"Mom, this was not his idea," Hazel hurriedly explained. "I wanted to wait until graduation to reveal our relationship. It was my own decision to cover it up. He didn't teach me to be bad..."
Joshua's heart was warm, Hazel spoke for him, he was pleased. However, the more she said good things about him, the more the Crowe family glared at him.
"Hazel!" she began with anger in her voice. "Even if it is your own decision, you only had the idea of deceiving your family after meeting him. Isn't that his fault?"
Hazel was persecuted and powerless, she was not irrational.
Joshua wanted to disclose their relationship more than she wanted. She had always refused, and he would follow her. He was innocent, but her parents seemed to be unconcerned with the truth. They just wanted to make Joshua responsible for all of it.
Seeing that Hazel still had something to say, Joshua shook his head.
