Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Hazel was horrified, although she knew her mother only wished the best for her, it sounded like nobody wanted to marry her. Hazel nodded her head and continued to eat. When they were about halfway through their meal, Rachel’s cell phone rang.

Rachel quickly answered and grabbed her coat, “You two keep on eating. I got an emergency call, and I’ve to go to work.”

“I’ve got to go too.” Harry looked at his phone, “A patient needs emergency treatment.”

“Dad, Mom, take this to eat on the road.” Hazel hurriedly packed the food in two lunch boxes and gave them.

Rachel touched Hazel’s head and sighed, “My little pumpkin, I am sorry. I can’t even spend time with you during the vacation.”

“It’s okay.” Hazel said, “Just go ahead. I’m old enough to take care of myself now.”

After her parents left, the house was completely silent, Hazel returned to the table and couldn’t help but smile. Her dad was a doctor and her mom a policewoman, both of them loved her very much and worked a lot since Hazel was a baby, so she was used to it. However, in the past, her brother was with her; this time, she was alone.

Hazel picked at her food for a bit, but then she unexpectedly felt very lonely. She frowned as she sat there thinking, did she forget something?

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she picked up her cell phone. She realized that after she got off the plane, she forgot to call Joshua. He had repeatedly told her to do so when she arrived, but she was too excited when she just got home and completely forgot her promise.

Just as she was about to call, her phone rang, it was Joshua. Hazel answered the phone, a little ashamed.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Are you home?” He asked.

“Yeah,” Hazel said quietly.

“Is it convenient to speak now?” Joshua asked thoughtfully.

“Convenient.” Hazel looked at the empty house, sighing.

“What’s wrong?” He whispered.

She hesitated and finally told Joshua the truth.

“That is, now you are alone at home?” Joshua raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Yeah,” Hazel said helplessly.

“When are they coming back?” Joshua then asked.

“I don’t know, but according to the previous situation, they probably won’t be back before twelve o’clock,” Hazel said.

“Okay, I got it,” Joshua whispered.

Hazel was stunned.

Why was Joshua talked in a strange tone, and what did he get? But she didn’t care too much to ask anything further, they talked about her flight and then hung up.

It started to get dark out when Hazel heard from her mother, who told her to order something for supper. She couldn’t help but smile, she knew her parents were so busy, but they still took the time to care for her.

While Hazel was ordering her takeout, Joshua called again.

“Hey!” Hazel answered the phone a little surprised.

“What do you have to eat tonight?” Joshua asked.

“I don’t know, some takeout food,” Hazel said casually.

“You aren’t eating at home?” He frowned.

“There are some leftovers from lunch,” Hazel said. “But I don’t really want to heat it up. After all, I don’t want to blow up the kitchen for a meal.”

Joshua chuckled, it turned out this little girl was self-aware.

“Go to the refrigerator.” He whispered.

“Ah?” Hazel was amazed but still did what he said.

“What’s inside?”

“There is fish, shrimp, everything.”

“What do you want to eat?” He asked.

“Why, are you going to make food for me?” Hazel asked with a smile.

“Yeah,” Joshua whispered.

Hazel was amazed, “What do you mean, yeah?”

“Help you cook.” Joshua said, “Open the door, please.”

Hazel shook her hand and almost threw the phone down on the sofa, she could not believe her ears.

Joshua not only said to cook for her but actually wanted her to open the door?

No way! He should be in the Imperial Capital now. There was a knock at the door, she rushed to it and looked out the peephole.

Joshua was standing in front of the door at her house, she suddenly felt scared and unsure if she should open the door.

“Hazel,” Joshua said, “If you don’t open the door now, I’m afraid your neighbor will see me.” Hazel hurriedly opened the door.

Joshua walked in, Hazel hastily closed the door and was a little upset with him.

“Why are you here?”

“I said that we would see each other soon.” Joshua smiled lightly. Hazel did not expect they would meet this “soon”!

“Need to change shoes?” Joshua asked. Hazel reluctantly took out a pair of her brother’s slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to him.

Joshua changed his shoes and followed her into the living room.

“My house is quite small,” Hazel hurriedly collected all the snack bags on the coffee table in the living room. She said, a little embarrassed, “You, you sit down first. I will get you a cup of coffee.”

“Don’t be busy.” Joshua turned to the kitchen. “What do you want to eat?”

“You really want to cook for me?” Hazel murmured.

“Otherwise, what do you think I am going to do?” Joshua calmly opened the refrigerator.

“Can you?” Hazel looked at him.

Joshua always had someone to take care of his daily life, he calmly took the ingredients out of the fridge and said, “Yes, I can.”

Hazel was convinced. She couldn’t help but ask, “Joshua, is there anything you cannot do?”

“Yes.” He thought for a moment and said faintly.

“What?” Hazel asked curiously.

“I cannot stop loving you.” He looked at her with a dark and deep pair of eyes, with a warmth that could melt the iceberg.

Hazel’s heart was pounding so loud she was sure that Joshua could hear it.

“What are you talking about?” Hazel began to wash the vegetables when Joshua suddenly grabbed her wrist.

“What are you doing?” she asked shyly.

“That is what I was going to ask you, what are you doing?” Joshua looked at her palms.

“Help you wash the vegetables, although I can’t cook…” Hazel looked down and discovered she was holding two eggs!

“Do you normally wash eggs before eating them?” Joshua asked with a smirk.
