MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Ted's lips twitched. What could he say now?

Hardly had Hazel enter the kitchen when she made such big trouble. If she stayed longer, she might blow up the kitchen!

Ted wasn't worried about her, but she was pregnant with his grandchild. If anything happened to her, it wouldn't be good for the baby to be hurt. Besides, Madeline looked so scheming, but he didn't expect her to be so useless!

Thinking of the day's troubles, he turned around and left the kitchen with a cold snort.

Joshua examined Hazel's body. After making sure she wasn't hurt, he asked gently, "Were you frightened?"

"No," she said with a smile. "I was already busy preparing the next dish, so I escaped the explosion, and I wasn't frightened."

In an instant, Simon became very curious, "What's the next dish?"

"... Snow Capped Volcano," she spoke with embarrassment.

"What is it? That sounds awesome." Simon was more curious.

Joshua froze for a while before he suddenly smiled. "Tomatoes with sugar?"

"Yes!" She was very happy. "You know me best indeed."

Ted, who had not gone far, stiffened instantly. At this point, how could he not understand that neither Joshua nor Hazel cared at all about his demands?

Like Ted, who wouldn't accept Hazel just because she was excellent, Joshua didn't have the intention of pleasing Ted at all. None of them were willing to make concessions. Ted used to put on airs with his identity as a father. Ted couldn't help thinking in Joshua' eyes, he must have been a ridiculous joke.

When Joshua and Hazel came back to the living room, they found that Ted had already left.

"What's the matter?" Simon asked in surprise.

"Master Joshua, Master Simon," a servant came forward and said, "Master says he won't have dinner with you. Master Joshua and his wife live in West House. Master Simon, if you want to visit Mrs. King, please follow me."

Ted didn't want to eat with them, and the three of them didn't want to eat with him either.

Simon couldn't resist snorting. "It's boring as he leaves so fast. By the way, do you want to come with me?"

"No need," Joshua said quietly. "He must have gone there. If I go with Hazel, we'll inevitably fight with him."

Simon was a little surprised. "So the old man really loves our mother?"

"You'll find out yourself when you go," said Joshua lightly. When he recuperated at the manor, he did feel that Ted was kind to Stacy, but only to her. Otherwise, Ted wouldn't have ignored the wishes of his two sons.

Simon didn't ask any questions and just said goodbye to Hazel and Joshua.

Joshua, who had recovered from injuries in the West House, brought Hazel to the West House with ease.

After arriving at the West House, the servant brought some food to their bedroom.

"Are you hungry?" Joshua asked gently. "Do you want to eat first?"

"Okay." Hazel smiled. She had rested on the plane, so she wasn't particularly sleepy.

But before she could touch the food, Joshua picked up the trays and dumped all the food.

"What are you doing?" Hazel looked at him with resentment.

"Hazel, wait a minute. I'll cook for you." Joshua stroked her hair gently.

"Good." Hazel froze for a bit and then nodded.

Although the servants here were Ted's people, since even the butler dared to take the lead in provoking her, it was likely that some of them would be bought off by some people with ulterior motives and did something to her food.

She must be very careful while living here.

Joshua kissed her lightly on the forehead, and suddenly his eyes flashed before he looked at the wall.

The next moment, Joshua took a knife from a drawer and cut open the wallpaper.

Dumbstruck, Hazel saw a tiny camera hidden behind the wallpaper. If she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't have noticed it at all!

Joshua then inspected the whole room, cut off all the hidden cameras, and planned to throw them out.

"How can he..." Hazel was still a little overwhelmed.

Ted was more controlling than she thought. He actually installed a camera in his own son's bedroom! She had to resist the urge to call Ted a pervert. It was not because she was rude. It was just that she and Joshua were married. A young couple living together would inevitably have some intimate behaviors. Didn't Ted know he shouldn't do this kind of thing?

But Hazel also sensed that it wasn't because Ted was a Peeping Tom that he installed these cameras. It must be because he was too controlling. He did not know how to be a father.

Otherwise, he would not have had such a bad relationship with Simon. But he was terribly conceited, which was the reason why he installed cameras in their bedroom; he tried to make Joshua obey him like a puppet.

That made Hazel even more disgusted with Ted's behavior. Besides, there was a cloud hanging over her. If she tried to get Ted and Joshua to accept each other in two months, it would definitely be extremely difficult.

"I'm going to throw these things away, and then cook for you," Joshua whispered. There was also a separate kitchen in West House, so Joshua could cook for Hazel at any time.

"Fine." Hazel nodded. Joshua walked out with the cameras.

Simon's reaction was more direct when he knew that.

Simone went to visit Stacy. It was just that Stacy seemed to be getting sicker and sicker. Even though he was sitting right in front of Stacy, Stacy didn't recognize him at all. To be exact, even though he sat in front of Stacy, he didn't seem to be in her world.

Although Simon was sad, he didn't know what to do.

Then he accidentally found out the fact that Ted had been monitoring Joshua and Hazel with cameras!

"Pervert! Rogue! Peeping Tom!" Simon swore at Ted with all the words he knew, but he was still unable to vent his anger.

He said coldly, "Old man, I didn't expect you to be like this! What? You're not happy, so you peep at other people? Shame on you!"

"Nonsense!" Ted interrupted in a deep tone. Joshua had already made him angry by throwing away all the food the servant had given to Joshua. Ted had no idea that his first son was so defensive of him!

And his second son spitefully speculated about his behavior. As for his favorite woman, in his company, her illness began to deteriorate! All these things piled up, making him strangely miserable.
