Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Joshua was silent for a while before speaking quietly, "We\'ll talk about it when we meet."

She felt a jolt in her brain. What did Joshua say? Talk about it when they met?

Did she hear that right?

She was about to say something, but his phone had been directly hung up.

She was even more confused. Why did Joshua hang up before she told him where she was?

Suddenly, she had a bad feeling! Could it be...

"You\'d better leave, Mr. Sloane," she said, hurried.

"What happened, Hazel? Is something wrong?" Grandpa Sloane asked in astonishment. Hazel looked so flustered that he couldn\'t leave her alone.

"I can\'t make it clear for a moment," she hurried to say. "Joshua may be on his way..."

Before she could finish the sentence, the door of the ward was flung open, and Joshua came in with a chill all over.

"Why, why are you here?" She was helpless and panic-stricken.

She should have known that. Joshua was so nervous about her safety. Since he made that call, he must have looked into her whereabouts.

If she knew this would happen, she should have brought Crystal with her today. But because she wanted to be alone with Grandpa Sloane, she had deliberately sent Crystal away.

Now, what should she do?

Joshua was still misunderstanding the Sloane family. He would not be kind to Grandpa Sloane. If the two of them fell out and their relationship got worse, wouldn\'t she become the culprit?

Joshua gave Grandpa Sloane a look. In a moment, he understood what had happened. The next moment, his eyes fell straight on Hazel.

He strode over and asked thoughtfully, "Did you get hurt?"

"No, no, I\'m fine!" she replied quickly.

The next moment, he furrowed his brows, curled his finger, and flicked it on her forehead.

"Ouch!" She cried out in pain and looked at him, wounded.

"Why didn\'t you call me when you were hit by a car?" His eyes appeared helpless and worried. "Do you know how worried dad was when you suddenly disappeared from the exhibition? I couldn\'t get through to you on the phone. When I got the monitor, I saw you get hit by a car. You\'re trying to scare me to death, aren\'t you?"

In an instant, she felt very guilty. She wanted to keep Grandpa Sloane so much and get in touch with him, but she forgot how worried her parents and Joshua would be.

Moreover, there was Simon around. Presumably, Joshua thought that Simon had taken her away or that she was in some danger when she couldn\'t answer the phone. How worried would Joshua have been at that time?

"I\'m sorry," she whispered, catching his fingers gently. "I won\'t worry you like this again."

He sighed helplessly, apparently disbelieving this sentence very much.

"You can\'t be so unreasonable, Sir!" Leo, the driver of Grandpa Sloane, had been guarded outside the ward. When Joshua stormed in, he, of course, followed with concern. Hearing Joshua\'s words, he felt very dissatisfied.

He, who had been extremely dissatisfied with Hazel, said directly, "It was this lady who has rushed out from the roadside. It was clear I didn\'t hit her, but she lay down herself. I think she\'s clearly up to no good, wanting to fake an injury on purpose. How short of money she is…."

"Leo, shut up!" Grandpa Sloane\'s face darkened. Although Leo was helpless, he didn\'t dare to say much anymore.

Joshua\'s eyes became cold all at once.

Of course, he could guess that Hazel did it on purpose, but even if she did, he could not bear to hear anyone speak ill of her.

"Does Mr. Sloane mean my Joshua Denmark\'s wife, the real owner of Denmark Group, risked her life for a little bit of money?!" he asked in a deep tone which was with an undisguised chill. "Mr. Sloane, I need an explanation!"

Momentarily, Hazel was worried. That was what she feared. She wanted to ease the relationship between Joshua and the Sloane family instead of aggravating the misunderstanding. Now Joshua even ignored the driver and directly aimed at Grandpa Sloane!

Joshua cared a lot about people he cared about, but if others really annoyed him, he would be merciless! She didn\'t want to see Joshua fall out with the Sloane family.

"No, it isn\'t..." she hurried to say.

But before she could finish the sentence, Joshua even covered her mouth directly. "Be good, you almost had an accident. Don\'t say too much, or you\'ll get tired easily."

She glared at him helplessly. How could talking make her tired? Obviously, he didn\'t want her to talk at all!

She struggled to free herself from his hand, but she was directly hugged by him instead, and her arms were also tightly wound by him!

She felt hopeless somehow. It was clear Joshua was trying to make trouble. Grandpa Sloane had deliberately distanced himself from him. Now their relationship was bound to get worse!

She looked anxiously at Grandpa Sloane. She didn\'t know what was on Grandpa Sloane\'s mind as he nodded. "You\'re right. It was I who almost hit Miss Crowe this time, and I should make it up to both of you."

She was confused. She had thought they would fight, but Grandpa Sloane actually compromised?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she understood.

Grandpa Sloane wanted to thank her, so he did so. He even gave up the chance to fall out with Joshua and directly accepted Joshua\'s aggressive question.

All of a sudden, she felt warm. She really didn\'t want to see such a kind old man wounded. What was worse, he was questioned by his own grandson, who he cared about.

But Joshua was still clapping his hand over her mouth, and she couldn\'t speak in the least. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.

Joshua was also a little surprised, but he only paused for a moment before saying coldly, "Grandpa Sloane, I think you should also know that Denmark Group is not necessarily worse than the Sloane family. Hazel and I won\'t necessarily pay attention to your so-called compensation. If we did accept it, it would confirm Hazel was faking an injury to deceive you. If you really feel guilty, I just hope you won\'t..."

Before he could finish the sentence, he felt a warm, soft touch on his fingertips.
