Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Watching Grandpa Sloane's caring face, Hazel felt guilty.

He really cared about her, but she deceived him in this way.

However, she bit her lips slightly and held back the guilty in the heart. She must struggle to ease the Sloane family's relationship with Joshua.

"No, I'm not fine!" Her eyes turned to look somewhere else, wandering. Then she gritted her teeth. "I have a headache, my arms ache, my legs ache... It hurts all over anyway."

"Leo, help Miss Crowe go into the car and take her to the hospital!" Grandpa Sloane said nervously.

"I…" Guilty came over her heart again, but in the end, she didn't change her mind.

Soon enough, Grandpa Sloane sent her to the hospital, where he required doctors should perform an exam on her whole body. Even if the doctors repeatedly tell him that Hazel was fine and very healthy, he didn't believe it and insisted that the doctor examine her a few more times.

The doctors and the driver were very dissatisfied with Hazel, deciding that Hazel was deliberately trying to fake an injury and bluff him.

In the ward, looking at Grandpa Sloane wearing a worried face, Hazel could not continue to pretend.

She couldn't resist saying to him. "Mr. Sloane, I should be fine. Rest assured…"

"The car almost hit you, and you fell. How could you be fine?" He said thoughtfully, "Don't worry, Miss Crowe. I'll get them to take the exam again to make sure you're not injured.'

Hazel felt her nose hurt slightly as she would like to cry. She sensed the sincerity of his concern for her. He knew she faked an injury on purpose, but he was still worried that she might get hurt in that kind of dangerous situation. This kind of relationship was like a grandpa to a granddaughter. It was because he really loved her as a junior that he was so nervous.

"I'm really fine," she explained helplessly, "but… I feel a little dizzy. I can't remember things very well. Well, why don't you ask me some questions and help me remember them?"

With a complicated face, Grandpa Sloane looked at Hazel on the hospital bed. How could… this girl so sensible?

He could tell that Hazel tried to fake an injury, but she was doing that just because she tried to keep him. The girl… was even willing to risk her life for Joshua. How could he not be moved by her devotion to his grandson?

Besides, she knew their Sloane family's relationship with Joshua and sensed that he didn't want to reunite with Joshua, but until now, she had not forced him by telling the truth directly, nor blamed him for his heartlessness. She even sympathized with him, who desired to understand his own grandson, and allowed him to ask what he wanted to ask in this way!

Joshua was so lucky to meet such a nice girl.

Grandpa Sloane's heart, which he had intended to harden, finally softened. Hazel tried so desperately that he couldn't bear to let her down. With a wave of his hand, he beckoned the doctor and the driver to leave first.

"Hazel…." He lovingly called her name. "You gave me an invitation…."

She took out the invitation. "Is that it?"

"Mmm." He nodded and stretched out his hand to take the invitation and directly put it in his pocket.

Hazel's mouth was wide open. Did Grandpa Sloane accept the invitation mean he would be present that day?

"You, you will go that day?" she asked, her eyes delighted.

He was a little bit reluctant, but eventually, he hardened his heart. "... I'm really busy that day, but I'll send you a gift."

Hazel's eyes dimmed. It looked as though he just loved her but still did not change his mind.

"Then ask me a question." She smiled quietly. Since he had his own insistence, then she could do nothing but stop when it was time. It was better to take things easy.

Grandpa Sloane was somewhat embarrassed. He knew what Hazel wanted. When he really refused to be present, he was a little ashamed.

Taking a deep breath, he finally asked, "Hazel, who is preparing the party for you?"

"My husband, Joshua Denmark," she replied sweetly, with a faint smile.

"Husband? Are you married?" he asked, shocked.

Joshua and Hazel didn't widely publicize they had gotten the marriage certificate. After all, Joshua' plan was to arrange the wedding after he threw a party for everyone to know who Hazel was and that she was approved by Denmark Group.

As a result, their marriage was known only to them and the Crowe family, and even the directors of Denmark Group didn't know that.

"Yeah," Hazel laughed more sweetly. "Just the other day, when I graduated…."

Hearing her speak, Grandpa Sloane felt a little guilt somehow. It was already bad enough of him not to reunite with Joshua. Now that Joshua was married, he didn't give him many gifts. He couldn't even be present. As a grandfather, he was really… incompetent.

It looked like his gift to Hazel would have to be more precious.

"And what kind of man… is your husband?" Grandpa Sloane asked sadly, "How has he been these years?"

Hazel calmly told him everything she knew.

When he heard that Joshua was raised in an orphanage, even though he had found out all this to begin with, he couldn't help wailing. When he learned that Joshua had been searching for Hazel since his adoptive parents died, he couldn't help marveling. Hearing that the Flores family shamelessly used Joshua's guilt to impersonate his family members, he couldn't help feeling a surge of anger. Later, he felt extremely gratified to learn that the two of them had gone through various hardships and finally got married.

Especially when Hazel praised Joshua with pride, he also felt honored.

What a wonderful child! He was the grandson of his Sloane family.

But he was also that man's child...

Because of that person, they couldn't even reunite with Joshua while meeting him face to face.

But as long as he knew that Joshua was alive, it was great. Furthermore, he had grown into such a sagacious mature man with his own business and family. Even if they never reunite, as long as he knew that Joshua lived a good life, he was very happy.

The more they talked, the better they got along with each other. However, when Hazel gave her phone a casual look, she was shocked to see so many missed calls!

All those calls were from Joshua! Her face paled at once. When she nearly got hit, she was so scared that she dropped her phone. Did the phone break down at that very moment?
