MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Joshua's mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners, amused.

When this little girl comforted him, she always used this kind of tone playing the woman, but he liked it.

He knew clearly that Hazel was not "interrogating" him but wanted to help him.

However, he didn't want to tell Hazel about the organization because it was so tricky that he hadn't even figured out how to deal with it yet. Now that the organization had known his existence, they would definitely often pester him in the future. Telling Hazel about it would only frighten her.

Even if he told Hazel, it must be after he had solved the problem thoroughly.

Now, however, he seemed to be able to tell Hazel something that would make her happy.

"I went to visit Grandpa Sloane today," Joshua whispered.

Hazel's body was slightly stiff, and her heart was somewhat worried. She knew Joshua's attitude. She could not really figure out he went to Grandpa Sloane to embarrass the Sloane family or to reunite with the Sloane family; even the former was more likely...

Taking a deep breath, she forced a smile. "What did you talk about?"

"Talk about the past," Joshua said lightly.

Hazel was somewhat amazed. Did Joshua mean that he no longer rejected the Sloane family?

"By the way, Grandpa Sloane has a gift for you," he said.

"Gift?" She was even more surprised.

"Come with me." He took her hand and took her to the study.

Opening the drawer, he took out a file and handed it to her. Grandpa Sloane insisted on giving it to him before he left.

He explained, "The Sloane family is doing well in entertainment media. Grandpa Sloane heard that you have a film company, so he gave you this gift and wanted to cooperate with Joshua-Hazel Pictures."

Hazel looked at it briefly and was shocked. According to the articles, it looked like a cooperation contract, but it was more like an assistance contract. Joshua-Hazel Pictures could even become a film giant in less than a year or two, with the Sloane family's assistance in resources!

How could cooperation be? As Joshua said, it was obviously a gift!

Hazel subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, no pain, no gain. But she paused before she was about to utter the words of refusal.

Although it was said Grandpa Sloane gave her the gift, it was a gift for Joshua.

Joshua went to visit Grandpa Sloane, but that didn't mean anything. Joshua had relaxed his tense relationship with the Sloane family, but presumably, he had no intention of reuniting with the Sloane family.

So Grandpa Sloane prepared the contract. He knew that even if he gave Joshua something, Joshua would not accept it, so he could only give Joshua this gift in a roundabout way of giving it to her.

"Can... Can I take it?" She looked inquiringly at him.

"Why not?" He said lightly.

She was speechless. This seemed like something fell into her lap, but she did it instead of Joshua if she really accepted it. Didn't that mean Joshua began to accept the Sloane family?

Hazel took a deep breath, intending to figure it out clearly. "Joshua, what's your attitude toward the Sloane family?"

Joshua cocked an eyebrow as his eyes flashed a trace of displeasure.

Before he could open his mouth, she said quickly, "Don't be angry first. When I talk to you about business, I like to call your name because it sounds more serious."

His mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners as he held out his arms to directly wrapped Hazel in his arms.

With a wicked smile on his lips, he whispered, "Honey, I'm not a serious person. How about we go to talk on the bed, huh?"

"...You!" She pushed his chest angrily. She was really serious, okay?!

With a little bite on her lip, he stopped teasing her. He said lightly, "I went to Grandpa Sloane today, and he simply told me about the past. The person my mother had met was not the right guy. After a catastrophe, she thought I was killed, so she had a mental problem."

She felt shocked in her heart. So that's it!

Although Joshua did not elaborate on the past and did not mention anything about the organization, Hazel would not make detailed inquiries about it. Joshua had his own considerations. If there were other secrets, she would wait until he was willing to tell her.

However, since Joshua could talk to Grandpa Sloane so peacefully about the past, that was to say, he no longer rejected the Sloane family and would even reunite with the Sloane family in the future?

"Are you going to accept the Sloane family?" she looked up at him with her little face and asked in surprise.

Joshua pinched her nose gently, intending to amuse her a little. "Isn't that what you want to see?"

She pursed her lips slightly, unhappy. Then she looked at Joshua with a very serious look. "Joshua, I hope your relationship with the Sloane family will get better, but it should be based on your pleasure. I care more about whether you would be wounded compared with your reuniting with the Sloane family."

Joshua's heart felt warm. Hazel was a woman worthy of his company in the whole life. She wanted him to reunite with the Sloane family because she wanted to make him happy. She never put the cart before the horse. How could he not cherish such a good little wife?

"Don't worry," Joshua whispered. "Since the Sloane family didn't abandon me, I'm certainly not a hard-hearted person, but it will take some time."

Hazel breathed a sigh of relief. Joshua completely expressed his attitude now at long last. She nodded approvingly. "I understand. I'll be with you all the time."

Just as Joshua suddenly told her that she was the daughter of the Denmark family, she could not immediately accept the fact either. Even for a long time, she didn't have the consciousness of being the daughter of the Denmark family. So when Mandy suddenly appeared and pretended to be the Denmark family's daughter, she foolishly wondered if it was a coincidence for Joshua to recognize her as the daughter and Joshua had really found the wrong person.

Hence, she understood Joshua's uncertain sense of belonging.

Suddenly, she said nervously, "Can we… go to visit Aunt Stacy then?"

His eyes dimmed slightly. "Yes."

He was going to meet Stacy, the woman who gave birth to him. Stacy was innocent in the whole thing, and her current situation was too worrying.

Hazel looked at him happily, but she soon became a little distressed. "But it seems Aunt Stacy has been transferred..."

"Rest assured, I know the address," he said in a low voice.

"Let's go these two days!" She suggested.

Of course, Joshua would not refuse her request.
