Chapter 119: Silly Girl, You Trust Me Too Much
“Well, I trust you. “Hazel nodded, feeling drowsy again.
Although she still had a little uncertainty, she did not continue to ask.
Joshua’s eyes were full of pity. He gently put his arm around her and pulled her to his chest. “You can have a short nap. I’ll wake you up when we reach our destination.”
“Okay.” She obediently closed her eyes.
The car moved smoothly, and she soon fell asleep.
Looking at her sweet sleeping face, he could not help laughing bitterly. “Silly girl, you trust me too much.”
When the car stopped, Hazel was still asleep. Listening to her steady breathing, Joshua was reluctant to wake her up, so he decided to carry her.
Hazel had a dream. She dreamt of Joshua again, but this time, he did not let her go, and they had sex. She had the same dream last night, but it felt so real, she felt that her whole body was getting hotter.
She woke up suddenly and found it wasn’t a dream.
There was a mist before her eyes, and a faint smell of sulfur touched the tip of her nose, but it did not smell bad.
She was bathing in a hot spring, it is no wonder she was hot. She was very comfortable, and her previous exhaustion disappeared.
She was a little embarrassed.
It turned out that Joshua said taking off their clothes to enjoy bathing in a hot spring.
“Are you awake?”
Joshua’s voice sounded in her ear, and she quickly turned back to look into his deep eyes.
Joshua was actually by her side in the hot spring.
She looked down at herself. “… Did you help me undress?”
“Then whom do you get to undress you?” He chuckled.
She was a little sad, she would have been shy and angry when Joshua teased her like this before. But now, she didn’t know if it was because they didn’t really make love that she couldn’t get angry, even if she heard this kind of language.
She had become thick-skinned, she was a little grievous and annoyed because he had misled her.
Joshua watched her expressions change as if she had a ton of thoughts going through her head. He was sure that it was definitely about him even though he didn’t know exactly what she was thinking.
“Drink some water.” He handed her a water glass. She took the glass and sipped the water.
Suddenly, there was a phone ringing. It was her phone.
She looked in the direction of the sound, their phones had been put in a sealed bag next to Joshua’s hand.
“Cell phone!” she yelled.
Joshua took her cell phone, but his eyebrows were scowling slightly when he saw the number on it.
“Let me answer it,” he said in a deep voice.
Hazel was worried, but before she could say anything, she heard him say, “This is Vanessa’s number.”
“... All right,” she immediately agreed. Why was Vanessa calling her? It must not be good.
Joshua answered the phone as he put a plate of fresh fruit next to Hazel.
She looked at the fresh, tender strawberries and put one to her mouth, but her mind was on Joshua.
It was bizarre that Vanessa would call her, Joshua scrambled to answer the phone. She was curious. What would Joshua say to her?
“What is it?” Joshua asked in a deep voice.
There was a silence on the other end.
Vanessa didn’t expect that it would be Joshua who answered the phone.
She had called Joshua, who didn’t answer the phone, but he answered when she called Hazel’s phone.
Was Joshua trying to piss her off on purpose? Vanessa clenched her hands in anger, then she took a deep breath and put a smile on her face so she could hold back her anger.
“Joshua,” she sobbed softly, “my father told me all about it yesterday. I have loved you for so many years. Why did you misunderstand?”
Joshua raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding.”
Hearing the cry faintly, Hazel felt a little uncomfortable.
She knew that Vanessa was crying on purpose, but if she did, it was a sign showing how close they had been. After all, Joshua and Vanessa were sorts of childhood sweethearts.
With a touch of jealousy in her heart, Hazel suddenly remembered that Joshua had deliberately teased her while she was on the phone.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. She could get her revenge, she moved closer to Joshua and mischievously began to make circles on his hard chest.
Joshua looked helplessly at Hazel. “Stop that now.”
Vanessa, crying, was taken back. Did Joshua just ask her to stop crying in such a loving voice?
In an instant, her heart was filled with joy. Maybe it was possible that Joshua did have feelings for her, she thought.
“Joshua, I didn’t,” Vanessa said as if she was a spoiled kid. “Do you remember? We used to...”
“I forget,” he interrupted her coldly, his voice full of impatience.
Vanessa choked back what she wanted to say next.
She was bewildered. What happened to Joshua? He was so warm at first but so cold the next moment. Why did his attitude change so greatly?
Noticing Joshua didn’t seem to be affected at all and was even calm enough to talk to Vanessa, Hazel suddenly felt that she hadn’t done enough.
With a smile, she suddenly put her little hands downward.
As if a faint electric current had struck him, Joshua groaned with an intolerable response. His eyes became dark, and he stretched out his hand suddenly and attacked Hazel as well.
“Ah!” Hazel caught off guard and screamed despite herself.
“Who is that?” Vanessa was bewildered instantaneously. Was there someone with Joshua? Was it a woman?!
She couldn’t help but the question in a harsh voice. “Who’s with you?!”
“Do you forget who you are calling?” Joshua’s voice grew more impatient. “Come on, what are you calling for?”
A wicked smile curved Joshua’s lips when Hazel tried to run away. He continued to chase Hazel, holding out his hand to tickle her.
Hazel laughed and dodged. “Don’t, don’t do that…”
Vanessa was furious at the voice on the other end of the phone.
How could she forget that it was Hazel’s phone? They must be together, she had thought too much about him being nice, he wasn’t talking to her, he was talking to Hazel.
“What are you doing?!” Listening to the laughter, Vanessa bellowed, almost breaking down.
“Can’t you hear?” Joshua said coldly, “Of course, we’re making… love.”
On the other end of the line, Vanessa screamed wildly and a loud thud. The phone was hung up, Joshua guessed, of course, that Vanessa had thrown her phone in anger.
It was not what he cared about now. He only cared about only one thing.
