Chapter 367: I Lost My Way

The only reply Hazel planned to give him was from the box she picked up from the restaurant. She had got two of them so that she could give one to the bodyguards, but it was about to become a weapon.

Hazel picked one up and threw it at the man. He put his arms up to block his face as he ran to hide and shouted, “Enough…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the second box hit him. Hazel had calculated the force she needed to use for it to hit him. He had no time to escape, and the box that Hazel opened before she threw it landed all over him.

The soup was flowing down his face when he stood up from behind a chair, he still had his mask on, but Hazel could sense his anger.

Hazel opened the second box before she threw it, so when it hit him,

"Awful woman," the man yelled with disgust. He fled straight to the bathroom, and he yelled, "You just wait!"

He opened the bathroom door and pulled the woman out into the room. Hazel was going to take the opportunity to escape, she ran toward the door, and the blonde who was half-dressed looked at her with surprise and said a lot in a foreign language.

"Step aside!" Hazel said angrily and pushed her.

Hazel glanced at her when she went by. No wonder the man said that she was a thin bean sprout, the blonde had large breasts. Hazel continued on her way and rushed out the door.

When she got to the hallway, Hazel ran toward the elevator, thankful that she had escaped. It was complete luck that she was able to get out of the room. She had taken a huge gamble when she spat on the man. When he wiped her lips before he attempted to kiss her, she assumed he was germaphobic, so she used it to her advantage.

She kept pushing the elevator button and yelling at it to hurry up. If the man caught her, she might not be able to escape. The elevator finally opened, and she ran in.

"Hazel?"

When she heard the familiar voice, she lifted her head and let out a sigh of relief.

"Joshua!" Hazel hugged him with joy, she no longer had to worry. As long as she saw Joshua, she was completely safe.

"What's wrong?" Joshua glimpsed slightly, gently stroking her hair.

"I lost my way..." Hazel's voice was a little choked. Joshua held her in his arms, she kept replaying what had just happened, and she began to cry.

"It's okay, it's okay." Joshua patted her back gently.

She calmed down a little and looked at him unexpectedly. "Didn't you say that you wouldn’t be back until seven o'clock? Why did you come back early?"

"Things were handled almost immediately, so I wanted to come back and wake you up," Joshua explained in a low voice.

The elevator door opened, and Joshua led Hazel to their suite. Joshua made Hazel a cup of tea, she took sips as she tried to calm down.

"Still afraid?" Joshua whispered.

"...Hum," Hazel's look was awkward. "You can tell?"

“Well,” Joshua said. “Can you tell me all about what happened?”

He hadn’t fully noticed how unstable Hazel’s mood was until that time, he didn’t want to ask anything that would hurt her more.

Hazel said truthfully, "I just lost my way, and it was okay. Then I saw a person who looked like you with a woman, so I chased them. But I made a mistake, the man wasn’t you. We had an argument, and then we fought…”

Joshua could tell that Hazel was hesitant, she didn’t want to tell Joshua. He didn’t ask anything more, he just waited quietly, if Hazel didn’t want to say anything, he didn’t want to force her to speak.

She took a deep breath then continued, "I didn’t go looking for a fight, but he almost took advantage of me. Thankfully, in the end, I managed to escape."

Joshua's eyes deepened slightly. No wonder she was so afraid when he saw her.

"That man, do you remember what he looks like?" Joshua whispered.

"I don't know," Hazel shook her head. "Because he was wearing a mask, but the mask had flowers on it.”

"Well, I understand," Joshua said in a low voice.

Hazel looked at him with some uneasiness; she didn’t want Joshua asking questions so that he could make trouble for the man.

"Joshua," Hazel said apologetically. "This time, it was my fault. I didn't let the bodyguards go with me. Then the only reason I followed him was that he looked like you and there was a woman who was very close to him…”

Looking at Hazel's shameful appearance, Joshua sighed. "Does that mean you were jealous?"

"...sorry, I should have trusted you!" Hazel lowered her head with guilt.

"No need to apologize, Hazel," Joshua reached out and gently held her face.

"You will be jealous. It also means that you care about me. This time I did not do well and failed to protect you.”

Hazel looked at him with pity. Why was Joshua like that? He had nothing to do with the situation, but he thought it was his fault.

"Do you want to take a bath?" Joshua suddenly asked.

"Ah... good idea." Hazel was stunned.

"Let's go." Joshua took her hand and led her to the bathroom.

Seeing that he wasn’t going to leave, Hazel looked at him awkwardly.

“You want to take a bath with me?” She asked curiously.

"I will help you," Joshua said with a smile.

He was hurting deep down in his heart, although there was nothing he could do to change what happened. Hazel only said that he almost touched her, but Joshua did not know to what extent. He didn’t blame Hazel, but he was not going to forgive the man. He didn’t want to do anything that might hurt Hazel, so he did not ask.

When he thought of another man touching Hazel, he was angry and upset.

He had to erase all traces of the man from Hazel’s body.

No matter how much Hazel resisted, in the end, she was always defeated by Joshua’s insistence. In the end, he helped her have a shower and washed her body gently.

Hazel put on her bathrobe and watched Joshua, who held a towel to help her dry her hair. She suddenly asked, "Joshua, aren’t you jealous?"
