Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Hazel thought that if Ronald had any kind of accident, then Mrs. Kim would have no reason to pursue anything further, and the real murderer would have peace of mind. The real murderer might even take the risk of taking Ronald out.

"Hazel, don't worry." Joshua whispered, "I have already warned the police and let them pay more attention to your brother's safety, and also arranged my men to secretly protect him. If someone really wants to do it, he will fall into our hands."

Hazel breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Joshua had thought of everything, and with his promise, Ronald's safety was guaranteed.

"And, you remember what time to be here for dinner?" She whispered.

"Yes, seven." Joshua smiled and promised again.

****

At seven o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang. Joshua arrived on time, Hazel was delighted.

"I am going to open the door!" She yelled.

Watching her rush by like a gust of wind to the door, Harry and Rachel, who was preparing dinner, had some inexplicable feelings. But it was a special situation, and they could not say anything.

Hazel opened the door and saw Joshua standing outside the door with a gift in his hand.

"Come in." She took the gift from his hand. "What did you bring?"

"Coffee," Joshua whispered.

Joshua had done his research and found out that both Harry and Rachel liked coffee very much.

"It's a good gift." Hazel looked at the coffee in her hand and shouted at

Harry and Rachel, "Mom, Dad, Joshua brought you coffee."

Harry and Rachel looked at the two with some hesitation. Joshua took Hazel's hand intimately, and Hazel allowed him.

"See coffee! Look!" Hazel took the coffee in front of them.

"A gift..." Rachel said she wanted to refuse it immediately, but when her eyes fell on the coffee, she couldn't help but sigh, "This is... Blue Mountain Coffee?"

Harry's face also changed, and he carefully took the coffee. He then said,

"This aroma...is much thicker than the ordinary blue mountain coffee."

"Well," Joshua said faintly, "This is made from coffee beans grown above the altitude of 2,100 meters. I don't know too much about coffee. I heard Hazel said that you are both good at this, so I think this coffee found the true masters."

Harry shook his hand and almost threw the coffee. Rachel and Harry couldn't speak. Harry took a deep breath and pushed the coffee back, "No, it's too expensive. We can't accept it."

"It's not about the price. It's about Joshua's thoughtfulness. You should accept it." Hazel advised.

Seeing the hesitant look of her parents, Hazel sighed, "Hey guys, what's the matter with you? It's just coffee, some kind of drink, right? It's nothing to Joshua."

Hazel said with a smile, "Check his Maybach parked outside. That's a limited edition. Are you disappointed because he did not give you guys a villa, so you won't make the coffee?"

"Hazel is right." Joshua smiled lightly.

Her parents could not say anything anymore...

"Girls will be girls..." Rachel was very unhappy, Hazel took Joshua's side, with no sign of backing down.

"Mr. and Mrs. Crowe," as if he knew what the two were worried about, Joshua said faintly, "This is just a gift from a younger generation to the two elders. It doesn't mean anything."

Rachel was still hesitant, and Harry sighed, "If that's the case, then yeah, thank you, I'll take it."

"Harry!" Rachel looked at him with awkwardness and couldn't help but whisper, "We can't accept..."

"I know what you mean." Harry whispered, "It's not about the price or what kind of gift it is. You are afraid that if we accept it, it will look like we have accepted Joshua. But look, Hazel's mind is all on Joshua. What else can we do?"

Rachel was utterly speechless as she agreed to accept the gift.

After a little more conversation, they sat down at the table. Hazel naturally sat next to Joshua.

"Hazel, come and sit here." Rachel pointed to the chair next to her.

"No need, Mom, I can sit here." Hazel waved her hand.

Rachel suddenly wanted to send her to her room. How could she act so horny in front of her parents?

"Joshua, try my mother's cooking, it's great!" Hazel said proudly.

Rachel's anger dissipated. Harry looked at the two and said, "It's a pity that Hazel knows nothing about cooking. Rachel and I had worried about it before. I assume that no one would want to marry her."

"It doesn't matter, Joshua has a chef at home." Hazel calmly answered to the pecking, "Moreover, he wouldn't mind if I only do the eating."

Hazel smiled and looked at Joshua.

"Yeah." He nodded softly, "She is right."

Harry was flabbergasted. It looked like their daughter had really grown up. And what's more, Hazel sounded as if she was about to marry Joshua.

"What if the home chef is not available?" Harry put on a poker face.

"That's fine." Joshua faintly smiled, "I know a little about cooking. Hazel won't get hungry."

Rachel almost choked, the two of them were utterly shocked. They originally wanted to let Joshua see Hazel's defects, but he actually... sounded like a house-husband, and he spoiled Hazel so much. Joshua was much harder to cope with than they thought.

Besides, there were more important issues to be dealt with. Rachel asked nervously, "Joshua, did you check on the situation at the hospital?"

Joshua frowned at the situation, Hazel's parents were still alienated from him. He would have to take it slow, they had asked him to have dinner, which did not represent anything, but he still held on to hope.

He sighed, "It has been checked. Eddy's death was due to a sudden heart attack."

"Did he have heart disease?" Harry asked nervously.

"Yeah." Joshua nodded.

Harry and Rachel suddenly felt a little cold.

Eddy died of a heart attack, and Ronald probably couldn't get the charges dropped.

According to Kim's family's words in the police station, they would definitely find a way to put his death on Ronald. They would say that the fight with Ronald caused a heart attack.
