Chasing The Fierce Heiress

She thought, “What the hell is going on? Why is Joshua’s phone in a woman’s hand?”

“Mrs. Denmark…” The driver, who had been waiting next to her, could not help reminding, “Get in the car first, please.”

Hazel came to her senses, nodded, and muddle-headed got into the car.

During the past few days, she felt like her heart was on a roller coaster, going up and down all the time.

She wanted to trust Joshua, but every time she decided to trust him without hesitation, he would do something that upset her.

Did she think too much?

No, it should be said that Joshua was really keeping something from her these days. She wouldn’t have been so paranoid if his behavior hadn’t been so furtive.

It couldn’t go on like this. She must get to the bottom of this!

Her phone rang soon after she got in the car.

It was Joshua. Hazel glared at it for a moment and then answered the phone.

“Hazel,” Joshua said in a gentle voice, “did you call me?”

“… Yes,” Hazel whispered. She had doubts in her mind, but she knew the order of priorities, so she told him about Ted first. “In other words, he did it because he wanted you to forgive him,” she concluded.

“So… My wife has already had an admirer for two days?” he spoke slowly.

Hazel was very stunned. She didn’t keep it a secret because the incident involved Paul. She didn’t say much about Paul, but Joshua got the point right away! No, it was clear that what he first paid attention to was wrong! “You’ve got the wrong point…” she couldn’t help but ridicule.

“How can you do that?” His voice turned deep slightly. “What could be more important than someone trying to chase my wife? But, honey, you never mentioned it to me before. So you think the man is good?”

“How is that possible?” She felt slightly angry and amused. “Joshua, don’t be jealous all the time! I didn’t tell you because I didn’t care about him!”

“Really?” he asked thoughtfully.

“Of course!” she said helplessly.

A chuckle came from the other end of the phone as he whispered, “Honey, I trust you.”

Hearing his words, she felt somewhat sweet in the heart and said with a little shyness, “You are too easily jealous!”

“Because I love you,” he whispered. “Hazel, I can have nothing, but I can’t live without you.”

Hazel’s heart pounded. Her resistance to Joshua’s sweet words was always negative.

“We are an old married couple. Don’t…” she could not help saying. But as soon as she said that, her cheeks turned even redder as she exclaimed in her heart, “Oh, my god, what did I say? I naturally said Joshua and I are an old married couple?”

Thinking of all this, she hung up the phone with shyness.

When the phone was suddenly hung up, Joshua looked at the screen with amazement. The next moment, he couldn’t help but chuckle. After they had stayed together for a long time, Hazel was still so shy.

Putting away his phone, Joshua said to Simon, who was busy, “Simon, I’m going to leave early this afternoon. You’ll be in charge of the business.”

“What?” Simon was furious. “Joshua Denmark, is this your business or mine? You actually want to leave all this to me?”

“I really have something urgent,” Joshua said lightly. “Someone tries to steal my wife.” Simon froze and then burst into laughter.

“Oh my god. Who is so bold as to steal your wife? Okay, okay, I’ll let you go today, but it must not happen again.”

“Got it,” Joshua impatiently agreed. After hanging up the phone, Hazel drew in a few deep breaths, but soon she found that she had been misled by Joshua and hadn’t asked him some important questions: How should she treat Ted? Who was the woman answering the phone…

Hazel’s eyes became a little dim, but soon, they brightened.

Maybe that was just an accident. But, nevertheless, she chose to believe Joshua.

In the afternoon, Hazel was surprised to find that Paul was not in class.

Since he didn’t bother her, Hazel was very happy.

“Have you heard that?” Then, when Hazel was packing up, Linda whispered, “It’s said that Paul wants to drop out.”

“Oh?” Hazel was even more surprised.

“Really?”

“Of course, it’s true. When walking by the office, one of our classmates heard that Paul asked the teacher to refund his tuition. Do you think he drops out because he feels he has lost face?”

Hazel was speechless. It seemed that it was true that he dropped out of school. She said those words to threaten Paul so that he wouldn’t harass her anymore, but she didn’t expect him to be so frightened. Anyway, it was good for him to drop out of school to be embarrassed to meet her later.

Suddenly, Hazel and Linda heard a noise outside the door.

“Gosh, there’s a handsome man downstairs!”

“He’s going upstairs! I suppose he’s looking for someone!”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Who is he looking for? Wow! Who knows such a handsome gentleman? I want to talk to him!”

****

These voices came from outside the door, drawing Hazel’s and Linda’s attention.

“Hazel, let’s go to see what happened,” Linda said curiously.

“You may go yourself. I won’t,” Hazel said with a smile. “No man is as handsome as my husband. I’m going home.”

Linda incredulously looked at her.

All of a sudden, the exclamation came closer and closer.

When Hazel stood up, she suddenly saw a tall figure beside her.

She looked up in shock. It was none other than Joshua!

Today he seemed more handsome than ever. He was so handsome that Hazel, who saw him every day, was shocked. He was like the sun. He seemed perfect without defects!

“You, why are you here?” Her cheeks flushed slightly.

“I’m here to take you home,” he replied with a smile and took her bag with one hand. His other hand reached out and naturally took her hand. “Come on, honey.”

“Fine…” Hazel agreed with a little shyness. Then, in the others’ eyes, Joshua took her to walk out of the classroom.

The other girls were both envious and heartbroken. Such a good-looking man had had his lover!

As Joshua and Hazel walked out of the classroom, they happened to meet Paul, who quit school and was ready to leave. When Paul saw Joshua, he looked very dejected.
