President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 211

Joseph’s face did not look good.

The previously warm atmosphere also became a little bit cold, invading Hayden’s marrow and spreading the coolness across her body.

Hayden who was gripping her chopsticks froze in mid-air, and she frowned at Joseph, “Didn’t I say that? We are just friends. What’s wrong with you?”

“What’s his or her name? Is the person a man or a woman?” Joseph’s expression was a bit gloomy, but his tone had softened a bit, “I want to know.”

“You don’t know him also.”

Hayden glanced at him suspiciously, and she said a bit jokingly as well as a bit seriously, “You’re not even to be jealous of me answering a friend’s phone call, are you?”

Joseph secretly clenched his fist. At this moment, Hayden’s attitude made him feel he was very ridiculous. It was obvious that the truth was close at hand, but both of them were covering it up.

In the end, he took a step back and pulled out his chair, and sat down before saying with a low voice, “I just want to know what other friends you have besides Alayna. Can’t I do that?”

“I don’t have many friends. When I was in America, Alayna was the only friend I have.”

Hayden smiled and told Joseph naturally.

“His name is Edison Godfrey. He was my senior when I was studying in the college in China before, but his batch was a few years before mine. He was starting a business when I reached the United States and he lacked some money. I was quite rich at that time, and after knowing that he and I were alumni of the same college. I helped him out.”

They were friends in adversity.

As Joseph listened to her words, he felt more suffocated as if the air was not circulating and he felt like he lacked oxygen.

Hayden finishing introducing Edison in a few words, but she didn’t tell him the most important thing, which was the marriage between her and Edison.

“This chicken wing is quite tasty, but the taste still can be improved.”

Hayden commented on the taste of the chicken wing and put another piece into Joseph’s bowl.

“Try it, and guess what’s the thing that can be improved.”

The chicken wings were covered with brightly-coloured sauce, which looked particularly tempting.

Joseph was a little distracted and he took a big bite randomly under Hayden’s excited gaze, looking like he was annoyed.

“How was it?”

“Um.” Joseph nodded.

“Hey…” Hayden looked dumbfounded. “Are you sure the taste is fine?”

Joseph looked at her quizzically, “What taste?”

“It’s not cooked, Joseph.”

Hayden pointed to the remaining half of the chicken wings in his bowl. She looked astonished as the chicken wings were still oozing blood in the flesh, and she could not believe him to be able to take such a big bite and swallowed it without changing his expression.

Joseph’s face turned pale, and he immediately rushed to the bathroom with a complicated expression on his face.

After a while, Hayden rested her head and arms on the table while laughing out nonchalantly.

“Hahaha… what the hell were you thinking about when you were eating?”

Joseph’s cooking skills were actually considered good and he was talented in cooking, although he hadn’t cooked much before, today the dishes he served included a plate of meat, a plate of vegetables as well as a pot of soup. The vegetable dishes done by him were still stir-fried well. Besides, the fish soup was also quite nice under Hayden’s guidance by his side.

The only thing was, Hayden always felt that Joseph seemed to be preoccupied during the meal.

When he came out from the washroom, Joseph’s face was a little pale.

“Are you alright?”

Hayden served him a bowl of fish soup. Seeing his expression of self-doubt, she could not help but explain to him, “I have tasted it. The soup is fine. Drink it to nourish your stomach.”
