a few of the techniques you used? They were so cool!”“You want to learn?” Joshua took the bath basin and said quietly, “All right, but I have to help my wife with a bath first, th
Her eyes were a little misty. She trembled slightly and kissed him on the lips as her reply to his remark.His eyes had a deep and distant look, he turned away from her kiss. Hazel was in a daze, Joshua had never done that before.“Hazel,” he said quietly as his fingers slid gently across her cheek. “Do you really not trust me?”“Huh?” She was nervous instantly.“No matter how you teased me before, you were just joking, not really because you always remembered our agreement with your parents, and you were determined not to cross the line. But you can’t wait now.”His eyes were a little sharp. “You are afraid that we may not have a bright future, so you de
Whether her identity as Denmark’s daughter was real or not, she couldn’t keep running away from Joshua just to escape the problem.“Are you ready?” Joshua asked, his eyes deep.“Mmm.” Hazel nodded her head firmly. She knew she had to face reality.After Joshua and Hazel cleaned up the kitchen and walked to the car. When they got in the car, Joshua took out his phone and turned it on. Hazel was shocked, she hadn’t figured out why nobody bothered them during their getaway.She looked at him with curiosity and said, “Did you turn your phone off?”“Yes,” Joshua said quietly and smirked. “Of course, since I was on the run with you, I didn’t want anything
Hazel’s face darkened. Even if she had guessed that the girls were targeting her, she could live with that, but it really pissed her off that they kept insulting her.It didn’t appear that they had any intention of shutting up. One of the girls took out her phone and pointed the camera at Hazel. She excitedly said, “Guys, quickly undress her, slap her across the face, and burn her with cigarettes! I haven’t photographed such an exciting scene in a long time. I will post the photos on Twitter!”“Do you hear that?” The girl taking the lead said arrogantly, “You had better obediently let us beat you up to vent our anger. If you make us fight with you, you’ll definitely suffer!”Hazel looked at them coldly. “Is it Mandy who asked you to come?”
Hazel really didn’t want to let the girls go, especially Kathie. If she let her off the hook without any consequences, Kathie would think that she was afraid and would definitely come after her again. However, even if she couldn’t really teach her a lesson, she also couldn’t let Mandy get what she wanted.“You guys are quite skilled at picking on people.” Hazel asked coldly, “You often bully students in school, don’t you?”“We, we just play with the classmates to enhance their fondness of us,” said Kathie, reluctant to admit her mistakes.“Play? Enhance fondness?” Hazel sneered.Kathie once caused a girl in their class to cut her wrist, she was trying to commit suicide. Although the girl was sa
Mandy clenched her teeth in anger. Hazel was actually smart enough to use this to force her to admit to her crime. She could not win, if she said yes, she would offend the Denmark family and the Anderson family at the same time. However, if she said no, she would certainly offend Kathie Anderson.Taking a deep breath, Mandy’s tone was full of innocence, “Hazel, I know you dislike me. But even if Kathie offends you, she is still a child. Can’t you be generous enough to let her go? Why do you use a child to accuse me of committing some unwarranted crimes…”“You heard it,” Hazel said, looking calmly at Kathie. “She’s unwilling to save you.”“Mandy, you bitch!” shouted Kathie, who was extremely irritated.
Hazel was not as brazen as Joshua, but she leaned into his arms.Hearing Fred’s query, Hazel couldn’t stop herself from looking at Joshua with concern. Indeed, he was undoubtedly showing that he would protect her even if she did something wrong.“Unreasonable? Concealing mistakes?” Joshua looked at Fred with a smile on his face. “I don’t understand. Did Director Cohen misunderstand something? It’s Denmark Residence here, and it belongs to me. Hazel is my girlfriend, what’s wrong with her living here?”Everyone was dumbstruck. They wanted to drive Hazel away because they thought Denmark Residence was left by Marcus and Cate for their daughter, and with her identity unknown, Hazel was not qualified to live there. They thought they had come up with the perfect reaso
