Hazel was feeling very helpless.
Vanessa grew up with Isaac and the others, it was completely normal for her to be present at Grandpa Anderson's birthday party. However, Hazel still thought Vanessa was very disturbed.
She would feel uncomfortable every ti she saw Vanessa, as if Vanessa was deliberately targeting her.
At the beginning of the banquet, people began to wish Grandpa Anderson a happy birthday. Sam accompanied him and handled it with ease.
Joshua brought two drinks and handed them to Hazel.
"Isn't... Isn't it wine?" Hazel asked anxiously.
She had made several jokes in front of Joshua, and now she would be scared almost every ti she saw wine.
"Don't worry, it's grape juice. I asked Isaac to prepare it." Joshua chuckled.
Hazel was relieved. She took a sip of the sweet, sour grape juice.
"Joshua, who is he?" Looking in Sam's direction, Hazel asked in a low voice, frowning.
"Sam is Isaac's cousin." Joshua whispered, "Grandpa Anderson had an elder brother who betrayed the family for a woman, so the Anderson family passed on the family business to Grandpa Anderson. Later, his brother and his wife were killed in a car accident, leaving only a child who was ten. Grandpa Anderson was kind and took his nephew into his ho and resided with him. Sam is actually the grandnephew of Grandpa Anderson. But the father and son are so ambitious that they think the Anderson family should belong to them, so they have been making trouble. Worse still, all of Isaac's uncles have ulterior motives, and Grandpa Anderson can only barely restrain them."
Hazel was dumbstruck.
Isaac usually looked cynical and heartless, but to her surprise, Isaac had been growing up in this kind of environnt.
"But I think Isaac doesn't seem to want to compete." Hazel mused.
At the birthday party of his grandfather, all the grandchildren surrounded Grandpa Anderson, trying their best to push themselves forward, especially Sam, who had been around him all the ti.
As for Isaac, he had already gone to talk with so pretty won who ca to the party.
"Well." Joshua nodded. "Isaac had seen so many plots and intrigues, beginning when he was a child that he has been very resistant to them and always wants to stay away from ho. But his grandfather loves him the most and worries about him the most."
"That's right. After his grandfather dies, Isaac won't fight for it, but others don't think so. His life will be hard without his grandfather's protection." Hazel sighed.
Joshua was a little surprised. He had simply told Hazel about the situation of the Anderson family, but she was so perceptive.
Sure enough, she was right. Hazel was indeed brilliant. Most of the ti, she just didn't care, but as long as she was willing to think, she could always grasp the root of the matters keenly.
"Besides..." Hazel hesitated.
"Huh?"
"Isn't it good for us to whisper about soone's secret?" Hazel whispered with a little embarrassnt.
Joshua said quietly, "I'd rather tell you than you ask Isaac."
Hazel didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Why was Joshua jealous again?
"You seem to care about Isaac especially?" She looked at him playfully.
Suddenly, it seed that she rembered sothing, and then she asked in shock, "Do you... have so special feelings for him?!"
Joshua was so angry with her that he almost laughed. What was the girl thinking?
"Hazel," he said with deep eyes as he approached her, "it seems like I need to prove my sexual orientation to you."
She understood the hint in it, so she quickly shook her hands. "Don't bother, don't bother. I'm sure your relationship is pure."
"Huh?" His face darkened. This girl! The more she said, the more absurd it seed to be.
"I'm wrong." She admitted her mistake very sensibly. "I believe you, really!"
"It's too late to admit it now!" He ca closer to Hazel, and the flaming desire in his eyes got a little more intense.
He leaned over and whispered in her ears, "Hazel, I'll show you tonight!"
Her heart missed a beat, and she was shy and remorseful despite herself. Why did she play with fire again?
"Master Denmark." A waiter ca to them. "Our master asked you to co over."
Grandpa Anderson was looking for him? Joshua cocked an eyebrow. "What's the matter?"
"I don't know," The servant said.
Joshua took Hazel by the hand, but the servant said in a dilemma, "Mr. Denmark, our master only invited you."
Joshua furrowed his eyebrows.
"You may go." Knowing that Joshua was worried about her, Hazel smiled. "He must have sothing too private to talk about, and it would not be convenient for to be around. I'll wait here until you co back."
Joshua was still a little reluctant.
"Rest assured." Hazel continued, "I'm not a kid, and it's the Anderson family's residence here. Why are you worried now that they're so many people at the party?"
"I'm more worried because you're not a kid." Joshua couldn't resist but laughed. "Ok then, don't run about. I'll co back to you after we are done talking."
"Mmm." She nodded.
Joshua followed the servant upstairs while Hazel waited for him very obediently. Noticing that Joshua left, several won not far away from Hazel discussed for a bit and then walked over to her.
"What's your na, Miss?" the woman taking the lead.
Hazel was a little startled. Why did they co to talk to her?
"... My last na is Denmark," she replied cautiously because she felt that these won must have a certain reason to be asking.
"Denmark?" A few won's eyes lit up, and they asked quickly, "Are you the cousin of Mr. Denmark? Oh, nice to et you…"
Then they jabbered their nas.
It turned out that they ca for Joshua. Hazel felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, she had been careful and did not tell them her real last na. Otherwise, if any sharp-eyed woman found out that Hazel was the one who had an affair with Joshua, they might tear her up.
Hazel didn't rember any of their nas, but she knew they were all Isaac's cousins. Many of the ladies in the large families would have a comrcial marriage, and Joshua was undoubtedly the best choice, so surely, they would try their best to soften her up.
"Miss Denmark, do you know what Mr. Denmark likes best?"
"What does he like for a gift?"
"What's his hobby?"
***
Hazel had quite a headache as she was chased by a group of won asking questions about Joshua. How could she know all the answers? She did not know his preferences, like the back of her hand.
