While she was reading, the office door was pushed open, and Jaxson walked in. "Mr. President…"
When he saw Hazel in the office, he froze.
"You can also tell what you want to say to him," she said, grinning.
"I just want to give the President so papers that he needs," Jaxson explained.
"I'll give them to him when he cos back," she smiled.
Jaxson didn't hesitate. He put a portfolio on the desk. Joshua didn't mind Hazel reading anything on his desk. Joshua wouldn't keep any secrets from Hazel, so Jaxson didn't think much about it.
After Jaxson left, Hazel put away the portfolio. She hadn't thought of opening it, but she was curious when she saw the "Top Secret" on it.
She picked it up, opened it, and took out the papers inside.
She didn't expect them to be inford about the Sloane family.
When she saw the letters clearly, she froze. Joshua... was actually investigating the Sloane family in private?
She should have been aware of that. How could Joshua, who was so clever, guess anything?
Joshua must have guessed everything when they went to visit Stacy last ti and even understood why she took him there.
He had guessed his relationship with the Sloane family, so he investigated the Sloane family?
Even though he seed to care nothing about them, he still hoped to find his biological family, didn't he?
Her eyes turned deep as she put the papers away and sealed the portfolio.
She got up and stood directly in front of the French window. Standing here, she could have a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.
Joshua was supposed to yearn for the family mbers in the heart, but with his personality, if the Sloane family had no intention of expressing goodwill, he wouldn't get close to them.
If so, she should help him. The Sloane family's attitude was too bizarre. Maybe she should figure out what had happened to make them treat Joshua like that.
She thought when the office door opened and Joshua ca in.
Looking at her, who was lost in thought, he frowned slightly, ca up behind her, and put his hand around her waist.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked in a low voice.
She ca to her senses, her eyes flashing with panic. The next mont she cald down and said, "I wonder if Simon would deliberately embarrass you if you ask him for Hanson."
"Don't worry," said Joshua dryly. "Simon knows very well that Hanson isn't worth a high price. It's good for him to fall into Simon's hands. He won't behave himself until he suffers a little."
"..." She was speechless. She had thought Joshua would say he would get Hanson back, but it turned out he was saying that Hanson wasn't worth much. Did it an that if Simon's offer were too high, he wouldn't save Hanson?
Alright, she was convinced. Hanson was really not worth their effort...
"By the way, Jaxson just handed a docunt," she said. "I put it on your desk."
Joshua stiffened slightly. It was a split second, but she perceived it.
Sure enough, it was Joshua who had asked Jaxson to investigate the Sloane family. In fact, he cared about his own identity in her heart. Perhaps, he was unwilling to face it just because of fear of being hurt.
"What docunt?" His eyes darkened a little.
She frowned a little. Joshua should have known what the docunt was. He might be sounding out if she had read it.
Then, she said quietly, "I don't know. Do you want to read it for you?"
Joshua gently rubbed her hair. "No need, I'll read it myself later."
Her fingers relaxed slightly. It looked like Joshua believed her.
It was not that she distrusted Joshua but that she knew him too well. Joshua's attitude made it clear to her that he wasn't going to get close to the Sloane family, however eager he was. Even if he knew she was going to the Sloane family, he would stop her.
But she had to do sothing for him. She didn't plan to befriend the Sloane family. She just wanted to figure out if there was so misunderstanding between the Sloane family and Joshua and whether they were worth Joshua reuniting with them. She really didn't hope the Sloane family was another Flores family.
She would not force Joshua to accept the Sloane family because he was the most important in her heart. But she would take the first step for Joshua.
Thinking all this over, Hazel suddenly turned and hugged him.
"Honey?" Joshua was surprised.
"Honey," Hazel let out a sweet cry, "I'm looking forward to my party right now."
If… she succeeded in inviting the Sloane family, it would be a happy surprise.
"I'll make it a surprise." A smile curved his lips. It looked like he had thought too much.
Her eyes grew deeper. She hoped to surprise Joshua, too.

In the evening, Hazel and Joshua returned to the Denmark Residence. Joshua was in a good mood and prepared to cook so dishes.
Hazel wanted to help, so she stayed in the kitchen, but her help only did a disservice to his cooking.
"Honey, go talk to mom and dad." He suggested, helpless.
"What? Do you dislike ?" She looked at him in exasperation. "I'm just trying to help, and even if I don't help, you can't treat like that…."
His eyes twinkled. He reached out and wrapped her in his arms. "How would I dislike you? It's just that with you around, I'm distracted."
"I don't believe it," she said, looking up at him. "Can I distract you by doing nothing?"
"Of course." His eyes twinkled, and he whispered in her ear, "If you're here. I want to… have sex with you in the kitchen. We haven't tried it in this place yet, have we?"
Her cheeks went red instantly, and she felt her whole body was scorching.
Why was he always thinking of these things recently? She was shy and tried to push him away, but he held her tightly.
"You, you let go." Her voice was full of shyness." I'll just go outside. Don't scare that way anymore!"
"Who said I'm scaring you?" He bit her ear gently. "I an it. When mom and dad go ho, let's try. Besides the kitchen, let's try in the living room and the study room..."
She scread. She hurried to push Joshua aside and ran toward the living room.
His mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners as he watched her panic-stricken figure.
