MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

She opened her eyes wide and suddenly realized what she was doing.

Her cheeks flushed with shame, and she struggled to escape, but she was caught tightly by him.

She was very shy and exasperated. She did not expect that she would be kissed back by him because she originally wanted to bite him.

At the end of the long kiss, she leaned aggrieved against his chest, so angry that she kept poking him with her finger. "You always bully me, big villain..."

His little wife's cute words and acting like a spoiled child made his whole heart soft. Hazel was probably the drug he would never be able to resist or quit.

"Hazel..." He kissed her on the forehead slightly and explained in a low voice, "I just don't want to alienate you from mom and dad because of me."

She froze in a flash.

She understood what Joshua meant. The reason why Rachel didn't tell her that she was injured was more or less that Hazel was already married to Joshua, except that she didn't want Hazel to be worried about her. From the point of view of the Crowe family, Hazel would spend the rest of her life with Joshua. If the Crowe family bothered her too much, it might affect the relationship between Hazel and Joshua.

Because Joshua thought of this, he pleased her parents to reassure them.

Hazel's heart was warm. It turned out that Joshua had done all this for her.

"By the way, I saw your aunt and uncle when I came in," he said in a deep voice. "What were they doing here?"

"They came to be matchmakers," Hazel said, extremely speechless. "They said they found me a handsome, rich man."

In an instant, Joshua's eyes went cold. How dare they steal his wife? They were really not afraid of death! He clearly remembered that Matt's family wanted to introduce Hazel to a boyfriend during the Christmas season.

Sensing a surge of anger coming from Joshua, Hazel hurried to speak, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to say yes. My uncle's family are a little weird and have a wicked little idea, but they can't do anything to me."

With Rachel and Harry doting on her, she would never end up being bullied by Matt's family. Joshua's brows relaxed slightly at the thought of this.

"Do you really not need me to handle it?" he whispered.

"Don't worry, I can handle it myself, or if I can't handle it, it won't be late for you to make a move," Hazel said. "He's my uncle, after all. If you go too far, I'm afraid you'll upset my dad."

Since Hazel said that, Joshua reluctantly agreed.

At night, Ronald came and asked them to leave and rest. Hazel planned to spend the night at the hospital, but neither the Crowe family nor Joshua wanted her to be too tired.

In the end, Hazel agreed to leave to rest with Joshua in the face of all the people's opposition.

"Are you two going to stay in a hotel or go home?" Ronald asked.

Immediately after he said this, everyone looked at Joshua.

After all, in their opinion, Joshua, who had been living a rich life, might not be able to get used to living in their house and might even dislike their humble house.

"Go home," Knowing what they were worried about, Joshua said without hesitation.

"Right, how can I go to stay in a hotel instead of going home?!" Hazel said, very confused.

"Our house is kind of humble and not that big," Harry said, a little embarrassed. "Also, Hazel has only a small bed in her room, so I'm afraid it can't hold two people..."

"Never mind, it can hold me." Joshua's mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners. He had slept on it before.

Hazel knew what he was hinting at, and her cheeks turned red.

Now that Joshua said that, the Crowe family didn't persuade him anymore.

Then Harry took Joshua and Hazel home. Ronald had moved out of the Crowe family now. However, it seemed he had expected they would come as he had the whole house cleaned.

Looking at the clean house, Harry was somewhat relieved.

Seeing Joshua didn't show any dislike, Harry was completely reassured.

"Well, Joshua, our house is ordinary, but you can get used to it," said Harry, looking at the watch with somewhat a surprise. "It's so late. Would you like some night snacks? Hazel, the takeaway you ordered during the Christmas season was pretty delicious. Where did you order it? You can order it again."

"..." Hazel looked awkward at Joshua. The takeaway wasn't a real takeaway, but was food cooked by Joshua. But the lie had been told, so it wouldn't be good for her to explain it now.

If her parents knew that Joshua hid in her room at Christmas and slept with her all night, their impression of Joshua would likely turn negative.

"It was so long ago that I forgot..." Hazel had no choice but lied.

"I'll cook." Joshua got up from the sofa.

"Ah, don't bother, you are a guest..." Harry hurried to refuse, but before he could finish the sentence, he saw Joshua already coming to the kitchen door.

Harry felt a little surprised. It didn't seem he had told Joshua that it was the kitchen, did he? But how did he feel that Joshua had known it beforehand?

Joshua suddenly stopped. He turned around and said earnestly, "Dad, I'm not a guest. Don't be too polite to me."

Harry knew he had said something wrong, so he was somewhat embarrassed. After all, if he said Joshua was a guest, didn't he mean Hazel was also a guest?

For Harry and Rachel, even if Hazel was married, she was still their daughter and a family member.

"Dad, let him cook. You know he's a good cook." Hazel smiled. She knew Harry's remark was just a slip of the tongue, so she didn't care.

Harry nodded. Soon, Joshua had the food ready and packed some of it in a specially insulated lunchbox.

Looking at the insulated lunch box Joshua handed to him, Harry froze. "This is..."

"Dad, you are on night duty tonight, and Ronald will watch for mom. You should eat some food to have enough strength," Joshua whispered.

"Yeah, take it with you." Hazel chimed in.

In the end, Harry didn't refuse, but he was clearly more satisfied with Joshua.

After seeing Harry off, Hazel put her arms around Joshua's neck, giggling. "Your father-in-law likes you. I'm sure he won't treat you as a guest anymore. Are you happy?"
