Chapter 1210 - 498: Which Girl Is So Unlucky?
"He\'s my husband. Why do you care more than I do?" she waved her hands impatiently. "Come on, I\'ll satisfy your curiosity."
She looked at Joshua and asked in a very soft voice, "Why are you so late?"
Seeing Hazel\'s different attitude toward Joshua, Simon felt a little uncomfortable.
Joshua\'s eyes became a little sharp.
Madeline claimed to be Simon\'s fiancée, but now it seemed Simon had long known. Presumably, Simon had known the incident before coming here, even if he didn\'t plot it.
"I met a woman on the road. She claimed to be Simon\'s fiancée, so I was a bit delayed." Joshua said quietly.
Simon turned pale and looked at Joshua, a little surprised.
He didn\'t think Madeline would really succeed. After all, if Joshua could fall for the trick of a woman he didn\'t even like, Joshua really didn\'t deserve to be his opponent.
But Joshua came back so soon, presumably, he just kicked Madeline out. But his current meaning was that Madeline confessed so quickly?
Simon knew Madeline\'s temperament. That woman, though unreliable, would not be so quick to confess, would she? What terrible thing had Joshua done to her to actually frighten her so much that she even used him as a shield?
"You actually have a fiancée?" Hazel looked at Simon in surprise. "Which girl is so unlucky?"
"... "
Joshua and Simon were both a little speechless. Hazel, this little girl, didn\'t realize that the unlucky girl she was talking about intended to steal her husband.
"How did you meet?" Hazel looked curiously at Joshua.
"She just came to ask for directions," Joshua said quietly. "It was just a chance encounter. Surely we shall never meet again."
"..." Simon was even more shocked. Hazel didn\'t know what had happened, so she couldn\'t perceive anything behind this, but he knew what Joshua meant!
Never meet again? If Madeline was that kind of woman, who would definitely pester the other party if she failed to achieve her goal. How could she give up so early? Unless she had no choice but to give up.
Was it possible that Joshua had locked up Madeline? If that was the case, Joshua was really efficient. It had to be said that Joshua impressed him again.
Hazel was at a loss, but she didn\'t care much. After all, she didn\'t care about his fiancée.
Moments later, Hazel got up to go to the bathroom, followed by Crystal.
Simon\'s eyes flashed, and he asked in surprise, "Do you lock Madeline Carter up?"
"Who is Madeline Carter?" Joshua asked coldly. He didn\'t ask on purpose because Madeline hadn\'t told him her name before. However, it wasn\'t that Madeline didn\'t want to say, but that she really had no chance. After all, Joshua always didn\'t act as most people would.
Simon was convinced. Gosh, he has locked up a person, but he doesn\'t even know this person\'s name.
"My so-called fiancée." Simon was suddenly happy. "In fact, that\'s not true. I wasn\'t even born when the old man agreed to the Carter family\'s marriage. She is clearly the wife he arranged for you. She is your fiancée."
Joshua looked at him indifferently, his eyes cold. "Have I ever said I want to reunite with this father?"
Since he didn\'t even want to recognize Ted King as his father, how could he possibly reunite with this weird fiancée?
"... You\'re awesome." Simon praised against his will, but soon, his face darkened. "What are you going to do with this woman? Although she is a mindless vase, the Carter family isn\'t easy to deal with. Otherwise, they wouldn\'t ask the old man for an engagement before she was even born."
"What does all this have to do with me?" Joshua\'s face remained calm. "Your fiancée is under your protection. Who would think that she is in danger or that something bad would happen to her? Even if the Carter family is difficult to deal with, at least they wouldn\'t provoke you for nothing, would they?"
"... Joshua King, what do you mean?! You\'re the one who did it, but you want me to take the blame?" Simon was so angry that he wanted to swear.
He didn\'t have much contact with Joshua before, so although he appreciated Joshua\' ability, he also disliked Joshua\'s being too above board and restrained in everything he did. But why did he find Joshua was very sinister after he had much contact with Joshua? Everything Joshua did was always aboveboard? That was just his delusion!
"Since we are cooperating, you can\'t do nothing and just sit here and reap the profits, right?" Joshua opened his mouth lightly. He knew Simon would say yes, so he didn\'t mind saying a few sentences.
"You...!" Simon was furious and helpless. He didn\'t doubt if Joshua was Ted King\'s child now. Joshua\'s personality was exactly like that of the old fox!
When Hazel came back from the bathroom, she found the two of them were "having an agreeable conversation." Joshua looked happy, to be precise, but Simon\'s face was a little pale.
"What on earth happened?" she asked, very puzzled, as she sat down. "Since when did your relationship become so good?"
Simon almost spat blood. Why was she so partial! He was so pissed off like that, but she still said they had a good relationship? Hazel now had only Joshua in her eyes, didn\'t she? A woman who was blinded by love was really scary.
"Do you want to anger me to death, Pumpkin?" Simon said weakly, "Forget it, I won\'t watch your public display of affection anymore."
He stood up gloomily. Seeing this, Chester, who sat nearby, hurried to push the wheelchair to him. Simon didn\'t flaunt his superiority and sat down on the wheelchair and left.
Hazel breathed a sigh of relief. This big third wheel finally left.
After eating and drinking, Hazel and Joshua went hand in hand to the beach. It was Hazel who suggested it. After all, she had just eaten so much food that she should exercise to digest it.
The salty sea breeze made Hazel feel very comfortable. She took off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the soft sand.
Joshua followed her, holding her shoes. His mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners softly as he watched her hop and jumped on the beach.
He was about to approach her when he heard her say anxiously, "Don\'t come over!"
He was amazed, but he stood where he was obedient.
