MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"Joshua Denmark!" she swore at him, clenching her teeth. "How can you play dumb? You are my husband, and we have been married for nearly half a year! Didn't you want me to get a divorce? Now I agree! Let's go, let's get a divorce now!"

"Wait," he spoke, confused. "Hazel, isn't your husband, Simon? Also, my name is Sloane, not Denmark."

"You... What the hell are you talking about?" She froze. She looked at Joshua in disbelief. Why couldn't she understand his words?

"Hazel, I think there's been a misunderstanding between us," he said seriously. "I have to tell you something. I was once shot in the head. When I woke up, I forgot what had happened."

Joshua loses his memory?! Hazel felt her mind go blank.

No wonder Joshua did those inexplicable things... It turned out he didn't remember her at all?

Hazel felt so sad that she was unable to speak.

Joshua gently opened his arms and took her in his arms.

Looking at her dazed, disappointed expression, he felt very sorry.

He didn't want to see Hazel like this. At this moment, he suddenly hated himself. Why did he lose his memory? Why did he forget her?

He whispered in her ear, "Hazel, did I forget something very important? Can you tell me little by little?"

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she grabbed his suit and sobbed.

"Don't cry, darling." He was in a panic.

"Let me hug you for a while..." she said in a choked voice as her arms were tightly wrapped around his waist. "Joshua, I miss you so much…."

Joshua stiffened slightly. He let her hug him, and her tears soak his shirt.

It was only when she had cried enough that Joshua bent his head to kiss her on the cheek.

"Won't cry?" he asked softly.

"Mm." She nodded.

"Then..." He was fidgeting, "Can we not divorce?"

With tears in her eyes, Hazel couldn't help sniggering.

Seeing this scene, Joshua felt more uneasy. He said in a deep tone. "Even if you want a divorce, I won't sign..."

Hazel said in a huff. "I'm not divorcing you."

She brought Joshua to the divorce law office in a fit of pique. How could she really want to divorce him?

They had been through so much together, and they married with difficulty. How could she give up their marriage so easily?

If she really wanted to give up, she wouldn't even be able to kidnap Joshua.

"Let's get in first." Hazel took Joshua back into the car. Either way, some misunderstandings must be cleared up, and some problems also should be solved.

"You said your surname was Sloane, is it Aunt Stacy's surname?" Hazel asked eagerly, "Is Aunt Stacy OK? When she fell off the cliff with you, we searched for both of you for a long time, but we found nothing."

When Joshua woke up, Ted wanted to ask Joshua to use his last name, but Joshua felt something was wrong for some reason. He vaguely realized that it seemed his surname wasn't King. Besides, he didn't like this surname, so he chose Stacy's surname.

Ted was very angry at the time, but with Joshua's stubborn temper, Joshua didn't obey him. In the end, Ted gave in.

"Don't worry, she's fine." Joshua whispered, "She's with Mr. King… my father now. But shouldn't you call her mom?"

Looking into his deep eyes, she whispered as her cheeks turned a little red despite herself, "Alright, fine. As long as mom's fine, everything will be OK. Grandpa was really upset when he learned about the incident. He is in poor health, to begin with. Let's go and visit him sometime."

"Mm." Joshua nodded in agreement.

"But," Hazel continued, "why do you think my husband is Simon King?"

"When you were at the hospital yesterday…." His eyes became deep, "you didn't deny what the doctor said."

Hazel's heart skipped a beat as she exulted, "So you were really there at that time?"

She had thought it was her illusion. However, it turned out it was really Joshua.

"Mmm." Joshua nodded and said quietly, "If it hadn't been for this, I wouldn't have blindfolded you. It's said that I look like Simon, and I don't want you to see his figure in me."

"It's the doctor who mistook him for my husband that day!" she said, wounded. "Would the doctor have been mistaken if it hadn't been for the absence of my worthless husband who is a bastard, a rascal, and a coward?"

"..." He looked up at the sky. He really felt that his head had been caught in a door! It was clear that he was Hazel's lawful husband, but he forced her to divorce him and marry him again.

What the hell was he doing?

What was more depressing was that he had set so many traps for himself and had taken the initiative to scold himself so cruelly...

"You're right," Joshua coaxed her softly. "It's all the fault of me, who is a bastard and a rascal…."

Hazel was immediately amused by him. Suddenly she asked in surprise, "Wait! Even so, why did you kidnap me? Are you really trying to force Simon to show up?"

"No." he whispered, his eyes deep and affectionate, "I just want to hide you, who is a fascinating beauty."

All of a sudden, Hazel's heart beat fast.

Joshua gently grabbed her hand and kissed her fingertips with his warm lips. "Maybe I don't remember you, Hazel, but from the moment I saw you, I fell in love with you again. I think, no matter how many times, I will fall in love with you. Only you."

His deep words sounded like the most beautiful notes, falling into her heart.

With this statement, she suddenly felt that no matter what kind of misunderstanding it was, it didn't matter now.

They were the only ones for each other.

"Do you have any questions?" he asked in a deep tone.

"No." She shook her head slightly. Now she was completely relieved. She was really glad she didn't fall for Madeline's lie and made the decision to 'kidnap' Joshua.

"You lied. You still have." His eyes grew darker. "Hazel, whatever misunderstanding we may have, we can't solve it until we talk it out. If the problem has been buried at the bottom of our hearts, there will only be more grudges in our hearts. Ask me whatever you want."

"I was wondering…" she hesitated a little, but she finally asked the question that worried her most, "if you fell in love with… Madeline Carter, while you were recovering?"
