Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Yeah, yeah," Simon said hastily. "You don't know, Hazel, Joshua's been holding your hand very tightly and hasn't given anyone a look. You don't know it when you're asleep, but he's been waiting for you to wake up and hasn't even taken a sip of water! How could he possibly have time to give the baby a look?"

Hazel's heart was very soft. She didn't really want to blame Joshua. It was just that she was too worried about the baby.

She knew that Joshua cared about her, even more than he cared about anyone else, but now she suddenly realized that even when he faced her and the child, he still cared about her first.

She tickled his palm. He looked at her tenderly as if he was saying he didn't mind.

"You two have gone too far…." Simon covered his eyes with resignation. "How can you do that? You can also show a public display of affection without talking. Is there such an operation?"

In an instant, Hazel was a little embarrassed. She wouldn't mind if Simon was the only one present, but now Stacy was here too. Besides, Stacy was wide-awake.

"Mom." Hazel blushed and then asked, "Are you…"

"Don't worry," Simon explained again. "I've already had a doctor examine mom. When you gave birth, mom's mind was stimulated, and she became clear headed, so she's fully recovered now. As long as she takes a good rest and gradually adjusts to the changes over these years. Hazel, you're her savior!"

Stacy nodded. "Yes."

Hazel was instantly relieved.

Suddenly, she looked at Simon in surprise. "You call Stacy mom so fluently. Has mom known…"

"Yes," Stacy spoke slowly. "I got a vague impression of the things around when I was sick."

Otherwise, when she suddenly woke up, she might not have been able to easily accept Simon who had grown up as her biological son since he didn't come out of her belly.

During this period of time, Simon often accompanied Stacy at the manor, so she had subconsciously accepted him as her son and knew something about what had happened before. After she became clear headed, Simon simply explained everything to her, but she accepted it naturally.

"That's nice…." Hazel felt very happy. The feeling of oppression that had been haunting her seemed to be dissipating at last, and everything seemed to become better and better.

There was a knock at the door. Simon hurried to open the door and saw the nurse held a baby in her arms.

Hazel looked at the baby expectantly. Then, suddenly, she saw Ted behind the nurse. He was sitting in his wheelchair, looking into the room with a troubled face.

Hazel's smile instantly froze.

She had been too happy to remember Ted.

She wasn't the only one whose expression altered. When the other three people saw Ted, their faces turned cold.

When the door of the ward closed, Ted felt bitter somehow.

They had seen him, and he had seen them.

They looked very happy and harmonious as a family.

He was also their family member, but it seemed that the gap between him and them wasn't just a door, but a thousand rivers and mountains. Their happiness seemed to have nothing to do with him at all; it could even be said that they regarded him to be a great disaster, with clear repulsion on their faces when they saw him.

Ted felt that he himself was completely like an outsider or even a destroyer. As long as he was around, they seemed to be unlucky.

His heart was filled with bitterness.

The nurse came to Hazel with the baby, and Hazel took it carefully.

Looking at the tiny baby, her heart was filled with love.

"Look, Joshua, he's so cute…"

Seeing Hazel so focused on the baby that she didn't even cast a glance at him, Joshua felt jealous in the heart somehow.

"I don't think so, he's like a little monkey."

"When babies are newly born, they all look common," she retorted, still having her eyes glued to the baby's face. "Besides, he must be handsome when he grows up!"

"Humph!" He snorted with disdain and muttered, "No matter how handsome he is, he'll be less handsome than me!"

Hearing this, she looked at him with somewhat surprise and then burst into laughter.

"Are you jealous?" she asked as a smile curved her lips. She really didn't expect Joshua would even be jealous of his own son!

"..." He looked away, agreeing with this saying.

"Come on," she said, coaxing him like a child. "He'll look handsome when he grows up because your genes are strong. He'll look like you, so he'll be handsome! Anyway, my husband is the most handsome!"

Her last words made Joshua look much better.

"…" Simon looked at them in disgust and then turned to Stacy. "Mom, let's go. Let's go. Both of them go too far with their public display of affection!"

Stacy was very obedient and ready to go with him.

"Come on, you guys," Hazel said with both amusement and frustration. "Mom, the baby doesn't have a name yet. Can you two help us come up with a name for him?"

The two persons, who had intended to leave, instantly stopped walking.

Simon replied with pride on his face, "Of course. He is the third generation of the King family."

"The boy's last name is Denmark," Joshua interrupted without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, his surname is Denmark." Simon froze and grinned, speaking, "It's our baby. How about Monkey Denmark?"

"I want to beat you up!" Hazel gritted her teeth in anger. How could she give her son such a name?

"How about Baby Denmark?" Simon continued to say as if he deliberately made trouble.

"Honey beat him up!" Hazel stopped talking to Simon.

Joshua stood up, cooperating.

Simon hurried to run and hide behind Stacy while speaking nervously. "Look at them, mom! They asked me for help, and I did help, but they give me the cold shoulder now!"

"They're right," Stacy said, speechless.

"You bully!" cried Simon. "You're ganging up on me!"

"Serve you right!" Hazel said with a grimace.

****

A loud noise came out from the ward, and soon they laughed merrily.

Ted felt more bitter. His family members were celebrating a new life's arrival inside, but he was outside, alone.

At this point, no matter how eagerly he denied it, he had to face the reality that he had done too much wrong that could not be made up for.

However, even if he knew he had done wrong, he didn't want to give up.

Their relationship wasn't supposed to be like this...

All of a sudden, there was a touch of determination inTed's eyes which was originally bleak.
