President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 109

Benjamin lingered in the rest room for some time and it was almost time for Hayden to get off work. She came to the rest room to get the children.

“You’re here.” Hayden smiled when she saw Benjamin, “Jeff told me that you have gone to the Higher Education Mega Centre. Did you learn anything there?”

Benjamin shook his head, “I gained some impression from that place based on what you told me, but I still can’t recall anything.”

A flash of disappointment appeared in Hayden’s eyes, but she still tried to comfort Benjamin, “Is that so? It’s okay. The Higher Education Mega Centre is not that big anyway; let’s go there together during the weekend.”

Benjamin smiled and gave people the feeling that he wasn’t that concerned about regaining his memories and relearning his identity.

“We will have dinner together tonight. I have identified the place.”

“Alright.”

Seeing that Hayden has agreed to his proposition so quickly, Noah’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly wrote a sentence on the drawing board before lifting it up for Hayden to see, “Aren’t we going to my house?”

Hayden stroked his head while explaining, “We were originally going to your house, but in the afternoon the butler called and told me that your father is going on a business trip at night, so he won’t be at home. I can’t shake off all my worries if Stella and you are to sleep there alone, so tonight you will come with me back to my house. I will send you back first thing in the morning tomorrow.”

When he heard that, the frown on Noah’s face deepened.

At this critical timing, how could his father still go on some business trip? Was he that unconcerned and confident?

Although he was dissatisfied with his situation, he could only follow them to dinner. However, when he reached their dinner place, Noah couldn’t help widening his eyes.

In the crowded night market of the Higher Education Mega Centre, youngsters could be seen coming and going on the streets. A strong scent of smoke lingered over the stalls, which captured Stella’s attention.

“Wow! This place is so bustling!”

Hayden listened to Stella’s exclamation and she also lamented, “It has been years since I visited any night market in the country. How are you able to find this place?”

“Somewhere in my memory I can remember a place like this.” There was a faint of smile on Benjamin’s face, “I can’t remember who I have come here with though, but I have a feeling that this is a place I would have frequented in the past. So, I decided to bring you here. I remember that there’s a stall which is quite hygienic, and the business is always good.”

Hayden looked as if she was struck by something as she asked, “Don’t tell me you’re talking about Ma'am Donna’s Barbecue?”

“How do you know about that?” Benjamin was startled for a second.

“Six years ago, when I was studying in the medical school of the Higher Education Mega Centre, that stall was the most famous stall around here. I heard that it is always in business, but too bad, I can never find time to visit it.”

“Then this time, you can fulfill that regret.” Benjamin chipped in, and the lot of them started walking towards the stalls.

It wasn’t late night yet, but the stalls were all lighted up and people were thronging the streets. They were fortunate that they still had seats for them since they didn’t come at a very late time.

Benjamin ordered some dishes without any problems, and he handed the menu to a waiter, “Besides skewers, give me two beef noodles for kids. Make sure the size is not too big, and make sure it’s not spicy.”

After the waiter had left, Benjamin turned around and looked at Hayden. He saw that she was scanning her surroundings. Her curiosity was as strong as Stella’s.

“Haven’t you come to a night market like this in the past?”

“That’s right.” Hayden turned around and displayed a sheepish smile.

“I don’t have many friends in the country, and the few friends I do have don’t like to come to this type of place. I really wanted to come here, but I don’t have the chance because I was alone all the time.”

Now that she was bringing up the past, she could finally say it casually and without any feelings. However, she had suppressed so much of her feelings for all those years.

When she was in Nanking in the past, because of Chelsea, nobody in school dared to befriend her, therefore she was used to being alone since she was young. It was only when she was studying in university which was not where Chelsea was studying in, she was able to make a friend, but unfortunately, the so-called best friend she had made during those years turned out to be a third wheel who had interjected in her first love.

When Benjamin saw the forlorn and lonely expression on Hayden’s face, he somehow could relate to it, as if he had a similar childhood life, “I think I don’t have many friends either.”
