Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Ted froze.

Hazel had said the same thing before, but he was furious. Now when he heard it again, he felt nothing but bitterness and remorse in the heart.

Maybe what Hazel and Joshua said was true. It was just that he had never been aware of his own problems. Over the past years, he had lived so smoothly that he wasn't willing to hear any true words that were against him anymore. Besides, the older he was, the more he looked like an old fool.

However, even if he repented, it was too late.

"Joshua, I just want to get your hearts back... Can you tell me what I should do?" Ted said sadly. His voice was unusually sincere.

Joshua just gave him an indifferent look. "Mr. King, do you need someone to teach you about this? Why didn't we see you were willing to learn from others when you hurt us?"

Ted's eyes flashed with a hint of panic. It was just because he had no idea what he should do that he thought of asking Joshua, but come to think of it, he was too insincere if he needed to be taught in this aspect.

After looking at Ted's thoughtful expression, Joshua raised his wrist to watch the time.

"I'll leaving," Joshua said lightly. "The only reason I'm willing to talk to you is that I hope you can stop harassing Hazel."

Ted's face stiffened slightly.

Joshua said lightly as if he had guessed what Ted was thinking, "Hazel is very kind. But, unfortunately, you've used her kindness to do a lot of things to hurt her. I don't want you to use the family relationship to threaten her or force her to face a dilemma."

Ted felt a little bitter in the heart. But, as Joshua said, he had intended to go to Hazel.

After all, both Simon and Stacy loved Hazel. It could even be said that without Hazel, the family might not be together now, and Stacy might not recover. If he could please Hazel, he would be able to be liked by all three of them.

How could he be so stupid before? Why didn't he find this approach before? He had actually been so dismissive of Hazel and even tried to get rid of her!

Come to think of it now, maybe it was because he was jealous of Hazel, who could draw the attention of the people closest to him. It was what he was eager to get, but he couldn't get at all.

However, he had done so much to hurt Hazel, so he really didn't have the face to ask her for help now.

Ted opened his mouth, ashamed. "I will…"

Joshua gave him an indifferent look and turned around to leave.

"Joshua!" Looking at his back, Ted stopped him.

Joshua paused, but he did not turn around.

"If… I am willing to right the wrongs, will you give me another chance?" This sentence had exhausted all of Ted's strength.

"It's up to you whether you want to right the wrongs," Joshua began lightly. "But it's up to us whether we want to forgive you or not."

With that, he strode off.

Joshua didn't expect Ted to understand much, so he wouldn't promise him anything. After restoring his memory, he didn't like Ted at all. He was willing to say so much to Ted because he hoped Hazel could have a quiet environment.

Every time Ted made trouble out of nothing, he greatly upset them. So even if Ted didn't do anything, let alone right the wrongs, they were lucky.

When he returned to Heward, Hazel looked a little flustered.

"What's the matter?" Joshua went to clutch her hand.

She hesitated and then said, "Mom and dad called me just now."

His eyelids twitched.

If the news of Hazel's premature birth had reached Harry and Rachel's ears, he could already imagine a storm would happen. But if he and Hazel wanted to hide it from Harry and Rachel, it was impossible.

"You told them?" Joshua asked softly.

"No," Hazel said guiltily. "I directly hung up…."

He was speechless. The harder Hazel tried to conceal it, the more it attracted attention.

"Did I do something wrong?" Hazel stared at him, wounded.

He sat down next to her, held out his hands to gently caress her hair. "Hazel, it's okay. I'll call your parents later and tell them."

"Huh?!" She opened her mouth wide in surprise and was suddenly flustered. "No, no, you can't do that. My parents will be angry!"

She wasn't slightly injured. Unfortunately, she had a premature birth!

"It can't be hidden for long, they'll know sooner or later," he said, taking her hand gently. "Besides, if we hide it from them, they will be sadder. Hazel, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Joshua's words were like magic. Hazel calmed down and said yes. "Okay..."

Later, Joshuadirectly called Harry and Rachel and told them what had happened.

Of course, he was greeted with a torrent of criticism. After hearing the incident, Harry and Rachel lost their composure and quickly asked Joshua to help them go abroad. They wanted to accompany Hazel.

Joshua readily agreed. Hazel, who had been listening to the conversation, was very frightened.

As he hung up, she nervously asked, "Are you really going to pick up mom and dad?"

"Yes, I'll be more relieved if they can keep you company," he whispered.

She almost cried. She was scared, okay? She was really afraid to see Harry and Rachel after this incident, but she was more guilty than afraid.

"Hazel, don't worry, I'll be there for you," he said, clutching her hand.

***

In the end, Joshua and Hazel named their baby Randy Denmark. Randy spent a week in an incubator and had completely recovered. Doctors said he was a premature baby, but he would definitely be strong enough and wouldn't be different from other children.

Since the baby was fine, Joshua took the baby back to the villa with Hazel.

When Hazel was in the hospital, Ted always wandered around the ward. Fortunately, he never did anything bad, so they were completely used to seeing him.

After hearing that they had left the hospital, Ted approached Joshua's villa and looked wistfully at the villa in front of him.

Joshua wouldn't let him in, of course, and Ted didn't have the face to bother them.

When he wandered around, a car drove past the gate.

Harry and Rachel were in the car. Rachel's eyes were alert, and she saw Ted wandering.

Rachel couldn't help frowning. "What's the matter with that man?"

Harry shook his head. "I don't know."

"Let's get off and ask him," said Rachel. "I hope he isn't planning to do something bad to the little couple."
