Joshua smiled, any doubt he had was gone, and he felt completely relieved. Hazel was not hiding anything from him, which meant nothing was going on between her and Ivan.
"Mmm. Try to go back to school as early as possible, it's cold," he said.
"Don't you want to ask me what we talked about?" She was curious.
"Hazel, I trust you," he said in a low voice. "You can handle these things."
She felt happy that he trusted her. Joshua did not continue asking her what had happened but gave her space to deal with it herself.
"It's done." She asked playfully, "What about you? Is there any relationship that you need to deal with?"
"No," he replied softly.
He had never had an affair, and he had never had any interest in anyone else. Even Vanessa, who liked him, definitely said she had given up. He didn't think there was any relationship that he had to deal with.
"I believe you." She smiled.
