Chapter 1278 - 566: Why Can’t She Stay With My Mother?



Hearing Joshua's words, Ted felt stifled as he couldn't vent his anger.

Joshua ignored Ted's words completely and said calmly, "You want Simon to go back to Country M because you want to have a normal father-son relationship with him. I can help you with this."

Ted was not at all happy to hear his statement.

Ted said in a deep tone, "What's the price? After I get one son back, I lose another? Joshua, I won't agree."

Joshua's eyes glinted, and he spoke calmly. "It's not that hard for you to accept Hazel as your daughter-in-law, compared with losing another son, is it?"

Ted was silent again, but deep down, he was somewhat surprised. He had thought Joshua would trade it for cutting ties with him. After all, Joshua was determined and uncompromising. Otherwise, Joshua and Simon would not have fought with him a while back.

Compared to losing Joshua, accepting Hazel wasn't too difficult. But the thought of Joshua compromising only for Hazel made Ted turn even paler.

He didn't want to see two of his sons being controlled by a woman, but if he refused Joshua's proposal, he would lose two sons.

Joshua was pushing him, but he had no other choices.

"I'll think about it," Ted replied with a touch of compromise, but then he continued, "but Madeline's been following you and taking care of you. Why did you send her back?"

There was a touch of sarcasm in Joshua's eyes. "I didn't need anyone to take care of me, so I arranged for her to go back and take care of my mother."

"What did you say?!" Ted's words were filled with shock and anger. "How can you let a woman like that stay with your mother?"

"Since you think she can stay with me, why can't she stay with my mother?" There was more and more sarcasm in the smile on Joshua's lips. It turned out Ted knew what kind of woman Madeline was, but his dictatorial father didn't think he was doing anything wrong.

"You..." Ted was a little angry but didn't know what to retort.

"Aren't you still with my mother? Thank you for continuing looking after her." Joshua said simply, "When you make your decision, tell me your answer."

With that, Joshua hung up. Ted compromised but needed a push from Joshua.

As for Madeline, Joshua certainly wouldn't send such a dangerous woman to Stacy. He told Barry to take Madeline back to the manor and forbade her from going out. Having said that, Madeline would not give up and would definitely try hard to get close to and fawn on Ted.

Joshua planted Madeline's bad image in Ted's heart beforehand so that Ted would only think Madeline was up to no good and even wanted to hurt Stacy if Madeline got close to Ted.

Although Joshua was dissatisfied with Ted, Ted was totally kind to Stacy and wouldn't let any danger come to her. In addition, Ted didn't just seem deep. He was ruthless. If Madeline fell into Ted's hands, she would definitely have a very terrible ending.

If Ted could get Joshua in trouble with a woman like that, Joshua could also get Ted in trouble with a woman like that.

Stopping thinking about anything else, Joshua turned around and saw Hazel sitting on the bed, staring at him with love.

"Are you up?" Joshua came to her.

"Yes." Hazel wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against his chest.

She was awake when he answered the phone just now. She was a little dizzy, but she still could hear what Joshua had said.

He did obey her, and, instead of adopting a violent approach, he chose a gentle one to deal with Ted.

"Joshua..." She called his name softly and raised her little face to look at him with some pleasure.

Joshua held her slender waist. He kissed her fondly on the lips. "Did you hear my statement?"

"Yes, some of it..." Hazel's cheeks flushed slightly. "So you've had a plan for a long time, and that's why you asked Simon out? Let's go and meet him soon."

If she could persuade Simon to make up with Ted and his son, Ted agreed on her being with Joshua. Wouldn't it make everyone happy? Hazel's eyes flashed with anticipation despite herself.

Joshua's eyes turned deep. He could probably guess what Hazel was thinking, but he wasn't as optimistic as she was.

Previously, Simon had teamed up with him against Ted. It seemed Simon wanted to fall out with Ted totally. Simon would not have attacked his own father if it had not been for some unquenchable hatred.

While Joshua recovered, Ted forbade anyone around him from mentioning anything, but Joshua still knew something. Ted was not unkind to Simon. Having said that, they still fell out. The inside story might not be so simple.

"Let's meet him first," Joshua said as he didn't have the heart to disappoint her. He finally said, "Anyway, I'll try my best to see if I can help him untie the knot in his mind."

"Mmm!" Hazel nodded happily and looked at him expectantly. "Shall we go home tonight? I told my brother about… your coming back, and my parents also know about it."

"Good." Joshua nodded in agreement. He took Hazel away before, and it was time to explain to his in-laws.

Then they went to meet Simon together.

It was Simon who appointed the place. Before Hazel and Joshua arrived, Simon had arrived.

Simon looked coldly at the two people coming together hand in hand. Even if he wore a mask, the others could still feel his aloofness.

For some reason, Hazel's heart became nervous when she saw him.

It suddenly dawned on her that things might not be able to go on well as she had hoped.

Before they could speak, Simon asked, "So the old man is still alive?"

"Yes." Joshua nodded calmly.

"It's said that you've lost your memory?" Simon asked again. He heard about it from Madeline about it, but he didn't tell Hazel because he couldn't confirm it before.

"Yes," Joshua said again.

"Then why did you ask me to meet you today? Will you continue our plan as your original identity Joshua Denmark, or..." Simon's eyes turned cold, "have a life-or-death fight with me as the son of Ted King?"
