Chapter 674: Why Are You So Late?
He was amused and felt her hair.
The meeting was a little urgent, so he quickly left and drove to the Denmark Group.
After playing with and for a while, she opened the computer.
In the past year, she worked hard to keep the Denmark Group on her own because Joshua suddenly disappeared. Now it was time for her to let it go and get ready to go the way she had planned.
Hazel had waited for Joshua to join her for dinner for nearly half an hour in the evening, but she failed to see his figure.
“Mrs. Denmark, you can eat first. You can’t go hungry,” advised Nanny Carter.
Hazel smiled. “Nanny Carter, I’ll wait.”
She took out her phone. She, who didn’t want to disturb Joshua’s meeting, called a secretary at the Denmark Group.
Soon, the other side answered the phone.
Hearing Hazel asks about the meeting, the secretary replied with a puzzle, “The meeting was over at five o’clock in the afternoon, and Mr. President left early!”
Hazel grabbed her phone in shock.
Joshua left the Denmark Group early, but he did not return to the Denmark Residence. So then, where did he go? What had happened to him?
After hanging up, Hazel stood nervously at the table, ready to call Joshua directly.
But before she could dial the number, she saw Joshua come striding in.
“Waiting for me?” He smiled. “Next time, you don’t have to wait for me and can just have dinner first.”
“Mm…” She sat down again, frowned, and said, “I’ve called one of your secretaries. But, unfortunately, the Denmark Group meeting ended at five. Why are you so late?”
“There’s something else I need to deal with,” There was a twinkle of evasion in his eyes as he replied.
There was an almost imperceptible frown on her face.
He had never kept a secret from her. Whatever she asked, he would answer her.
But now, he did not say what it was.
Since he didn’t, it was apparently because he didn’t think he needed to tell her.
“Oh,” she nodded and said, “By the way, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“What is it?” He asked.
“I signed up for a postgraduate tutorial class today,” she said.
He was surprised. “Are you planning to become a postgraduate?”
“Yes.” She nodded. “Actually, I have thought of continuing to study after graduation before, but you suddenly disappeared, and then I suddenly got pregnant… The Denmark Group couldn’t run without me, and the baby would need me in the future, so of course, I couldn’t continue studying at this time…
“Besides, in fact, I once gave up the idea of taking part in the postgraduate entrance exams because I wanted to stand with you at work equally. But now it is different. I can see the same scenery with you at any time, and I think it is more interesting to study.
“Moreover, the Denmark Group has you, and there are many people taking care of the baby. Most crucially, he can only eat, cry and sleep now, so I don’t have to stay with him every day. I can take advantage of the chance to study hard!”
He listened carefully and didn’t ignore Hazel’s nervous expression.
Apparently, Hazel was a little afraid he would object, so she told him all her ideas at one go to demonstrate her determination.
He smiled lightly. “Darling, no matter what decision you make, I support you.”
“Are you really not angry?” She looked at him anxiously. “I didn’t discuss it with you before I signed up.”
“No,” he said with a slight smile.”My wife has always been so independent, and I like you because of that.”
She happily kissed him on the cheek. “Thanks, honey!”
“When does the tutorial begin?” he asked.
“In a week,” she answered.
He said, “I’ll take you there.”
“Good!” she happily agreed.
Afterward, Hazel spent a week in accompanyingRandy and preparing for the upcoming postgraduate entrance exams.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Harry, Rachel, and Stacy knew about her decision and supported her. As for Randy, he would be taken care of by his three grandparents.
The three of them liked Randy very much, and when they were around, Hazel even found she was the fifth wheel.
“By the way, Hazel,” Stacy said, frowning. “Why have I seldom seen Joshua over these days? Why is he so busy?”
“There are things in the company that he needs to handle,” Hazel froze and then replied.
After they came back to Country Z, didn’t it seemJoshuawastoobusyworking for the Denmark Group? She thought it suspicious that Joshua went out in the morning and returned home in the evening every day.
“Is it that?” Stacy frowned and continued, “He’s too busy. He needs to spend more time staying with you and Randy. By the way, I like Joshua very much, but you must pay more attention and keep an eye on him.”
Hazel had a headache. “Huh? I don’t think I need to do that. I really trust Joshua.”
Stacy’s eyes twinkled. “Trust is one thing while getting along is another.”
Hazel didn’t dare to retort anymore.
In the evening, Joshua returned late again. Hazel didn’t ask him anything. However, she caught a whiff of ladies’ perfume as she passed Joshua.
She felt a little panicky somehow.
Is… Joshua cheating?!
At the thought of it, Hazel felt like she had been struck by lightning!
It shouldn’t be possible! Joshua didn’t cheat when she was pregnant, and he behaved himself for a month after she gave birth, but when he was back in Country Z, he looked too sly and furtive.
In the end, Hazel decided to test him in some way.
Late at night, she took a shower in the bathroom and put on a sexy nightgown. The hollowed, half-naked nightgown made her look more attractive.
“Honey…” Hazel whispered his name with a shy expression.
Joshua was busy. Hearing her voice, he looked back at her, and then his eyes flashed with a hint of sexual desire.
The next moment, he hugged her and passionately kissed her for a long time.
She kissed back with equal passion, and the weight of her heart finally dropped. Joshua still had feelings for her. It looked like she had thought too much.
But she didn’t expect… At the last step, Joshua suddenly stopped.
“Well… Honey?” She looked at him with misty eyes.
“My darling,” said Joshua, kissing her on the forehead, “You have just given birth. It would be best if you took care of yourself first. We’ll do that later.”
“?!!!” Joshua actually didn’t want to make love with her! Hazel had an unprecedented crisis awareness at the bottom of her heart!
He went out in the morning and came home late over these days. Plus, there was a strange smell of perfume on him, and his behavior tonight was strange, which aroused her suspicions.
