Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Joshua felt nothing but excruciating pain in his chest. Hazel was trying to say something. He already understood but did not want to accept it.

"Hazel, you don't want the identity as the Denmark family's daughter, or..." Joshua asked with some confusion. "You don't even want me?

Hazel cried out louder and couldn't stop. "Joshua, I'm sorry, sorry..."

Joshua's voice trembled as he continued to make a final effort. "Hazel, what happened? If it is because your parents disagree, I can find a way..."

"No, it's not because of my parents' reason, it's me," Hazel wiped the tears, and she said, "Joshua, we are not suitable."

Regardless of whether her parents agree or not, her true identity would bring danger to the people around her.

She couldn't be so selfish.

"Hazel, don't do this to me," Despair began to spread in his heart. Joshua said with sadness, "Do you know how cruel this is?"

"I'm sorry, Joshua, I am really sorry," Hazel burst into tears. "We should break up..."

Joshua's face was pale. Hazel really didn't want to be with him, and he felt her willpower.

Why is he always being abandoned?

He was an orphan and did not know who his parents were. After being adopted by the Denmark Family, his adoptive parents were very nice and smoothed his scars.

But then there was the accident that killed the only man he knew as a father, not long after, the woman who treated him like her son was so depressed that she passed away.

He still had nightmares about his mother holding his hand and saying she was sorry, but she would be with her husband and daughter. He felt complete abandonment at that time.

Over the years, he had been unaware of why he was alive. He managed Denmark Group only because his adoptive parents left it, he thought he would live alone forever, but then Hazel appeared.

She lit a fire in his life, and he felt he had a reason to live. He wanted to spoil her and give her a happy life, not only because she was the daughter of the Denmark family but because he loved her.

As long as she was willing to be with him, no matter who was working against them, he felt he had the confidence to accomplish anything.

But now, Hazel didn't want him.

What was the point of working hard for everything?

"Hazel, didn't we had a deal before? No matter what happened, you wouldn't give up on me." Joshua closed his eyes in pain, and he said almost desperately, "Please, Hazel, don't treat me like this. Hazel, I can give you anything you want..."

Hazel was shocked.

Joshua, in her mind, has always been so proud, handsome, and impenetrable. He was always so elegant and calm. No matter what happened, he could always fix it.

But now, he was humbly begging her, he put his dignity on the line to ask her not to go.

Hazel felt his pain, and tears poured out again.

Why? Why was she the Denmark family's daughter? Why was she not the biological daughter of her parents?

"Joshua, don't force me..." Hazel burst into tears, and she really couldn't reject him.

Joshua's heart gradually sank when he heard her cries.

Did he actually make Hazel feel so much pain? What he wanted to give to her was always just happiness.

His heart was full of sorrow and grief. Joshua went to the balcony and looked up at the dark night sky.

He did not want Hazel to suffer any pain, and she must be feeling the pain to leave him.

"Oh, don't cry," he whispered softly.

Hazel still cried sadly.

"Hazel, since you feel like it is difficult to make a decision, let me do." He grabbed the railing on the balcony and opened his mouth.

Hazel stopped crying, and she sobbed silently.

"I will give you what you want. If you want me to let go, I..." Joshua only felt that his throat was blocked. He took a deep breath and hardened his heart. "I let you go. Hazel, we are over."

Joshua hung up the phone.

When she heard what she wanted to hear, Hazel felt even sadder. The sorrow of the tide seemed to have drowned her.

Her entire heart felt empty. It was over. She and Joshua made it through so much, only to break up in the end.

She cried helplessly on the pillow, letting her tears flow freely.

***

In the morning, Ronald made a large breakfast. Harry and Rachel sat at the table.

Rachel looked at the breakfast and asked, "Did you leave some for Hazel?"

"I have already left something for her." Ronald frowned. "But..."

"What is it?" Harry asked.

"I took dinner to Hazel yesterday, and she did not eat anything." Ronald sighed.

"Hazel, will not eat anything?" He is furious and anxious. "If she wants to be angry with us, fine, but she should take care of herself!"

Ronald was hesitant because he knew Hazel very well, and she would never use such a fierce method to anger them. He felt anxious, if she still hadn't eaten, something must have happened.

"I will go upstairs and check on her." Harry put down his fork.

Rachel also put down her fork and followed Harry, but she turned back and said, "Hazel?"

Hazel was walking downstairs, her face was pale, and her eyes were swollen from crying. Ronald's heart hurt looking at her.

What on Earth happened? Why did he think that Hazel now was dealing with a much greater pain?

"Hazel, what happened?" Ronald greeted with a worried face. "What happened to you?"

"I'm fine. Brother, don't worry." Hazel squeezed a smile.

But her smile made the three people even more worried. They have never seen Hazel look like that, her eyes were so red, and she was clearly crying all night.

Rachel was very distressed and said with anger in her voice, "Hazel, just because you are not allowed to be with Joshua, you are doing this to yourself?"

"Mom, don't be angry, Joshua and I..." There was a pain in her eyes, but Hazel never knew that only mentioning his name could make her heartache. She took a deep breath and kept the smile on her face as she whispered, "We have broken up."

"Breaking up is not a big deal, you... what? Broke up?!" Rachel looked at her with surprise. Harry and Ronald's facial expression was unbelievable.

"That bastard, he abandoned you so soon?" Harry growled. "It was true that those rich guys are bad guys!"

"Dad, you misunderstood." Hazel sighed sadly, she had already injured Joshua and could not let him carry some unwarranted charges. "It was me who said we should break up, and he agreed."
