Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Joshua raised his eyebrows slightly, and he reached out his hand to press against the car and stopped Hazel.

"Hazel, are you upset about what just happened?" He looked at her with deep eyes. He could sense that she wasn't just refusing to let him take her back to school, but it also seemed that she was secretly distancing herself from him.

Hazel was in her own world and suddenly felt like she was a little unreasonable. She did dislike the Flores family and was unhappy about Caroline's behavior, but it was nothing to do with Joshua.

Joshua was willing to be nice to the Flores family, which she certainly understood, and it was irrational that he refused to admit they were his family members because he had been abandoned.

Besides, Joshua was the person concerned, so wasn't he more anxious than she was? She could not continue to make trouble for him at this time. Besides, Joshua could see her displeasure in a simple sentence, which naturally showed that he did care a lot about her.

"No." She smiled as she shook her head. "I'm afraid you're busy. I don't mean anything else by it. Don't overthink."

His eyes twinkled. No matter whether Hazel had meant something else or not, she wouldn't talk about it now.

"Get in," he spoke quietly, "I'll take you back."

"Okay." She didn't say no this time.

They arrived at Quantum University's gate, and Hazel was about to get out of the car when Joshua grabbed her arm.

"Hazel, I'm not very good at relationships, so I don't know how to guess what a woman is thinking," he said earnestly, his eyes soft. "If I'm not good enough to make you happy, let me know."

Her heart softened as he still remembered the incident. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, smiled, and said, "I will."

The kiss reassured Joshua a lot. The smile on his lips was gentler. "The school bell is still being held tomorrow night, isn't it?"

"Yes!" She nodded heavily. "You must come!"

"Of course." He smiled. "I'm looking forward to it."

His phone rang immediately after Hazel left. It was Jaxson. Joshua answered the phone with anticipation.

"Jaxson, have you figured it out?" His fingers tapped on the steering wheel.

"Yes," Jaxson said. "Mrs. Flores contacted an agency and found those women under the guise of finding a maid for you."

"Who gave her the idea? Why is the agency so efficient? Is there anyone behind the scene?" Joshua asked, his eyes a little cold.

"This…" Jaxson was a bit embarrassed because he hadn't really thought about these questions.

However, after Joshua reminded him, he also found it highly questionable. Even if Caroline could come up with an idea of planting people around Joshua, how could she know she should go to an agency? She had no idea how these things happened.

More coincidentally, she found the most suitable agency, and the agency found enough women in three days, which was even more questionable.

"I'll investigate it now." Jaxson hastened to say.

"Mm." Joshua continued asking, frowning, "Have they done anything unusual these days?"

"No," Jaxson replied. "The Flores couple are still shopping and spending money everywhere as usual. Henry spends his days drinking and going to bars…"

Joshua's eyes turned a little colder as he listened to Jaxson's report. He trusted his men. The Flores family's behavior didn't seem normal, but his men could not find more details.

Not finding things showed that other parties mean we're smarter and more cautious. The other party was secretly contacting the Flores family right in front of them.

"Keep an eye on Henry," Joshua said in a deep voice. "After he goes to the bar, find out who he meets and who he sits with!"

"I see!" Jaxson spoke at once.

When he hung up, Joshua's eyes were darker. The opponent this time was really not simple because whoever it was, was obviously well-prepared. Furthermore, the person's reason was difficult to determine, so he had to be more careful.

Quantum University's anniversary was in the next few days. Hazel's college prepared a maid's café, the boys dressed as maids and the girls dressed as waiters. Hazel's good looks got her a spot as one of the waiters.

Early in the morning, Ariel and Summer waited for Hazel to return to the dorm room. They had not yet seen her waiter outfit, so they were very looking forward to it.

Ariel called her several times urgently, but she didn't answer the phone.

They were waiting anxiously when there was a knock on the door of their room.

"I'll get the door." Ariel ran to the door hurriedly, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw a bunch of red roses held by a handsome boy.

The boy leaned against the doorframe and gave the roses to Ariel with a smile curving his lips. "To you, my beloved fairy."

Ariel's face turned red instantly, but the next moment, she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, "Ele, Hazel?"

Hazel was dressed respectably as a waiter, her long hair was tucked away in a beret, and she looked very handsome. If she hadn't lived with Hazel for four years and she would have known her so well, she wouldn't have recognized her so quickly.

"Yeah," Hazel chuckled and walked in with the bouquet. "Where's Summer? Hurry up and come with me to the classroom…"

Summer had just come out of the bathroom, and she was shocked to see Hazel. But before she could speak, she heard Ariel's cry with grief and indignation, "Hazel Crowe!"

Ariel then rushed at Hazel, very annoyed. Hazel was startled and dodged before asking dazedly, "What's wrong with you, Ariel?"

"Hazel, I hate you!" Ariel looked heart-stricken.

"Why?" Hazel was more confused.

"Why tease me if you can't marry me?!" Ariel has clenched her teeth. "I, this fairy, have been moved, okay?!"

Hazel didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She just had done it spur-of-the-moment, but she didn't expect Ariel would take it seriously.

"Ha ha! You deserve it!" Summer looked at Hazel, gloating. "If you hadn't come in and grinned cheekily, even I would have been fooled."

"Does it look that real?" asked Hazel in surprise.

"Yes!" Ariel and Summer said in unison.

Then Summer threw a mirror at her and said, "Hazel, you just don't know what you look like!"
