MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"How on earth did you succeed?" She stared at him with a look of adoration in her bright eyes.

As their daughter, she couldn't persuade them. But he made it happen in such a short time. How could she not be curious?

"I didn't do anything," he said, his eyes soft. "Mom and dad really love you very much. That was why I was able to convince them."

Her heart was soft. He did not elaborate, but she understood that her parents were willing to move because they loved her.

"Honey, rest assured," he said, gently holding her in his arms. "I'll take care of mom and dad with you."

"... Mm." She felt amused and touched. Joshua seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking, and his every word left her heart moved.

"We've handled the matter here. Let's go back to the Imperial Capital," he spoke quietly.

This was the happiest time of his life to be with Hazel for these days.

But he was not satisfied.

His happiness with Hazel just began. He wanted it to last forever instead of a moment's pleasure.

If he wanted to stay with Hazel, he would have to face the problems he would face sooner or later.

He heard from Simon that Ted had left the organization. Although no one knew about his whereabouts, his purpose was undoubtedly Country Z.

That was why Joshua was so eager to take Hazel's family to the Imperial Capital. City S was too far away, and if something bad happened to Hazel's family, he wouldn't be able to stop it or handle it. If Hazel's family were all at Imperial Capital, they would be under the umbrella of Denmark Group, and even the organization couldn't get a chance to do anything to it.

Some things should have a result.

"Okay," Hazel agreed.

***

Joshua was very efficient. Soon, he had Harry and Rachel transferred.

Before Rachel recovered, she was transferred to the Imperial Capital. As long as she got well, she could go straight to work. Besides, Joshua hired Harry to a hospital affiliated with Denmark Group.

Harry was a little reluctant at first, but when he saw that Denmark Group's hospital had the most advanced treatment equipment and a better research institute, he agreed immediately. Even after that, he spent a lot of time in the hospital, as if he had been bewitched.

However, they did not live at the Denmark Residence. According to their thoughts, Joshua found them a house in the neighborhood near the Denmark Residence so that Hazel could visit them at any time.

This arrangement made the Crowe family very satisfied. Because the Crowe family always felt that they could earn their living. Even if Hazel were rich, they wouldn't want her to keep them. What Joshua did now was the greatest respect to them.

When she came back to Denmark Residence, Hazel felt like she had had a long vacation. Now she actually had a sense of belonging to Denmark Residence. She had thought she was just a guest here before, but she began to regard it as her home unconsciously.

She went to have a great warm bath, and when she came out of the bathroom, she found Joshua was packing.

"You're going out?" she asked blankly.

"Mm, there's an accident, and I'm going on a business trip," he replied.

"When?"

"Tomorrow."

"So soon?" she was surprised.

"Yes, it's urgent," he explained.

"How long will it take?" She frowned.

He stopped packing and said calmly, "Don't worry. I'll be back soon. A week or so."

"So long?" Her full lips were pouted slightly. Come to think of it, she didn't seem to have been away from Joshua that long.

In the past, he always tried to shorten the travel time as much as possible. If it was too long, he would take her with him, like that trip to Country F.

Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "I can accompany you to go, can't I?"

With that, she opened the wardrobe and prepared to pack up.

Just then, Joshua stopped her, his eyes dark.

If it were an ordinary business trip, he would take Hazel with him even if she didn't suggest.

But this was not an ordinary business trip.

The Imperial Capital was safe enough. If Ted wanted to do something to him, there was no chance at all. That was why he planned to use himself as bait to divert the danger so that whatever Ted wanted to do to him, he could keep Hazel safe.

"No, Denmark Group still needs you to be around," Joshua rejected peacefully. "You are the real owner of Denmark Group now. You should show up at Denmark Group more often and get the directors to know your significance."

She pouted with reluctance. Denmark Group was managed by Joshua, given their relationship, who dared to defy her? It was clear that Joshua didn't want her to go with him.

"Are you so loath to part with me?" Joshua's mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners while his eyes flashed with a tease.

Hazel's face turned red with shyness. If it were in the past, she would have said she wasn't loath to part with him and then shouted that she wouldn't go.

But after being 'taught' by him for so long, she was not the little girl who would easily be shy. Her eyes flashed with slyness. The next moment, she got close to Joshua, and her soft little hand vaguely rubbed his chest.

"Yes, I am." She looked up at him, her eyes full of charm in the shallow smile.

In an instant, he felt hot. His big hands went straight around her waist and wrapped her tightly in his arms.

"Honey, don't seduce me," he said in a husky voice.

During the past few days, when he stayed at the Crowe family's house, with Hazel's parents around, he didn't dare do anything to Hazel to maintain his image as a good son-in-law.

After all, if his parents-in-law accidentally caught him kissing their baby girl, repeatedly unlocking various positions, it would instantly ruin their good impression of him or even directly regard him as a playboy who misled their darling baby.

"I am seducing you" There was somewhat charm and flirtation in her voice as her fingers fell on his waist. With a snap, she unbuckled his belt of her own accord.

When they were in City S, Joshua wasn't the only one who suppressed sexuality.

The flame of sexual desire that had been repressed filled Joshua's body Instantly. He directly tore off her bathrobe, picked her up, and threw her on the soft bed...

There was a romantic and erotic scene in the bedroom.

Joshua kept busy for almost the whole night as if he wanted to make Hazel very full before his business trip. He didn't let her go until she nearly passed out from exhaustion.

When Hazel woke up, it was in the morning. She habitually reached out her hand to fumble, but what she touched this time was an empty bed without Joshua.
