Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

The servants of the villa were covering the furniture with a white cloth. The owners had apparently left, and it was unknown when they would return. The living room, which was very lively a few days ago, now smelt cold.

Joshua and the others… had left?

Where did they go? Did they leave to avoid him and stop him from pestering?

"What's the matter? Where are your masters?" Ted roared angrily.

"They returned to Country Z," said a servant, scared.

Returned to Country Z... Ted felt so cold that he almost passed out.

They left without leaving him a word.

According to the time, it had been nearly a month since Hazel gave birth. She had recovered from the birth, and Randy was in better health, so there was no reason for them to stay in Country M anymore. They stayed here only because it wasn't convenient for Hazel to have a trip.

Ted suddenly realized how indulgent Joshua had been before as Joshua had given him many chances.

If Joshua didn't want to be reunited with him, as long as he went straight back to Country Z as he did now, there was nothing Ted could do to him. Country Z was Joshua's zone, and even Ted, in his heyday, was not sure if he could do something to Joshua in Country Z.

Wasn't it because of Joshua's trust in his father that Joshua was willing to go to Country M and even his manor? Perhaps in his heart of hearts, Joshua had thought Ted was not a completely hopeless case, but Ted had let him down again and again and had even forced Joshuatochoose to cut ties with him once and for all.

The world was so big, but suddenly Ted felt as if the whole world had abandoned him. He was so lonely, but who was to blame? It was clearly him himself who had asked for it!

In Country Z, Hazel returned to her familiar Denmark Residence and felt totally comfortable!

"Oh no! We haven't got Randy a room yet!"She suddenly remembered something and said in a worried voice.

"Come with me." Joshua took her by the hand and led her upstairs.

She followed him with a puzzle, and then they stopped at a guest room on the second floor.

"Open it," he said with a smile.

She opened the door curiously, and the next moment she was astounded. The guest room had been converted into a baby room. The room was blue and very suitable for little boys.

"When did you do it?" she asked in surprise.

He smiled faintly. "When I was in Country M, I was already preparing the drawings and asking the servants at home to help convert."

She went into the room and happily turned around. From each of these objects, Joshua's attention could be seen. Moreover, she suddenly realized that she and Joshua had chosen most of the objects together. When they were in Country M, Joshua often showed her pictures of some baby objects and asked her which she preferred!

"Joshua!" Hazel happily walked to him and put her arms around his neck, her eyes sparkling, "How can you be so good?"

A smile played on his lips, "My dear, I can be better in the future."

Suddenly, she let go of Joshua and asked in somewhat surprise, as if she remembered something, "But how can you be sure it must be a boy? What if it's a girl? Do you prefer boys?"

When she was pregnant, they didn't give the baby a sex test because it would be a surprise to them, whether it was a boy or a girl.

Helplessly, Joshua sighed, took her tender hand, and led her to walk out of the baby's room and go into the room next door.

The door opened. It was still a baby's room of the same size, but all the objects were pink, and it looked like a little girl's room.

"You've… got two?" She was slightly surprised.

"Mm, since I didn't know the sex of the baby, I prepared two rooms." He smiled faintly. "In that way, when they're born, they can use it directly."

Her heart was warm. Joshua thought of everything she had not thought of, and he did what she couldn't do for her.

"Why don't we have another baby later?" she was touched and said, "That way, this baby room will be used."

"No," Joshua's face turned slightly pale, and he refused firmly.

"Er, why?" Hazel looked at him in amazement. Joshua actually said no?

"Hazel, one baby is enough. It would be best if you didn't work hard," said he gravely.

"I'm not going to give birth right now," she, who was moved, said with a smile. "I'm going to have a second child in a couple of years when I get better. Wouldn't it be smoother for me to give birth at that time?"

"No." Joshua looked sullen. He looked as if he wasn't willing to make concessions at all.

During the past months, he had been staying with Hazel, watching her belly grow bigger and bigger, her legs suffering edema because of the baby, and sometimes she'd suddenly wake up at night with cramps. He felt pain whenever he saw this.

He was by Hazel's side all the time, and he could take care of her in the first place, but no matter how well he took care of her, the pain was on her, and he had no way to shift the pain to him, which was his pain buried in the heart. How could he let Hazel go through this again just because he wanted another child?

Moreover, when Hazel gave birth prematurely, he felt like he was about to lose her at any time, so he really didn't want to go through it again.

"You…" Hazel was so moved and amused that she had no idea what to say. Joshua was so stubborn now that she really couldn't change his mind.

"What if…. I want another child?" Hazel gently said to him, like a spoiled girl.

The idea of having a second child came to her for a moment after she saw the second baby's room, but now she really wanted to have another child who was a cherub of their love for Joshua. She loved him so much that she was willing to do it for him.

"We'll adopt one when Randy is a few years older," he said lightly.

She was speechless. She really understood Joshua's resolution! "Alright then, we'll talk about that later."

Anyway, she would persuade Joshua in the future.

Suddenly, Joshua's phone rang. He answered the phone beforeaskingHazel, "There's an important meeting at the Denmark Group. Would you like to come with me?"

"I won't go," she shook her head and refused. "I'm relieved since Denmark Group has you."
