Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Mom, this was not his idea," Hazel hurriedly explained. "I wanted to wait until graduation to reveal our relationship. It was my own decision to cover it up. He didn't teach me to be bad..."

Joshua's heart was warm, Hazel spoke for him, he was pleased. However, the more she said good things about him, the more the Crowe family glared at him.

"Hazel!" she began with anger in her voice. "Even if it is your own decision, you only had the idea of deceiving your family after meeting him. Isn't that his fault?"

Hazel was persecuted and powerless, she was not irrational.

Joshua wanted to disclose their relationship more than she wanted. She had always refused, and he would follow her. He was innocent, but her parents seemed to be unconcerned with the truth. They just wanted to make Joshua responsible for all of it.

Seeing that Hazel still had something to say, Joshua shook his head.

"Mrs. Crowe, this is indeed something I can't handle," Joshua said. "However, I want to clarify to you, you misunderstood Hazel."

"Oh?" Several people were stunned.

They blame him, but Joshua did not rush to defend himself but actually explained for Hazel?

"You say." Harry looked at him unexpectedly.

"Hazel was completing an internship, and although she is temporarily staying here, she just lived in the guest room. We both did not do anything disgraceful." Joshua calmly explained.

The Crowe family's biggest concern was whether or not Hazel had been taken advantage of by him. They did not want to ask her while he was sitting there. They are embarrassed to ask, and they thought that Hazel really suffered a loss, so they were upset with him. Their anger was eased when Joshua explained.

"Hazel, is this the case?" He softly whispered.

Hazel was now bowing her head, and she was even more embarrassed. The things they had done, Joshua dare not say. If she said anything about him seeing her naked multiple times, she was afraid she would never be able to see him again.

"Yeah..." Hazel nodded in disbelief.

"Fine." Rachel thought she was shy and didn't think much.

"Hazel, go home with us." Harry stood up with an upset face. "We can't change the past, but in the future, you should not have a relationship with him!"

"Dad!" Hazel looked at him with surprise. Her parents were never controlling or disrespectful of her opinions. Why did they insist on this arrogantly?

She hurriedly said, "You don't understand Joshua, he actually..."

"Enough!" Harry's face is even more upset, "Hazel, we are not in the same world with him! You choose him, you don't want us?"

"Yes, Hazel, between him and us, who do you choose?" He said with a soft echo.

Hazel's face turned pale.

She had thought that her parents would disagree with her and Joshua being together, but she did not think that they would use this method to force her.

Joshua looked angry.

It is okay for people to hate him, but they couldn't treat Hazel like this.

"Mr. Crowe, you are irreplaceable in Hazel's mind." He said in a deep voice, "if you force her in this way, she will be sad."

Hazel's eyes were covered with a hazy mist, and the bottom of his heart was even more distressed.

Joshua knew the reason that her parents upset her like this? Whether she chooses Joshua or her parents, they were all important to her. Forcing her to choose really made her sad.

"Why doesn't Joshua choose Hazel?" Ronald, who had never spoken, suddenly opened his mouth. "If you gave up Hazel, she wouldn't have to be embarrassed."

"Brother!" Hazel looked at him with grief and indignation. Her parents were acting like this. Why did Ronald have to be the same? Why did they force her like this?

"I will never give up, Hazel." He sank his voice.

"Then you are treating Hazel just like this, but you would rather let her be embarrassed, wouldn't you?" Ronald said in a deep voice.

Joshua lifted his eyebrows slightly. If Hazel's parents hate him, then Ronald would be hostile to him.

"I think you can accept me. That's what Hazel wants." Joshua was not humble and not high-minded, and he said, "As the brother who knows Hazel best, you should understand her feelings."

Ronald did not know how to reply. If he denied her feelings, does he mean that he doesn't understand Hazel at all?

He didn't like Joshua very much, he hated him before he even met him.

Hazel grew up being protected by him, but her sister was abducted by Joshua. She was so sad, and Ronald could not forgive him.

"I know you misunderstood me," Joshua said calmly. "If you want to take Hazel away, I respect your decision, I think you have a lot of things to talk about. But I will not give up on her, never. "

His voice was so earnest that the family believed in him. If he can say it, he can do it.

"Joshua..." Hazel shouted out his name painfully, and her eyes were full of discontent.

"Hazel, dear," Joshua said gently, "I know that your family members are significant to you. If you really do something to hurt them, you will feel sorry and blame yourself later. Go home with them. Let's be patient, and we will find a way to be together.

"Okay." Hazel nodded obediently, but she felt even sadder.

If she refused her parents, their parents would be sad, but if she left like this, she and Joshua would be sad too. But in order not to embarrass her, Joshua would rather be sad.

"I will try to convince my family to accept you!" Hazel said firmly.

Harry's face looked even worse, they were there while Hazel stood by Joshua.

What Joshua said was really what Hazel believed. She was a lovely obedient girl, but to do things against her parents?

What kind of magic did he give to Hazel?

"Go." Rachel softly said, grabbing Hazel's wrist.

They walked out of Denmark Residence, and the servant brought Hazel's luggage to them.

The driver stopped the car in front of them. Rachel said unhappily, "No, we'll call the taxi ourselves."

"We can't fit in one car," Hazel suggested. "This is a big car. Let's take this one."

"Hazel!" Rachel clenched her teeth.
