Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"How would I?" Rachel denied in embarrassment.

"But you did!" Hazel muttered. "You have been reluctant to look right at me. If things were normal, you should have begun yelling at me by now! But you haven't."

"...What's wrong with you? You imagine things?" Rachel laughed with tears.

"That's because I know you only do that because you care about me too much." Hazel smiled and forced herself into Rachel's arms, whispering, "Mom, no matter what my identity is, we have been together for more than 20 years. You and Dad will always be my parents. The feelings between us will never change because of this."

Rachel looked suspiciously at Joshua.

"Rachel, I really want Hazel to be recognized by the Denmark family." Joshua said faintly, "But only because I want her to know her identity and get everything that belongs to her. She doesn't need to abandon her loved ones."

Rachel sighed slowly, "This is too sudden. I have to think about it..."

Hazel and Joshua nodded with a look of understanding.

Suddenly, Rachel looked at Joshua and said, "If the Denmark family recognizes Hazel, will there be any danger to her?"

Joshua was really touched. The Crowe family was really good to Hazel. Their top priority was always Hazel's safety. Rachel was very sensitive and had realized the real reason why he refused to disclose Hazel's identity.

"I will protect Hazel," Joshua promised.

"So, she is in danger now?" Rachel's eyes blinked.

"Mom, whether it will be dangerous or not, this is what I should face." Hazel whispered, "I know that you have been helping me find my own parents, but they were hurt badly by their enemy. I am their daughter, after all. I should admit that regardless of my safety, right?"

"Do you think this kind of thing is child's play?" Rachel was angry and again, "Hazel, why don't you take your safety seriously?"

"Mom, you can be sure that I will pay attention to my safety! Besides, I got Joshua. I believe him." Hazel said solemnly.

"Just do what you like." Rachel waved her hand irritably. The impact on her was too great. She didn't know what to do with herself.

"Right, you said that my husband and Ronald would be coming here?" Rachel asked,

"Are they here yet?"

"I just received the message." Joshua said, "They will arrive in five minutes."

"I will go pick them up." Rachel strode out of the study.

Hazel hung her head and looked depressed.

"Hazel," Joshua gently wrapped her in his arms, "Don't think too much. It will take time for them to accept this."

"I know..." Hazel sighed, but if she were alienated from them, she would be crushed.

"You brought my dad and my brother here because you wanted to tell them about my identity, right?" Hazel looked up at him.

"Yeah." Joshua nodded slightly, "But I didn't plan to happen so fast..."

"Okay, anyway, they will have to face it sooner or later." Hazel shrugged, "I will explain it to them."

"I will be with you," Joshua said.

"Don't." Hazel vomited, "My parents don't like you. If you go, they will think you have ulterior motives. Wait for me to convince them!"

Joshua raised his eyebrows. He still wanted to say something but gave up when he saw Hazel looked so determined. Hazel went downstairs to find Rachel. But when she just got downstairs, she saw Theresa Flores standing there.

She was a bit stunned. Joshua had kicked her family out of Denmark Residence, and the situation with Theresa would be a bit of a problem.

If they made her cut ties with the Flores family, it would seem cold-hearted. Theresa grew up in a horrible environment, with her parents treating her badly, but she still had a good personality, which was rare. If she had to go back to their home, then her future would be completely destroyed.

"Sister Hazel," Theresa looked at her and said in a hurry, "I didn't come to plead for my parents. They deserved everything that happened. However, my parents said they wanted me to stay, and they also wanted to see me once before leaving to say goodbye to me."

Hazel frowned. The Flores Family didn't care about Theresa at all. Hazel could not understand that even after Joshua drove them out, why would they want Theresa to stay and continue to live comfortably. Had they really become so sensible suddenly? She felt something was wrong.

"Is this really what they said?" Hazel asked.

"Yes." Theresa sighed and asked awkwardly, "They regret it now. My parents said that they don't want my future to be influenced because of them. Hazel, can you talk to Mr. Denmark to give us some time to say goodbye?"

Such a request was really hard to refuse.

"Well then..." Hazel said. "You go ahead. I will tell Joshua. But please pay close attention to your surroundings and to your safety. Remember to call me if anything goes wrong."

"Ah?" Theresa looked at her in surprise. It seemed that she didn't understand what Hazel said.

"...Hurry up, remember to keep an eye out for yourself," Hazel said.

Theresa hastily left Denmark Residence. Hazel went to tell Joshua about the Flores family and Theresa, by the time she finished her story, her father and brother had arrived.

Hazel naturally had to explain it to them again. The Crowe family didn't expect such a story and sat for a while, feeling overwhelmed and pondering everything that Hazel told them.

Harry finally asked, "Hazel, do you know what kind of person your parents were?"

"I think..." Hazel whispered with a touch of gentleness and regret between her eyebrows, "They were very good people."

"Since they were good people, of course, you should admit that they are your parents," Harry said calmly. But light flashed in his eyes, and he said something unpleasant, "However, what does Joshua want? Does he want to get close to you for the Denmark family's property?"

Hazel was speechless. Her parents really thought about everything for her.

She said, "Dad, Denmark's family's property had already been given to him. If he really wanted it, why did he look for me? Anyway, everyone thought that I was dead. Why would he continue to look for me? He also could've made me completely vanish into thin air with his power and resources. Why did he let me know my identity, let me return to the Denmark family, and why did he give everything back to me?"
