Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Joshua had warned them before they asked.

"Hazel, how old are you?" Isaac asked, clearly cheating.

"Twenty," Hazel replied.

They all looked at Joshua in unison, with a look of conviction.

"Shame on you!"Isaac said, looking at Joshua. "You're robbing the cradle!"

"Oh," said Joshua, with a calm air, "you can't do it."

In an instant, Isaac stared at him with a sad, angry face.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Hazel reminded them with embarrassment.

"What part of Joshua do you admire most, sister-in-law?" Chuck asked wickedly.

The crowd began to cheer again, and Hazel was very speechless.

She looked at Joshua unconsciously. When she flashed a glance at some part of him, her cheeks turned red instantly.

"Chest…" Hazel said after thinking for a bit.

He had an incredible body. Every time she thought of it, her face would get hot.

The crowd began to cheer again while Vanessa's envy grew more intense.

Her eyes twinkling, she smiled softly and asked suddenly, "Hazel, did you have a first love?"

"Yes." Hazel looked at Vanessa helplessly. Vanessa's hostility to her was so strong that she had tricked her again and again.

"Who is he?" Kenny asked curiously.

"Him." Hazel smiled softly, looking at Joshua.

She was emotionally shut off before meeting Joshua, so she doesn't feel any love towards him.

She had a smile on her lips when Joshua suddenly kissed her.

The others sighed with grief, clearly trying to embarrass Joshua and Hazel, but they had to watch their public display of affection in the end.

"What do you want to ask?" Hazel asked, blushing.

"I have nothing to ask," Joshua said calmly. "Let's start the next round."

As the game went on, Isaac was unlucky enough to draw the Joker twice. Then he did two stupid things that made people laugh, which made him so angry that he said if he got the Joker again, he wouldn't play anymore.

His words seemed to work, and then Vanessa got the Joker.

"I choose 'Dare," said Vanessa quickly.

Joshua wouldn't protect her. Who knew whether or not Hazel would ask her to do something embarrassing? However, she did know which one she should choose as the punishment of the game!

"Come on, draw lots." Kenny passed her a cardboard box of papers.

Vanessa shook the cardboard box. Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she took out a piece of paper and handed it back to Kenny.

"Read it for me, I can't bear to do it," she said.

Joshua's eyes grew deep, and he suddenly grabbed Hazel's arm and pulled her gently into his arms.

Hazel screamed in a low voice as her cheeks were flushed instantly.

What was Joshua doing? His friends were still here, but he actually cuddled her so intimately in front of them?

As she tried to speak, Joshua raised his index finger and laid it gently on her lips. He whispered, "Be good, let me hold you."

Hazel was going to say something when she heard Kenny read it out. "Kiss the nearest person for a minute!"

"Closest to Vanessa?" Isaac laughed. "Isn't that Joshua?"

Since the game began, Vanessa had been sitting next to Joshua while Hazel was on the other side of Joshua, but Hazel and Joshua were sitting on the same couch and were more intimate, so people didn't notice it.

But did Vanessa and Joshua have to kiss now?

Everyone looked at Joshua, and Isaac said in surprise, "When did you two start cuddling?"

Vanessa pinched her palm again, but the next moment her eyes flashed with anticipation and pride.

Hazel clenched her teeth in shame and anger. She was about to stand up when Joshua held her in his arms with more strength.

"Mr. Denmark, go and execute the punishment," Isaac said as he gloated.

"Isn't that enough, Isaac?" Joshua spoke with a faint smile.

"What's wrong with that? It's just a game," Chuck said. "Isaac drew a lot and had to pretend to be a couple with the person next to him. Didn't I cooperate helplessly?"

"Right, right, no exception…" Isaac said as he laughed.

"You're wrong. I'm not the nearest to Vanessa," Joshua said quietly. "It's Kenny."

Kenny was indeed sitting on the other side of Vanessa.

But when Kenny was reading out the punishment, Vanessa sat closer to Joshua, so Joshua was closer to her.

"What?" Isaac shouted, "You're clearly closer!"

"Do you have such bad eyes?" Joshua cocked his brows."Can't you see Hazel between Vanessa and me?"

Hazel was stunned. She suddenly understood why Joshua wanted to hold her in his arms.

She was in Joshua's arms now, but she's closer to Vanessa than he was.

Did he know what was going to happen, so he was using her as a shield?

All the people quieted down, and Kenny said hastily, "Forget the punishment. Let's draw lots again."

"It's just a game. No exception," Hazel suddenly spoke.

That was what they said to Joshua, and now she was saying it back to them. Vanessa had been trying to steal her boyfriend away, so Hazel was more or less a little angry.

Vanessa had planned to walk through it, but now she could only choke her words back.

But did they really want her to kiss Kenny? She was very aggravated. Then she took a deep breath, and an idea came to her.

"But Hazel is closest to me," Vanessa said as if he was in a dilemma. "You can't let me kiss Hazel, right? Or, let's change the terms…"

"Don't change," Joshua said quietly. "Hazel's willing to sacrifice."

Vanessa's face changed.

Hazel looked at him glumly. "Do you want to sacrifice your girlfriend for keeping yourself safe?"

"Are you going to watch your boyfriend kiss another woman?" he whispered quietly. "Aren't you afraid that she would change the terms to the nearest man?"

Hazel thought for a moment that she would be angry and disgusted actually to see Vanessa and Joshua kiss.

"All right," Hazel looked at Vanessa painfully. "It's a game, and it's just a kiss. I'll sacrifice myself. But don't use your tongue."

Chuck and the other men coughed and looked at Joshua with an air of tease.

Hazel was stunned for a bit and suddenly realized why they acted like this. Did they think that just because Joshua kissed her like that, she said that?
