Hazel was speechless, she did not expect that even when she was sitting quietly, Vanessa would refuse to let go of her.
"Joshua likes Hazel so much, I think she must be smart and clever. And therefore, this problem should be easy." Vanessa said with a strange tone.
Joshua’s eyebrows raised unpleasantly, but before he had opened his mouth, he heard Hazel say
without much care, “I really have a way to solve this problem.”
Vanessa was shocked. She had planned to embarrass Hazel. However, Hazel actually had a solution? What good idea could Hazel have?
She was afraid that no matter what Hazel said, Joshua would praise her. Professor Watson definitely wouldn’t pay much attention to this matter.
"Well, I will definitely be there." Hazel smiled and promised.Professor Watson was pleased when he left. Vanessa was full of resentment, but nothing else could be done, so she left.Hazel also wanted to leave, but Joshua stopped her.“Very happy?” he asked."Well," Hazel nodded happily, and his beautiful eyes were full of pride. "Because Professor Watson now knows that I have ideas. He knows that I am Hazel, not just your girlfriend.”Joshua smiled slightly, he liked seeing Hazel this way. She didn't need to use the title of somebody’s girlfriend or somebody’s wife to define herself. She is herself."You, why are you looking at me like that?" H
Hazel bit her lip. Karla was deliberately showing off in front of her. This kind of behavior was really naive."Karla!" Ivan's voice contained a bit of anger and reprimanded."Ivan, did I say something wrong?" Karla looked at him like she was being mistreated. "We are in a relationship. Both of us have already discussed an engagement, and your parents like me so much. My uncle also appreciates you. You don’t want to do anything that makes them upset, right?”Ivan’s face became ashen but, in the end, he just lowered his eyes.Hazel sighed, realizing that Ivan was not with Karla voluntarily but to please their parents and professor. Sacrificing his own happiness was the price he needed to pay.Karla looked at
"You want to bet?" Hazel took out her mobile phone."Do not worry, Miss, we will testify for you." The store manager said."We will also testify!" said the people in the crowd watching."You... you wait!" Karla looked at the crowd with anger. Seeing that she would not get any sympathy by staying, she snorted and left the store.Everyone gradually dispersed, Hazel gratefully said to the store manager, "Thank you.""Miss Crowe, you are welcome." The manager whispered, "Please come with me."Hazel was speechless, and the store manager actually recognized her? She followed the manager to the back office and saw that Joshua was waiting there.
Inside, Hazel had already burst into tears at the thought of leaving Joshua, but her personality was very stubborn, and she insisted she was fine.Professor Watson’s celebration banquet was at 8:00 in the evening. However, she did not plan any time to prepare for it, she was just happy that she was attending.She had finally started to get ready when her phone rang, she answered it, Vanessa was on the other end and said, "Hazel, let's meet."Hazel was a little scatter-brained and said, "We don't seem to have any reason to meet up?"There really was nothing for her and Vanessa to talk about, and the strangest part was that she wanted to meet up just before the Professor’s banquet."I have an important thing to tell
Hazel was annoyed at Joshua. If she went to ask, who would admit to her face that they misunderstood their relationship?Joshua was a real trouble maker, so she just gave up. Fortunately, these people were just like what Joshua said, although they were curious, they would not gossip and question Hazel.Joshua calmly greeted everyone and whispered to Hazel, "Let's go, we should go upstairs to meet the Professor."Hazel nodded, but before they had to go upstairs, they heard a noise at the door.They turned toward the door and saw Vanessa wearing a beautiful pink dress with a fair amount of her skin showing. She walked in with an arrogant smile and enjoyed all of the attention.Hazel's eyebrows raised faintly at seeing Vanessa&r
"Me?" Hazel was somewhat surprised."Yes, I don't have a sister, so I don't know what it feels like to be loved by a sister!"Becky grievously looked at her. "Do you hate me?"She looked like she was going to cry, so Hazel hurriedly said, "No, how can I hate you?""Then let's play!" Becky showed a happy smile and took Hazel toward the door."Becky!" Professor Watson's face sank.Hazel hurriedly said, "Professor Watson, it doesn't matter. It just happens that I have nothing to do. It will be okay to play with her.""Joshua, look at this..." Professor Watson looked at Joshua with some embarrassment.
"Becky, do you have a ladder?" Hazel thought for a moment. "If we put a ladder on the backside of the tree, I can help you get it down.”"No, no!" Becky shook her head. "Then we will be discovered by my mother. Hazel, we have to get it quietly!""You want me to go from here?" Hazel surprisingly pointed at the branches outside the balcony.The tree was some years old, and the branches that extended out of the balcony were strong enough, not too far from the balcony. But even if you turned, went over the balcony, and walked along the branches, it was still too dangerous."Yes, yes," said Becky. "Hazel, my brother used to sneak out and play here. He said it was safe. I am nervous and afraid to go there. You are an adult, you are definitely not afraid, right?"
Joshua knew Hazel was angry, since he rescued her, Hazel has been ignoring him."Yeah, I am angry," Hazel whispered and looked at him. "Joshua, that little girl has a crush on you and was willing to hurt me. Does she have a reason to think that this is okay?"Hazel, you can't blame me." Joshua was helpless, "I am not a bad guy, how can I be held responsible for her actions?""You are a bad guy!" Hazel talked back to her."Even if I am, it is for you." He smiled teasingly, "Hazel, do you want to try?"Hazel’s heartbeat suddenly sped. Was he going to do it? Here is Professor Watson’s home. Did Joshua really intend to do something to her here?"I don’t want to try,
