Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Hazel's nose hurt, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Joshua's waist. His arms were always so warm and reassuring.

Joshua looked a little stunned. He gently embraced Hazel and whispered, "Hazel, what happened?"

She suddenly returned to her thoughts. If she told Joshua, would she be able to make him misunderstand that she was wronged? She took a deep breath, looked up, and made a face at him. "I just want to hug you."

Joshua lifted his eyebrows. If he was right, Hazel was distraught. But she was pretending that everything was okay, which made him even more worried.

"I will let go!" Hazel let go of him and prepared to go back to the room.

Joshua suddenly caught her wrist. "Hazel, are you going to run after flirting?"

"Can't I?" Hazel blinked. "You don't forget the rules."

Joshua's face was a little grim that she actually mentioned the rules again. But fortunately, there were only two months until her graduation, as long as she got the diploma, he would take Hazel to the Civil Affairs Bureau to be married.

"As long as we don't violate the rules, we can still do a lot of things. Don't you think?" Joshua stepped forward and lifted his lips.

"You, what do you want to do?" The only thing that Hazel could feel was her heart pounding. She could not help but step back. What was going on? She looked at Joshua and wondered how things actually developed in an unspeakable direction?

"You..." Joshua smiled.

Hazel's cheeks suddenly became red. Her feet were unstable, and she leaned on the wall next to her.

Joshua's arm reached out to the wall and looked at her as if she was a frightened little bunny. He couldn't help but laugh. "...What do you say?"

Hazel was mad at him, and for a long time, Joshua was trying to tease her?

"What do you think I want to say?" Joshua smiled. "And... why do you seem to be disappointed?"

"I am not." Hazel pushed him away in annoyance. "You go away!"

Seeing that Hazel was shy and ready to run, Joshua suddenly hugged her from behind.

The warm embrace had a heart-warming atmosphere, and Hazel was tempted but should standstill.

"Hazel," Joshua leaned over her ear and whispered, "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Hazel's body trembled a little, was Joshua referring to the Flores family's business? He knew that the Flores family went to her company today to make trouble, and Jaxson saved them. He certainly knew that the Flores family had met her.

However, why didn't he ask directly but wanted her to take the initiative to say it? Hazel looked stunned and sought-after, how could she say anything? Instead of doing this, it is better to say nothing.

"What about you?" She looked back at him. "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Joshua lifted his eyebrows, what does she want to know?

"I just talked casually with Theresa!" Not waiting for him to answer, Hazel said first. She did not have the courage to have a showdown with Joshua. She went on to say, "I am exhausted, I think I need to go have a rest."

Seeing Hazel yawn, Joshua gently kissed her forehead. "Well, go get a rest."

Hazel turned around and went to the room. Looking at her back, the darkness of Joshua's eyes was a little deeper.

In the house temporarily rented by the Flores family, Lanny and Caroline had been happily packing things. As long as the money, cars, and houses promised by Joshua arrived, they were ready to leave the city.

Henry knew their plans. He didn't say much, but he left with some unpleasantness and went to a bar nearby.

He ordered a glass of wine and smiled at the woman next to him. She was there waiting for him.

"Hey, Miss Wilson." Henry greeted her.

Mandy looked at him and nodded. She had a pair of earphones in, and Henry could hear Susan's voice. "You ask him, are they really going to leave?"

"My parents really want to go," Henry said with a scornful voice. "They went originally for money. Now that they have so much money and they have been so happy to forget everything!"

"But money will be spent," Mandy said with a deep meaning, "If you leave now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to ask for money next time."

Henry nodded. "You are right. Then what do you mean, should I ask more?"

"Even if you want more, where is there a big money tree?" Mandy chuckled.

Henry's eyes suddenly became very bright, and there was a greedy light inside. "The Denmark Group... there should be a lot of money?"

"That cannot be measured by money." Mandy said, "Don't say the Denmark Group, as long as you keep asking him for help, you will have a lot of money that you cannot spend in the future! You are really willing to give up like this?"

Henry's eyes flashed greedy light, and he said something unwillingly, "What if I do not give up? Joshua simply will not see us!"

"If he won't see you, you can go see him!" Mandy said.

"If we could see Joshua, wouldn't we have done it by now?" Henry looked at her with sarcasm.

They made trouble in the orphanage, but Joshua did not show up at all. They wanted to go to the Denmark Group, but they were not close, and they were evicted by security guards. To see Joshua was even harder than going to Heaven.

"You can't, but Hazel can always." Mandy picked up the glass in front of him and shook it gently.

"What do you mean... let Hazel help?" Henry's eyes lit up.

"If she helped to arrange it, it would be easy for you to meet Joshua." Mandy took a sip of wine.

"But if she doesn't want to?" he couldn't help but ask. After all, Hazel's attitude towards them was still very negative.

"If she doesn't want to, you can still create trouble for her," Mandy sneered.

"As long as you dare to make trouble, do you think that Joshua will not appear?"

"I understand," Henry drank his wine. He said eagerly, "I will go home now and convince my parents!"

After that, Henry quickly left the bar. Mandy's eyes flashed with disgust as she watched him walk away.

"Luna, it has been solved." She whispered.

"I know," Susan said in her ear. "The money has already transferred to your account. Do it well, and I will never treat you badly!"

Hazel woke up early to a knock on her door. She opened it slowly and saw Theresa standing outside the door, apologetically saying, "Sorry, Hazel, I hate to bother you so early."
