Chapter 283: Did She Cause Any Damage?

“You actually know the Flores family?” Jennie was somewhat surprised, “Did they also harass you?”

Hazel couldn’t find the words to reply, she just sighed.

"Hazel, Joshua has always been very affectionate, and I think you must've seen that." Jennie seemed to have guessed what Hazel was thinking, "He feels guilty for the death of Jughead, so it was inevitable for him to take care of the Flores family. I hope you can understand."

"I understand. He has always been such a kind person." Hazel whispered.

It was also because of his personality that he would continue trying to find her through various methods even after her parents passed away, and he would not hesitate to return everything from Denmark's family to her.

When Joshua cared for others wholeheartedly, he never really thought about himself, which was true to her and to the Flores family.

Hazel reached the recorder pen in her pocket. She felt a little depressed.

She had intended to hand it over to Joshua, but now it seemed that giving it to him would only make him embarrassed.

When the two returned from their chat, Joshua was waiting for them at the gate.

"Hazel, you go to see the kids again. They like you very much. They all want to see you." Jennie said.

Hazel nodded and turned to the classroom to spend some time with the children. Jennie carefully watched her walk into the building, then took the recording pen from her pocket and handed it to Joshua.

"Hazel threw it out, she didn’t know I saw her, so I grabbed it. I wanted you to get it back." Jennie said, "She seemed to be worrying about something, she didn’t even notice me pick it up. Although I am still not overly satisfied with her, you like her. I hope you can make it.”

"Thank you, Aunt Jennie." Joshua looked down at the recorder. Hazel had intended to give him yesterday, but she chose to throw it away. Was Hazel trying to hide some injustice for his sake? What a silly girl!

"Joshua, what had happened in the past has passed. You don't owe anyone. If you don't want to walk out of the past, you will only hurt people around you." Jennie said meaningfully.

"I understand," Joshua said. It was time for him to ease his consciousness.

After Joshua and Hazel spent some time at the orphanage, they said goodbye to the children and Jennie.

As they were driving back to the hotel, Joshua asked faintly, “The results of the DNA test, when will they be back?”

"The hospital said that we could have the results by tomorrow at the earliest." Hazel looked at him. "But I don't care about the results anymore. Joshua, I believe in you."

"The results of the identification are still needed." Joshua's eyes went dark.

Although Hazel didn't need the results, someone would.

He then asked, "Are you sure you still want me to drive you back to the hotel? Or somewhere else?"

"To the hotel." Hazel sighed. Rachel was still very reluctant to accept Joshua, so Hazel had to find another way.

"Good." Joshua nodded.

As his voice just fell, his phone suddenly rang. Joshua pressed the answer button, and his expression looked a little anxious.

After hanging up the phone, Joshua said faintly, "No hotel anymore. You are coming back to the Denmark Residence with me."

"Why?" Hazel asked curiously.

"Your mother went to Denmark Residence. She had just arrived." Joshua said calmly.

"...My mom?" Hazel was feeling a bit dizzy. She thought she had persuaded Rachel, but it turned out Rachel wanted to go to Denmark Residence to either find trouble or cause some of her own.

Hazel hurriedly asked, "Did she cause any damage?"

“Not yet,” Joshua said faintly. “It looks like she's just arrived.”

"What should I do?" Hazel looked at the time. "I am afraid that it will be dark by the time we get back. I really don't know what my mom will do..."

"Don't worry, Nanny Carter is there," Joshua said faintly. "They should be able to get along."

His comforting obviously did not have much effect.

When they arrived at Denmark Residence, Hazel rushed in and saw Rachel sitting in the living room talking with Nanny Carter.

"Look, it's okay," Joshua whispered.

"If only it was really okay..." Hazel saw the situation, but she felt weak.

Knowing her mom's style, Rachel probably wouldn’t do anything too nasty, but she had really keen eyes. Presumably, Rachel was observing everything that was happening in the Denmark Residence. Once Rachel collected enough "evidence," she would definitely take Hazel away without a second thought.

"Young Master, Miss Crowe, how have you been?" Nanny Carter greeted them.

"Fine." Hazel glanced at Rachel and asked Nanny Carter with a low voice,

"Nanny Carter, did my mom do anything outstanding?"

"Miss Crowe, look at what you said." Nanny Carter said uncomfortably, "Your mother is a very good person. We were having a good conversation."

Hazel felt even more upset. Rachel was especially good at getting information by talking to people. She would have gotten a lot from her conversation with Nanny Carter.

"Mom..." Hazel stood awkwardly at Rachel's side. She couldn't guess how many reasons Rachel had found to force her to leave Joshua.

"Mrs. Crowe," Joshua said calmly. "How about staying for dinner tonight?"

Rachel looked sharply at him as if she was looking at a suspect. When she last met him, she was completely annoyed with Joshua. After all, this man successfully sweet-talked her daughter, who she had for nearly twenty years.

Although she still hated Joshua, Hazel had actually made such big changes for him. That she was a little less annoyed and a bit more curious, she could not understand what was so good that Hazel could be so obsessed with him?

Joshua looked calm, and when Hazel thought her mom was going to refuse, Rachel nodded and answered, "With pleasure."

Hazel was stunned. She had thought Rachel had already prepared herself to start counting the crimes that Joshua had committed, but she actually agreed to stay for the dinner. Did Rachel just change her mind, or was it... was it just a test?

"Mom, what do you plan to do?" Hazel came to her side and whispered helplessly.

"Let's eat first." Rachel glanced at her, "You think I will tell you when you ask?"

Hazel was stunned and couldn't speak. She looked helplessly at Joshua. Her mom was too mighty, and now she could only pray for a happy ending.

The three of them walked to the table and sat down. Rachel looks at the dishes on the table, all Hazel's favorite. At least, Joshua really cared about her.
