Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1281 - 569: Is That Fair?

His eyelids twitched slightly.

In a flash, her face turned ashen as she said with exasperation, "Joshua, don't tell me you're going to use yourself as bait to lure him to you!"

It wasn't strange she would think so. Ian Flores had been trying to kill Joshua, so Joshua was in distress while he was on Stacy Island. If Ian knew Joshua was alive, Ian would do that again!

Joshua sighed helplessly in his heart. Is Hazel always so sensitive and intelligent? "I'll be more careful, Hazel..."

"Can it be solved as long as you're careful?" She got angry instantly. There was a layer of white mist in her eyes. "Weren't you careful last time? Joshua, will you stop venturing?"

Looking at her eyes, which were sparkling with tears, he felt his whole heart was filled with pain.

"All right, all right, I promise you I won't risk my life or use myself as bait anymore." He promised a whisper. Knowing that he was still alive, Ian Flores would come to him anyway, and there was no need for him to upset Hazel.

"Mmm..." She couldn't refrain from smiling through tears.

After lunch, Joshua suddenly brought Hazel back to Quantum University.

Walking on the campus of the university, she looked at him curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to come here?"

"I want to get my memory about us back," he said gently. "It's too unfair that you're the only one who knows the past.

She looked a little embarrassed. Is that unfair?

"Have I ever walked around the campus holding hands with you like this before?" he asked quietly.

"... No." She shook her head, slightly complaining, "It is because of you that I became a hit in the university. If you appeared next to me several times, then I would be surrounded by people all the time…."

Because of this, Hazel hated Joshua coming to Quantum University, so there was no chance for them to walk around the campus hand in hand. Even when Joshua drove her to the university, she insisted on getting out of the car outside the school and driving Joshua to leave.

Come to think of it, Hazel suddenly thought she used to be very stupid. Why should she care what other people think when she was with Joshua? Besides, even though Joshua seldom appeared in the university, the affair between her and Joshua never stopped. She was pretty much always been a celebrity.

Now she graduated, her affair completely quieted down at Quantum University. After all, who would remember this after her classmates graduated?

While recalling, Hazel felt she was deceiving herself at that time.

"Did I really embarrass you that much?" Joshua sighed helplessly.

"No, no!" Hazel explained, panicky, "It was me who take such small things to heart at that time, you have been humoring me."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and she coughed.

"What's the matter? Have you caught a cold?" he asked nervously. "Let's leave to see the doctor right now."

"It's not that...." She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Joshua cared about her too much. "I was a little thirsty, so I coughed. I'm fine."

"Then I'll buy you a bottle of water." He looked at the supermarket not far away, looked back at Hazel, and helped her go to a stone bench. "Sit here and wait for me."

With that, he took off his suit jacket and spread it on the stone bench without hesitation.

Her heart was warm. Joshua was as considerate as ever.

She sat down on the stone bench and said with a smile, "Just go, I'll wait for you to come back."

He strode to the supermarket. Looking at his back, her eyes were filled with a warm smile.

"Hazel?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in the ear. She frowned with some displeasure.

The voice couldn't make her happy. She looked back and saw Derek standing nearby with a mixture of surprise and joy.

It gave her a headache.

Derek's family was at Imperial Capital, and his family was relatively well off. After graduation, he stayed at the Imperial Capital, so it was not unusual for him to return to Quantum. Although it was not impossible for her to meet him, she did not want to meet him.

After all, it seemed that every time she met Derek, something bad would definitely happen.

"What do you want?" she asked indifferently.

"That..." Derek was hugely surprised to see Hazel in front of him. After graduation, Hazel seemed more and more beautiful. The biggest change was in her temperament.

Hazel used to be beautiful, but she appeared a little wild. However, now she looked so graceful and noble. Just looking at her, Derek didn't dare to approach her somehow.

Hazel frowned more tightly. There was a flash of displeasure in her eyes. Derek actually stared at her foolishly... She felt sick for some reason.

"What do you want?" she asked coldly.

He came to his senses and hurried to speak, "Well, our monitor is going to have a class reunion recently. Do you want to come?"

"No, I'm not interested," she said with an indifferent expression.

"Hazel, I think you'd better go out to get some fresh air if you have time," he said, with an indefinable hint in his eyes. "Then maybe you'll find out that there's a lot of good things in the world..."

She furrowed her brows as she listened to his unintelligible words. Then, she interrupted impatiently. "Derek, what are you trying to say?"

"In fact... I've heard all about it." He looked into her eyes with a little pity suddenly.

"What have you heard?" She was even more confused. "Derek, if you don't speak up, just get lost!"

Perhaps it was her attitude that angered him. His face darkened, and he said, "I heard from my family that Joshua has had an accident. Hazel, my condolences. He's nice, but you should look ahead, shouldn't you?"

She was so angry that she almost wanted to curse!

She had been blocking the information that Joshua had an accident. Although she also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be kept from others for long, and the turmoil of the Denmark Group had already caused all kinds of rumors, what qualification did Derek have to say this kind of words in front of her?!
