Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1087 - 375: An Email

"However, no matter how different she may be, she is with Joshua Denmark." Chester Hill advised, "Young master, because of Joshua, both the illegal and legal forces in Country F are encircling us. Let's just leave Country F soon, or we will really get caught."

"You are saying that I can't compare it to Joshua?" Simon's smile was frozen.

"I, I..." There was sweat trickling down Chester's forehead, and he hurried to say, "I just said that it would be very difficult to take his woman."

"You are quite right." Simon said, "It is tough to rescue my sweetheart out of this protection. But... we can persuade her."

"Persuade?" Chester was a little worried. It was the first time he saw Simon paying so much attention to a woman.

Simon picked up the telescope and looked at Hazel's window again. When he saw that the light in her room was off, his face became ugly. He impatiently slammed the telescope across Chester's stomach and yelled, "Let's go! Now!"

Hearing his impatience, Chester stepped on the gas and sped away.

Most of the time, whenever Joshua left the castle, he took Hazel with him. They were thankful that nothing further happened, and as the trip was coming to an end, Hazel felt she could relax more.

Joshua's business was almost done, so he had more free time. He took Hazel to dinner at a fancy restaurant with a view of the entire city.

Hazel was looking out the window when Joshua suddenly said, "Hazel, where do you want to go?"

"Huh?" she replied. He caught her completely off guard.

"My business here is done." Joshua said faintly, "I can take you out to do whatever you like."

She didn't have any interest in Country F, she was eager to return home. At least, after returning home, there would be no need to worry about encountering something or a creepy somebody."

Hazel said directly, "There is nothing fun here. If the things on your side are completed, then let's go back home early."

Joshua frowned when he realized that Hazel really didn't seem to care for Country F. However, he smiled when he was about going home sooner than they had planned, it would be much easier to guarantee Hazel's safety.

"Okay." Joshua nodded. "I will arrange it. We will go back tomorrow."

"Alright." Hazel breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, they sat and enjoyed the scenery. Hazel took out her phone to take some pictures of the beautiful landscape when she saw an email notification.

She opened the email, shook her head, and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Joshua asked softly.

"Look at this email." Hazel handed the phone to him.

The email sent to Hazel was from a woman who claimed to be a friend of her biological mother. The woman attached a group photo that was taken at Cate's high school graduation.

The woman said in the email that she was currently living in Country F, that she had seen Hazel there and felt a sense of familiarity. She had contacted Sunny, who told her that she might have encountered the daughter of Marcus and Cate Denmark.

She also found out about Hazel's current situation, so she wanted to see her and tell her some old memories that might help to ease her mind. She received Hazel's email and phone number from Sunny but felt that calling might be too abrupt, so she sent an email first. She was hoping to spend some time with Hazel before she left.

"Do you think this is true?" Hazel looked at Joshua with anticipation.

"I can't see anything abnormal." Joshua frowned slightly. "There is nothing wrong with the content of the mail. However, she managed to get your email without much effort, which doesn't seem right."

Hazel was still confused about the entire matter with the Denmark family. Although Joshua had repeatedly told her that she was Marcus and Cate's daughter, she was still not confident since Mandy had the same birthmark.

If there was someone who could give her information about the past, Hazel did not want to miss out on the opportunity to meet with her. However, Joshua did have a point, it was indeed a strange situation.

"Shall we confirm her identity?" Hazel asked.

"Hazel, do you really want to see her?" Joshua looked at her strangely.

"... Yes." Taking a deep breath, Hazel finally said truthfully.

Joshua's eyes went dark, his fingers tapped gently on the table.

Hazel recognized his little quirks, she knew that he was hesitant. So, she thought for a moment and said, "The email clearly said that she got my email address from Aunt Sunny. Could we call her to confirm this lady is authentic?"

Joshua looked at Hazel quietly and asked, "You want to see her just because you want to confirm what happened in the past, right?"

"Yeah!" Hazel nodded hard.

"Alright." Joshua said, "After confirming her identity, I will go see her for you."

"Ah?" Hazel looked at him in confusion.

"Hazel, in this case, we should be cautious." Joshua said calmly, "We don't know whether or not it is a trap, right? I am going to get the information for you. You can stay at the castle and wait for me. When I get back, we will leave, okay?"

"Okay..." Hazel finally nodded. She knew Joshua was only worried about her safety.

Joshua contacted Sunny knowing that Cate did have a friend who settled in Country F, and she did confirm that the woman had contacted her.

After Joshua and Hazel discussed everything, they decided to follow the original plan and leave Country F the next day. But before leaving, Joshua would go to see the woman who claimed to be a friend of Cate's. Since her identity was confirmed, Hazel called the woman at the number she left in the email and arranged the meeting.

When the appointed time arrived, Joshua left Hazel at the castle and met Cate's friend. He took very few bodyguards with him, leaving most behind to protect Hazel. She was upset but could not argue with Joshua because he would not listen no matter what.
