MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"By the way," Hazel's eyes flickered, "you really don't want to find your parents?"

Joshua slightly paused. The next moment, he gently tucked her hair behind her ear. "Why do you suddenly ask?"

In fact, Hazel always knew his attitude. She hadn't asked this question for a long time.

She frowned slightly. "I just thought that you wouldn't have any elders at our wedding…."

"Don't worry, mom and dad have a lot of real friends." He thought she was worried about this and said quietly, "Besides, Grandpa Anderson and Isaac's parents are actually quite happy to be my elders, which will not be gossiped about."

She looked at him and sighed helplessly. "Joshua, you know, I really hope you can find your parents... Don't evade this issue. Let's have a good talk, shall we? Are you really not curious? Who are they? Where are you from? And why did they leave you, perhaps because they had to, like my parents and me?"

Joshua's eyes darkened slightly, and he put his arms around her waist, making her face him, and sat her in his arms.

She exclaimed before she said angrily, "I said I didn't want to…here. And don't try to evade the issue in this way!"

"I'm not the one evading it," he said, his eyes a little deeper. "My cute little wife, you seem to have forgotten what you should address me as."

She was sad. She was really more used to calling him by his last name, okay? It was not a habit she could break in a day or two, but he seemed to remember it every time and punished her in this way.

No, she couldn't compromise this time.

"You answer my question first!" She clenched her teeth.

He smiled slightly, and the next moment his hands began to move over her.

"Honey," he whispered in her ear as he buried his head in her neck, "I have you now. I am very satisfied and happy. As for my family members, I don't need the role of biological parents. If… you think we lack family members, how about we make one, huh?"

"You...!" She glared at him in exasperation, but the next moment, his lips pressed against hers firmly.

Her body began to burn under his teasing, but she kept the last consciousness.

Sure enough, Joshua had been evading and had never thought about finding his biological parents. Even if she took him to Stacy, she wouldn't likely make him change his mind, and he wouldn't do a DNA test.

If so, she would have to figure out another way to get him to do the DNA test first.

Nonetheless, she had to keep it from him. But what should she do? Pull out his hair?

As Hazel stared at Joshua's hair, she hesitated. Suddenly, she felt as if she were being electrocuted. She couldn't resist screaming in surprise as her nails dug into his back!

After sex, she looked at him unhappily. Very well, it ended with her being "eaten" again.

"If you do that again, I won't come here anymore," she said angrily. But when she said that, she didn't have much strength, so her voice sounded like she was a spoiled girl.

Joshua kissed her lovingly on the lips. "Honey, you can't do this to me. I won't do so until you agree, okay?"

She was still a little muddle-headed and said, "Mm."

"Come on, let me clean you." He picked her up.

"Don't..." She pushed him away. "I'll do it myself!"

"You have the strength?" He chuckled.

"Of course!" She gritted her teeth. "If I allow you to clean me, I'll really have no strength! When the time comes, I'll tell my parents you don't care for me, they might hate you again!"

He smiled noncommittally.

However, he still carried her into the bathroom. After that, he left Hazel alone in the bathroom.

Hazel looked at the closed door with a complicated face. The next moment, she carefully removed the tiny piece of skin from her fingertip and placed it in a small bag.

Soon enough, her strength was almost restored. She and Joshua left in the elevator.

When they got to the lobby on the first floor, Joshua went to get the car. Hazel and Crystal waited for him at the door.

"Give this to Aunt Katherine," Hazel handed the bag to Crystal and whispered.

"This is...?" Crystal was a little puzzled.

"Just tell her it's what she wants, and she'll understand," Hazel explained.

"Okay." Crystal agreed.

The next day, Joshua took time off to go to the nursing home with Hazel.

Crystal had given the skin to Katherine, who had taken it to do a DNA test. However, it would take 24 hours to know the accurate results.

The car stopped at the entrance to the nursing home, and Joshua got off with a slight frown.

"The elder you want to visit," Joshua said faintly, "is she ill?"

"Well, maybe she has something wrong with her," Hazel whispered as she pointed to her head. "I think she's pathetic, so I want to talk to her for a while. When you see her, don't do anything to upset her."

Joshua's brow grew more furrowed, but he finally nodded.

Hazel didn't expect they would be stopped as soon as they reached the lobby.

"Sorry, you can't visit her," said the headmaster firmly.

"Why?" Hazel asked in amazement. "But I was here the other day?"

"Only certain visitors can visit the patient who you want to visit." Knowing that Hazel had come here before, the head nurse patiently explained, "It was because the person bringing you here was General Sanchez that you could visit her last time. If you want to visit her again, you have to get the approval of General Sanchez or the family of the patient."

Hazel understood instantly. She didn't expect Stacy to be so heavily protected. But she had already brought Joshua here, and she couldn't just walk away.

"Well, I'll call Aunt Katherine. Is that okay?" She consulted with the head nurse.

"Of course." The head nurse compromised.

Hazel called Katherine and explained the situation briefly, but she forgot to tell her that she came with Joshua.

When Katherine heard that, she asked the head nurse to let her in.

Joshua watched quietly, with deep eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

Led by the head nurse, Hazel and Joshua came to Stacy's room.
