Chapter 99: Did She Just Make A Bad Impression?
Hazel wanted to dig a hole and hide! She wasn’t paying attention to what she had taken out of the fridge. She stood with her head down, completely embarrassed, when suddenly she heard a bang, she had squeezed the eggs, and they broke all over her hands.
"You are... warning me?" Joshua was speechless.
Hazel threw the eggs into the trash can. She said slyly, "No..."
She was too frustrated at the moment and lost control of her strength.
Joshua caught her hands and placed them under the faucet, he turned on the water and helped her clean the egg off of her hands.
"Okay," Joshua said, gently kissing her forehead, "If you really want to help, just wait."
Hazel was full of frustration. Did she just make a bad impression? She wanted to go back to the living room, but she was embarrassed, so she decided to stand at the door of the kitchen.
She watched in amazement as Joshua handled the ingredients, he could actually cook. And... he looked really handsome while cooking. Hazel twitched her lips unconsciously, with a beautiful light flickering in her eyes.
Before she knew it, Joshua had made three dishes; smoked salmon salad, pan-fried shrimp, and New Orleans roast chicken, as well as a Frankfurt sausage potato soup. The variety was unbelievable.
Hazel took the dish to the coffee table in the living room, and Joshua helped bring the forks. The two sat down on the couch, and Hazel turned the TV on.
Hazel picked up the shrimp and put it in her mouth, she looked at Joshua unexpectedly and praised, "It's delicious! Have you studied cooking?"
“No,” Joshua said faintly. “I just followed the recipe. It's not that hard.”
Hazel glanced at him with a sad look on her face. She tried to follow the recipe when she cooked, but it always ended up being a disaster, why did it work for her? Forget it, she was an ordinary person, not near comparable to the genius of Joshua.
Hazel said, "You should enjoy your cooking too."
"Okay." Joshua smiled softly.
"How come you suddenly come to my house?" Hazel asked shyly. It really surprised her.
"I don't have anything in the Imperial City," Joshua said faintly. "I just made some arrangements, and then I came.”
"Then how do you think to come straight to my house..." Hazel bit her lips.
"You are so bold?"
"You said that you were home alone," Joshua said faintly.
Hazel felt warm. She shyly bowed her head and continued to eat.
“You used to be home alone?” Joshua asked calmly.
"I didn't." Hazel shook her head. She said with a smile. "My parents often went out, but my brother would usually be at home to cook and clean. I was often responsible for eating and playing."
Joshua raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the Crowe Family was really good to Hazel. He wanted to meet them as soon as possible.
"Then why didn't your brother come back this year?" He asked.
"My brother went abroad to study." Hazel explained, "In fact, he wanted to come back, but he had an exam to write in the next few days, so my parents told him to focus on that.”
"Yeah." Joshua nodded.
"The Christmas Carnival show is starting soon." Hazel looked up at the TV.
"Do you like to watch it?" He asked.
"I don't like it." Hazel shook her head, "Now the Christmas Carnival show is running out of creativity. I just got nothing else to watch."
Joshua smiled.
"Right, where are you sleeping tonight?" She asked.
"I don't know yet. Maybe I will sleep at your house?" Joshua twitched his lips.
"Hey, my parents will be scared!" Hazel was shocked. "You don't really want to stay in my house?"
"Don't worry, I will leave in a moment," Joshua said. He smiled and touched.
Hazel's head. "I will go to a hotel nearby. I have already booked a room."
"Oh..." Hearing him, Hazel was relieved, but she also felt a little remorseful.
She seemed to have hurt him, and since they had been dating, Joshua cooperated and agreed with her every time. She was not willing to disclose their relationship, and he agreed. So, even when he came to see her at her parents’ house, he had to be sneaky.
"Joshua," Hazel suddenly made up her mind. She looked straight at him. "When I graduate, I will introduce you to my parents."
Joshua was slightly surprised, but he understood what Hazel was saying, it was not just to see her parents but a promise she was making. After graduation, their relationship would no longer be a secret.
He would also become her fiancé and not a "boyfriend in hiding."
"Hazel, a promise is a promise" Joshua suddenly smiled and hugged her waist gently and put his forehead on hers.
"I won't go back on my word. Now just stop doing this..." The intimacy from Joshua made her heart accelerate. She put her arms on his chest and said, "We are still eating."
Joshua gently kissed her lips. "This is a stamp on a certificate saying you can't run." Hazel's cheeks were a little redder.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the gate. People were talking, and then the doorbell rang. Hazel's face became pale, and her body went cold.
She knew the voices coming from outside the door, they were her parents’ voices. "My parents are back!" She swiftly grabbed Joshua by the hand and tried to pull him toward her room.
It was too late for Joshua to leave, if he went out the door, he would bump into her parents, she had to get him to hide.
"You are hiding here first," Hazel hurriedly said, "Don't say anything!"
"Hazel," Joshua grabbed her hands with some helplessness, "Or, shall we be straight with them?"
"No!" Hazel said with shame, then slammed the door.
A few hours ago, she told her parents that she didn't have a boyfriend and now she was hiding Joshua in her room.
If they knew the truth, Hazel worried that her dad would have a heart attack, her mom would directly put Joshua in jail to teach him a lesson, and even her brother would fly back home without writing his exam.
