Hayden was stunned and verified, “You said that your name is Benjamin?”
The youth raised his head from under the blanket and his face was pale. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat and struggled to nod, “Yeah.”
“What’s your last name?” Hayden asked.
The youth shook his head.
“Forget it, don’t think about it now.” Hayden patted his shoulders as she was worried that he would be hurt if he was to recall something suddenly and she continued, “So you’re Benjamin, at least there is a name now. I’ll try to find your family.”
If Benjamin was a student at the University campus, then it’ll be a problem because it was near to the summer holidays and the University would hardly notice if anyone was missing. She could only investigate on her own.
A week later…
The Blue Castle Kindergarten officially was on summer break.
Hayden went to the end of semester parents’ meeting and as expected, she met Joseph and Noah. As soon as Noah saw her, he ran over to hug her leg. Although he didn’t speak, his joy was clearly displayed on his tender and cute face.
Things between Hayden and Joseph became closer after the night at Lanxi town. They both moved on from the period when they ignored each other. They kept their work separate from their private lives and looked like things were going well for them. But only they knew that they were each wondering about the other’s intentions.
“Mommy, can I stay at Noah’s house during the summer holidays?” Stella pulled Hayden’s sleeve and brought her back to her senses.
Hayden didn’t hesitate and replied, “Of course.”
“Really?” Stella had prepared a long list of reasons to convince her mother but didn’t expect that her mother had agreed so readily. It looked like things between mommy and Mr. Beckham were improving!
Noah was also very happy and smiled radiantly.
“Can Stella stay at your place for a while during summer? The two kids can play together. This will also help me as I have to work.” Hayden looked pleasantly at Joseph.
Joseph smiled and was very calm, “Of course. You may also come to stay so that you can spend time with the kids.”
“Me? That’s not necessary.” Hayden started to blush and tried to hide her thoughts.
She had her motives. She wanted Stella and Noah to spend more time together since they were siblings. Although she could not reveal this now, it warms her heart whenever they played together.
“So you’ve found a place to stay?” Joseph asked in passing to change the subject and break the awkwardness.
“Yes, I’ve found it. Later I’ll go to the hospital to have Benjamin discharged and then bring him over to the new place.”
Two days ago, Chelsea suddenly called her and said that the Jinshui Villa Area house had been returned to her. She told Hayden to stay at that house. Hayden didn’t think much of it but on the next day, she found a set of house keys at Alayna’s letterbox.
“You are taking that kid to stay with you?” Joseph’s expression darkened.
“The doctors said that he can be discharged. I have not found out which school he was from and can only take him back to stay at my place.”
“No.” Joseph coldly refused.
“Hayden, don’t you think that it’s inappropriate for you to take a grown man to stay at your place?”
