Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1269 - 557: She Wanted To See Him

"Barry, what did Joshua ask you to do?" Ted asked in a deep voice.

"Master Joshua asked me to investigate Miss Crowe." Barry hurried to reply, "I've just finished investigating Miss Crowe, and I am going to send the related documents to Master Joshua."

"Don't send," Ted said, looking very pale. "Hide it so that Joshua can't see them!"

Barry froze. He had read the related documents. If he was right, Joshua and Hazel should be married, but according to Ted's remark… Was Ted not going to recognize Hazel as his daughter-in-law?

He followed Joshua now, but he had always been Ted's men. Despite some reluctance in his heart, he agreed.

"Also, you do something on behalf of Joshua," Ted ordered coldly.

"What is it?" Barry asked blankly.

After hearing Ted's statement, Barry felt sorry for Joshua and Hazel because Ted seemed determined to break up Joshua and Hazel.

"... This isn't a good idea, is it?" Barry, who was trapped in a dilemma, asked.

"What's wrong with that?" Ted said in a cold tone. "How can a dissolute woman like that be good enough for my son? Besides, are you going to let her set Joshua against his younger brother?"

Barry had no choice but to agree.

***

Hazel woke up from bed with a sweet smile on her lips.

It had been a long time since she had slept so soundly, and she had had such a clear dream last night of a very real Joshua.

Her body unconsciously turned over, and she reached out her hands, but she only touched the empty quilt.

She opened her eyes somewhat blankly and looked up into the room. In an instant, she felt muddleheaded.

This was not her room. This was a completely strange room.

Hazel gradually came to her senses, and memory came back to her mind little by little before she felt puzzled.

It seemed she had been kidnapped yesterday?!

So was the Joshua she dreamed about last night true or false?

But the pain between her legs was so clear, constantly reminding her what happened last night was not a dream at all, and it was real!

What?!

In a flash, Hazel just felt like her brain crashed like a computer, and she really didn't know what was going on.

That was to say, she did have sex with someone, but was it really Joshua last night, or did she mistake someone who looked like Joshua for him?

No, she couldn't be mistaken.

The man last night was Joshua!

Hazel felt as if her heart would jump out of her throat. For a moment, she didn't even know why Joshua kidnapped her or why he blindfolded her.

Anyway, now she only thought about one thing.

She wanted to see him.

No matter what had happened, it would be fine as long as Joshua was alive.

She wanted to tell him how much she missed him. She really couldn't live without him. She wanted to tell him that they had a child who was very healthy.

Warm tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. She wiped them away and got out of bed in a panic. There was already a clean suit of clothes by the bed. They were apparently prepared for her. She put on the clothes and hurried to open the door.

It so happened that Barry also came to the door. He looked at Hazel with mixed feelings.

"What's your master's name?" Hazel's eyes lit up. "Where is he now? I want to see him!"

Barry's eyes flashed with a touch of guilt. He nodded and said, "Miss Crowe, please follow me."

Hazel hurried to follow him, but Barry led her to walk straight out of the villa.

When she came to the car, Barry directly opened the door. "Miss Crowe, please get in."

"Get in?" Hazel looked at him blankly. "Isn't your master here? Or has he prepared some surprise for me?"

"You'll know when you get in," Barry said. He looked away apologetically. It would be a shock instead of a surprise to her.

Hazel got into the car and didn't doubt him. After all, she had heard Barry's voice yesterday. He was a man around Joshua indeed.

She would not doubt Joshua, either. Although she had doubts in her heart, she was more willing to believe that Joshua wanted to give her a surprise.

It didn't matter. As long as they met, no matter what kind of problem there would be, it would be readily solved. Hazel looked out the window expectantly.

The car took Hazel directly to Times Square in the Imperial Capital.

Simon had been waiting there with Madeline, and he had already had the whole square emptied. Now the whole square was empty.

He didn't expect Joshua would actually agree to the exchange of hostages after Madeline made a phone call.

It wasn't Joshua who answered the phone to agree, but it was a veteran around Ted, and Simon had met him before.

Therefore, Simon took his men to wait early. He wanted to see if he could really meet Joshua and if he could get Hazel back.

Soon a car pulled into the square and stopped near Simon's.

The door opened, and Hazel stepped out of the car.

Simon's pupils shrank at the sight of Hazel.

Of course, he wanted to see Hazel, especially a safe Hazel. But now that he could see her, it meant... Joshua really handed Hazel over to Simon for Madeline?!

After getting out of the car, Hazel looked around blankly.

"Where is your master?" She looked back at Barry.

Barry looked at Simon's car. Simon got out of the car with a sullen face, and Madeline was dragged off the car by his men.

"What's the matter?" Hazel was completely at a loss.

"Miss Crowe, please go over there," Barry said.

Looking at Simon, who stood on the opposite side, Hazel felt more confused.

She walked towards Simon. Madeline was also released by Simon and was walking towards her.

Hazel didn't know what was going on right now at all. This was a very strange situation for her.

The moment when she and Madeline walked past each other, Madeline suddenly wore a complacent smile. "Hazel Crowe, I won while you're the one who is abandoned!"

Hazel gave her a puzzled look. "What are you talking about?"

Madeline gave out a dismissive sneer and hurried off in Barry's direction.

When Hazel came to Simon, she didn't even know that the two sides had directly completed the exchange of the hostages before she knew it.

She asked blankly. "What's going on? Where's Joshua?"
