Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Joshua knew Hazel was angry, since he rescued her, Hazel has been ignoring him.

“Yeah, I am angry,” Hazel whispered and looked at him. “Joshua, that little girl has a crush on you and was willing to hurt me. Does she have a reason to think that this is okay?

“Hazel, you can’t blame me.” Joshua was helpless, “I am not a bad guy, how can I be held responsible for her actions?”

“You are a bad guy!” Hazel talked back to her.

“Even if I am, it is for you.” He smiled teasingly, “Hazel, do you want to try?”

Hazel’s heartbeat suddenly sped. Was he going to do it? Here is Professor Watson’s home. Did Joshua really intend to do something to her here?

“I don’t want to try, I don’t.” Hazel suddenly stunned, “I believe you, okay?”

Joshua kissed her on her lips gently at first but then suddenly Hazel pulled away and screamed, Joshua had bitten her. She looked at him with her eyes full of questions and accusations.

“I have some worse behaviors. Do you want to try?” he asked.

“I don’t want to try, really,” Hazel was sad and helpless, “I believe you.”

Joshua explained in a low voice, “Hazel, I saw her several times, but I just talk to her as a young child. Besides, what do little girls at that age understand?”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He explained it sincerely, and she could not continue to be angry.

Taking a deep breath, Hazel said bitterly, “Joshua, I just think that you are too popular. In fact, I didn’t think of any of this as reality until now…”

“Have you thought about my previous proposal?” Joshua suddenly said, “Hazel, let’s get married. Will that make it feel real?”

Hazel was shocked.

Joshua had not mentioned this proposal for a long time, but it still made her feel uncomfortable, she did not know how to deal with it. She contemplated for a moment on how to answer him, but all she could think was that only Joshua would bring up random questions, like marriage.

“You are joking, my family still doesn’t know about you. How can I marry you without telling them?” Hazel said hurriedly.

Joshua opened his mouth and said, “I will arrange it so that your parents can meet me…”

“How do you say something one moment and then expect to have it the next?” Hazel questioned.

Joshua thought for a while, “It seems that you don’t love me enough?”

Hazel was a bit embarrassed but eventually nodded.

“Well, let’s take it slow.” Joshua took her hand. “Let’s go to the banquet first.”

Hazel hoped she had sorted things out with Joshua. Although the thought of it was thrilling, she was not ready for marriage; especially after the evening she already had, she was just thankful she was not injured, and her clothes were not destroyed.

The two walked out of the room and saw Professor Watson and his wife were coming out of another room. They joined them to walk downstairs, Vanessa was at the bottom of the stairs and saw that Joshua and Hazel were walking hand in hand.

Vanessa’s face was filled with anger as she drank another glass of red wine, she could not believe them.

There was a line up to congratulate Professor Watson, Joshua and Hazel stood in line while Vanessa watched them closely, Hazel was still looking proud, but for how long, she thought.

When everyone was done speaking to the Professor, he greeted the crowd, “Thank you all for coming. I do not have much to say except for I hope everyone has the opportunity to speak to friends, eat some delicious food, and most importantly, I hope everyone has fun. Please tell me if you are not satisfied.”

Then the music started to play, and the guests began to dance.

Hazel was thirsty, so she went to the long table, picked up a drink, and calmly drank it. Joshua picked up a piece of cake and put it up to her mouth so that she could take a bite.

“Taste it,” he whispered. “Professor Watson knows some excellent chefs and invited them tonight.”

“Really?” Hazel smiled and leaned in to take a bite, but Joshua had already shoved it in her mouth.

Hazel’s face turned red as she wiped the icing off of her lips.

Vanessa was still watching their every move, she hated Hazel even more now. She could not understand why Joshua, who treated everybody unsympathetically, would listen to everything Hazel said. She finished the glass of wine she had in her hand as she walked toward Professor Watson and his wife.

“Hi, Professor and Mrs. Watson.” Vanessa said sweetly, “Congratulations on winning the award.”

“Thank you, Vanessa.” He replied politely.

Vanessa looked around and then said in a questioning tone, “Oh, why don’t I see Becky? I thought she loved banquets.”

“She was tired today and fell asleep,” Mrs. Watson explained.

Vanessa was stunned, if Becky was asleep, did she already give Hazel the medicine?

“Please excuse me,” Vanessa said quickly.

A man stopped in front of Vanessa and asked her to dance. She wanted to refuse, when she saw the man in front of her, she couldn’t help but swallow.

He appeared to be a very ordinary man, definitely not Joshua but Vanessa was still a bit stunned. She was still trying to find a way to say no, but she could not control her thoughts.

Hazel looked at the crowd of people dancing, Joshua thought he saw a bit of envy in her eyes. He leaned forward slightly and reached his hand out to Hazel. She was confused by his gesture, but she gave him her hand.

With a grin, Joshua sighed and asked, “My Royal Highness, may I have the pleasure of a dance?”

Hazel’s heartbeat accelerated, his words made her feel warm all over.

She blushed, then said awkwardly, “Joshua, I don’t know how to dance…”

“It’s okay, it’s very simple. Just follow my steps.” He held her hand and reached for her waist.

Hazel exclaimed, and her arms were on his shoulders. Joshua raised his eyebrows when he flinched in pain.

“I’m sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean it…” Hazel said in a hurry. It was only the first part of the dance, and she had already stepped on his foot.

“It doesn’t matter, Hazel, relax,” Joshua whispered in her ear. “This is just an ordinary party. No one will be paying any special attention to you. Don’t be nervous. You just think that there are only the two of us here.”

Hazel’s flustered heart gradually settled down. She followed his steps and gently rotated with the beat. Although her movements were still very stiff, Hazel smiled sweetly.

She thought it turns out that dancing with someone you love is such a wonderful thing.

“Hey! What are you doing?!” A man’s voice yelled, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

The music stopped, and so did the people that were dancing, everyone was looking to the center of the room.

Hazel looked over and was completely flabbergasted.
