Chapter 118: Are You Angry?
Chapter 118: Are You Angry?
“Be careful! You are an adult now, why are you still so careless?” Ronald said with criticism on the other end of the phone.
“Mmm…” Hazel unconsciously said.
She was really going crazy after Joshua unexpectedly attacked her while she was on the phone with Ronald. She had to endure it, though, or else Ronald would figure out something more was happening.
“Brother, I am a little tired. I want to go to sleep early,” she said quickly.
“Why are you going to bed so early?” There was a surprise in Ronald’s voice. “Don’t you always stay up late? Don’t you especially like to do that?”
“I’m tired because I took the bus today,” she whispered.
“Okay. Your voice does sound a little dull. Goodnight,” Ronald said.
After quickly hanging up the phone, Hazel couldn’t help but groan because of the pleasant feeling from her body.
Joshua was shocked and kissed her lips despite himself. He murmured, “Hazel, you’re a goblin!”
“Let, let me go! I want to get even!” She stared at him with shame and anger. This bastard had kissed her almost everywhere except between her legs.
“Get even? How?” He chuckled. “Shall we change our position, and it will be your turn?”
Hazel grit her teeth angrily. “Joshua Denmark! Why did you bother me when I was on the phone?”
“Why were you so attentive when you were talking to other men on the phone?” He could not help saying, with jealousy in his words.
“What other men...” she looked at him speechlessly. “That’s my brother!”
“Your brother is a man, too,” he said with some displeasure.
She was so pissed off by him that she almost laughed. She knew Joshua was a jealous man, but she didn’t expect he would be so jealous.
“A brother is different,” she tried to persuade him. “If I were your younger sister, would you consider me as other women?”
“Hazel, you’re not my younger sister,” he said solemnly, his eyes becoming deep.
She explained, “I mean if…”
“No ‘if,’ he said quietly, “the fact is that we are not related by blood, not siblings.”
“... All right.” His sudden seriousness slightly surprised her.
Joshua looked at her with deep eyes, which made Hazel’s heart race again.
“Hazel, are you really unwilling?” He asked in a low voice, his fingers running across her cheek.
Understanding what he was asking, she bit her lip. “Joshua, give me a little more time. I’m not ready.”
“Okay,” He said in a deep voice.
All of a sudden, she felt lighter. Looking at Joshua putting on his clothes, she felt somewhat surprised.
How could he let her go so easily? Did she say something wrong? She felt he seemed to be angry for some reason.
“Joshua...” She looked at him blankly. “Are you angry?”
“No.” He turned his head around and watched her casually sitting on the bed. The flaming desire in his heart rose again. “Hazel, you are going to give me the wrong impression about me leaving if you keep sitting like that.”
She came to her senses and screamed as she hurried to pull a quilt to cover her body.
He whispered, “I’m leaving. Remember to dry your hair before you go to bed. I’ll have the servant change the sheet and quilt for you later.”
“Oh,” she said shyly.
“Lock the door if you’re having a bath somewhere else,” he said to her.
“I’ll definitely remember!” She clenched her teeth. Suddenly, she came to her senses and said, a little exasperated, “I’ll remember even if it’s here.”
He gave a chuckle in a clean, pleasant tone and walked over to her.
In an instant, she was very tense, but he just gently kissed her on the forehead. “Good night.”
“Mmm...” she said softly, and her previous anger had turned into unspeakable sweetness.
Hazel suffered from insomnia after Joshua left her room. It was nearly dawn before she finally got some sleep, but even in her dreams, her mind was consumed by Joshua’s figure.
Joshua went to check on her since she had not gone downstairs for breakfast. He knocked at the door for a long time before she opened the door sleepily.
“What’s the matter?” he asked thoughtfully, looking at her listless face.
“I didn’t sleep well last night.” she yawned.
He frowned slightly.
“By the way, you said yesterday you would take me to the amusement park, didn’t you?” she asked with another yawn.
He felt a little sleepy watching her yawn one after another.
“Yes.” He nodded.
“I don’t want to go. Let me sleep today,” she said wearily.
He mused. “We’re not going to the amusement park, but another place.”
“I’m very sleepy…” She looked at him drowsily.
“Rest assured.” he whispered, “You’ll love that place very much, and it’ll make you comfortable.”
“Oh?” She was still a little dull and asked blankly, “Should I change into something more formal?”
“No.” He whispered, “You’ll take it off in the end.”
After eating breakfast in a daze, she followed Joshua to the car and suddenly realized what he had said.
“Wait!” She looked at him hastily. “Did you mention we’ll have to take off our clothes in the end?”
“Huh?” He looked at her quietly. It seemed like she was really sleepy as it took her so long to realize what he had said.
“I know I’m a little dull today,” she said unhappily. “But you don’t have to look at me uncaringly like I have something wrong with me.”
He could not help but chuckle. “Whatever I said, you’re in the car now. Are you going to jump out?”
“I can jump,” she murmured.
She looked around, and suddenly her face was full of hesitation. “Joshua, this isn’t the car you used to drive.”
Most of his cars were business cars which made it easier for him to work on official business on it.
Instead of the Maybach that Joshua used, she was in an extended version of a Mercedes business car.
“There’s something wrong with that car. It’s being repaired,” he said simply.
“I see.” She nodded and didn’t think much of it.
Suddenly, she said angrily, “Don’t change the subject. We’re talking about where we’re going!”
“... It’s you who changed the subject.” he was helpless.
She was sad. She was so sleepy that her mind was in a complete mess.
“... Ahem, don’t pay attention to these details.” She asked vigilantly, “Where are you taking me?”
“Don’t worry, you’ll love the place.” A firm smile curved his lips.
