Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Unable to hear her response, Isaac anxiously asked, "Hazel, are you all right?"

"Yeah, it is nothing." Hazel sucked in a deep breath. "I'm just asking."

"Really?" He was still worried.

"Really," she replied.

After a brief chat with Isaac, she hung up.

She went straight back to her dorm, she was thankful that Summer and Ariel weren't there.

She looked down at the chocolate box in her hand. She had actually brought it back, she threw it in the trash can without thinking twice.

Just as it hit the bottom of the can with a loud thud, her phone rang.

Looking at the two words "Joshua Denmark" on the screen, she stiffened. She just let the phone ring but then decided to answer it so she could hear his explanation.

"Hazel, haven't you arrived yet?" Joshua said in a low voice.

He was back at Denmark Residence, but Nanny Carter told him that Hazel didn't show up.

There was fear in his heart.

"I didn't want to go," Hazel said suddenly.

Joshua was somewhat surprised. He asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you sick?"

"No, I just didn't want to go." Hazel's voice was a little more annoying.

His expression got grave. When Hazel called him when he got off the plane, everything seemed to be fine. How did she change her attitude so quickly?

"Hazel, what happened?" he asked in a low voice.

"Nothing," Hazel said coldly. "Joshua, let's break up."

Rather than waiting for him to say it, she might as well say it first, either way, he would be happy, she thought.

"Hazel, no kidding." Joshua could not help frowning.

"I'm not kidding," she said, holding back her anger. "Joshua, I don't like you anymore. Go and be with someone you love!"

Ignoring her angry words, he said calmly, "Where are you now? I'll come to you."

"You do not need to come. I won't see you even if you do!" she hung up the phone in anger and set Joshua's name on the blocked list without hesitation.

What was wrong with him? She gave him what he wanted, but he was still going to pester her?

Joshua was furious when she hung up, he stood there staring at his phone.

Hazel left him so he could be with someone he loved. Who would that be if it wasn't her?

While he was thinking, his cell phone rang. He answered the phone irritably. "What?"

"Joshua, it's about Hazel. I feel there's something fishy going on," Isaac said in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Joshua felt nervous for a moment.

"I called Hazel today, and she suddenly asked me about your relationship with Vanessa," Isaac said. "I thought she was just jealous, so I didn't pay attention…"

Vanessa? Joshua's face changed at the thought of seeing her at the airport.

He suddenly understood the root of the problem.

"Isaac, what did you say?" he asked.

"Just tell the truth," Isaac recalled and told Joshua exactly what Hazel asked and how he responded. But Joshua could not guess from these conversations what Hazel had misunderstood. It seemed that she would still have to go to find her and explained the confusion.

"Thanks, Isaac," Joshua said in a low voice.

"You're welcome. You've also helped me solve a big problem." Isaac said heartily. "Alright, you had better go to find Hazel quickly. To tell you the truth, I really like this girl. If you can't get her back, I'll chase her."

"You won't have the chance," Joshua said calmly and quietly hung up.

He opened the car door and was about to get in.

"Mr. Denmark," Nanny Carter said to him, "are you going out immediately after you get back? At least take a shower and change your clothes."

"No, it's a little urgent." Joshua sat on the driver's seat and closed the door.

Joshua drove to Quantum University; he parked his car near the dorm then changed to a different cell phone, hoping she might answer, but her phone was turned off.

He was sure Hazel was in the dormitory. However, she would not come out to see him, so he would have to go in to find her himself. How would he get into the girls' dormitory, though?

To make the situation that much worse, today was Thanksgiving Day, the dormitory was filled with students, so he could not just sneak in.

Hazel did not want to be recognized anymore, meaning that he could not be too ostentatious getting into the building.

Joshua took out his phone and dialed the number of Quantum University's president.

Soon, students at Quantum University were told by their class counselors that there was an

important class meeting and that credits would be deducted if they did not come to go to their classrooms.

The whole school began to complain. It was loud for a long time with students complaining about getting credit deduction, but no one wanted to get credits deducted, so the students headed for their classrooms.

Joshua looked up at Hazel's dormitory room, his expression filled with determination.

No one would dare stop him if he tried to enter the girls' dormitory building, but if Hazel locked the door inside, it would not be easy for him to break in.

It seemed that he only had one other option.

Hazel was sitting on her bed trying to read, but she could not focus at all.

She was surprised to hear that the whole dormitory building was in an uproar as if they were extremely annoyed. But she was in her own bad mood and didn't care at all.

But before long, the whole building suddenly became quiet, and it left Hazel feeling very confused.

She was about to go out and see what was going on when Ariel and Summer came back.

Ariel said hello to her and went straight to the balcony.

Summer and Hazel talked for a while, and soon Ariel brought all the clothes inside.

"Let's go, Summer." Ariel made an OK gesture to Summer.

"Did you just come back to bring your clothes in?" Hazel looked at them in disbelief. "Couldn't you have just called me?"

"We were just passing downstairs, so we came up." Summer laughed. "Keep reading. We have other plans. No worries about us being an inconvenience."

As the two of them sped out of the dorm, Hazel was still a bit baffled.

She went to lock the door, then when she got back to her bed, she still could not concentrate on anything.

After all, she still couldn't just let it go. She frowned when she thought about Joshua, but she was quickly distracted by the strange sound coming from the balcony.

She was tense when she picked up a baseball bat on her way toward the balcony. She barely had the door open to see what was happening when a figure jumped over the railing. She swung the bat to hit the intruder, but he grabbed the bat suddenly.

He looked at her attentively, with anger and amusement. "Hazel, are you going to murder your husband?"
