Chasing The Fierce Heiress

She clutched her chopsticks, exhaled irritably, and ate her food in silence.

He was helpless. Hazel’s disgust towards him was more dreadful than he had imagined.

But it didn’t matter. He could take his time.

After dinner, Hazel reluctantly got into Joshua’s car.

“If you don’t want to go, I can take you back to school. Shall we visit him some other day?” Joshua proposed.

He thought it might be a good idea, that way, he would have another reason to ask her out again.

“No…” she gritted her teeth and said as if she were to die a martyr’s death. “I did something wrong, and I’ll have to face it sooner or later. Let’s go today!”

When they arrived at the hospital, Hazel bought a fruit basket from the gift shop.

Upon reaching Jaxson’s room, she put the fruit basket on the table and apologized, nervously and tensely. “Mr. Hunk, I’m really sorry for what happened the other day…”

Jaxson was speechless.

His injuries were minor, but Joshua insisted that he be hospitalized. He didn’t understand. It turns out that Joshua was trying to find out who had beaten him up and get her to apologize to him?

The president was really kind to his employees. Jaxson was deeply touched.

He didn’t forget that this woman had intended to beat up their president. He must help the president vent his anger!

“I remember it wasn’t you who have beaten me,” Jaxson said coldly. “Why are you apologizing?”

“I was involved in beating you, Mr. Hunk. I was the mastermind behind it all,” Hazel said awkwardly. “In fact, my target was not you that day. It was all a misunderstanding…”

“Misunderstanding?” Jaxson kept a poker face. “If it was a misunderstanding, were you right to hit someone? You are young, but why are you trying to solve problems with your fists? You’re so deceitful to apologize, I don’t…”

“Cough, cough.” Joshua coughed a little and looked at Jaxson sternly.

Jaxson was a little confused. Why did Joshua seem unhappy as he helped him reprimand Hazel Crowe?

“I don’t, I don’t…” Jaxson stuttered for a long time before he finally hesitantly said, “I don’t mind?”

Joshua’s face softened a little. He nodded to Jaxson. “Hazel, Jaxson isn’t mean. Look, he accepted your apology. Right? Jaxson?”

“Yes, yes!” Jaxson replied quickly.

Hazel was still a little apologetic, and she continued asking, “Mr. Hunk, I understand how angry you are. After all, you were beaten up for no reason. Shall I come and visit you each day until you are discharged?”

Jaxson was shocked. He had felt his body stiffen with the cold glare from Joshua’s eyes! How dare he let Hazel come to visit him every day? Wasn’t he a tempting fate?

“No, no,” he said quickly. “I suffered minor injuries. I’ll be out of the hospital tomorrow. Don’t come!”

Hazel was startled for a bit. “Mr. Hunk, are you still angry…”

“He isn’t angry,” Joshua said. “He just wants to have a rest. Hazel, wait outside the door for me. I have to talk to him about work.”

“Yes, yes, I’m not angry, really!” Jaxson echoed his words.

Hazel nodded. “Then I will leave.”

After she walked out of the room, Jaxson asked with a little curiosity. “President, this is…”

“The future wife of the president,” Joshua said softly.

Jaxson coughed and choked.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Oh, gosh! Did he hear that right?

Was it the future wife of the president who had just apologized to him?

Fortunately, he didn’t insist that she apologize, or he would have been the one tempting fate.

But… why did Joshua suddenly like this girl? He never joked. If he said it was his future wife, it must be.

Hold on, Hazel… was that Hazel Crowe the president had asked him to look for?

Jaxson suddenly understood. It looked like Joshua really liked Hazel.

“By the way, don’t eat the fruit,” Joshua said. “I’ll have it taken away later.”

“…” Jaxson almost burst into tears, thinking that Joshua believed he was romantically looking at her.

He had thought Joshua was paying attention to him when he insisted that he be hospitalized. Who knew that Joshua only wanted to chase a girl? Besides, he was so obsessed with her that he wasn’t even willing to leave him the fruit basket!

Hazel walked out of the hospital and flagged down a passing taxi.

Just as Hazel was about to get into the car, a hand reached out and closed the door.

Bewildered, she looked back and saw Joshua’s deep eyes.

Waving the taxi away, he said in a deep voice, “Didn’t I say I’d take you back?”

“But I didn’t say yes.” She took a few steps back, uncomfortably.

His eyes became very serious. The next moment, he stretched and pulled her into his arms. “Be careful!”

When a car sped past her, she could not help feeling a twinge of fear.

Leaning against Joshua’s chest, she smelt the faint scent of his cologne on the tip of her nose, a characteristic masculine scent.

She pushed him away.

He caught her by the wrist. “Why aren’t you more cautious near the road? How can I allow you to go back alone? Get in the car.”

“I…” She tried to defend herself, but he had urged her into the car.

Sitting in the car, Hazel was feeling disheartened.

“Hazel,” Joshua said, his eyes flashing as he held the steering wheel. “Do you hate me that much?”

“Yes!” She nodded seriously.

“Why?”

She felt very uncomfortable and angry that he even had the nerve to ask her that.

“You hurt my friend!”

“Didn’t I say it was a misunderstanding?” He smiled a little, “But you clearly hurt me after I had saved someone.”

She was a little embarrassed. Come to think of it, the truth was indeed what he said.

“But you, you kissed me!” She lowered her head, and her voice trailed off. It was her first kiss.

“What did you want me to do? Spank you?” He smiled.

She was both ashamed and angry. How could this man enjoy teasing her so much? He was really overly repulsive!

“Well, even if it was a misunderstanding, what about yesterday?” She clenched her teeth.
