The CEO's Lovely Twins

Chapter 198 Afraid That I Will Hit Her

“Before questioning me, think about how you talk to me first.”

Hayden was aggrieved as she thought about it, and she poured out all the things that had happened

over this period, “Of course you think that I should put Noah first, but both Noah and Stella are equally

important to me. Since you don’t believe me nor agree with it, then I really wish to know what position

that you want me to put Stella in? Have you really ever treated Stella as your family, as your daughter?”

Joseph was speechless.

“And also your childhood sweetheart, Addison Sanchez, Vivian. Well, you said that she was just your

sister and I believed you. But do you know that there were many gossips and rumours about it? Even

your cousin knew that you don’t like me. If Vivian is your fiancée, then who am I? A secret lover that

you just paid for?”

Hayden was exhausted hissing, and she said viciously, “I’m not that cheap!”

She spoke it all in one sitting, staring at Joseph for a while. She then lowered her head with red eyes,

seemingly aggrieved.

“Let go of me.” Her voice was dull as she whimpered.

Joseph was clutching Hayden’s hands with great force, and she couldn’t shake it off.

After a long time, he said hoarsely, “I’m sorry about the kids. I was wrong. But I didn’t mean to not

consider your situation and mood. Just that… that day, I was…”

He spoke incoherently.

People would speak incoherently in the heat of anger.

How could he unreasonably ask a mother to give up her own child and take care of other’s child

wholeheartedly? Just when Noah Beckham had the accident, he was in a bad mood and being absurd.

“I’m sorry.”

He rarely justified himself but just apologised even if he wanted to say something. Others might hear it

being lightly, but to him, it was heavy.

He figured out that his dignity, as well as those trivialities in their life, was just no big deal. People would

only then find out what really mattered when they were in mortal danger.

“I apologize for all the things that I’ve done, and also for all the words I’ve said that hurt you. I’m sorry,

Hayden. I’ve been trying to use a less pretentious way to express my feelings for you. But in the end, I

found that nothing carries more weight than saying loving you.”

Hayden was speechless.

“Hayden, I love you.”

The night breezes blew, and Hayden was embraced in a warm hug. She was powerless to struggle,

and tears were running down her cheeks as she cried even louder.

She could even hear her own dull voice hissing, “You bastard.”

But in the end, she snuggled into his arms, feeling aggrieved.

There wouldn’t be so many misunderstandings if people could be honest with each other. People would

only then know what you were trying to do until you had made the first move. No matter how it felt

inside, nothing was better than making a confession.

Hayden sneezed as she got back to the car.

Joseph turned off the air conditioner and wrapped his jacket around her, feeling worried.

“Have some tea.”

“Thanks.”

Hayden sniffed as she received the cup of tea.

None of them mentioned the incident just now after they had calmed down.

It was a shame for two adults blubbering about a trifle on the road at night!

After a while, Joseph broke the silence, “About the fire, we have figured it out before you resigned. It

was Baron who set the fire. And Noah had stumbled into the cold storage by that time. Although Baron

didn’t admit it, Stella was probably dazed by him at that time. But I didn’t have the chance to tell you

about this.”

Hayden nodded, “I know.”

There were two meanings of her knowing. One was that she went to Guangdong herself to get to the

bottom of it. She was the one who left those clues to her assistant in the ST Hotel. Otherwise, what

could those sacks of shit in the local police station do?

The other meaning was that she knew why Joseph didn’t tell her after all the things were clear.

That was because Brook Downey was hospitalized under critical condition back then, and she just

broke up with Joseph too. With Joseph’s temperament, he would definitely not come to her at this

juncture.

“Then how about the person behind this matter?”

Hayden asked.

Baron was an apprentice from a remote fishing village. He would never do such a bad thing to a child

unless someone guided him deliberately. There was no reason other than being blinded by greed.

And many acted in concert with him in this incident. For instance, the two hotel waiters told Hayden that

Noah had gone to the washroom. They were like being arranged there temporarily to mislead her so

that everything seemed to be a coincidence.

“It was Addison who did this. I’ll let her apologize to Stella and you.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Hayden was surprised for Joseph convicting Addison Sanchez of this incident.

“Addison?”

“Are you surprised?” Joseph was puzzled looking at her, “Didn’t you suspect her?”

The fire had already started at the kitchen entrance that day. And anyone would have suspected why

Addison rushed into the scene if nobody knew that Noah was in the kitchen?

According to Addison’s performances, when Joseph contacted her afterwards, she wasn’t willing to

mention much about the incident that day. She was obviously panic.

One would be considered self-effacing for not taking any credit after saving Noah’s life. But if she was

nervous when mentioning this matter, there would only be something fishy about this.

“No.”

Hayden vetoed, “I don’t think she did all of this. If she really did plan it all by herself, why leaving such a

careless mistake to arouse suspicion?”

“Perhaps she didn’t expect that the fire would get bigger.”

“Or maybe… The one who promised to do this with her suddenly changed his mind, wanting to kill two

birds with one stone.”

Hayden looked at Joseph’s calm look, “Letting you misunderstand me as well as suspect on her at the

same time.”

Joseph looked stagnant as he had thought of something.

“Who do you suspect?”

“There are many in Nanking who want Addison and me to leave you, and we are unable to investigate

it. But I think Addison must have known it.”

Hayden looked calm, “If you’re at ease, I’ll take care of this matter then. I want to find Addison and ask

about it.”

“Are you asking her?”

“Why? Hate to do it? Afraid that I will hit her?”

Hayden raised an eyebrow at Joseph, probing deliberately.

However, Joseph smirked as he leaned back and said, “You might not know that Addison had reached

the level of black belt in Taekwondo and she can easily split bricks with her bare hands.”

“Are you kidding me?”

Hayden’s eyes popped out of her head, feeling incredulous.

Joseph then added, “You don’t believe it? Her ex-husband, who just pushed her after being drunk,

ended up having his arm broken by her.”
