Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"A little." He smiled quietly. "Our father loved to go fishing."

"That's good..." She looked confused. If the Denmark family's daughter had not been stolen, there would not have been so many incidents. Whether she was the baby or not, at least her life would not be a mess.

"Come here, let me teach you," he whispered.

She took the fishing rod from his hand just as huge raindrops began to fall.

"It's really going to rain!" She raised her head in disbelief.

Summer rain always came down hard, and out of nowhere, they were completely soaked by the time they got back to the car.

Looking at the overcast sky, Hazel was a bit disappointed. Enough fun, enough madness. It was time to go back. But...

"Joshua, I really don't want to go back." She raised her eyes.

"Who says we're going back?" He said quietly, "We're eloping."

She was always so entertained by him.

He drove to a nearby village and knocked on the door of a farmhouse. It was an ordinary-looking woman who opened the door.

Joshua calmly took out a few hundred-dollar bills and handed them over to her. "Excuse me, my wife and I were caught in heavy rain. It's too late now. Can we spend a night in your house?"

My wife...

When Hazel heard him call her his wife, she blushed.

"Come on in, it's raining hard." The woman just took one bill. "That's enough."

"Take it," said Joshua, but all the rest bills in her hand, "and I'll ask you to buy something later."

After that, Joshua and Hazel walked into the farmhouse. The woman took them to a clean and humble room. She brought clean towels to the room for them to dry off.

"I have asked my son to buy the bath basin and clean clothes you wanted." The woman handed the towels to Joshua. "Dry yourselves first. Rest assured, the towels are new, we haven't used them."

Joshua thanked her, took the towels, and went to Hazel.

Hazel was about to take one of them when Joshua whispered, "Let me help you."

"Is that good?" Her cheeks turned a little red.

"Of course not. We're married in the eyes of others." He smiled as he took a towel and gently rubbed her body.

She blushed even more, his doting smile was hard to resist. The word 'married' left her heart feeling happy. The temperature in the air seemed to rise a bit as the towel was rubbed over her body, making her skin pink.

"Very hot?" He frowned. "Are you uncomfortable?"

"No, no." She shook her head in a hurry. She wasn't uncomfortable. She was just too shy.

Then she hurried to change the subject, afraid that he might continue asking further. "I never expected we would run away. It isn't that funny, and it's kind of hard."

"Shall we find a hotel later?" He looked around. "The conditions here are really a little terrible."

"No, no," she disagreed quickly. "We're here to escape. We don't have to be so particular about it. Let's experience a different life."

"Good." He agreed with a smile and gently undid her dress.

With so much skin exposed in the air, she became shyer. She turned her head away. "As a matter of fact, if possible, I want to find a place with picturesque scenery and few people."

As she smiled and her eyes sparkled, she thought that way there wouldn't be so many issues.

"What does it look like?" he asked in a low voice, continuing to rub her body.

"There should be a lake nearby so that I can make time to go fishing. There should be a mountain behind the house so that I can go climbing in my spare time." She smiled as she couldn't help imagining.

"Don't you need a flower field?"

"No," she said, shaking her head. "Natural flowering is the most beautiful."

"What's the house like?" He asked.

"I want it to have a big fireplace so that I can sit next to it and keep warm in the winter. There needs to be a spiral staircase so that I can sit on the railing and slide down. Oh, and a fat cat so it can take a nap with me by the fireplace. Also, a dog so that he can keep the cat company…"

He listened quietly. "What about your room?" he continued asking.

"My room," she said after thinking for a bit, "It will have a big, round bed. It's a room full of my favorite dolls, and there's a big balcony with a view of the lake in the distance. I had better get a swing chair or something."

He didn't say anything but kept it all in mind.

Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Joshua because, most importantly, she hoped he would be in that house.

A sudden cold wind came, and she couldn't help sneezing. He picked up the blanket and wrapped it around her body.

"This blanket is very clean. Put it around you," he whispered.

Her body was warmed, and she looked at him quietly while he was thoughtfully drying her hair.

Hazel knew the thoughts of the house with a big fireplace, was just her unrealistic dreams; they still had so many disturbing things to face. How could it be possible for them to find the home of her dreams to hide in?

"I was joking," she said with a slightly depressed smile. "If there really were a place like that, I would probably get sick of it in a few days. Besides, I can't live without a cell phone or a computer. If I can't go shopping, how boring would that be?! I would be better off living in the city."

Joshua's eyes were a little deep as if he were thinking.

All of a sudden, there was a noise at the gate, followed by a man complaining, "Mom, it's raining so heavily, why did you want me to buy it?"

The voice was vaguely familiar. Joshua slightly raised his eyebrows while Hazel looked a little embarrassed. Could it actually be that coincidental?

"Stop complaining and give it to the guests," scolded the woman.

Joshua opened the door, and the red-haired many they had beaten up was standing there.
