Chapter 68: Achieve Her Wish?

Just as they were about to leave, Nanny Carter came out and asked, “Is it, Miss Young?” “Yes.” Joshua nodded. “Mr. Denmark, you should personally take her home,” Nanny Carter advised. “Her family has helped the Denmark family. If anything happens to her, it would be hard for you to explain it.” “I see.” Joshua agreed and also got into the car. As soon as the car reached Vanessa’s apartment, Joshua and the driver helped her upstairs quickly to avoid suspicion. After finding the key in her bag, Joshua opened the apartment door, and the driver helped Vanessa walk into the bedroom. No sooner had she been put in her bedroom than she woke up slowly. Looking at the blurry figure before her eyes, Vanessa suddenly grabbed the driver’s arm. “Joshua, is that you?” The driver was startled. He pushed her away and walked out of the bedroom. “Is she in bed?” Joshua, who had been waiting in the living room, asked in a low voice. “Yes,” the driver hesitated and gave the bedroom a look. “Mr. Denmark, Miss Young seems to have woken up.” “It’s not bad if she is awake. Leave her alone.” Joshua frowned. “Let’s go.” They walked out of the room and locked Vanessa’s door. As Joshua was walking down the stairs, his cell phone suddenly rang. After answering the phone, he said to the driver, “Take me to the airport first. Tell Nanny Carter I’ll have an urgent business trip.” The driver nodded and got into the car. Vanessa was still so drunk that she struggled to get out of bed and ran out of the room to chase after Joshua. She opened the door drunkenly, and there happened to be a figure with sneaky behavior in the hallway outside. “Joshua, is that you?” she abruptly hugged him. The man was frightened and tried to push Vanessa away hurriedly. “Sleep with me, Joshua,” Vanessa said, holding him desperately and refusing to let go. “As long as you promise, I will give up, and I will never pester you again…” The man she was hugging heard her clearly, then he looked around and pulled her back to the apartment. Hazel thought about it all night, and after discussing it with Ariel, she finally decided to make Joshua homemade chocolates for a Thanksgiving Day gift. She had watched videos on the internet about making chocolates; the directions appeared simple enough. Hazel downloaded a video from the Internet and was just about to start the chocolates when her phone rang. “Looks like someone’s going on another date.” Summer jokes. “No date.” Hazel was determined and went to the balcony with her phone. “Hazel, I’m out of town now on a business trip for a few days,” Joshua said in a low voice. Her heart missed a beat. Thanksgiving Day was coming up. Joshua would be back in time, wouldn’t he? “When will you be back?” she asked. He was slightly astonished, smiled and, in his sexiest voice, asked, “Miss me?” “... Who misses you?” Her face was a little flushed, protesting flirtishly. “Stop being so narcissistic. I'm just asking.” “About three days,” he replied. Three days later? It happened to be Thanksgiving Day. Instantly, she became a little worried and couldn’t help asking, “Can you make it back by that night?” He said quietly, “I should be able to make it. What’s the matter?” “Nothing, nothing,” she waved her head happily. “I’m just asking. All right, I'll hang up if there's nothing else.” Having hung up, Joshua was somewhat surprised. Hazel seemed to care about him coming home in three days, but she wasn’t asking anything else. Why all the sneaky questions? “What day will it be in three days?” Joshua looked at Jaxson. “Thanksgiving Day,” Jaxson answered without hesitation. Then he asked unexpectedly, “Don’t you know that, President?” Joshua suddenly understood her concern. It was not that he did not know Thanksgiving Day, but that it was a day he had never cared about before, nor had he ever celebrated with anyone. Hazel repeatedly confirmed his schedule on the phone, mostly because she wanted to spend Thanksgiving Day with him. He had forgotten that Hazel was still at the age that she liked to do these silly things, he should be more considerate. “Jaxson, help me arrange something,” he said in a deep voice. “Also, on Thanksgiving Day, we’ll try to get back as early as possible.” “Yes, Mr. President.” Jaxson agreed. Joshua was thinking of Hazel when his phone rang, he looked at the screen hoping it was her but his heart sunk when he saw Vanessa. He answered the phone, sounding distant, “Vanessa, what can I do for you?” “Joshua, I…” There was a touch of shyness in her voice. She wanted to say something, but she bit her lip. “If there’s nothing, I will hang up,” he said coldly. “Joshua,” Vanessa hastily asked, “did you bring me home yesterday?” “Yes.” He was somewhat impatient. “Thank you, Joshua. Thank you for helping me achieve my wish…” There was a certain delight in Vanessa’s bashful voice. Achieve her wish? The driver and himself only took her home last night and left immediately. How did he help her to achieve her wish? He was trying to find out, but Vanessa continued, “Joshua, I got it. You can rest assured that I’ll give up now and will not harass you again.” There was more doubt in his mind, but if she weren’t going to bother him anymore, it would save him some trouble. “Vanessa, you’ll always be my younger sister,” he said in a deep voice. On hearing this, Vanessa swallowed her anger, and she said in an obedient manner, “Joshua, I got it.” When she hung up, a shiver went down Vanessa’s spine. How could it be possible to make her give up like that? It turned out that Joshua had really brought her home last night, and then he stayed to make love to her. Since he was willing to sleep with her, it showed he had feelings for her. How could she let it go? She picked up her phone and called Kenny. “Kenny, come with me to Quantum University.” “Why are you going to Quantum University?” Kenny asked in astonishment. “I caused a scene and made everyone uncomfortable yesterday. Come to think of it, I think it was rude of me to have done that,” she said. “So, I want to go to Quantum University and apologize to Hazel.” “Are you really going to apologize to her?” Kenny asked with hesitation. He still could feel Vanessa’s hostility towards Hazel. “Of course, I’ll apologize, otherwise, why would I ask you to go with me?” There was some reproach in her voice. “Do you think I’m trying to embarrass her? If I really wanted to do that, I’d have gone by myself secretly.” “Alright, I’ll pick you up,” Kenny said. After hanging up, Vanessa sneered despite herself. She could not wait to see Hazel’s expression when she found out what had happened between her and Joshua last night.
