Chapter 126: You Don’t Have A Chance
Hazel was curious. Isaac had always been sarcastic and rarely showed such obvious disgust for anyone. But she did not ask him, although she was curious.
Isaac took them to his grandfather’s room. Grandpa Anderson was sitting in his wheelchair. Despite his gray hair, he looked hale and hearty. There was smart light in his eyes.
“Grandpa.” Isaac came to him. “Joshua is here.”
“Ha ha ha, Joshua, I said you should be here at this point.” Grandpa Anderson smiled and nodded to Joshua, his face full of kindness. But as he glanced over Hazel next to him, he was caught off guard. “Who is she?”
“This is my future girlfriend!” Isaac said, half-jokingly, “Well, grandpa, is Hazel all right?”
Joshua cocked an eyebrow slightly, and Hazel was a little embarrassed.
Before they could clear up the misunderstanding, she suddenly felt a cold stare. The feeling came from the dark corner, like a snake stalking her, she felt her hair stand on end, making her very uncomfortable.
Hazel furrowed her eyebrows and cautiously looked up.
Next to Grandpa Anderson stood a man who resembled Isaac, he looked to be about the same age. However, the man was a bit fiercer and gloomier than Isaac.
Hazel didn’t usually judge a book by its cover, but she still felt like it was an especially dangerous atmosphere.
“Are you Isaac’s girlfriend?” The man squinted and looked at her like he was looking at a prey he had already got. “Are you free? Let’s go and have a drink.”
Hazel watched him suspiciously.
Suddenly, a warm hand fell on her waist, and the familiar feeling made her feel at ease instantly.
“I’m sorry, Sam. Hazel’s busy,” Joshua put his arm around Hazel’s waist and said quietly.
Sam seemed surprised, too. Joshua and Hazel were so intimate that he could tell they were a real couple.
Of course, he was not interested in Joshua’s woman, and even if he was, he didn’t want to offend Joshua in any way.
“Sam, stop hitting on Hazel!” Isaac said coldly. “Otherwise, even if Joshua lets you go, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
“Aren’t you also hitting on her?” Sam sneered.
“Well, Isaac’s just kidding.” Grandpa Anderson opened his mouth quietly and broke the tense atmosphere. “Am I right, Isaac?”
“Of course not.” Isaac’s face softened a lot when he talked to his grandfather. “Grandpa, don’t you think Hazel’s great? What if she breaks up with Joshua one day, and I chased her and made her your daughter-in-law?”
“You don’t have a chance,” Joshua said quietly.
“Mm, you don’t have a chance,” Hazel echoed his words.
She knew Isaac was joking, so she didn’t care much. She knew clearly that Isaac was kind while Sam actually considered her as his prey even though he had merely said a word.
“You brat, how dare you to play such a joke?!” Grandpa Anderson picked up the crutch at hand, pretending to hit Isaac, but he didn’t look furious.
Sam’s face was a little colder.
He always envied Isaac’s relationship with Joshua, but he couldn’t understand why Joshua would be friends with Isaac but was always distant from him.
He had shown his kindness to Joshua, but he couldn’t fit in his circle. He tried to provoke them, but Joshua was sensible enough not to be provoked at all.
The one he most despised in the Anderson family was Isaac, but because of Joshua, he dared not look down on him at all.
Joshua gave a gift to Isaac’s grandfather, who accepted it with pleasure.
After that, Grandpa Anderson had a brief chat with Hazel, Hazel politely responded.
“You’re indeed a good girl.” He laughed and praised, looking at Hazel with eyes full of love. “Joshua, you have a good eye. Looking at her, I sense something familiar about her; I like her.”
Joshua’s mouth tilted slightly as his eyes flickered, nobody knew what he was thinking.
“Thank you, Grandpa.” Hazel was a little shy.
“Well, it’s time for me, the birthday boy, to show up.” Grandpa Anderson laughed, and he got up from his wheelchair with the help of a crutch. “Come on, come down with me.”
Isaac and Sam quickly helped him. Hazel was taken back. It turned out Grandpa Anderson could walk.
Grandpa Anderson joked as if he had guessed what she was thinking, “Did you think I couldn’t walk, Hazel?”
“I...” Hazel suddenly became more embarrassed.
“Ha ha ha, I am old, my legs and feet are not as strong now. Sometimes I am too lazy to walk. I’m afraid I won’t live for long.” He didn’t care about it but couldn’t help sighing.
“Grandpa, you are in such good health that you will live past one hundred!” She said quickly.
“You’re really talkative.” He was a little happier.
“Grandpa, let’s go.” Sam urged. “The guests are waiting.”
Grandpa Anderson nodded. The three of them walked ahead of Hazel and Joshua, she glanced at Sam and couldn’t help frown.
After Sam knew she was Joshua’s girlfriend, her feeling of being stared at was completely gone.
She could feel that Sam was not aiming at her before, but acting that way to upset Isaac because he had misunderstood her relationship with Isaac. The relationships within the Anderson family seemed more complicated than she had imagined.
When they were at the bottom of the stairs, others were about to congratulate Grandpa Anderson when there was a commotion at the door.
Hazel looked at the door with others, and the next moment she furrowed her eyebrows.
It was none other than Vanessa, the last person she wanted to see.
Vanessa wore a pale blue lace dress. Her dress was translucent, and her body could be seen through it. But she didn’t mind in the least. This kind of attention made her very happy as she proudly walked through the crowd to Grandpa Anderson.
Hazel sighed helplessly. She couldn’t understand what Vanessa was thinking exactly.
This was the birthday party of Grandpa Anderson, who should be the center of attention at the party, but Vanessa completely stole the show. Why did she always like to act as she did?
Vanessa came to Grandpa Anderson and offered him a gift, she asked a servant to put it with the others.
After that, she looked defiantly in Hazel’s direction.
