MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"Of course." Nanny Carter promised.

Lily was taken out of Hazel's room by the guards. She knew that in the past, Hazel and the staff of Denmark Residence really did not trouble her, so she was arrogant for so long. However, her punishment would be forced to be to do some heavy work, and there would be no opportunity to ask the Flores family for help.

If it were before, she would have refused to do anything. But now, thinking of Hazel telling her that she could experience the feeling of being the heroine, she had some expectations. She did not resist their bullying, she just continued on her way.

Lily praised herself while cleaning the pool. The TV drama was that way. The heroine must be bullied by the bad guys so that the president can save her. She must bear and endure it until Joshua came home, then she could complain. She wanted to let Joshua know what kind of woman Hazel was.

Thinking of Joshua rescuing her, Lily was happier, and she was more and more active in her work. Hazel stood in her room and watched her through the blinds. She felt uneasy with Lily being so happy, she was wondering what she thought.

"She was deeply affected by the TV drama..." Hazel's lips twitched slightly.

"She really likes to watch it," Theresa said somewhat helplessly. "She used to watch TV dramas in the evening and stay up late."

"You should advise her to read more books." Hazel asked, "Reading can improve temperament."

"It's useless, she doesn't like to read books..." Theresa looked at Hazel with worry and couldn't help but ask, "Hazel, are you really not afraid that Lily will go to tell my family? She would definitely do this kind of thing."

"I am not afraid," Hazel shook her head calmly. "It would be useless even if she told them. Your parents would persuade her to bear it. If she couldn't stand it, they would consider changing the person they have here."

Theresa was surprised. She couldn't figure out why she could be so sure.

"The current situation is like the tug-of-war between your parents and me, but whether we will win or not is all depending on Joshua," Hazel explained to her calmly. "So, they will not cause problems if they are not sure that Joshua will choose them. After all, I can still be used by them!"

"You know it, and then you help us..." Theresa was a bit embarrassed. Her parents were actually using Hazel, Theresa had never known how to tell her, but Hazel knew all of this.

"I am not stupid, of course, I know it." Hazel smiled calmly, but for the next moment, she couldn't help but smile. "I am not helping you. Everything I do is for Joshua. So, I really don't care about your parents' thoughts."

She only cared about Joshua, thinking about the situation, Hazel felt extremely disappointed. In his heart, Joshua had a scar, and he was unwilling to deal with it. Hazel could feel it though, she assumed it was left when Lanny and Caroline sold him.

All she wanted to do was to help him face the past and ease his pain. She would tolerate everything no matter how far he went. She loved Joshua and wanted to help him, so even if she was wronged, she did not care.

The question was, would Joshua appreciate what she did? Hazel was uncertain about it.

***

When Joshua came back, it was late. However, he and Hazel spoke earlier in the evening, and he told her not to wait for him and go rest.

"Sir Denmark, do you want to eat something?" Nanny Carter took his coat and asked thoughtfully.

"Okay, I am really hungry." Joshua looked upstairs, "Is she asleep?"

"Miss Crowe is already asleep." Nanny Carter replied.

Joshua nodded and walked to the dining room. Nanny Carter went to the kitchen and told others to prepare tea for Joshua.

Joshua pulled out the chair and sat down. He picked up the book on the table and asked strangely, "Why is this book here?"

"Miss Crowe read it for a while today and then forgot to put it back," the servant explained.

Joshua's eyes flashed a touch of distress. It turned out that his Hazel was growing this much? When he was absent, she worked hard even when having dinner.

He reached over and looked at Hazel's notes, and his heart was warm.

Lily came over with the tea, she was annoyed. Hazel could really act, and she actually uses this method to attract Joshua! However, this was the end of it!

"Sir Denmark, your tea..." She came to Joshua's side, and Lily was as gentle as a little sheep. She suddenly bit her tongue hard, there was sharp pain, and her eyes were red, her hand shook, and the whole cup of tea poured over Joshua's lap.

This time there would be no mistakes. The TV dramas were just like this, the handsome man could not resist the clumsy girl. As long as they were slapped or accidentally poured a glass over the man, the man would fall in love with the girl, it was like a curse. Lily felt highly nervous, but she was highly confident that it would work.

Joshua looked at his lap, and his eyes deepened. He quickly closed the book and put it back on the table. The warm tea was all over him and a little splashed on the cover of the book. Joshua felt even angrier, and he looked up coldly at Lily.

Lily acted like she had been deeply wounded. "Sir Denmark, I am really sorry. I have done a lot of work today, so I am a little tired..."

Joshua's facial expression was ugly. He had recognized Lily, but was she actually wearing Hazel's clothes?

He personally selected every piece of clothing in Hazel's closet, so he remembered it very clearly. Hazel had not worn it; how would Lily get it? She dared to go into Hazel's closet and take her clothes.

Seeing that Joshua stared at her coldly, Lily thought that her method worked. She wiped her tears and deliberately exposed the scar on her arm to Joshua.

She quickly got a towel and prepared to help Joshua wipe up the tea from his lap. However, Joshua grabbed her hand before she had a chance. Lily's wrist felt like it was going to break, but she was surprised and happy, at that moment, it was the closest she had ever been to Joshua.

She said in a hurry, "Sir Denmark, don't worry, it was nothing for me to be wronged. Don't let it affect your... your relationship..."
