Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"Nanny Carter likes you very much. If you are unwilling to live with me, she will scold me." There was a bit of sadness in his eyes.

"Okay..." she consented to it.

His eyes flickered, and he moved slightly toward her.

She got very nervous in an instant.

Did Joshua want to kiss her again? The driver was still there, though!

Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and she pushed him away with a sigh of relief. "That is for you!"

He cocked his brows with some displeasure. Who is so inconsiderate?

It was his friend Kenny Jones. Frowning slightly, he answered the call.

"Joshua, let\'s get together tonight," Kenny said. "Chuck and Isaac are here, too."

"I don\'t have time," Joshua said indifferently.

"How come you have no time? I just called your office, and it\'s said you left work early." Kenny half-joked, "You wouldn\'t be with your girlfriend, would you?"

"Yes." Joshua nodded.

On the other end of the phone, Kenny became quiet. Soon he asked in surprise, "Really? You got a girlfriend? You are lying to me, aren\'t you? Bring her too, and we can meet her!"

Joshua\'s eyes twinkled a little. He said calmly, "I\'ll ask her if she wants to."

Kenny chuckled."Your persuading skills are strong."

Ignoring him, Joshua put down his cell phone and looked at Hazel. "My friend asked us to come over for a small get-together. Would you like to go?"

"Is it okay for me to go?" She was a little hesitant.

"You\'re my girlfriend. Why is it not okay?" he said softly, "Rest assured. They\'re not bad enough to bother you, and Isaac is also there."

"Isaac Anderson?" she asked. Knowing that there was a person she knew, she seemed less resistant to meet his friends.

Thinking for a bit, she nodded. "Alright."

He lowered his eyes, nodded, and said to Kenny, "We will be there after a while."

After hanging up and telling the driver where to go, Joshua quietly looked at Hazel.

"Why are you looking at me?" She touched her cheek blankly. "Is there something on my face?"

"Hazel," Joshua asked jealously, "do you want to go because Isaac is there? You treat him in quite a special way."

Stunned, she stared at him. Did she hear that right? Joshua was jealous?

She had always felt that Joshua, though gentle, was too calculating and profound that she could not guess what he was thinking at all.

But he was actually jealous?

She couldn\'t help laughing out loud.

"You\'re still laughing." He pinched her cheek with hidden bitterness.

"It\'s indeed a sort of special." She blinked. "I think he\'s a nice guy and a good friend."

"Mmm, he\'s a really good friend." His face softened slightly.

Did he accept it so easily?

She looked at him curiously. "Are you afraid that our relationship will be better after we have been friends for a long time?

Eyes twitching, he looked at her seriously and said firmly, "You\'re not going to have such a chance. Hazel, I trust your judgment."

She was angry and amused. What did he mean? Did he mean that if she continued to develop her relationship with Isaac, that she had bad judgment?

But... indeed, Joshua was more her type than Isaac would ever be.

They reached the place they were meeting Joshua\' friends. He quietly knocked on the door.

Kenny opened the door, smiled, and said, "Joshua, you\'re here…"

But before he finished, he looked at Hazel in amazement.

He thought Joshua was deceiving him when he said his girlfriend would accompany him. Kenny did not expect Joshuaton to really bring a woman here!

"She, she..."Kenny pointed at her with astonishment.

Hazel looked at him, puzzled. This man looked kind, but why did he see her as a ghost?

"She\'s my girlfriend." Joshua took Hazel by the hand intimately and led her into the room.

Acting as he had seen a ghost, Kenny followed them.

Isaac looked at Hazel in shock. Then he said with a sad look on his face, "Hazel, are you really with Joshua? This must be the reason you acted the way you did and piss me…"

"Face it, Isaac." Joshua took Hazel by her waist intimately, leaned over, and softly kissed her on the forehead.

Her cheeks turned red at being so close to him in front of his friends.

"It\'s just a kiss on the forehead…" Isaac was disdainful.

"If you want to see us more intimate, I\'d be happy to break your heart even more." Joshua had a faint smile.

Isaac became versed in an instant. The other two men in the room were all too shocked to even come to their senses.

They had never seen Joshua take a woman so seriously. Was Hazel really his girlfriend?

Isaac looked extremely depressed and angry. Joshua ignored him and simply introduced the three of them.

It wasn\'t until then that Hazel knew the guy who looked nice and honest was Kenny Jones, and the other guy who looked cool and seldom talked was Chuck Foster.

Kenny and Chuck were finally convinced that Joshua didn\'t lie to them when they knew Hazel was the woman who had an affair with Joshua the other day.

"Hello, sister-in-law," The two men shouted together.

Hazel was both frightened and embarrassed. She was about to say something when Joshua smiled softly and said, "Your sister-in-law is shy. Don\'t scare her."

After a brief chat with them, Hazel found that they were actually quite easygoing, and then they all teased each other but in a friendly way.

Kenny was very kind, Chuck was a little cold, and Isaac was rather flirtatious. As for Joshua, although he looked nice, he was the most scheming. Their relationship was actually so good that Hazel was somewhat surprised.

"You guys have totally different personalities. How can you be friends?" she asked curiously. "Is it because you grew up together?"

"No, the three of us grew up together," Isaac pointed to Chuck and Kenny. Then he explained, "Joshua joined us later, or brought under control. The three of us admire him very much."

Hazel felt more surprised. Joshua didn\'t grow up with the three of them?

She wanted to continue asking, but Kenny, who had been somewhat tongue-tied, suddenly said, "Joshua, I\'d like to apologize first. I may have done something wrong…"
