Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 996 - 284: You Mind Your Own Business

Hazel suddenly remembered about her book and said to Nanny Carter, "Nanny Carter, I left a book here a few days ago. Did you see it?"

"I asked someone to put that book back in your room." Joshua said faintly, "Just remember to pick it up next time."

"Okay." Hazel nodded hard.

"By the way, I saw you commented on the latest pages. Is there anything about that book you don't understand?"

"Yeah, that is..."

Seeing that the two began talking like nobody was around, Rachel frowned. Hazel and Joshua's manner of getting along astonished her. They looked like a pair of sweet lovers, but also like a pair of good partners.

Even if she still hated Joshua, Rachel felt that they were a perfect match.

While they were having dinner, Lily was hiding in the corner, taking photos of them with her mobile phone while grinding her teeth.

"What are you doing?" Theresa noticed her and said, "Lily, can you stop? You were lucky they did not drive you out last time. If you anger Mr. Denmark again..."

"Okay, I know." Lily said in reluctance, "I didn't do anything. What are you worried about?"

After that, Lily turned and left. She had wanted to do something, but she was afraid to see Rachel. Yesterday she saw Rachel's CQC abilities with her own eyes, which scared the hell out of her.

Rachel frowned suddenly when she looked toward the dining room door and saw Lily leaving. How could this girl be in the house? Rachel's expression became extremely unpleasant. She remembered that she was blatantly trying to steal Hazel's boyfriend. What was wrong with Joshua and Hazel's minds? How could they tolerate such a girl staying in the same house as them?

Hazel wasn't able to relax and enjoy her dinner, and her mother got angry while they were eating. She couldn't figure out what they did to piss Rachel off so quickly.

After the catastrophic dinner, Hazel quickly proposed, "Mom, let's go back..."

"Go back?" Rachel glanced at her with dissatisfaction, "We've come here. Why are you going back? Are you afraid that I know something, so you want to take me away?"

Hazel's head was pounding. Rachel sounded like she was going to stay for the night.

"Yeah, why should you go to the hotel when you can stay here?" Nanny Carter also said, "I have arranged the guest room. Mrs. Crowe, please stay here tonight."

"No worries." Rachel said. "I'll just sleep with Hazel."

Hazel was disturbed by her mother's attitude, she really wanted to stay at Denmark Residence for the night.

Rachel was very picky about everything. Last time she decided to leave the Imperial Capital so quickly because she guessed that the house they were living in was provided by Joshua. She hated Joshua and certainly would not stay in that house. Although Rachel didn't say it, Hazel knew it.

It seemed that she still hadn't changed her mind about Joshua, but she decided to stay at Denmark Residence overnight. She must be plotting something. Hazel was panicking.

"Let's go, show me the night views around here." Rachel looked at Hazel.

Hazel put on a poker face. She even suspected that Rachel was going to try to secretly collect evidence of some illegal activity and then put Joshua directly in handcuffs.

Joshua perceived what Hazel was thinking. He said calmly to Rachel, "Let me..."

"No," Rachel interrupted him, "You mind your own business. Let me have some time with my daughter."

Rachel was rude, but Joshua and Hazel couldn't say anything. Hazel had to show Rachel around Denmark Residence, she tried to gauge Rachel's facial expressions and attitude, but she looked unpredictable.

After finishing the sight-seeing in the Denmark Residence, Hazel couldn't help but ask again, "Mom, what are you doing?"

Rachel looked like she didn't hear what Hazel said. She thought for a while, then she looked sharply at Hazel and said, "You are quite familiar with this place!"

Hazel was stunned. It only made sense that after she moved in here, Joshua would spend time showing her around. He even made some changes to please her.

Rachel didn't press on this topic. She said with some confusion, "These servants seem to respect you very much, too much..."

Rachel naturally knew that the more respectful the servants were to Hazel, the more Joshua cared for Hazel. It seemed that Joshua really attached great importance to her daughter.

"Really?" Hazel asked awkwardly, "I didn't notice that."

Rachel was speechless, her daughter was really being spoiled by that man.

Hazel seemed to have totally shut down her defense system when it came to him; she wondered if Joshua was worth that kind of trust.

Lily flew by in the corridor in front of them.

"Why the hell is she here?" Rachel asked with an ugly face.

"Who?" Hazel looked back and saw the empty corridor. Lily was nowhere in sight.

"Forget it. Maybe my night vision had gotten worse." Rachel said coldly, "Let's go back to the room."

Hazel follows Rachel blankly. Lily walked out of the corner and took some more photos of them, and sent them to the Flores family. Caroline called her soon after she received them.

"Lily, that woman really wanted to stay in the Denmark Residence?" Caroline asked in annoyance.

"Yeah." Lily said unwillingly, "Auntie, it's unfair! Joshua and Hazel are not married yet! You have not moved into Denmark Residence yet. Why is Hazel's mother qualified to live here first?"

What Lily had said was like a critical hit to Caroline. Caroline was even more annoyed, cursing Hazel and Rachel on the phone.

"Auntie, how about you move in here too?" Lily suggested. If Caroline also came in, Denmark Residence would be full of excitement. Lily couldn't wait to see how Joshua and Hazel would suffer when Rachel and Caroline began fighting with each other.

"I'll come tomorrow," Caroline said with some weakness. "It's too late today. But Lily, you should give that plan a shot now!"

"Really, Auntie Caroline?" Lily was somewhat surprised.
