Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

He had a good knowledge of Ted's tricks, so he would never put Hazel in danger!

Hazel distressed herself about this. After losing his memory, Joshua seemed to become stubborn. In this case, it would be even more difficult for her to convince him.

She thought for a bit and finally said, "But you're here. You'll protect me, won't you? Besides, I'm pregnant, and I'm sure he won't be hard on me."

His face was still pale, and he insisted, "No. Even if he isn't hard on you, he'll certainly try to make us misunderstand each other and break us up."

"Then, do you have no confidence in our relationship?" She sat directly in his arms, with her arms putting around his neck, and asked seductively in his ear.

His arms encircled her waist, and there was a complicated gleam in his eye.

The moment when he met Hazel, he couldn't control the turbulent feelings in his heart. Although he could not remember anything, he knew how passionate and real their relationship was.

He loved Hazel deeply, so after listening to Hazel's story, he didn't doubt the truth of the story and directly believed her. However, he really didn't remember those things and didn't know how to get along with Hazel. He could only act on instinct. He believed in his relationship with Hazel, but any genuine relationship couldn't be used to destroy.

"I don't know…." Joshua gave a wry smile.

Hazel froze. Yes, she remembered all these things, but to Joshua, she was just a stranger who had been with him for a few days. She was too pushy.

"Joshua..." she said in a low tone, "I know you're worried about me, but things have to be solved. The reason why I agreed to go to Country M is that I hope he can recognize our relationship, and I don't want to give him the chance to break us up. I've never been a pedantic person. He can soothe you with a trick, can't we beat him at his own game?"

Joshua's eyes twinkled. He knew what Hazel meant.

Now that Ted was willing to make concessions, it made sense for them to make a concession. If Ted had had any dirty tricks, they could not just wait helplessly for the end.

"Ted is not a person who would change his mind easily." He furrowed his brow.

"But he's changed for you," she said, smiling and winking. "I'm sure we can convince him."

"Alright..." He was helpless. "But we must agree beforehand that when we get to the manor, you'll definitely obey me."

"Uh-huh!" She nodded constantly. "By the way, how are you going to catch Ian Flores? You've already had plans, haven't you?"

He sighed lightly. Hazel really knew him too well. He took out an invitation and showed it to her.

"Grandpa Sloane's birthday party?!" She held the invitation and looked at him with some surprise. "Have you seen Grandpa Sloane?"

"Do you still call him Grandpa Sloane?" He scratched the tip of her nose.

"Have you really gone to visit… grandpa?" Her eyes twinkled. She had planned to visit the Sloane family with Joshua at the right time, but she had no idea that he had actually contacted the Sloane family in advance.

"Yes." He nodded. "I should at least tell grandpa that my mother is safe. It so happens that he is about to hold a birthday party, so I set a trap."

"If you go to grandpa's party in the hotel, Ian Flores will definitely find a way to sneak into the hotel." Her eyes lit up.

He looked at her with deep eyes. He raised his hand gently and rubbed her hair. He didn't have to say anything more, and Hazel still could know what he meant. This kind of perfect rapport was quite familiar to him and made him particularly warm.

"Yeah, Hazel, anything could happen. Are you sure you're going?" he asked again.

"Sure." Without hesitation, she said, "My grandfather's birthday party is very dangerous, but if I don't go, Ian will be suspicious. Besides, even if I'm not there, I wouldn't be safe."

He let out a little sigh. Hazel seemed to be more persistent than he was. "Okay, I'll take you there, but you must promise me…."

"Got it, got it," she said, sticking out her tongue. "I'll obey you at any time..."

He pinched her cheek helplessly. The girl could always silence him.

***

Joshua let out the news about his relationship with Grandpa Sloane and that Grandpa Sloane would admit Joshua's identity in person at the birthday party.

After the news was let out, naturally, it aroused a lot of attention. The Sloane family had a solid foundation, to begin with. It turned out Joshua actually had such a relationship with the Sloane family. The Sloane family and Joshua hadn't officially admitted this, so various speculations were on the Internet.

There was even speculation that Joshua wanted to get something from the Sloane family. The person who said these words was soon attacked by other netizens instantly. After all, with Joshua's identity, he didn't need to get anything from the Sloane family.

But the Sloane family had been keeping a low profile, and Joshua didn't say anything about any of these things, so there were more and more public opinions. Then, finally, all eyes were focused on Grandpa Sloane's birthday party.

After all, when Grandpa Sloane's birthday party began, the truth about Joshua's relationship with the Sloane family would be revealed.

It was a hot affair, and Simon knew about it. What he didn't expect was that Hazel and Joshua would come to him in person.

"Master Simon, do you really refuse to meet them?" Chester asked with a troubled expression.

Through the window in the study, Simon could see Joshua and Hazel waiting outside the front door. It was hot, and Joshua was holding a pink umbrella for Hazel.

Simon's lip twitched. Even if he lost his memory, Joshua was still a person who cared about his wife very much. Didn't Joshua find it was really an eyesore to hold that umbrella? Joshua, however, might not pay attention to his own image at all. He did this because he couldn't make Hazel exposed to the sun.

Simon was furious. Even if he stayed at home, he couldn't hide from their public display of affection.

"Yes!" He looked very pale. "Go and drive them away!"

"Huh?" Chester's face looked troubled. Simon had always been on good terms with Hazel and Joshua. Was it not good for him to suddenly kick them out?

"Go quickly!" Simon kicked him angrily.

Chester hurried out of the study to the gate and conveyed Simon's message to Hazel and Joshua.
