President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 222

Hayden called Scarlett after Freddie left.

“Aunt Scarlett, where is Stella?”

“She had just finished lunch and now napping along with your uncle.” Scarlett's voice seems to be gentler than before.

“With Uncle? Uncle Nathan is not working today?”

“I haven’t told you that your uncle had officially retired last week. He was scheduled for a calligraphy event in Hubei Province but he rushed back knowing that Stella was coming. I told him he is not good with kids, but he insisted on the opposite, sigh.”

Hayden laughed, “Uncle had just retired, he’s probably trying to keep himself occupied.”

“That's true.” Scarlett laughed too, “Oh yeah, there’s a gathering on Friday night, let’s have a family dinner together, only us and your other uncle’s family, come join us.”

Hayden hesitated for a while, “I haven’t seen them for so many years, it’ll be awkward for me to be there.”

“Why? Are you cutting ties with your relatives from your maternal grandfather’s side?”

“That’s not what I meant, Aunt.”

“Well, come then. I’ll pick you up at your place on Friday.”

It was hard to reject Scarlett’s genuine invitation. Besides, her maternal grandfather’s side of the uncles were the only relatives she had left.

She understood Scarlett’s intention.

On Friday night, Scarlett came to pick Hayden up for the dinner at the hotel.

A black color low-key Rolls Royce stooped at the neighborhood. She was welcomed with a warm embrace soon as she got on, “What took you so long, Mommy, I’m starving.”

Hayden caressed her little head helplessly, “Sit upright, we are going.”

After they were seated, Hayden raised her head and greet her uncle on the passenger seat in the front.

“Mommy, look at my new dress, is it pretty?”

Stella didn’t stay still even after seated, she held her gauze skirt and showed it to Hayden, “See, there are little stars.”

A pink blue gauze skirt matched with a thin small leather jacket, brown leather shoes with a pair of white floral lace socks. Hayden had been studying on the autumn/fall fashion shows lately due to work, if she was right, this was the latest design by BV this year.

Even if the price of the clothes was not visible, the double G logo on Stella’s slanting bag was clearly visible.

“Aunt Scarlett, there is no need to buy such expensive clothes for a child.”

Scarlett disagreed.

“Stella is your only daughter, of course, she should be dressed up well. Girls are meant to be raised a princess to prevent her from being easily seduced by boys in the future.”

“I agree.” Nathan spoke from the passenger seat, “Girls are meant to be raised a princess, but we are not spoiling her, we want her to be strong and independent.”

Hayden felt a sudden headache.

Both Scarlett and Nathan were childless and they like Stella so much. Dressing her up with branded clothing at such a young age was overindulging, they might even pick the stars and moon for her.

“Aunt, this… don’t overdo it, we need to be strict…”

“If you want to discuss tiger parenting, there’s nothing to talk about. I was raised that way, having a bad temperament brings no good.”

Hayden was stunned by her speech.
