Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1156 - 444: Still Angry?

Hazel's cheeks turned a little red, but her heart was happy.

In fact, she didn't even notice how Jaxson addressed her, but Joshua did. His care for her really made her very happy.

"Mrs. Denmark," Jaxson sensibly changed the address and explained, "in the Shawn family, Grandma Shawn calls the shots on everything. Katie Shawn used to be Mr. Shawn's illegitimate daughter. Later, Mrs. Shawn passed away, but Katie's mother tried to please Grandma Shawn, so she married Mr. Shawn. This sort of thing often happened in rich families, but Katie has a half-sister, Callie Shawn, who is appreciated by Grandpa Anderson and is engaged to Master Anderson."

"Isaac Anderson?" Hazel was amazed and couldn't help sighing with surprise. "Is she the girl I have seen before? What a small world."

Although Hazel had just seen her that time, she still remembered her as a pretty girl with gentle looks. She was completely different from Katie. However, Jaxson's ability to gossip was really impressive.

"Yes, that's him." Joshua nodded. "But he always thought that Grandpa Anderson was forcing him to have a commercial marriage, but he did not know Grandpa Anderson chose Callie Shawn because she and Isaac are a perfect match. Besides, their past is not that simple."

"The good news is that the marriage is good for Callie," Jaxson continued. "Katie and her mother have been bullying Callie, but with the help of the Anderson family, they don't dare to pick on her."

There was a flash of sharpness in Hazel's eyes, and she said quietly, "However, the fact that Callie Shawn has had such a good marriage makes Katie unhappy. She felt she could be a winner only if she married better than her sister, so she took aim at you.

With that, Hazel's eyes fell on Joshua. Joshua cocked his eyebrows slightly as the jealous look in her eyes really made him a little uncomfortable.

"Jaxson, get out. I need to speak to Hazel alone," Joshua spoke quietly.

Jaxson left wisely, but Hazel still sulked because she suddenly understood why they were bidding on the same pink diamond necklace with Katie at the auction.

Now come to think of it, it wasn't a coincidence. Katie must have got Joshua's number in advance, so she followed and bade against him. Then she tried to create an encounter and leave a good impression on Joshua.

Suddenly, Hazel looked up and found Joshua and her alone in the room.

Joshua came over to her and sat down on the sofa.

Hazel unconsciously tried to run, but he grabbed her by the wrist. The next moment, he firmly pulled her by the wrist to make her sit in his arms.

"You, you let go!" Hazel's cheeks started to turn red.

A smile curved his lips. He liked Hazel who only had a lust for him and only became passionate because of him.

"Honey, I think I need to prove my heart to you," he whispered vaguely in her ear.

"Who, who wants you to prove!" She shyly tried to push him away, but he held her tighter.

"No?" He chuckled. "Then why were you jealous?"

"Who was jealous!" She looked away angrily.

"Katie and whatnot, they don't have anything to do with me. I only love you. My heart always only beats for you," he whispered in her ear, his eyes flashing.

Then, with a chuckle, he kissed her ear and down her ear.

Hazel felt numbness danced as if he had started an endless fire in her heart. Trembling, she hurried to push him away.

"Be good—" He jokingly hugged her again. "Honey, I like you better when you're passionate because, at that time, your body is as honest as your heart."

"You… mmm!" She looked back at him angrily, but he firmly kissed her on the lips.

She was a bit sad to find that her body was so honest that she seemed ready to respond to Joshua's light tease.

But... No way...

Finally, she was so pressed on the sofa by him that she was almost breathless. Then she thrust him away.

"Still angry?" His eyes sparkled.

"You have so many suitors that they can queue up from Country Z to overseas. If I am angry just because someone likes you, am I not going to be killed by anger?" She gave him an unhappy look.

His fingers gently slid down her cheek as he asked in a low voice, "Then why did you reject me?".

"I don't want to… here," she whispered.

Hazel's face turned totally red when Joshua chuckled in her ear. Doing this kind of sex thing in his office really kept her on tenterhooks. Of course, what was more important was that she had other things to do today.

"Plus, I really have a business." Hazel pushed him away and got up from the sofa.

She showed him the clothes. "Give me some advice. Which one is better? I trust your judgment!"

Knowing Hazel's care for the Crowe family, Joshua didn't make trouble. He carefully helped Hazel choose some clothes more suitable for Rachel's style.

Suddenly, Joshua took out the blue dress and couldn't help furrowing his eyebrows slightly.

"Honey, who's this for?" He has a wicked eye. Not only is this not Rachel's style, but it's also even less Hazel's.

"I bought it for an aunt." She paused for a bit before she said quietly, "Aunt Katherine took me to visit one of her friends last time. I found that this dress fitted her very well, so I bought it."

He directly put his clothes down with a quiet "Mmm" and asked no more questions.

She didn't give up. "Why don't we go and visit her tomorrow?"

"Me?" He frowned. He was more or less surprised.

"Won't you want to?" She was a little disappointed.

"How could it be?" He smiled. "I'd be happy to go anywhere you want me to go with you. Honey, I thought you wanted Katherine Sanchez to go with you."

"That's a deal. Let's go together tomorrow." She smiled a little. If... Stacy Sloane saw Joshua, would it make a difference in their relationship? She really wanted to help. Maybe this was a way that she could try.

"Fine." Joshua nodded in agreement.
