Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 760 - 48: Bring Her Back Home

Joshua gently embraced Hazel and said, "Don't be afraid. It's okay now."

Hazel suddenly felt tears in her eyes. She felt angry and frustrated, but when Joshua just said one sentence, she felt weak and victimized.

She clearly did not do anything wrong, but she had to listen to the personal attacks happening on the internet.

Hazel leaned on Joshua's chest and struggled with her emotions.

"Someone is there! Go check it out!" Two people shouted and ran towards them.

Hazel was shocked and wanted to run. Joshua took her wrist, "Come with me."

Hazel took a step and stumbled.

"What happened? "

"I accidentally sprained my foot."

Joshua frowned, he bent down his body and said, "Get up."

"Ah?" Hazel looked at him with surprise.

"I'm going to carry you," Joshua whispered.

Hazel looked at him in confusion, hesitating.

"Or, do you prefer me to hold you in my arms?" Joshua asked calmly.

Looking at the two people who were getting closer, Hazel no longer hesitated. She climbed onto his back.

Joshua carried her to a nearby car. The driver quickly got out and opened the door for them.

Joshua put Hazel in the car, and he sighed, "Go to the Denmark Residence."

The driver pulled away and lost the two people behind.

Hazel hugged the suit jacket tighter around her shaking body.

"Turn on the heat," Joshua told the driver.

Hazel realized that since she had got into the car, Joshua had been holding her.

Her cheeks were slightly hot. Hazel pushed him away and looked outside the window.

They soon arrived at the Denmark Residence. When Hazel tried to get out of the car, Joshua held on to her like he was hugging a princess.

"I can go by myself!" Hazel exclaimed, and she struggled to jump out of his arms.

"Your foot is sprained. Why must you fight?" Joshua was unhappy.

Hazel struggled again, "Let go of me!"

When being held by Joshua, her heartbeat really fast.

"I'll spank your ass if you don't listen."

Hazel was quiet for a moment, and she looked at Joshua miserably.

He sounded like an elder speaking to a child. She would be humiliated if he did spank...that spot!

Joshua was stronger, so she didn't even bother to argue.

Looking at her resentful eyes, Joshua was weak. What's on her mind now?

Joshua took her into the living room and put her on the sofa.

"Nanny Carter, get a bag of ice," Joshua shouted.

Joshua sat next to Hazel, lifted her leg, and placed it on his legs.

"Let, let me do it myself," Hazel said.

"You don't trust me?" Joshua frowned slightly.

Hazel's cheeks went red. This had nothing to do with trust.

As soon as she saw how Joshua worked, she knew he was very experienced in dealing with such minor injuries. But, he was holding her foot...the temperature of his palm. She felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest!

Nanny Carter got a bag of ice and a towel so Joshua could wrap Hazel's foot.

Hazel sighed with relief from the coolness of the ice.

"Is it better?" He asked.

Hazel nodded.

"Fortunately, there is no fracture or joint dislocation." Joshua softly said, "You'll be fine in two days when the swelling disappears. You need to take it easy the next two days."

"Okay," Hazel answered with a bit of embarrassment.

She knew all that. She just felt so strange being instructed by Joshua in this way.

"Is there any other place injured?" Joshua' eyes moved up from her calf.

"No," Hazel hurriedly said.

Joshua got closer to her.

Hazel suddenly opened her eyes, and her heart ramped up again.

Looking at his handsome face getting closer to her, Hazel felt mindless. The atmosphere was so mystifying that she could do nothing but close her eyes.

"What is this?" Joshua's fingers touched a red mark on her neck.

Hazel opened her eyes in amazement. Joshua didn't mean to kiss her?

Seeing the hint of ridicule in his eyes, Hazel suddenly felt ashamed and wanted to find a hole to bury herself.

"What is this?" Joshua laughed and continued to ask.

Hazel felt ashamed and touched the red mark, "A branch accidentally scratched it. It'll disappear soon."

"Alright." Joshua nodded, and suddenly he said, "What are you doing with your eyes closed?"

"I'm sleepy, okay?" Hazel was displeased.

"I thought," Joshua twitched his lips, "You were expecting...a kiss."

Hazel's cheeks went flushed, "Who was expecting...anything!"

He kissed her lips before she finished speaking.

His deep eyes were so close that she could even see his shallow smile and the reflection of herself.

The sudden attack left her breathless. She tried to resist and push him away, but Joshua held her wrist with one hand and the back of her head with the other.

The tip of his tongue was on her lips. There was some intoxicating tenderness in his invasion. Like the cities of a fallen nation, Hazel's hands moved on his neck, and she even began to respond to the kiss.

After the long kiss, Hazel leaned against Joshua's chest and gasped.

Why did she do that? Hazel lost her mind.

Suddenly, Joshua stretched out his fingers and gently lifted her chin, "Hazel, you feel for me."

"Hell no!" She pushed him away as if she was electrocuted.

"Really?" He smiled, "Did you not feel a bit of something when I kissed you?"

"No! You forced me!" Hazel was mad, feeling so ashamed. She struggled, "It's just...the atmosphere was inviting, and I couldn't resist…"

She was desperately looking for a reason. Even though she said so, in Hazel's heart, it was clear that when Joshua kissed her, she didn't really hate it at all. She even had a little joy and excitement.

"Well." Joshua twitched his lips. He picked her up again.

"What do you want to do?" Hazel was in a panic.

"Take you to bed," Joshua said lightly.

"No..." Hazel was struggling to jump down.

"Don't move." Joshua was blinking, "Or do you want to do something else, huh?"

Hazel instantly gave up fighting. Was he going to kiss her again...or...make a further move?

Joshua carried Hazel to the guest room.

He put Hazel on the bed. Hazel immediately retreated and watched him carefully.

Joshua's eyes glimmered for a second.

At the next moment, he twitched his lips and knelt on the bed with one leg. His body moved closer to Hazel.

Hazel grabbed the sheet nervously and leaned back, "What are you doing?"

She was retreating while he was attacking. Finally, Hazel lay on the bedside, and there was no more room to retreat.

Looking at Joshua so closely, Hazel seemed to have seen the flame in his eyes.

Did he really want to...escalate the situation?

Hazel's heartbeat was fierce. She stretched out her hand to push him, but he grabbed her hands first and pushed her back.

As his warm breath pounced on her neck, Hazel trembled, and she was like being electrocuted.
