Chapter 655: I’m Insecure
He carried her in his arms, and took her to sit down at the desk.
“Hazel, I’m seriously apologizing to you,” he whispered as his eyes looked deeper. “I just want to know if I’m against Simon, will you take my side or take his side?”
“You...” She was speechless with anger. “Do you still need to ask that kind of question?”
“I’m insecure,” Joshua said quietly. “Hazel, he accompanied you when you were the most helpless, and I can tell you to treat him differently. In fact… I really blame myself. Why not me who accompanied you in your most helpless time? Worse still, your helplessness is caused by me.”
She stared at him, dazed. It turned out that although Joshua didn’t say it explicitly, he was really jealous.
He had never mentioned Simon’s accompanying her to the hospital, but he had been caring about it. Yet, looking at his smile full of self-mockery, she had a heartache somehow.
“What a fool you are!” She took his hand and bit him hard on the wrist.
“... Hmm!” He endured pain and lightly groaned.
Soon there were tiny teeth marks on his wrist.
“I don’t have special feelings for him,” she said earnestly. “It is because he is your brother that I treat him differently. As for your question...”
His eyes twinkled.
“You didn’t even need to ask!” She took a deep breath. “No matter what, I’m on your side. If it’s really his fault, of course, I’ll take your side, but if he’s innocent, I certainly don’t hope there would be any misunderstanding or bad blood between both of you who are biological brothers. Joshua, I wish you can own many, many good things.”
Joshua looked slightly moved. He had always known Hazel’s heart, but he was still touched to hear her explanation.
“Hazel…” He kissed her gently on the lips.
The kiss had a feverish heat. She responded to him passionately. Their kiss deepened until she gasped, and he had to let her go.
“Then... Do you really not believe he did those things?” she asked nervously.
He gave the tip of her nose a gentle tap. “Of course, I don’t believe it.”
“But...what you said just now...” She was confused. Although her intuition told her that it could never be Simon who had done those things, her insistence really wavered at the moment when Joshua said so much circumstantial evidence.
“The evidence is so obvious that it appears false,” he said lightly. “If Simon is really so silly, he’s not worthy of being my brother.”
She felt speechless. Why was there disdain in Joshua’s eyes? Why did she feel Joshua was boasting himself?
“So what are you going to do now?” she asked.
“What do you think the people who point all the evidence to Simon want to see?” There was a deep light in his eyes.
“He wants to see….” She hesitated and then finally said, “You who are brothers turn against each other and kill each other.”
“Yeah,” he nodded.
Suddenly, another email arrived at Joshua’ mailbox. He chuckled. “This must be new evidence. Do you believe it?”
“Of course.” She nodded her head. How could she not believe Joshua?
When he clicked open the email, there was some evidence in Country M. Of course, they all pointed to Simon.
“The other side is brilliant,” he said lightly. “He sent it in Michael’s name.”
“Michael wants to be friends with you, so it’s kind of reasonable if he does some research for you,” she analyzed. “It looks like the other party is a wily guy who not only knows everything that’s going on around us but even knows very well who is the right person to do something.”
“You’re right,” he said, calmly glancing at the emails before directly sending the two emails to Simon. “Why don’t we just help the other party since he set such a large trap?”
Her eyes lit up. “So you’re trying to lure him into exposing himself?”
“My wife is very clever.” He kissed her gently on the lips and whispered, “Are you tired? Simon will be here soon.”
“No,” she said, shaking her head lightly. “I want to be with you.”
A smile curved his lips. “Good.”
These two emails were like two heavy bombs. Soon, Simon hastily arrived at Joshua’s villa.
However, he was stopped outside the villa.
“You don’t know me?” Simon was furious. “How dare you stop me?”
“Master Simon,” said one of the bodyguards at the gate. “Master Joshua told us that we must stop you. Please leave.”
In an instant, Simon was more furious. What did Joshua mean? Did Joshua really suspect him?
“Get out of the way!” he growled with a cold aura. Now he was really disappointed and irritated.
“Please leave, Master Simon.” The bodyguard remained unmoved.
Simon punched the bodyguard hard in the face, and the bodyguard, who was caught off guard, quickly ducked his next fist.
But the next moment, Simon took out a gun and said coldly, “Don’t stop me!”
“You’re giving us a hard time….” The bodyguard was helpless.
“I’ll be in charge if anything happens!” Simon said coldly.
The bodyguard made way.
Standing on the second floor, Hazel, who looked out the window and saw this scene, couldn’t help but tremble with fear and nervousness.
“Wouldn't that be too much?” She frowned and asked Joshua, “There was almost an accident.”
“The more real the conflict between Simon and me is, the more possibilities we can hide our real intention from the person who is up to no good,” he spoke quietly.
“Aren’t you afraid there would be a real gunfight accidentally or something?” She sighed with resignation.
“No,” he said peacefully. “Simon isn’t that stupid. He knows that if he really shoots, then his chances of making his peace with us will be even smaller.”
She looked at him with adoration.
“Don’t look at me like that, Hazel,” he said as his eyes became deep. Then, looking at her tender lips, he could not help kissing them.
“Bang!” The door was pushed open by a great force.
“Joshua Denmark!” Simon cried angrily. “What do you mean!”
But the next moment, he froze slightly in the doorway.
And the two people who kissed tightly had to separate helplessly. Joshua looked at Simon disapprovingly, with a little coolness in his eyes.
This guy came too soon!
“You must tell me clearly what happened today,” Simon didn’t care much and snapped, clenching his teeth. “What do you mean by asking those people to stop me from entering the villa? Did you really believe those emails? Are you crazy? I'm your brother, how could I betray you?”
