Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Ted came with Stacy. In the VIP private room in the holiday village, Hazel saw Stacy again.

But, unfortunately, her mental state seemed worse than ever before.

??

"Mom," Hazel shouted and was about to rise from her chair.

"Be careful." Joshua quickly held her up. "I'll help you walk."

"I'm fine." She looked at him and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Don't try to struggle." He frowned slightly.

She said helplessly, "Oh." Joshua had always been very nervous about her, even in front of Ted, which made her a little embarrassed because she knew that Ted didn't seem to want to see Joshua being nice to her. She subconsciously cast a glance at Ted. His face looked gloomy.

With Joshua's help, Hazel walked to Stacy. She took Stacy's hand lightly.

Stacy froze, her eyes resting on Hazel's stomach. Somehow, Hazel felt as if there was a flash of pain in her eyes. It was just that it faded away so fast that Hazel herself thought she had seen it wrongly.

"Let's talk," Hazel whispered. "It's your birthday, and I've got something for you."

Stacy listened to her obediently.

Joshua was relieved after helping Hazel sit down again.

Hazel presented Stacy with an exquisite ragdoll.

In an instant, Ted's eyes flashed with disgust.

Joshua said with a little displeasure in the voice, "The doll's eyes are made of agate stone, and its body is studded with pink diamonds that cost a hundred million dollars. This ragdoll isn't as cheap as you think.

"Hazel gives mom the doll because she wants to give her a little more emotional support. It's my idea to put on expensive accessories. After all, people like you, Mr. King, only care about the price of a gift in the digits. You don't care if the gift is wanted or not."

Ted had an extra look of embarrassment on his face.

Indeed, as Joshua said, when he saw the doll at first, he decided it was a cheap gift and that Hazel didn't take Stacy seriously. But when he took a closer look, he saw the value of the doll.

Joshua exposed his thoughts to tell him that he had never cared about anyone else's feelings. Joshua rebuked him, and he was angry, but he had to put up with it.

Besides, Stacy held the doll tightly. Even without her expressing her feelings, Ted could feel her love for the doll.

While Hazel was with Stacy, Ted awkwardly said, "Joshua, let's go for a walk. Let Hazel spend some time with your mother. I have something to say to you."

Joshua gave him a deep look and finally nodded.

They left the private room, but before that, they had lots of guards to protect the two women tightly.

Stacy cuddled the doll fondly. Her fingers ran lightly over its face as if she were a child.

"Little Mrs. King." A servant who followed Stacy stepped forward.

"Don't call me Little Mrs. King," Hazel said quietly. "Call me Mrs. Denmark."

She knew that Ted's subordinates didn't like to call her Little Mrs. King. In fact, she preferred Mrs. Denmark to Little Mrs. King.

The servant hesitated for a moment. Then she continued, "Mrs. Denmark, would you mind taking madam about for a walk? During these days, she has been hiding indoors and has not been out for a long time. The doctor said it was very bad for her health."

"Don't you usually take her out?" Hazel frowned.

"We wanted to, but madam didn't," said the servant helplessly. "Even if our master took her out, she would protest in silence. The doctor said that if she went on like this, even if she was given a massage every day, she would suffer muscle atrophy."

Hazel frowned more tightly.

When Stacy was in the nursing home, she was totally dazed, but she was cooperative. But now she didn't even want to move? It seemed that she was very unhappy at the manor. Joshua's idea of taking her back to Country Z with him was right.

"Good." Hazel nodded. She whispered a few words in Stacy's ear. Stacy didn't respond, but when Hazel helped her up, Stacy did as she asked.

"Come on, let's go out," Hazel chuckled and said.

"Thank you, Mrs. Denmark," the servant was relieved and said. Then she handed a coat to Hazel. "It's cold outside. Put it on, madam, please."

Hazel took the coat and put it on Stacy.

***

Ted and Joshua were on the golf course. Ted swung, and a white golf ball flew above the grass.

Joshua gave it an indifferent look.

After returning, Ted handed Joshua the club. "Won't you try?"

"I'm not interested," Joshua said quietly. "Well, Mr. King, since you want to celebrate the birthday of my mom, shouldn't you accompany her?"

"Of course, I'm going to spend the birthday with Stacy," Ted said with a soft glint in his eyes. But the next moment, he looked at Joshua with a solemn expression. "But if I can't solve the problems between us, restore our father-son relationship, and make the relationship between you and Simon return to normal, I believe she will also be very sad."

"but I think," said Joshua, his eyes turning deep, "that the only reason my mom is sad is that she has to see your face."

"You!" Ted glared at him. Joshua really did not give him face as Joshua actually said such words to hurt his pride!

"I have a great relationship with your mother," Ted retorted as his face darkened.

"Then why has she suffered for so many years?" Joshua sneered.

"If you want to know..." A hint of struggle flashed across Ted's face as he finally said, "I can explain that to you."

"Oh?" Joshua looked at him lightly and asked with a surprised face, "Are you going to tell me that you have no responsibility at all for all the pain my mother has been suffering?"

"This..." Ted looked a little dejected. He could not say so. It wasn't him who did those things that year, but because of him, Stacy was harmed.

"Come on, say it," said Joshua as there was rarely a little peace on his face."Let me hear your reasons for hurting my mom."
