Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Being in love was the only reason that Ronald could have to make Hazel so indecisive.

Hazel was outgoing and free. As long as nobody bothered her, she did not care. However, if you offended her, she would fight back; unless she was falling in love.

His lovely sister had a man that she loved?

Ronald had mixed emotions.

If the man makes Hazel feel so sad, he would not forgive her.

"No. I didn't…I didn't fall in love!" Hazel denied that immediately. "Ronald, I am so well-behaved. How would I even have time to fall in love before graduation?"

Joshua heard what she said. He raised his eyebrows unhappily, he was feeling depressed. She still would not tell her family about him. Was he an unspeakable presence?

Ronald knew Hazel well, and it was obvious that she was lying.

His studies were done, and he had originally planned to stay overseas for several years to build a career. Hazel was acting so strangely that he decided to return home, but he did not intend to tell her that until he knew exactly when he would be there.

"That's all right," Ronald replied. "I'm sure that you are okay now. I will tell our parents later and so that they are not worried."

"Thanks, Ronald. You are my best brother." Hazel said happily.

Joshua was jealous. She had never spoken to him in such a cute tone and expression.

Hazel hung up the phone and noticed that Joshua was looking at her.

"Why are you staring at me?" She was confused.

"What have you said to your brother?" Joshua asked her.

"Nothing important," Hazel replied. "I have explained to my brother, and he will talk to our parents later."

Joshua frowned. The Crowe Family was so good to Hazel. Would her brother so easily be convinced that Hazel was fine?

It would not be that easy.

"I'll have some rest first," Hazel said.

"Fine." Joshua replied gently, "I will walk you back to your room."

Hazel did not refuse.

In the hospital, Vanessa received a phone call from a blocked number. Vanessa was not surprised and answered the call.

"What are you call for? Do you want the others to discover that they have a connection?" Vanessa was irritated. The call was from no other than Sam Anderson.

"What are you so nervous about? Do you think that Joshua would not think of that? He just has no evidence. Moreover, I have something important to tell you." Sam replied, "Joshua has picked up a person today. Does the man have anything to do with you?"

"Who is he?" Vanessa asked him in a puzzled voice.

"His name is Wade Davis, he is a gambler and thief."

"Are you kidding me? How would I know such kind of person?" Vanessa replied angrily.

"You'd better do not know him. Joshua seemed to be really interested in him. I guess he may know something about you. By the way, have you really decided to abort your child? After all, it is also Joshua's child."

Vanessa was nervous. Did Sam Anderson infer something?

Nobody knew that the baby she had was not Joshua's, not even her parents. Sam could not know.

She had found an excuse to send her parents away then she secretly contacted a doctor to help her with the abortion.

It was the best way. After that, no matter how Joshua justified himself, he would never be able to explain that he was not the father of the child. She would not admit anything if Sam Anderson asked.

"None of your business," Vanessa said coldly. "He treated me bad first, and I will not show kindness if a child could make him lose all his standing and reputation. It could not be more worthwhile!"

Sam Anderson sneered, "It's true that the woman's heart is the cruelest!"

"Anything else?" Vanessa was impatient.

"No."

So, she hung up the phone and put her hands on her stomach. Her eyes became extraordinarily cold, "Baby, it's not that I do not want you, but why are you not the baby of Joshua? Help mom this time."

Hazel was having breakfast with Joshua; suddenly, they heard a violent pounding on the door of the gate.

"What's up?" Joshua asked surprisingly.

The servant came up and explained, "Sir, a lot of journalists were outside saying that they want to interview Miss Hazel!"

Hazel was unable to comprehend what was happening.

"I see. Tell them to go to the hospital first. I will explain it all there." Joshua instructed the servant calmly.

The servant agreed and went to tell the journalists. Hazel was more confused.

He looked at Hazel and said calmly, "I think Vanessa has already had the abortion."

"Then what should we do now?" Hazel was nervous.

"Rest assured, Hazel. You stay at home; I will deal with it. "Joshua said, "It is time to wrap things up!"

Hazel had no appetite to finish her breakfast. She frowned, "Joshua, I'll come with you. I am the one they are looking for. I will not hide here."

Joshua sighed, "Hazel, the journalists are so mean."

"It's okay," said Hazel. "It's not the first time I have been treated like that. Besides, you are there to back me up."

"All right." Joshua smiled softly. She relied on him so much, how could he decline her?

After breakfast, they went to the hospital where Vanessa was.

The journalists were waiting outside the door of Vanessa's ward. Although the door was closed, people still could hear her crying.

"Here comes Mr. Denmark." Someone shouted that, and everyone quickly ran in the direction of Joshua.

The door of the ward was also open, Garry Young heard Joshua's name and walked out furiously. The journalists made for him.

Garry shouted angrily, "Joshua Denmark, are you satisfied now? Vanessa lost her child. It was also yours! You even dare to bring this woman here! What do you want to do? It was because of this woman that Vanesa lost her child. What a murderer! I will call the police! She has to go to jail for this!"

Hazel did not expect that Garry Young would be so excited at the sight of her.

The journalists all began to take pictures of Hazel.

Joshua stepped forward and stood in front of Hazel. He said calmly, "Mr. Young, I am here to clear things up with you. However, I suggest that we'd better talk about them privately."

"Joshua, are you afraid now?" Garry Young was furious. "Privately? Do not even think about it! I want you to be ruined in front of the media today!"
