Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Simon suddenly felt very amused. Now, why did Joshua and Madeline both want to cooperate with him?

But even if he would like to cooperate, he would decide the partner according to the personality.

Madeline was a lot smarter than before, but he really didn't take her little smart tricks seriously.

"With you?" Simon sneered. "What are you?'

He could see that Madeline's so-called cooperation was just using him. If he cooperated with such a woman, he was afraid that she not only would be a burden to him but also would eventually set him up. Madeline's IQ was not high, but her heart was black-hearted. Hence, he wouldn't stupidly cooperate with this woman.

"You...!" Madeleine was blue with anger. She had already scolded Simon thousands of times in her heart, but she dared not say a word.

Taking a deep breath, Madeline euphemistically said, "Master Simon, I am doing it for you, too. You've been chasing Hazel for so long, but isn't the relationship between her and Joshua getting better and better? What you need now is a helper. It's useless to deal with Hazel, but you can consider dealing with Joshua first…"

Madeline's voice dropped. Although what she said was the expectations in her heart, she felt extremely panicky at Simon's mocking eyes, which seemed to have seen through everything. She took a fancy to Simon previously, but the man looked down upon her from the very beginning!

"Since you can wait until now to speak your mind, you've made great progress." Simon averted his eyes. "Madeline Carter, I know exactly what you want to do. If you want to seduce Joshua, I don't mind at all. If you're really successful, I can give both of you a big present."

Madeline felt a bit sad in the heart. This statement was what she came to Simon for. But when she really heard him say so, she felt it was a great shame! No matter what kind of man she met, she had the confidence to attract them, but why was Simon uninterested in her? But he deeply loved Hazel Crowe. Why?!

"Madeline, I don't care what you want to do," Simon's eyes suddenly went cold as if he had figured out what she was thinking, "but if you dare to do something to Hazel, then don't blame me for being unkind to you!"

"What do you mean?" Madeline stared at him incredibly. "Are you threatening me?"

Threaten? Simon just thought it was funny. Suddenly he curled his lips wickedly. "By the way, you are my nominal fiancée now, so I've told your family that I'll be responsible for you in Country Z. They don't need to worry about you. They seem to be happy that we have the opportunity to develop our feelings."

A chill rose in Madeline's heart. Her family was very dissatisfied with her because of her relationship with Simon, so if Simon said that, they would never care about her! If she really offended Hazel in such a place, she would be unable to get any help!

Simon was warning her in this way. This was not a threat!

"You can rest assured that my goal is not her!" Madeline clenched her teeth. Hum, at most, she wouldn't touch Hazel. Even without Simon's help, she still had a way to lure Joshua to her bed!

After that, Madeline left directly with high heels, like a proud white swan. Looking at her back, Simon sneered.

When Chester came in, he hesitated and asked, "Shall we tell Miss Crowe, Young Master?"

"You dared to eavesdrop!" Simon rolled his eyes.

"No…" Chester explained quickly, "It's clear that she wanted to do something bad to someone. You're so close to Miss Crowe. How could she possibly let Miss Crowe go given her narrow-minded temper?"

"Not bad, kiddo. You've been smarter lately." Simon shook his head, amused. "But we don't need to do that. This woman is no match for Pumpkin."

The Carter family couldn't help Madeline, and Crystal accompanied Hazel. Madeline's threat to Hazel was almost zero, so Simon certainly wasn't worried.

***

Hazel didn't know she had another love rival now! But even if she knew that she might not care.

After Joshua finished his work, he took Hazel to a French restaurant.

"What do you bring me here for?" Hazel asked in surprise.

"You said yesterday that you wanted to have French food." His mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners gently.

Hazel felt sweet. Yesterday she did mention that in passing, and she mentioned it only on the spur of the moment, but she didn't expect Joshua to keep it in mind.

Their box had been booked in advance, and the table was placed near the window so that they could have a direct overlook of the imperial capital during the meal.

Hazel enjoyed eating, but she couldn't help putting down her knife and fork when she thought about the Sloane family.

"Are you full?" he asked.

"Er... I want to talk to you about something," she said seriously.

"It seems that you are really full." He smiled lightly. If she wasn't full, Hazel would not want to discuss problems with him so seriously. He put down his knife and fork and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"

"In fact..." She bit her lip. She hesitated for a moment and said as a feeler, "I think Grandpa Sloane is very nice..."

After that, she looked quietly at him.

"Mm." He nodded. "But don't have too much contact with them."

"Why?!" She looked at him in surprise.

Joshua said this because he intended to break up with the Sloane family?

"It's not the right time now." He frowned slightly.

Ted hadn't been solved, so he didn't want to involve the Sloane family, let alone Stacy, who the Sloane family had been hiding. If he got too close to the Sloane family, then the Sloane family would be targeted.

"Not the right time?" Hazel was even more confused.

After pondering for a while, Joshua began to complain about hidden bitterness, "Honey, it's our honeymoon now. I hope you have only me in your heart."

"Ah?" She looked at him, speechless. So Joshua was just jealous? Was that true? Was he even jealous of this kind of thing?

She frowned in disbelief. "But I'm doing this for you too…."

"If you want to be good to me, you should think about where you want to play," he spoke lightly.

"Where to play? Why did you suddenly mention this?" She was even more confused. She was almost overwhelmed by his broken thoughts.

"Let's go on holiday." He smiled. "I haven't taken you to the place you want to go yet. It so happens that we both are free recently."

Go on holiday? Hazel couldn't help frowning. Suddenly, she looked at him with quiet eyes. "Joshua, are you hiding something from me? Something…very dangerous?"
