MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"You will have the final say about gifts." Hazel felt dizzy, as long as she was with Joshua, she felt as if she could not think.         

Joshua smiled and kissed her on the lips.         

"No... Let's hurry back. "Hazel said.

"No hurry." Joshua smiled, "What do you want to eat tonight?"         

"Do you want to cook for me?" Hazel asked curiously.         

"Well," Joshua nodded, "You didn't like it?"         

"Of course, I liked it!" Hazel said happily. She was really at ease about having Joshua cook for her.

"Come on, let's go to the supermarket first." He said.         

Hazel looked at him in amazement.         

"What's wrong?" Joshua started the car again.         

"No." She shook her head. "It's just a little unexpected. I thought you'd leave it to the servant."

"Usually, it's left to them," Joshua said lightly. "But today, it's different because it's for you."         

Hazel's heart was warm, and her cheeks were a little redder.         

Joshua stopped at the parking lot when they arrived at the supermarket.         

Hazel opened the car door, and Joshua helped her up, he held her hand and said, "Let's go."

Hazel stopped, she turned around abruptly and started to glare suspiciously at the cars in the parking lot and other shops near the market.       

"What's wrong?" Joshua asked seriously. He was concerned as to why she stopped so suddenly.       

"Nothing." Hazel smiled and shook her head, looking a little confused. "It's just that I suddenly felt a cold chill run down my back. It's like someone is watching me. Maybe it is just my imagination."

Joshua looked around to see if he saw anything that was suspicious, his eyes went from side to side, searching every little spot for potential danger.

"Let's go inside," Hazel held his hand, "It must have been my imagination. It's probably too cold here."         

Joshua nodded and went into the supermarket, holding Hazel's hand tightly so that she felt a bit more reassurance. 

Not far away, Vanessa was hiding in a sports car. She stared at Joshua and Hazel's backs as they went into the market, her heart filling with hatred.

It was like a broken record playing in her head…they really are together, they really are together, they really are together.

Vanessa slammed the steering wheel violently, grinding her teeth.         

When Joshua's parents were still alive, she went to the Denmark Residence to pester Joshua. Although Joshua never responded to her, at least there was no other woman beside him.

When his parents were gone, he was still not close to anyone, but at least she knew where Joshua was and who he was spending time with.         

But this year was different, Joshua suddenly disappeared during the Christmas vacation. She went crazy wanting to find him and begged Kenny for a long time before she got a private phone number that belonged to Joshua, but she called, Hazel answered the phone.     

Joshua disappeared to be with Hazel? How could she accept it?         

However, today, when Joshua and Hazel returned to the capital together, she faced the harsh reality. She decided to follow them, she sat outside of the private club waiting for them to leave and then drove a few car lengths behind them to the supermarket.         

She was not giving up, she was the one who had stood by Joshua the longest. She had always felt that Joshua would marry her sooner or later as long as she waited, but why did everything suddenly change when Hazel appeared?

Vanessa grasped the steering wheel tightly, her face had a cruel and evil expression.

Hazel did not know that her instinct was not her imagination. She continued to casually walk around the supermarket with Joshua, looking at Joshua's selection of vegetables with adoration in her eyes.         

"Joshua, is there anything you cannot do?" Hazel couldn't help but ask.         

He smiled and took her hand in his. "Actually, it's not difficult. Have you never been to the supermarket with your parents before?"         

"I was," Hazel said, distressed. "But I never picked on them."

"What do you pick?" He asked.         

"I've always picked those." Hazel pointed to a snack shelf not far away.         

Joshua smiled. "Let's go there. It's up to you to pick."         

"Joshua, will you blame me for knowing nothing about housework?" Hazel asked with a low voice.

"You can eat, right?" Joshua was surprised.         

"Are you trying to comfort me? "Hazel looked at him, speechless.         

"In my opinion, eating is also a good thing." Joshua smiled slightly, "And you know a lot, Hazel. There's no need to feel inferior. Let's try to reassure you first, like getting married..."

Hazel choked. Then she whispered, "I was worried that you would feel bored with me."   

"No, Hazel, you're funny." Joshua whispered and suddenly sighed, "I'm afraid you'll find me too boring and stiff."

Did Joshua worry about the same sort of thing? No wonder he always tried to be nice to her.         

"Let's not talk about it. Let's go and buy snacks." Hazel took the initiative to hold his hand as they walked to the snack bar.       

Vanessa, who had found a hiding spot behind the shelves not far away, looked at them with hatred. Unexpectedly, Vanessa took out her cell phone and whispered something.

Joshua and Hazel paid for their items and went to the parking lot. Hazel was just about to get into the car when Joshua suddenly said, "Hazel, do you want to try your new car?"         

"Ah?" Hazel looked at him blankly, "Now?"         

"Right." Joshua nodded, "I asked the driver to deliver it."

"But..." Hazel couldn't understand why Joshua would let her try the car after they just finished grocery shopping.

"Come on, let me experience Hazel's driving skills." Joshua smiled and took her to the Porsche.         

"Okay." Hazel nodded.         

She opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.

"Wait for me, I need to tell the driver something," Joshua said.         

"Good." She nodded.         

The driver was already in the driver's seat of the Maybach, and Joshua knocked on the window, so the driver quickly lowered the glass.         

"Be careful," Joshua whispered. "I have arranged for people to protect you."

"I will, Master Joshua." The driver answered.         

Joshua turned around and sat in Porsche. He said with a cool look, "Let's go."         

"Good." Hazel started the car.         

Vanessa was sitting in a nearby café, and through the window of the café, she could see the entrance to the underground parking lot of the supermarket on the opposite side.

Vanessa was frowning and wondering why they hadn't come out yet?         

Suddenly, the familiar Maybach pulled out of the parking lot, and Vanessa was shocked. The next moment, a ferocious look flashed in her eyes, and she pressed her finger on the cell phone without hesitation.

On the corner not far away, a car suddenly rushed out and hit Maybach with the intensity of a freight train.   

Before anyone had time to react, the sound of brakes rang through the air, and the Maybach had been knocked out of the way, deformed, with thick smoke rising from the car.
