Chapter 1321 - 609: The First Dance

Hazel's eyes went slightly cold as a sarcastic smile played on her lips.

At this moment, she knew why the two servants were gossiping unruly outside the door because they meant to let her hear it.

This kind of familiar technique... Hazel immediately thought of Madeline.

It seemed that the servants dared to do that presumably because Madeline came up with this kind of intrigue again, and then Ted acquiesced in it.

It seemed that Ted hadn't given up trying to separate her from Joshua.

She was only dazed for a moment before the two servants continued.

"Ah... In fact, I also think they are a perfect match, but unfortunately…" said the servant, who liked Joshua, with a sudden hesitation. "they are unlikely to be together."

"Do you mean..." The other servant suddenly lowered her voice, but it was loud enough for Hazel to hear her words, "Mrs. Denmark with unknown origin?"

"Yes. I wonder why Master Joshua lost his mind. He went to Country Z, and all of a sudden, he came back with a woman who was pregnant! Her stomach is so big. God knows whose baby it is?"

"Yeah! I think Master Joshua has been enchanted, hasn't he? Otherwise, why is he willing to accept her and her baby? Also, I don't think this woman is easy to deal with. She's only been here one day, but she's made Miss Carter, who is very nice, suffer!"

"I don't think her good days will belong. It's because Master Joshua knew a few women that he was fascinated by her! All the ladies at the party are more refined and beautiful than she is? With so many excellent women, how could Master Joshua possibly like her?"

"You're right! Especially Miss Cynthia, who performed the opening dance with Master Joshua. She is the apple of the Brant family's eye! She is mixed-blood, and her mother is from Country Z, so she has learned the culture of Country Z and Country M since she was a kid. Even if she marries Master Joshua in the future, there would certainly be no gap between them!"

"It turns out she's mixed-blood? No wonder she's so pretty! I think Master Joshua really likes her. Otherwise, why did he ask her for a second dance? It's a pity I didn't see them finish the second dance as I had to come back to work."

****

The servants were still chattering about how well-matched and intimate Joshua and Cynthia were.

The two servants perceived her movements. Their voices trailed off. They looked at each other, surprised and worried.

They did say it to Hazel on purpose, and they hoped that when Hazel heard it, she would go straight to the banquet hall and make a scene!

As long as Hazel did that and disgraced Joshua, he would hate her.

But why didn't Hazel follow the script?

She heard that Joshua danced with another woman, but she didn't react at all?

Of course, Hazel had a reaction. She picked up the parenting book, but she couldn't read any letters of it.

Although she knew that the servants had spoken to her on purpose, she didn't think they would talk nonsense in such matters.

At least, it should be true that Joshua danced with another woman. Perhaps he had some excuse for having to dance with another woman. But… the thought of him dancing with another woman made her feel restless somehow.

Did Joshua really have a second dance with that woman?

Hazel's nose tingled as she thought of this possibility.

Suddenly, there was a sound of knocking outside the window.

Hazel looked nervous. She picked up the vase on the table and went softly to the window.

This was where Stacy lived. It was supposed to be the most heavily-guarded place in the manor.

Was she wrong about Ted? Ted deliberately asked Joshua to leave because he had some nasty plans?

Hazel's heart grew colder at the thought of this.

When the window was pushed open, she raised the vase and was about to smash the other party when she heard a familiar voice, "Hazel, it's me!"

She took a closer look and was taken aback.

It is actually Joshua who wanted to climb through the window?

"You're going to murder your husband again?" He chuckled as he took the vase from her.

Suddenly her face changed. She looked at Joshua with a complicated look. "Again?"

Joshua looked slightly startled. He seemed to be thinking of something, and suddenly he gave a bitter laugh. "There seemed to be a flash of memory in my head... I can't remember it clearly, but I think something like this must have happened before."

Her eyes brightened instantly. She asked a little excitedly. "Does that mean you begin to remember things?"

"Maybe..." he said bitterly. "I've had this kind of vague feeling over this month, but if I think carefully about it, I can't remember it. I didn't want to disappoint you, so I didn't tell you."

She rushed at him with joy, and he threw his arms around her, afraid he might hit her in the stomach.

"I won't be disappointed. I do wish you could remember our past, but whether you can remember it or not, you are still you, as long as your feelings for me remain the same..."

Her voice trailed off suddenly.

For some reason, she thought of the conversation between the two servants.

"... It's because Master Joshua knew a few women that he was fascinated by her…."

It seemed after losing his memory, Joshua met only a woman, who was Madeline, in addition to Hazel.

Madeline was too utilitarian and scheming, and of course, Joshua despised her. But what if he met a better, more excellent woman? Like Miss Cynthia of the Bryant family...

"Shouldn't you be dancing at a ball? What brings you here?" Hazel asked with jealousy.

"Are you jealous?" He chuckled.

"Of course not..." She pushed him away awkwardly and looked away.

"Honey, my goddess." He let out a little sigh and held her carefully from behind. He explained in a low voice, "After the first dance, I slipped away. Otherwise, how could I get back so soon?"

The first dance?

Hazel was a little confused. Didn't the servants say Joshua had the second dance with the woman?
