MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

However, Hazel was not going to let Caroline get the best of her. She sent a text message to Sharon, and she went on to say, "No need to worry, I have already arranged it, and someone will bring groceries later."

"That's good, it's really troublesome for you," Caroline said, but she did not feel that she was bothering her.

Rachel's eyes were a bit deeper, but she still said nothing.

Within an hour, people arrived with boxes of food and went directly to the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Caroline said, dissatisfied.

"That is the chef I invited," Hazel explained. "Lanny has just been discharged from the hospital, and I don't want you to be too busy, so I asked someone to help. In fact, I wanted to cook, but I don't really have any skills in the kitchen, so I would need help."

Caroline had a hideous expression, and Hazel could tell that she was very dissatisfied. She presumed that Caroline also wanted to send her into the kitchen to cook. She couldn't do it alone, so she found a way around it.

"Well, Hazel," Caroline said. "Lily will be coming to visit us for a while. You are all girls, just chatting together."

Hazel's fingers were clenched, and Caroline was clearly warning her. Caroline must have thought it was not chaotic enough, and she needed more drama.

"Good..." Hazel agreed.

Lily arrived, greeted the Flores family, and then pulled Hazel into a room.

"Hazel, I want to ask you a favor." Lily looked at her with a burning gaze.

"What favor?" Hazel asked strangely.

"Can you give me Joshua for a month?" Lily said with her eyes wide open.

"Ha?!" Hazel was shocked. What kind of brainwashing did the Flores family have on Lily? Last night, she was still afraid of Joshua. Today, she was actually fighting high spirits.

"He is really handsome and amazing, I really love him!" Lily looked intoxicated. "And I feel that he was my true love! Although he may not understand me now, as long as you give him to me for a month, he will love me!"

Hazel really didn't know what to say. Was Lily completely crazy?

"Why do you think I will give him to you?" she said sarcastically.

"Auntie said, no matter what I request from you, you will agree! How can you not agree?" Lily said angrily.

Hazel was angry, she realized what was happening. They were venting their anger, and they would ask her for anything, knowing that she would give in.

"Impossible," she refused without hesitation. "You don't even think about it!"

"Hazel, how can you do this!" Lily said angrily. "What is wrong with loving someone? I see that you are afraid of me. You also know that I am destined to be his true love, so don't bother trying to compete with me!"

Hazel wanted to punch Lily in the mouth each time she spoke. She was requesting to have Joshua for a month to even out the competition, she really was mad.

"I don't care, anyway, you have to agree today!" Lily said angrily. "You went too far, you didn't even dare to compete with me fairly! No wonder you have been suppressing me, you are also aware that Joshua actually likes me…"

Hazel took a deep breath and resisted the urge to hit her. Rachel and the Flores family were in the living room, if she started a fight, then everything would be out in the open.

"Lower your voice!" Hazel clenched her teeth

"You don't agree, I won't lower my voice!" Lily said proudly. Presumably, Caroline knew what Lily was saying to Hazel.

Hazel was infuriated, and the Flores family was forcing too much on her. It would have been better to hit Lily in the face than make that kind of promise. If she did hit Lily, though, it would have to be after Rachel had left, she didn't want her parents to worry about things between her and Joshua. 

While she was contemplating what to do, Hazel heard a knock on the door.

"Hazel, what are you doing in there? Are you fighting?" Rachel asked.

"Do you agree or not?!" Lily asked in a low voice, and she now made it clear that she was trying to threaten her.

She took a deep breath and said coldly. "You don't even think about it! I won't do anything to your uncle and aunt, but Lily, do you think I will let you go?!"

Lily was completely stunned. When Hazel said these words, her anger made her tremble. That feeling was like what she felt when she faced Joshua in the dining room... She lowered her head as Hazel walked past her, but she did not stop.

Hazel opened the door and said with a smile, "Mom, it was nothing, we were just talking a little loud."

Rachel looked at Hazel with deep eyes. She asked nothing. "Come

and sit down, and then we will have lunch."

"Yeah." Hazel followed Rachel to the living room. Caroline looked sharply at her, and she then looked at Lily. Seeing Lily's timid appearance, Caroline couldn't help but be angry. It seemed that this girl was scared of Hazel.

"I have been exhausted being in the hospital with Lanny," Caroline reached out and rubbed her shoulder. "My shoulders are sore, but unfortunately, I can't find myself..."

"I will do it." Hazel's eyes sunk slightly. Caroline was now raising her hand, and she could guess what she meant.

"It is okay..." said Caroline.

Hazel walked behind her and grasped her shoulders hard; her fingers pinched a few hairs, and Hazel pulled them.

"Hey! What's the matter with you? Why are you so rough?" Caroline looked back angrily and glared at Hazel.

Hazel calmly retracted her hand and her gaze swept across the hair she pulled out, hair follicles and all. More importantly, Caroline only noticed the pain in her shoulders and didn't notice that she pulled her hair out.

"Enough." Rachel said, looking at Caroline coldly, "Don't go too far!"

Caroline looked back at Rachel, who was very condescending, but she wanted Caroline to know that she would be angry if she continued to threaten Hazel.

"Mrs. Crowe," Caroline said with a smile. "It's just that your daughter's hand has too much strength, right..."

"Hazel," Rachel interrupted Caroline's words, looking coldly at Hazel, "I have some bad news to tell you."

"What?" Hazel was a bit stunned.

"I am so angry now!" Rachel picked up the teacup and poured the cup of tea on Caroline's face.
