Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“Sorry, I have no time,” she said and hurried to the corner.

Standing at the corner, she looked around. The figure she had seen before had vanished as if it was just her illusion.

Was she dazzled?

She frowned slightly.

Ted should be in Country M right now. Even if he had heard the news that they had left, it would not be easy for him to come to Country Z.

A familiar car stopped in front of her, and the driver got off. “What’s the matter, Mrs. Denmark?”

“Nothing.” Hazel shook her head. “Come on, let’s go home.”

The driver helped her open the door, and she got into the car, but she did not notice that there was a woman with wavy hair nearby who peeped at her with hatred.

Hazel returned to the Denmark Residence. Had she hardly entered the living room when she heard a hearty laugh.

After walking into the living room, she saw Stacy and Grandpa Sloane.

“Grandpa, mom,” Hazel said in a sweet voice.

“Hazel, you’re back. Come and sit down,” Grandpa Sloane waved at her and spoke.

Hazel sat down and saw them teasing Randy.

“How lovely my great-grandson is!” Grandpa Sloane laughed. He looked very vigorous. Suddenly, he looked up and said, “By the way, Hazel. I heard you signed up for a three-month course. I talked to Stacy, and we decided that she would stay in the Denmark Residence and help you look after Randy for the next three months.”

“Oh?” Hazel instantly felt a little upset and asked with concern, “Is, is this Okay? Mom, are you healthy enough? Won’t that make you tired?”

“Hazel, don’t worry, I’m fine now,” Stacy said with a slight smile. “Plus, Randy has so many servants around, I’ll just need to keep an eye on him. I won’t be tired.”

Hazel was a little hesitant. It was not that she felt uneasy about leaving Randy with Stacy. It was just that she was really worried that Stacy would be tired easily. However, Randy might be kind of emotional compensation for Stacy, who had suffered the loss of her sons for more than two decades. So maybe it would be great for her to spend more time with Randy.

Moreover… Hazel seemed to see Ted today. Whether it was a hallucination or not, it was better for Stacy to stay at theDenmark Residence.

Seeing Hazel thinking, Stacy looked a little wounded. “Hazel, are you worried that we’re going to have some kind of conflict as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Don’t worry, I’m very easy to get along with, and besides, I like you more than I like Joshua! If there’s any conflict between you, I’ll be on your side…”

Hazel was embarrassed. Why would she be worried that there would be some kind of conflict between Stacy and her, who was mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? And what did she mean by saying ‘I like you more than I like Joshua’? This sentence sounded a little strange to Hazel…

“Mom, I’d love to have you take care of Randy,” Hazel said with a smile, “but promise me you won’t wear yourself out.”

“All right, I won’t,” Stacy happily agreed.

The matter was settled. If Stacy moved into the Denmark Residence and took care of Randy, Hazel would be relieved.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

After lunch, Hazel went back to school.

To her surprise, Paul was still stubbornly sitting next to her seat.

She felt helpless. “Mr. Lopez, haven’t I made it clear enough?”

“You’ve made it clear,” said Paul confidently, “but I don’t believe your lies. Hazel, I’m very smart.”

“… What makes you think I’m telling a lie?” she asked, speechless.

“You said you are married and have a baby. How old is it?” He pushed his glasses up.

She hesitated, but she said truthfully in a bid to make him give up, “A month and a half.”

“Ho-ho,” Paul said firmly, “Hazel if your baby is a month and a half old, how can you possibly leave him as a kind mother? If it were true, you would have been around the baby all day long to take good care of it until the baby grows up. How can you be in the mood to continue studying so soon?”

Hazel was even more speechless. Who said a woman who had just given birth couldn’t continue studying?

She had wanted to take care of Randy, but her parents, mother-in-law, and even the servants were all around him, and when she tried to intervene, they would say she was making trouble and drove her away.

Joshua had heard from someone that breastfeeding was tiring, so he even cut off Randy’s breastfeeding and made him have milk powder! It took Hazel a long time to talk to him before he made concessions and mixed the breastmilk with the milk powder, but the amount of breast milk had to be small, and she could only feed Randy for six months at most.

This was his biggest concession. No matter how hard Hazel tried to sweet talk him, he wouldn’t change his mind. Furthermore, Joshua’s resolute attitude finally won their elders’ approval.

As a result, she rarely had to breastfeed Randy. In this case, what else could she do at home except for study?

“Ahem,” Hazel said awkwardly, “Paul, not all the families are the same. You need your future wife to be a stay-at-home mom for the kids, but that doesn’t mean all families need a stay-at-home mom. My family is relatively well-off, and there are many people taking care of my baby, so it doesn’t need me all the time.”

“Ho-ho,” said Paul, looking incredulous, “Hazel, why are you telling a lie you don’t believe in yourself? I think you’re great, so you don’t have to push me away. Give yourself a chance, and you will find that I am the best choice in your life.”

She was so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes at him. Was the man crazy? Why did he say ‘give yourself a chance’ and ‘I am the best choice in your life?

He was a shy boy this morning, but why did he change now? Did he become angry from embarrassment because she rejected him?

Hazel really didn’t want to talk to this man anymore. She picked up her books and sat directly in the front row.

Since that was the only seat left, Paul couldn’t follow her. Because of this, he looked even more unhappy.

Perhaps her behavior had hurt him, so he did not pester her all afternoon. She breathed a sigh of relief. When school was over, she saw Joshua’s car in the distance.

She trotted down the steps and happily opened the car door. The moment she saw Joshua, her daylong daze seemed to disappear.

“Honey!” she happily shouted, put her arms around his neck, and kissed his cheek.
