Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

She was dazed. Would it be just her illusion?

If Joshua did come back, why did he avoid her instead of meeting her?

"Let's go." She lowered her eyes somewhat sadly and turned around to walk into the hospital.

Simon looked around doubtfully but saw nothing suspicious. Finally, he caught up with Hazel.

In the corner of the parking lot, Joshua looked out the window of his car and looked in the direction where Hazel left with deep eyes.

Seeing Simon enter the hospital with Hazel, he felt a little jealousy somehow. Why would he be so unhappy? Joshua frowned slightly.

"Master Joshua, what should we do with this woman?" Outside the window, Barry stood with Madeline, waiting for Joshua's order.

Madeline looked panic-stricken.

Hardly had she followed Hazel to the hospital when Joshua's men caught her! To her surprise, Joshua also came!

Madeline was terrified to see Simon and Hazel not far away. She was really scared that Joshua and Hazel would meet. If they met, there would be no chance for her to be with Joshua! She hadn't even had the chance to drive a wedge between Joshua and Hazel!

Madeline wasn't relieved until Hazel and Simon left.

Seeing Joshua's cold eyes coming straight at her, Madeline shivered instantly. She said quickly, "Josh, Joshua, I follow Simon because I want to help you…."

"Who's the woman next to him?" Joshua asked flatly.

"I, I don't know..." Madeline denied it subconsciously, but the next moment, there was a flash of malice in her eyes, and she said with an innocent expression, "but she and Simon are so close, then she must be Simon's lover."

In a flash, Joshua's eyes went cold.

Madeline's heart missed a beat, but she gritted her teeth to suppress her fear and continued, "Joshua, I'm not talking nonsense. I know Simon very well. He has been a playboy, and the women around him are all his lovers.

What's more, Simon goes to a gynecological hospital with this woman, then she is more than just his lover. That woman's belly is slightly protruding. I think she must be pregnant with Simon's baby. They're probably here for antenatal care!"

Joshua's fingers tightened slightly.

He certainly didn't believe what Madeline said. He didn't like Madeline at all. However, he could also see it seemed that Hazel was really pregnant and that Simon went here with her for antenatal care.

Madeline stole a glance at him. She could not guess what he thought as his face darkened. But she hadn't forgotten why she came here. She came because she was afraid that Joshua and Hazel would become entangled with each other!

After thinking for a while, Madeline spoke again, "Joshua, it's just a woman. You really don't have to fall out with Simon over her. Don't forget that our purpose is to take Simon back. If we raise new issues, Uncle Ted won't be happy!"

Joshua gave her a cool look. "Are you afraid I will be entangled with that woman?"

"No, it isn't..." Madeline stammered instantly, "Joshua, I really did it for you..."

There was a little sarcasm in his eyes. Madeline must know something. The more she kept it from him, the more he wanted to know.

"In that case, let's try to lead Simon away," Joshua said simply.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Madeline nodded happily, "When Simon has led away, we can directly take him away, and then we can go back to Country M!"

"Well said," Joshua gave her an approving look. "In that case, you'll lead Simon away."

"Good… What?!" Madeline's face paled totally when she understood what Joshua meant.

Joshua actually wanted to use her as bait?!

Simon hated her very much. She had suffered a lot when she was imprisoned. If she fell into Simon's hands again, how could she survive?

"I think your idea is great, so I obey you," Joshua said flatly.

Madeline's face was white as a sheet. She almost wanted to slap herself! What the hell was she doing! she actually set herself up?!

Madeline said pitifully, "But, Simon doesn't like me..."

"Isn't that great?" Joshua spoke with a serious face. "So you, the bait, can work."

He really wanted her to act as bait! Madeline was going wild! Why did she think she had been set up by Joshua from beginning to end?

But things had gone to this point. If she refused, Joshua would doubt it.

In addition, Joshua didn't give her any chance to refuse.

"Barry, take her to act as planned," Joshua said quietly.

Madeline was taken away by Barry. Joshua got out of the car and went straight into the hospital.

***

Normally, it was her parents or her brother who accompanied Hazel for care. Simon accompanied her today. Although he wore a mask on his face, he hugely surprised Dr. Lynch, who did the antenatal care for Hazel.

After helping Hazel with her antenatal care, she joked despite herself, "Mrs. Denmark, your husband finally is willing to come here with you?"

"He's not my husband," Hazel said coldly.

Dr. Lynch was somewhat embarrassed. She had met Hazel's family. The relationship between Simon and Hazel seemed very awkward. They didn't just like common friends. What was more, there were few male friends who accompanied a woman to do antenatal care.

Dr. Lynch, who thought she had seen through everything, couldn't help persuading, "Have you quarrel? Sir, I don't want to scold you, but your wife is now pregnant and needs a good mood to ensure the baby's healthy growth. Your wife has been here so many times, but how many times have you accompanied her? How can you be such an incompetent husband?"

Dr. Lynch berated Simon with righteous indignation. Simon had no choice but to listen helplessly and nod his head again and again, with an open mind.

Hazel tried to explain, but Dr. Lynch firmly believed Simon was her husband, so she said no more.

Joshua stood outside the doctor's office with slightly sullen eyes. He arrived when Dr. Lynch scolded Simon.

Husband and wife? Is Hazel really pregnant with Simon's baby?

When he saw Hazel didn't deny it, Joshua's eyes went cold, and his heart was full of jealousy. He took out his phone and sent a message.

"Action."
