Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Well, I did check it," Joshua told her honestly.

Hazel's heart was a bit uncomfortable.

The fact that she liked Joshua was one thing, but he went behind her back and checked her family's history for generations. This was a completely different matter.

"I thought that only when I was a civil servant would I need my background investigated. " Hazel said, "It was a requirement to be your girlfriend?"

"Hazel, don't misunderstand," Hazel whispered, "The Denmark family was in this city, but you are being taken to the City S. To assure your safety, I had to check at least to see if the Denmark family had any enemies there. How did you get adopted by the Crowe family?"

"My parents are definitely no problem!" Hazel hurried to say.

"Well, they really love you." Joshua's voice was extraordinarily gentle.

"But they do not agree with us being together." Hazel was wounded.

"Don't worry, I will get them to accept me." He whispered.

"Okay." Hazel frowned, and she asked with a little worry, "That..."

If she had the enemy of the Denmark family around her, it would be horrific.

He seemed to know what she wanted to ask. Joshua whispered, "I checked, the relatives of the Crowe family, there are no people related to the enemy of the Denmark family."

Hazel was relieved. There was a knock on the door, she quickly said, "I will talk to my parents and will contact you later."

She hung up the phone, walked out of the bathroom, and came face to face with Harry. He was waiting for her with a serious look, he was prepared to interrogate her.

"Dad, Mom," Hazel felt bad, and she lost her smile. "Why are you so serious..."

"Sit down!" Rachel shouted.

Hazel immediately sat down opposite them.

In their home, Rachel always had the final say. Rachel's personality was tough, and Harry was the type that loved his wife and his children. He usually did not try to compete with Rachel. Even when the two disagreed, they would communicate and work out their problems.

They did not disagree about Joshua, they were unified against him and Hazel being together.

"Be honest, what is going on with you and Joshua?" She had a cold face. "You would go to participate in a surrogate election?! Hazel, why would you dare participate in such a messy activity?"

"That was an accident!" Hazel quickly explained that Ariel registered her, and she only accompanied her to participate in the primary round. As a result, her dress fell off, Joshua helped her to solve the problem and settle the classmate's filth.

She told them everything but purposely did not mention the details of Joshua's flirting with her and misunderstanding that Joshua was a scoundrel.

Although she felt that there was a sweet, gentle love between her and Joshua, she could not tell her parents. They would think that he was deceiving her.

Harry, Rachel, and Ronald were still upset, but their faces did not seem as tense.

"In fact, those comments on the Internet were exaggerated, and they did not know the truth." Hazel said with excitement, "He treats me..."

"Okay, we don't want to listen to how you fell in love with him. It is a love story after you beautify it. You can keep it for yourself." Rachel interrupted her impatiently.

Hazel looked at Rachel with an offended look. She hadn't even started to talk about it, and Rachel saw through her. The situation was becoming very awkward.

Hazel was helpless and had to lay her cards on the table. "Mom, I really like him, I want to be with him!"

"What do you know about love?" Harry said. "You are young, inexperienced, and were persuaded by him. If he really cares about you, how can he make you so sad? You really think we don't know anything?"

Hazel looked at Ronald angrily, and Ronald shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Why are you staring at your brother?" She frowned.

"Your brother said that you were coming home. We went to the train station and waited. Then he called to say that you were not coming home. We may be old, but we knew something must have happened. You changed your mind so quickly. I was afraid that you were unable to leave because of Joshua."

"Yes," Harry said. "He hurt your feelings first, and then he did not respect your decision. Have you not hated this kind of person before?"

Hazel hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, it is not like that, these are just misunderstandings..."

"Okay, we don't want to listen." Rachel waved her hand impatiently.

Hazel was extremely frustrated, and for the first time, there was no way to communicate with her parents, no matter how she explained the situation, they would not listen.

"Do you still talk to your classmates?" Harry suddenly asked.

"There are few with whom I still have contact."

Ronald asked, "What's wrong?"

"You pick some decent and single boys," Harry said, "Then take Hazel on a blind date to meet them."

"I don't want to!" Hazel stood up in annoyance. "I have a boyfriend, why are you sending me on blind dates?"

"You have met so little boys," He said. "When you meet more people, you won't be confused by Joshua. It has been decided. You have to go!"

"You..." Hazel bit her lip, and with a victimized look, she turned around and ran up the stairs.

Ronald wanted to say something, but he finally chased Hazel upstairs.

He caught up with Hazel and whispered, "Hazel, our parents are trying to do something good for you..."

"What? I can clearly see that they want to make the decision all by themselves!" Hazel's eyes were red.

"Our parents can't be blamed. You are treasured by all of us every day, but you are being tormented by Joshua. How can we like him?" Ronald said in a low voice, "Besides, rich families are not easy to enter. Hazel, we are very different. Our parents are distraught that you are being cheated."

Hazel's anger faded more than she thought possible, and she looked at Ronald, whispering softly, "Brother, you really misunderstood Joshua. He really does treat me very well..."

Ronald felt conflicted, his little sister was actually praising other men in front of him.

"Okay, our parents are going to be angry for a few days, you should not mention him again. It will only make your relationship with them worse." Ronald sighed.

"What should I do?" Hazel asked.

"I thought that our parents seemed to have something to say, listen to them. When their anger is gone, we will meet Joshua and talk." Ronald thought about it and said.

"Hey, why do you want to help me suddenly? What are you planning?" Hazel looked at him suspiciously. "My dear brother, don't think that I don't know about you telling our parents my secrets before."
