Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1204 - 492: Who Made Up With Him?

She was so furious that her whole face twisted. Except that she had suffered a setback due to Simon, she had been very successful in all her life since she was born. She had never suffered such a huge setback!

Besides, unfortunately, her family couldn't help her now, and she was afraid to tell them what she had done.

The Carter family was unaware that her relationship with Simon had long been hopeless. They were still dreaming of becoming Simon's in-laws, so they always supported Simon. If they knew Madeline acted on her own, they would likely take her home and lock her up!

At present, she couldn't rely on her family. Simon didn't cooperate with her either. Hence, she could only depend on herself.

But... Thinking of Joshua, she calmed down a lot and felt satisfied. Sure enough, she had sharp eyes this time. Joshua was good-looking and so capable that he found her little tricks in such a short time.

How would such a good man really like Hazel Crowe, who was a stupid woman? She heard something about Joshua and Hazel. It was clearly because Joshua wanted to repay the Denmark family that he was so nice to Hazel.

At the thought of that, Madeline was more confident. Soon, she got word that Joshua and Hazel were going to the barbecue tonight.

Madeline's eyes lit up. This was a good chance to get close to Joshua!

***

That night, Joshua woke Hazel up, and then they went to the barbecue together. The barbecue festival was hosted by the resort village where top-class chefs and some entertainment. Of course, Hazel's focus was always on food.

She liked the lively environment. Besides, this was the resort village's barbecue festival, which only invited VIP customers, so Joshua didn't clear the place.

Joshua and Hazel went to the hall. Joshua was very considerate and helped her get a lot of seafood, which was placed on the whole table.

But as soon as he sat down, a man pulled out a chair and sat down opposite them.

Joshua looked up, and his cold eyes went dark instantly.

"Why are you here?" Hazel asked uncomfortably. It was not that she was impolite but that Simon was sitting right opposite them.

She didn't forget that last time Joshua threatened Simon's life and seriously injured him in an attempt to save her.

Seeing him again, she felt a little guilty but very wary. After all, in her opinion, Simon's relationship with Joshua must be very bad. Simon appeared now probably for revenge.

"Of course I've come to see you, Pumpkin," Simon said frivolously.

This naked flirting made both Hazel and Joshua look unhappy.

"Your wound is healing quickly," Joshua spoke coldly.

"I haven't recovered, but I can't die." Simon retorted. He was only able to move freely now. His wounds were still in bandages.

He wouldn't have come if he hadn't known Madeline was following Hazel and Joshua. Of course, even if he did, he was not going to help either of them. He just wanted to watch a drama. He just wanted to see what Joshua would do with Madeline.

Hazel was in a trance. She could feel Joshua and Simon were waging a tit-for-tat struggle against each other… but it was still not quite right!

"You made it up?" she asked, stunned. She felt that way for some reason!

"Who made up with him?" Simon looked scornful and turned his head awkwardly.

"Ignore him," Joshua also avoided the subject. He picked up a shrimp and peeled it expertly. "What else do you want? Do you want to get it for you?"

She was even more surprised.

She asked the question casually just now, but now she was absolutely sure that Joshua and Simon had definitely made it up!

No, it couldn't be said that they had made it up, but there was definitely no atmosphere like they wanted to fight to the death. What happened to them? Hazel's doubts deepened. It seemed unbelievable to her, so she could not figure it out.

Simon looked at the seafood in front of him, a little surprised. "Can both of you eat so much?"

"I want to eat so much!" Hazel unceremoniously moved the seafood in front of him towards her. "Seafood is stimulating food. If you are still injured, don't eat it."

"..." Simon was very speechless. It sounded like Hazel cared about him, but why did he think she was just worried about him grabbing food from her. "What can I eat if you take it all away?"

"Isn't there enough air for you to eat?" Joshua said lightly. He handed the peeled shrimp to Hazel. Hazel's cheeks turned a little red before her mouth opened, and she bit the shrimp.

Simon was so angry that he wanted to leave. They were too bad as they were actually really so lovey-dovey in front of him.

However, even if he was hugely dissatisfied, he had no choice because it was their "cooperation period" now, and Joshua clearly intended to disgust him. Simon sneered and sat down casually. He wanted to see if Joshua and Hazel could be so into public displays of affection from the beginning to the end.

But he was wrong. They really continued to keep lovey-dovey as if no one was watching.

Hazel's mind was captivated by food, while Joshua saw only her, constantly helping her with food, pouring water, and even carefully wiping her greasy hands and lips.

Simon was very regretful. If he had known that, he might as well have left! Now he had watched them enough!

Suddenly, a passerby who was passing by them stumbled. The beer he was holding spilled on Joshua's sleeve!

"I'm sorry, Sir, I didn't mean to..." The passerby steadied himself and apologized eagerly to Joshua. He picked up a napkin on the table and tried to wipe it for Joshua.

Joshua's face turned cold and dodged calmly. "No need!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." The passersby apologized repeatedly.

"It doesn't matter, we'll wipe ourselves." The passerby didn't leave until Hazel waved her hands and comforted him.

Simon laughed like a fox. This was not an accident. It looked like Madeline couldn't wait anymore. Joshua' mind was all on Hazel, so this passerby could spill the beer on his sleeve.

"I'm going to change my clothes," Joshua whispered.

"I'll go with you." Hazel gave the food on the table a reluctant look, but eventually, she stood up.

"No need." he shook his head slightly. "You keep eating, and I'll be right back."
