Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 889 - 177: He Is The Only One

"It's like you were trapped this time, and we could save you because Joshua is strong enough. He can take on the Kim family head to head, and he can prevent the conspiracies behind it. It looked like he did it very easily, but it's because he blocked those conspiracies in places that we could not see."

"So, I want to be stronger and become as strong as him. In this way, no matter what kind of situation we are caught in, I can protect you!"

Ronald looked dejected. He understood what she meant.

Even if she was not with Joshua, they might still be caught in danger, as his experience has proven. The only way to solve the problem was to make himself stronger.

He was clearly the first person to encounter the incident, but Hazel advanced first. He was still thinking about how to separate her and Joshua.

The most important thing was... Hazel really made up her mind this time.

She was determined to be with Joshua. Even if they separated her from Joshua, they would only make Hazel suffer for a lifetime.

As they got to the girls' dormitory, Ronald suddenly reached out and held Hazel in his arms.

"Brother?" Hazel was a bit stunned. Somehow, she felt this hug from Ronald was very different from previous ones.

"Hazel, must it be him?" He whispered.

Hazel said firmly, "I can't guarantee the future, but at least for now, he is the only one."

Ronald sighed and let her go. He reached out and rubbed her head like in the old days.

"Brother!" Hazel was somewhat complaining. She had grown up already, and he touched her head like he was touching a child.

"Rest assured, I will help you convince our parents." He said with a chuckle, his eyes full of brotherly love for her.

A touch of joy flashed in Hazel's eyes. "Really?"

"Really." Ronald nodded, " Now go back to the dormitory."

Hazel went back to the dormitory happily. Ronald looked at her back, and her eyes went darker. Since there was no way to persuade her, he could only support her as long as she was happy.

Students had been gradually returning to Quantum University after vacation.

Hazel called her roommates on her way to the door to tell them she was on her way back.

Hazel pushed open the door of her dormitory room. Ariel and Summer were waiting for her.

"Hazel, let's talk!" The two asked her to interrogate a suspect. "Who is the handsome guy downstairs that brought you back? Aren't you supposed to be in love with Prince Charming? Don't tell me that you are in the middle of a love triangle!"

"That's my brother, by blood," Hazel said helplessly. It turned out that they saw Ronald bringing her back.

"Ah? Brother?" The two were even more surprised. The next moment, Ariel's eyes became sparkling. She grabbed Hazel's arm and asked excitedly, "Hazel, do you think I have the chance to be your sister-in-law?"

"You can stop that." Summer said, "You are so horny. When you see some other handsome guy in two days, you will forget him."

"Who said that I am horny?" Ariel hurriedly explained, "I am just pursuing and appreciating the beauty in our life! And, ah, I am always very loyal to Prince Charming..."

"Hey, I am still here. And you want to hit on my boyfriend in front of me?" Looking at Ariel's infatuation, Hazel interrupted her helplessly.

"Hey?" The two looked at her curiously. "I remember that before the vacation, your attitude toward Prince Charming was still unwilling. Now just after a vacation, and you begin to confess that he is your man? Hurry up. Tell us what happened exactly during the vacation?"

"Yeah that, I am a little tired. Let me tell you about it another day." Hazel said.

She and Joshua had not completely solved the problem, she was really in no mood to talk about it. Her parents had already made an appointment with Joshua to meet tomorrow. Although Ronald said he would help, she was not very confident.

She quarreled with her parents, but because she knew that they cared about her very much, she also knew they wouldn't stop talking to her. However, if she did have to choose one side or the other, she would not know how to choose.

Seeing that Hazel was moody, Summer and Ariel did not bother her.

Ronald returned to the villa in the Swan Lake residence community. Harry and Rachel were still awake, waiting for him to return.

"Is Hazel back to the dormitory?" They asked.

"Yeah." Ronald nodded.

"She didn't sneak away to find Joshua again?" Rachel asked worriedly. She was terrified that her little girl would go to Joshua again, and she would be a grandmother within a year.

"She won't," Ronald said. "I told her I would help her convince you."

"It's okay to tell her that." Harry breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's think about what to say when we meet with Joshua tomorrow..."

"Dad, I mean it, really." Ronald suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Rachel looked at him blankly. "Ronald, have you betrayed us? Even if Joshua saved you, you shouldn't sacrifice your sister to thank him!"

Seeing Rachel's real anger, Ronald said calmly, "Mom, do you know why Hazel suddenly broke up with Joshua a few days ago?"

"She had a problem with Joshua. Why else would she have done it?" Rachel said with a cold face.

"No, she broke up with him for us." Ronald sighed, "I deliberately made her drunk that day to get the truth out of her."

"What?" Harry and Rachel looked at him, completely shocked. They didn't know why that was important.

Ronald calmly told them about his conversation with Hazel, and Harry and Rachel were even more shocked.

They had always treated Hazel as a child and even treated all her actions as childish, impulsive, and ignorant.

But Hazel actually bore so much on her shoulders? Rachel suddenly remembered the tears in Hazel's sleep, and she looked so sad. But for their safety, Hazel would rather suffer for it.

And what about them? They just took advantage of their identity as parents to force Hazel to do something she didn't like to.
