Ted, who was in a bad mood, had Simon thrown out.
Then he ca to Stacy with a bitter face. "Stacy… I just want a happy ho with you and two obedient children. Why is it so hard?"
Suddenly, a noise ca from outside the door. "Let in! I need to see Uncle King. Seriously, I have sothing important to tell him. Please let in!"
Ted's face suddenly turned pale. He beckoned a servant to take Stacy into the room before letting Madeline in.
After entering the room, Madeline fell directly on her knees. "Uncle King, please don't send away. I must stay even if I have to stay here as a servant."
There was a hint of impatience on Ted's face. He kept Madeline before because he wanted Joshua to find there were many better won than Hazel in the world.
But what happened? He gave Madeline plenty of support, but not only did she fail, but also the bond between Joshua and Hazel beca even stronger. If it weren't for the fact that he had owed the Carter family a favor, he would have made this woman disappear from the world as early as possible!
"I won't have anyone useless around !" he said in a deep tone.
"I'm still useful, really!" she said anxiously. The manor was terrible, but she would have no chance to be with Joshua at all! So, no matter how scared she was, she had to fight to stay!
She added quickly, "Joshua and Hazel Crowe are together, but that doesn't an anything! Joshua has lost his mory. He doesn't rember Hazel Crowe at all! I think even if they are together, it's just because Hazel is pregnant with Joshua's baby. He is responsible, that's why he takes care of her!
"They have only been together for a month, how can Joshua losing his mory, have deep feelings for her? Now is the ti for us to tear them apart! If we created more misunderstanding between them, we could certainly keep them apart..."
Ted frowned unhappily. Madeline's constant chatter really annoyed him.
However, he approved of what she ant.
Joshua and Hazel had only been together for a month after he lost his mory. How could their relationship possibly be deep? The earlier he tore them apart, the better.
As for Madeline, she could stay, but he had to give her a hard ti too!
"Enough, I know!" he interrupted impatiently. "If you want to be a servant, then so be it."
Madeline shivered in fear, but she expressed her gratitude and finally left.
In West House, Joshua had prepared the al and sent it straight to the bedroom.
"Sweet-and-sour rib!" Hazel exclaid. She happily picked up a rib and tasted it. Suddenly, she stared at Joshua, freezing.
"What's the matter?" he whispered. "Not delicious?"
"No..." She shook her head slowly.
He always had a good cook, but Hazel preferred her mother Rachel's ho-cooked sweet-and-sour rib; Hazel unconsciously said that once. Later, when she and Joshua returned to City S on their honeymoon, Joshua consulted Rachel personally and learned how to cook this dish.
And now, the dish he cooked had the sa flavor.
Joshua lost his mory. He should not have rembered the recipe. Even if this was his cooking habit, he should have cooked the ribs the way he knew them best, right?
Maybe...
Hazel's eyes suddenly sparkled as her heart was filled with expectations.
"You, you…" She suddenly looked around. Although Joshua removed many of the caras, what if he missed one?
Taking a deep breath, she whispered in his ear, "Joshua, do you rember sothing?"
"... Sorry, no." He thought for a while, with a light in his eyes, and then replied.
"Oh..." Her face was full of disappointnt, and she asked with reluctance, "But why did you cook sweet-and-sour ribs in this way?"
"I just subconsciously thought you might like it better," he explained in a low voice.
"I see," she said with a bitter smile. Sure enough, she thought a lot. Perhaps she was so expectant to see Joshua rember their past that she just imagined things.
Joshua's eyes twinkled, and suddenly he stretched out his arms and gently embraced her.
"Hazel, do you know what happened when I was in a coma before?" he whispered. "I heard a woman constantly calling . She said she was waiting for to co ho and told not to give up. So I struggled to wake up. Although my injuries were not life-threatening, the speed of my recovery amazed all the doctors.
"They just didn't know I thought to myself that if I could heal my wounds and move freely, I could find the most important person in my life, the one I wouldn't give up until the day I died.
"Then I t you. The mont I saw you, I knew that all I had done was to be reunited with you again. So, whether I rember the past or not, you are the most important person in my whole life."
"Joshua..." Hazel said in a choked voice. She was too pushy. What did it matter even if Joshua couldn't rember their past? He has always been with her. That was enough.
"Shh," Joshua whispered, putting his finger lightly on her lips. "Don't call by my na. When there's nobody else, call Honey."
Hazel froze again.
Before Joshua lost his mory, he loved her to call him like that. Why did Joshua also love that? She was even a little dazed. Did he really rember nothing?
Seeing her in a daze, Joshua kissed her on the lips with a little irritation.
"... Hmm!" Her eyes widened, and she tried to push him away, but he kissed her deeper and deeper, with a smack of punishnt. She struggled for a while before she could do nothing but slowly give up resistance and allow him to release his emotions.
"So you don't like to call Honey, eh?" he whispered.
"It's not that..." Hazel's cheeks were burning.
"Then change it." He chuckled.
"Honey…" she whispered softly, with a mist of tears in her eyes. Joshua's eyes flashed, and the next mont, he held her gently in his arms.
***
Their first day in West House was comparatively peaceful, but the peace was only temporary.
Early the following day, Ted arranged for a servant to visit Hazel.
"Mrs. Denmark," said the servant, "Master asks you to accompany Mrs. King."
