Chapter 531: How Would I Regret Meeting You?

It was Joshua calling. Hazel rubbed her forehead with a headache.

Even if Simon did not tell Joshua what had happened to her, the people around her would report it to Joshua. She always knew Joshua cared about her very much.

But was Joshua really not abroad? Besides, what were he and Simon up to? Why did he keep it from her? Was it because he was afraid that she might slow them down or because what they were about to do was too dangerous?

Either way, it made her very uncomfortable.

These questions kept pestering her. She didn’t know whether she should ask Joshua directly.

If the truth wasn’t like what she guessed, wouldn’t it mean she didn’t believe him if she asked?

Forget it... Hazel held back the puzzle in her heart. If Joshua were doing something important, it would only bother him if she asked.

He didn’t want her to know, so she just pretended that she knew nothing.

Taking a deep breath, Hazel answered the phone.

“Hazel, are you still scared?” Joshua’s warm, worried voice sounded.

Hazel came to her senses. She shook her head subconsciously. But then she remembered Joshua could not see her shaking her head.

She couldn’t help patting her head, upset.

She was really confused about what had just happened.

“I’m a little scared... But it’s all right. I’m safe now,” Hazel replied slowly. It was not the first time this kind of thing had happened to her. She was a little jumpy, but she seemed… to be getting used to it.

Joshua’s fingers tightened slightly after he heard her words.

Hazel didn’t complain, but either way, it was because of him that she was put in such danger.

“Hazel, do you regret it?” Joshua whispered.

Hazel froze slightly. Subconsciously, she asked, “Why?”

“If… you hadn’t met me, you might never have encountered these dangers,” Joshua said slowly.

He remembered Hazel saying that meeting him made her so unlucky and even saying she just wanted to be a plain Hazel, who had nothing to do with him.

His beliefs were once shaken by her words. He wouldn’t frown even if it cost his life to protect her. But if she flinched and regretted, how could he keep his faith? She was the only one who could shake him because all he wanted was to make her happy.

“What are you talking about?” Hazel snapped angrily, “How could I ever regret meeting you?”

Joshua felt that his hanging heart was relieved. He would carry on as long as she needed him.

Hazel angrily added, as if she was afraid that he couldn’t believe her, “Listen up, Joshua. If I hadn’t met you, I might never have found my biological parents or found out what they had suffered. I might have been safe if I hadn’t met you, but I would never have been able to live such a wonderful life or know what it feels like to love someone so deeply...”

Her voice trailed off, but she had spoken to such an extent that she could say no more. She was just speaking her mind.

Joshua’s heart was filled with warmth and joy. His hesitation had vanished.

“Hazel, meeting you is the best thing that has ever happened to me,” Joshua spoke softly. Now he was desperate to fly home and hold her tightly in his arms and kiss her! But it was a pity that now he...

He had thought his life would be just bland, but Hazel’s emergence added color to his life. She might be the most beautiful scenery in his life, and he was willing to sacrifice everything he had to care for her and accompany her.

“Mmm, well, you should have something to do now?” Hazel asked,

“Well.” Joshua nodded as his voice became a little deep.

During the few days after he left, he had already heard from Ted. Instead of hiding, Ted openly asked someone to give Joshua an invitation card, inviting Joshua to meet him.

He was holding the delicate invitation card in his hand now. The whole card became curved due to his grip, but he did not notice it at all.

Ted’s direct invitation left him, and Simon puzzled. However, there was at least one thing they could be sure of; that was Ted was up to no good.

Now all he needed to do was buy time and get everything ready as soon as possible.

“Then go ahead with your business,” Hazel said, forcing a smile. “No matter how things go, you have to come home safe.”

Joshua’s eyelids twitched. Did Hazel detect something? He felt what she said today sounded strange for some reason.

“Hazel, I’m just on a business trip. How could I not be safe?” He chuckled. “Don’t worry.”

“It’s always good to be careful,” Hazel said, biting her lip slightly. “Just remember that I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Mmm, I’ll be back as soon as I can.” He promised.

After hanging up, Hazel felt her fingers were trembling.

Joshua didn’t tell her anything, but she was sure he was preparing something under the table and that it was stressful and possibly very dangerous.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t ask her if she regretted meeting him.

She couldn’t just wait. The bad feeling that had been hovering over her head seemed to grow more obvious.

Hazel didn’t sleep well all night. She really couldn’t stop worrying about Joshua. At least she wanted to know what he was exactly doing.

Early in the morning, Hazel got up early and led a large group of people to Simon’s house.

When he arrived at Imperial Capital, Simon bought a house, which was a villa in the wealthy neighborhood of Imperial Capital. Plus, he told Hazel the address a long time ago. However, Hazel, who didn’t care, had never been there.

But today, she directly broke in.

Simon was having breakfast. When he saw Hazel, he almost spat out the milk he had just drunk.

“Pumpkin, what are you doing here early in the morning?” he asked, getting up.

“Where are those people you have caught?” Hazel sat down on the couch. “I happen to be free today. I want to interrogate them and know who sent them to catch me?”

Those people who wanted to catch her were likely Joshua’s enemies this time. The other party knew she was Joshua’s weakness, so they plotted against her. As long as they could catch her, they could control Joshua.

Then she would interrogate them, making them tell her something.
