Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Simon looked at her quietly. His heart only could not be hardened at all when he faced Hazel.

Joshua cocked an eyebrow slightly. He didn\'t like the way Simon stared at Hazel. It seemed that although he misunderstood Simon\'s relationship with Hazel, his intuition did not lead him to misunderstand Simon\'s feelings for Hazel.

"Or you can take the third way," said Simon in a deep tone. "You can leave the old man alone and me. Two of you stay away from anything of it. I\'ll handle it by myself."

"How can that work?" Hazel frowned.

One of them was Joshua\'s younger brother, and the other was Joshua\'s father. In any case, Joshua couldn\'t just stand by. Besides, Ted still had Stacy. Joshua couldn\'t disown his mother, even if Ted were very kind to her.

"Then there\'s no choice," Simon said with mockery. "I think you might as well take the old man\'s side so that Joshua won\'t be in danger. Maybe when Ted King is happy, he\'ll accept both of you!"

Hazel felt very uncomfortable listening to his sarcastic remarks.

During Joshua\'s disappearance, Simon had been secretly looking after her. Hazel had been unkind to him before, blaming him for Joshua\'s death.

But now that Joshua was back, Hazel was certainly not as angry with him as she used to be. Simon had helped her a lot, it was impossible for her to watch him die.

Noticing Hazel was about to speak, Joshua grabbed her hand and shook his head. She hesitated but finally said nothing.

Joshua took Hazel to a couch and poured her a glass of juice to make her comfortable.

Simon\'s lips twitched. He was talking to them very seriously, but what was Joshua doing? Joshua actually showed him a public display of affection on purpose?

This man was a pain in the neck before and after he lost his memory.

After that, Joshua looked lightly at Simon and asked calmly, "I\'d like to know why you hate him so much?"

"That\'s a crucial question." Simon, who had sat opposite them, nodded appreciatively. "Good, your memory is gone, but your brain is not broken."

Joshua raised his eyebrows. "If I\'m right, you didn\'t tell me why even when I didn\'t lose my memory?"

Simon\'s eyes were suddenly sharp as knives. Sure enough, even if Joshua lost his memory, he was still astonishingly capable.

"Now, you might consider telling me." Joshua poured himself a cup of coffee gracefully. "Instead of letting me choose, you might as well try to persuade me, make me take your side, or make me give up."

"You want to know?" Simon\'s eyes grew deep. He looked irritably at Hazel. He really didn\'t want Hazel to know it.

"Mmm!" Hazel nodded without hesitation.

"You allow her to hear that?" Simon looked at Joshua angrily. "You would never do that before!"

"I might have done that before, but now I lost my memory. Also," Joshua said lightly, "I think Joshua, who used to try to be a hero alone, hiding everything from Hazel, and making her afraid alone, is not good!"

Hazel was completely shocked. Her eyes became hot. She looked at Joshua, surprised but moved. So it was his current thoughts?

"So, now, I won\'t keep any secrets from Hazel." Joshua held her hand gently and solemnly. It sounded like a promise.

"I believe you." Hazel gave him a happy kiss on the cheek.

Simon was very speechless; he had watched enough of their public display of affection.

"Since you must know that..." He looked as if he had made some decision, and suddenly, his face became gloomy.

Then he said, clenching his teeth, "He killed my mother!"

"What?!" Hazel looked at him in shock.

Joshua was also somewhat surprised. He had guessed that there was an unsolvable animosity between Ted and Simon, but he had not expected the truth would be like that.

If it were true, there would be really no chance of reconciliation between Ted and Simon.

Hazel frowned tightly.

After all, it was about his mother\'s death. Simon would certainly look into it again and again. How could he be wrong?

But she and Joshua should confirm it. Joshua was his half-brother. It was not proper for Joshua to ask Simon, but it would be OK for her.

"Can you tell us the details?" Hazel thought carefully for a while and finally asked.

Simon\'s eyes became deeper. Hazel really cared about Joshua.

"Alright, I\'ll tell you," Simon said slowly, with a glint of pain in his eye. "My mother was chosen by the old man to get pregnant with his baby that year. Then my mother got pregnant. He only cared about the baby and didn\'t care about her. He seldom visited her and even forbade her from having contact with her family. Fortunately, my mother is hard-working and generous, so she had been in good health, and I was also healthy.

"Later, my mother gave birth to me smoothly. After seeing me, the old man visited my mother. Everyone thought my mother had moved him, but he had a very private conversation with her, who bled profusely afterward. The doctors tried very hard but failed to bring her back.

"When she was on the operating table, she screamed to see me. But she couldn\'t see me even when she finally died!"

Simon clenched his fist. His face and mask were now thick with hatred and killing intent.

He gave Joshua a sarcastic look. "To him, my mother is nothing more than a tool for giving birth to babies. If it hadn\'t been for your accident, how would I be able to come to this world? Joshua, tell me, in this case, how could he request me to obey and even love a man who killed my mother? Isn\'t he too greedy?"
