Chapter 160: Breaking Up Is No Big Deal
"What happened?" The three looked at her in amazement.
They were not blind and could clearly see that she cared so much about Joshua. She was angry with them over Joshua but to take the initiative to break up with him? They were confused.
"Nothing," Hazel said. "I thought of what Ronald said, it was quite true. Rich families are not so easy to enter, so I broke up with him."
Harry and Rachel looked at Hazel surprisingly. They were curious and stunned. What had Ronald been said to actually persuade Hazel into breaking up with Joshua?
Ronald still felt that something wasn’t right. Although he talked with Hazel, he did not think his arguments were strong enough to persuade her to leave Joshua.
He knew Hazel very well, and their talk would have made her sad, but with her loving Joshua so profoundly, she would bargain before giving up.
Was it that Joshua refused her? That was not very likely. He knew Joshua loved her.
Ronald felt even worse knowing that Hazel was not telling the complete truth. Something must have happened that would make her change her mind so quickly.
"Breaking up is no big deal," Rachel sighed and held arms around Hazel. "You proposed to break up, and he agreed. He was bad. He didn’t have any taste and didn’t deserve my good daughter…”
"Mom, he is not bad. He is excellent. I didn’t deserve to be his girlfriend." Hazel said stubbornly.
"Okay, let's eat, don't talk like that." Harry hurriedly changed the topic. How can he not see that Hazel was still hurting?
Rachel led Hazel to a chair. Ronald thoughtfully put a bowl of porridge in front of her.
Hazel didn’t even look at it. She looked at Harry. "Dad, when are we going home?"
Harry stopped and looked at her curiously.
Usually, he would take Hazel and leave this sad place immediately, but he had to find Hazel’s biological parents before leaving.
"Hazel, we have some important things to do in the next few days. I have to stay in the city for the time being. You can hang out here with your brother during that time, is that okay?" Harry asked.
Hazel looked down, and she knew why they were staying.
She also guessed that person who gave them a reason to stay was Joshua. Perhaps, in the beginning, Joshua wanted them to find the Denmark family and find out her identity step by step.
However, she had already told Joshua that she only wanted to be Hazel,
Joshua understood what she meant.
Naturally, he wouldn’t let them find anything, just stay for a few days, and when they become desperate, they will give up and go home.
"Good." She nodded and promised.
Harry and Rachel sighed. Rachel touched her head with pity, "Hazel, don’t worry, we will take you home soon."
"Yeah." Hazel nodded and smiled at them.
They felt even sadder when she was trying to pretend that it was okay. How did she expect them not to see that she was afraid they were worried, so she kept smiling?
After eating breakfast, Harry and Rachel went out, and according to their instructions, Ronald took Hazel shopping.
Hazel looked lost as she walked around the mall.
"Hazel," Ronald came to her side, "Help me pick out some clothes."
"Ah?" Hazel looked at him blankly.
“I haven’t bought new clothes since I got home,” Ronald said. “Your taste has always been good, help me pick out a few things, and I will buy you a few things for you.”
"You don't need to buy any for me, I have a lot of clothes..." Hazel said without thinking. Before she finished her sentence, she suddenly stopped.
Recently, she got a lot of clothes because Joshua found all kinds of reasons to buy them. If a famous designer lacked a model, Joshua would suggest Hazel, they would be designed for her to see and try on. After she had worn it, the designer gave it to her.
Joshua had a bunch of little tricks, and he knew that if he gave her clothes himself that she would not accept them. It turned out that Joshua had always been so accommodating to her.
Hazel's eyes hid a layer of misty fog.
Ronald was going crazy thinking of how sad Hazel was. He could see that she was thinking of Joshua, so he grabbed her wrist and said, “Pick me something. Look at these, which one is right for me.”
Outside the mall, a car parked at the end of the parking lot. Joshua sat in the car, looking at Hazel.
Jaxson was afraid to make a sound, but he wondered what happened between Joshua and Hazel.
Joshua asked him to follow Hazel behind, but he did not seem to want to say hello. What was he doing?
Their relationship did not need any more games and complications.
"Mr. President, don't you need to go to find Miss Crowe?" Jaxson couldn't help but ask.
"No, go back to the company." Joshua lowered his eyes, and he just wanted to see her and make sure she was okay.
It seemed that Ronald was accompanying her, and the fact of their breakup seemed to have little effect on her. That was good, at least he didn't have to worry about her.
Jaxson was confused, but Joshua did not say anything more, so he had no choice but to start the car.
Suddenly, Hazel stopped and looked at the door blankly.
"Hazel, what happened?" Ronald asked.
"Nothing." Hazel shook her head, and she felt a wave of sadness for no reason.
"Do you think this one is suitable for me?" Ronald picked up a dress and put it against his chest.
"It's perfect." Hazel nodded absentmindedly. She was not paying attention that Ronald asked her about a dress, not a suit.
Ronald did pick out a few items, and Hazel said everything matched well.
Suddenly, Hazel’s eyes lit up as her eyes fell on a set of royal blue suits.
The suit was very stylish, lovely, but very suitable for... Joshua.
Hazel’s eyes were bleak, and she remembered Joshua, why? She actually felt that there was a shadow of Joshua everywhere.
"Do you like this suit?" Ronald looked at her eyes. He could not help but frown. "This was not for me."
Indeed, Ronald was the bright type, while Joshua was a calm and elegant
type. This suit has nothing to do with Ronald’s style.
Ronald seemed to think of something, and he asked in a deep voice, "Hazel, what is going on with you and Joshua?"
Hazel looked at him blankly. "I have not said it clearly enough?"
"Hazel, I am your brother, even if you lie to our parents, you can't lie to me." Ronald's facial expression showed he was upset. "If you really want to break up with Joshua because of emotional issues, you would be completely done and would not let him see you again. But what about you now?"
