Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 839 - 127: Do You Have Special Feelings For Him?

Hazel was feeling very helpless.

Vanessa grew up with Isaac and the others, it was completely normal for her to be present at Grandpa Anderson's birthday party. However, Hazel still thought Vanessa was very disturbed.

She would feel uncomfortable every time she saw Vanessa, as if Vanessa was deliberately targeting her.

At the beginning of the banquet, people began to wish Grandpa Anderson a happy birthday. Sam accompanied him and handled it with ease.

Joshua brought two drinks and handed them to Hazel.

"Isn't... Isn't it wine?" Hazel asked anxiously.

She had made several jokes in front of Joshua, and now she would be scared almost every time she saw wine.

"Don't worry, it's grape juice. I asked Isaac to prepare it." Joshua chuckled.

Hazel was relieved. She took a sip of the sweet, sour grape juice.

"Joshua, who is he?" Looking in Sam's direction, Hazel asked in a low voice, frowning.

"Sam is Isaac's cousin." Joshua whispered, "Grandpa Anderson had an elder brother who betrayed the family for a woman, so the Anderson family passed on the family business to Grandpa Anderson. Later, his brother and his wife were killed in a car accident, leaving only a child who was ten. Grandpa Anderson was kind and took his nephew into his home and resided with him. Sam is actually the grandnephew of Grandpa Anderson. But the father and son are so ambitious that they think the Anderson family should belong to them, so they have been making trouble. Worse still, all of Isaac's uncles have ulterior motives, and Grandpa Anderson can only barely restrain them."

Hazel was dumbstruck.

Isaac usually looked cynical and heartless, but to her surprise, Isaac had been growing up in this kind of environment.

"But I think Isaac doesn't seem to want to compete." Hazel mused.

At the birthday party of his grandfather, all the grandchildren surrounded Grandpa Anderson, trying their best to push themselves forward, especially Sam, who had been around him all the time.

As for Isaac, he had already gone to talk with some pretty women who came to the party.

"Well." Joshua nodded. "Isaac had seen so many plots and intrigues, beginning when he was a child that he has been very resistant to them and always wants to stay away from home. But his grandfather loves him the most and worries about him the most."

"That's right. After his grandfather dies, Isaac won't fight for it, but others don't think so. His life will be hard without his grandfather's protection." Hazel sighed.

Joshua was a little surprised. He had simply told Hazel about the situation of the Anderson family, but she was so perceptive.

Sure enough, she was right. Hazel was indeed brilliant. Most of the time, she just didn't care, but as long as she was willing to think, she could always grasp the root of the matters keenly.

"Besides..." Hazel hesitated.

"Huh?"

"Isn't it good for us to whisper about someone's secret?" Hazel whispered with a little embarrassment.

Joshua said quietly, "I'd rather tell you than you ask Isaac."

Hazel didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Why was Joshua jealous again?

"You seem to care about Isaac especially?" She looked at him playfully.

Suddenly, it seemed that she remembered something, and then she asked in shock, "Do you... have some special feelings for him?!"

Joshua was so angry with her that he almost laughed. What was the girl thinking?

"Hazel," he said with deep eyes as he approached her, "it seems like I need to prove my sexual orientation to you."

She understood the hint in it, so she quickly shook her hands. "Don't bother, don't bother. I'm sure your relationship is pure."

"Huh?" His face darkened. This girl! The more she said, the more absurd it seemed to be.

"I'm wrong." She admitted her mistake very sensibly. "I believe you, really!"

"It's too late to admit it now!" He came closer to Hazel, and the flaming desire in his eyes got a little more intense.

He leaned over and whispered in her ears, "Hazel, I'll show you tonight!"

Her heart missed a beat, and she was shy and remorseful despite herself. Why did she play with fire again?

"Master Denmark." A waiter came to them. "Our master asked you to come over."

Grandpa Anderson was looking for him? Joshua cocked an eyebrow. "What's the matter?"

"I don't know," The servant said.

Joshua took Hazel by the hand, but the servant said in a dilemma, "Mr. Denmark, our master only invited you."

Joshua furrowed his eyebrows.

"You may go." Knowing that Joshua was worried about her, Hazel smiled. "He must have something too private to talk about, and it would not be convenient for me to be around. I'll wait here until you come back."

Joshua was still a little reluctant.

"Rest assured." Hazel continued, "I'm not a kid, and it's the Anderson family's residence here. Why are you worried now that they're so many people at the party?"

"I'm more worried because you're not a kid." Joshua couldn't resist but laughed. "Ok then, don't run about. I'll come back to you after we are done talking."

"Mmm." She nodded.

Joshua followed the servant upstairs while Hazel waited for him very obediently. Noticing that Joshua left, several women not far away from Hazel discussed for a bit and then walked over to her.

"What's your name, Miss?" the woman taking the lead.

Hazel was a little startled. Why did they come to talk to her?

"... My last name is Denmark," she replied cautiously because she felt that these women must have a certain reason to be asking.

"Denmark?" A few women's eyes lit up, and they asked quickly, "Are you the cousin of Mr. Denmark? Oh, nice to meet you…"

Then they jabbered their names.

It turned out that they came for Joshua. Hazel felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, she had been careful and did not tell them her real last name. Otherwise, if any sharp-eyed woman found out that Hazel was the one who had an affair with Joshua, they might tear her up.

Hazel didn't remember any of their names, but she knew they were all Isaac's cousins. Many of the ladies in the large families would have a commercial marriage, and Joshua was undoubtedly the best choice, so surely, they would try their best to soften her up.

"Miss Denmark, do you know what Mr. Denmark likes best?"

"What does he like for a gift?"

"What's his hobby?"

***

Hazel had quite a headache as she was chased by a group of women asking questions about Joshua. How could she know all the answers? She did not know his preferences, like the back of her hand.
