Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Chapter 20: Are You Serious?



Their engagement may be a joke. Besides, it can’t be counted since it was so many years ago.

But Joshua still felt uncomfortable.

Isaac was stunned. “Joshua, are you serious?”

“Yes,” He whispered.

“Good!” Isaac’s mouth tilted upwards evilly at the corners. “I can stop provoking her, but you must do me a favor.”

“No way.” Joshua refused without hesitation.

“I haven’t said anything yet!” Isaac was speechless.

He didn’t, but Joshua knew what he was going to say.

“Don’t worry, it isn’t hard.” Isaac tapped the steering wheel impatiently.

“You saw that woman yesterday, too. She is the woman that my grandfather promised I would marry. I’m young, and I don’t want to sacrifice myself for my family. If you help me break off this engagement, I promise I will never be around Hazel Crowe again.”

Joshua frowned slightly.

He didn’t want to help him.

If he helped Isaac break off his engagement, he would be single.

At least for now, Isaac is still committed to keeping him under control. This would stop Hazel, who was innocent, from even considering him.

“I know a little about your fiancée, and she’s very nice. You can try to get along with…” Joshua persuaded him.

“Joshua,” Isaac interrupted impatiently, “did my grandfather come to you and ask you to persuade me?”

“Grandfather Wilson and I only had lunch,” Joshua said coolly.

“Well, in that case,” Isaac tapped on the steering wheel irritably. “I’ll still keep chasing Hazel. I happen to like this girl. Such a lovely girl would be sure to please our old man in the future.”

“She won’t like you,” Joshua said firmly.

“Let’s find out.” Isaac hung up.

His eyes became deeper as he looked at the telephone.

“The car is ready, President,” Jaxson said.

“Mm.” Joshua’s face softened. A small smile came to his face as he thought of Hazel.

“President, don’t you really need a driver to follow?” Jaxson asked in amazement.

“No, I’ll take care of it. It is something personal,” Joshua said in a low voice.

Of course, he must pick her up himself.

“Isaac actually already has a fiancée,” Ariel said with great regret. “Why do all the excellent men have lovers?”

“But why did he chase you now if he has a fiancée?” Summer looked curiously at Hazel.

“Was he chasing me? Clearly, he’s here to embarrass me!” Hazel clenched her teeth angrily.

“It must be because the wine he ordered yesterday was finally charged to his account. He must have thought I had tricked him, so he hated me and came to make a fool of me on purpose!”

Ariel put her hand on her forehead, helpless. “You’re really…delusional! Why would he care about a few bottles of wine since he’s rich?”

“I don’t care. We’re not on the same level.” Hazel waved her hand. “No matter what he thinks, I won’t have anything to do with him in the future.”

Summer nodded. “It would be best for you to keep away from the kind of men who already have lovers.”

She looked at the time and said, “Let’s go. Mr. Denmark is still waiting for us.”

Though she was reluctant, Hazel was dragged downstairs by the two girls.

Joshua’s car was parked at an inconspicuous corner. He was dressed in a black suit and standing under the shade of a tree, smiling as the three girls walked towards him.

Hazel wasn’t wearing the little black dress Summer had picked for her.

She decided to wear a light pink floral dress, which made her look even more beautiful and serene. The frill on the hem blew in the wind, adding a touch of angel likeness to her already innocent appearance.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Summer and Ariel pinched each other’s arms hard and whispered excitedly, “My goodness, how could our Prince be so handsome! He’s mature and steady. He looks so gentle and reliable! Oh, I’m overwhelmed by his charm!”

These two are completely boy crazy! Hazel really wanted to get away from them.

“Ah? Why do I think the Prince looks so familiar?” Ariel was startled for a bit despite herself.

“Since you say so, I also feel as if I have seen him somewhere,” Summer said, echoing her words.

“You two are terrible! Is there a handsome guy that would be unfamiliar to you?” Hazel was feeling a little nervous for some reason.

If they remembered meeting Joshua in the bar that day, they would definitely keep asking her what had exactly happened.

“You’re right!” The two girls nodded and continued to stare at Joshua, star-struck.

As they got close to Joshua, Ariel and Summer were so thrilled that they spoke incoherently, “Prince Charming! We have been waiting so long to meet you in person!”

Hazel couldn’t help but put her hands over her face. It was… too embarrassing! She was dying to pretend she didn’t know them.

Joshua smiled politely and gently. “Are you Hazel’s friends?”

“Mmm!” They nodded quickly and eagerly pushed Hazel in his direction.

Hazel, who was completely caught off guard, staggered. Joshua reached out his arms in time and put his hands around her tiny waist.

“Are you okay?” he asked in a deep voice.

She could feel the heat from the palms of his hands, and she felt her heart beating so hard that she hurried to push him away.

Joshua just smiled and didn’t care much about her resistance.

“Thank you for inviting us to dinner, Mr. Denmark!” Summer said a whole sentence, at last, the affection flowing from her eyes.

“It’s what I should do,” Joshua said quietly. “Thank you for taking care of Hazel.”

“Huh?” Hazel looked at him, puzzled.

Not to mention that it was her who had been taking care of these two boy crazy nerds every day, what did ‘It’s what I should do’ mean?

Joshua spoke as if… he was her boyfriend or something!

“Get in,” Joshua said quietly.

“Wait…” Hazel was still thinking about what he had said, but Ariel and Summer had opened the door and got in the back seat.

Seeing everyone ignoring what she had said, Hazel unhappily got in as well.

But before she could get in, Summer pushed her out. “Why are you going to sit here with us in such a big car? Sit in the front.”

Hazel was even more miserable, and Joshua had helped her open the door.

She sat helplessly in the passenger seat.

Joshua closed the door for her. As he got in the car, he leaned toward Hazel suddenly.

Ariel and Summer gasped.

“What, what are you doing?” Hazel felt her entire body freeze.

Before her eyes were Joshua’s handsome face, he was so close she could clearly see every eyelash. The tip of her nose smelt his unique, light scent of cologne, which somehow made her heart beat faster.

Her roommates were still there. What did he want to do?
