Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“Hazel, would you like to come with me?” Joshua’s eyes glistened with anticipation.

“Yes!” Hazel nodded heavily. “When are you going to go?”

She was so busy with her own affairs these days that she never thought about understanding Joshua’s past. She wanted to know everything about Joshua instead of relying on him endlessly.

“I’m going to go tomorrow,” Joshua asked. “Are you free tomorrow?”

“Yes, yes,” Hazel said hurriedly. “I’ll be free even if I’m not available.”

Joshua gave a chuckle, and his eyes twinkled slightly. “Then… you may stay tonight.”

“What do you want?” Hazel looked at him warily. “Don’t forget…”

“I have not forgotten the three rules.” There was hidden bitterness in his eyes. “I just want you to stay tonight, Hazel, so we can go to the orphanage together tomorrow morning.”

“Even if I don’t stay over, you can pick me up tomorrow morning…” said Hazel a little embarrassedly.

“The orphanage is in the suburbs, and it will be time-consuming to pick you up.” He explained patiently. In fact, it would take very little time even if he went to pick her up, he just wanted to find a reason for Hazel to stay over.

“All right, then.” Hazel hesitated and finally agreed.

This was not the first time Hazel stayed at Denmark Residence, so she was comfortable saying she was going to bed early. She wanted to be rested to go to the orphanage.

Joshua gently pushed the door open, but Hazel was already asleep. He walked to the bed and ran his fingers over her cheek.

Hazel was sleeping deeply, and she was completely unaware of it. It looked as if she was sleeping soundly. Joshua could not help but sigh. Did she trust him? After all, he was a normal man. Every time he remembered he had promised the Crowe family about three rules, he felt a little regretful in his heart. He should have fought with them for more, he could only hope that Hazel would graduate soon.

Frowning slightly, Joshua leaned over to pick Hazel up from her bed.

Hazel snorted. His face changed slightly as he thought she was going to wake up. But Hazel just frowned and, the next moment, she leaned closer in his arms.

Joshua breathed a sigh of relief and took her to his bedroom, where he gently placed her on the bed and gently hugged her.

Hazel woke up this morning and started to move around. It was so warm beside her that she could not help but rub against it.

No… Hazel opened her eyes suddenly.

Looking at Joshua’s pretty face so close to her, Hazel’s brain became muddled instantly. Why would Joshua be in her bed?

“Joshua!” Hazel shouted as she freaked out. “Joshua Denmark! This is my room. How did you get in?!”

“Hazel, you have to be reasonable. This is clearly my room.” Joshua opened his eyes, his eyes flashing innocently.

“How can it be? It’s clearly mine…” Hazel looked around, surprised. Was it really Joshua’s room?! How did that happen?

“How did I get here? What did you do to me?” she asked crossly.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“That’s the question I should be asking,” Joshua looked as if he didn’t know anything. “Why did you come here? What did you do to me?”

Looking at Joshua innocently hugging the quilt and looking wronged as if she had taken advantage of him, Hazel was perplexed.

Hazel was irritated. “No! You must have picked me up in the middle of the night, didn’t you?!”

Joshua raised his brows slightly and said with a calm face. “Hazel, aren’t you used to lock the door? How do I get into your room and take you out?”

Hazel was in a daze and speechless. She did lock the door from the inside last night.

“Hazel, you don’t have a problem with sleepwalking, do you?” Joshua held out laughter and quietly misled her.

“No way…” Hazel was blank. She had never had an issue sleepwalking or anything.

“Then how did you get into my room?” he asked. “Is it because— you dreamt what you think about during the day and came to my room?

Hazel was more confused. She had just woken up, her mind was not clear, and Joshua’s wronged, innocent expression made her more confused.

Did it mean she really ran into Joshua’s room? There was nothing unusual about her body, but there shouldn’t be anything between her and Joshua.

“What a dream!” Hazel shyly threw a pillow at him and turned around to get out of bed.

Joshua’s eyes twinkled slightly, and he caught her wrist as fast as he could. Hazel only felt a surge of force on her wrist, and she fell back into Joshua’s arms.

“Hazel, you have slept with me, and you’re responsible for me,” Joshua said seriously.

What fucking responsibility?! Why did Joshua pose as a victim when Hazel was embarrassed?! She didn’t even know what was going on, okay? And how could she be responsible?

The next moment, Hazel angrily pushed him to the bed, saying fiercely, “I like to sleep with others for free and don’t like to be responsible. What do you want to do about that?”

“That…” Joshua chuckled with a spark in the eyes. “How many more nights are you sleeping here?”

“You wish!” Hazel’s cheeks were blushed slightly, and she ran out with shame and irritation.

Joshua chuckled and did not run after her. Hazel was going to the orphanage with him today, and he was not afraid she would run away.

After breakfast, they headed to the orphanage together, and Hazel didn’t talk much on the way.

Apparently, she ignored Joshua, and she still hadn’t quite figured out what was going on. Though she was more suspicious of Joshua’s bad behavior, Joshua didn’t admit it at all, and she had no evidence of it.

When they reached the orphanage, Hazel still wore a straight face.

Noticing she was about to get out of the car, Joshua stopped her, “Hazel.”

“What for?” Hazel looked at him quietly.

“You would scare the kids,” he whispered.

Hazel was in a daze. It was an orphanage they were at. She definitely shouldn’t show the kids an unhappy face.

She quickly reached out her hand and patted her cheeks. She had been angry all the way, so her face was a little stiff.

Joshua chuckled slightly, and he whispered, “Let’s help you.”

He kissed her gently on the lips.

“You…” Hazel was angry and amused. But her expression softened.

“Come on.” Joshua pushed the door open.

As soon as Hazel got out of the car, she saw a girl who was five or six running up to Joshua, happily clutching his leg. “Dad, Dad, you finally come to us!”

Dad?

Hazel looked at the little girl and felt instantly baffled. She looked at Joshua blankly. “Joshua Denmark, is she, is she your daughter?”

Joshua picked the little girl up, and there was a twinkle of banter in his eye, “Yes, this is indeed my daughter.”
