“No.” Pola got nervous and stammered, “I was frightened and tumbled. Ms. Downey had nothing to do with this actually.:
Joseph looked at Pola angrily.
“I remember I’ve told you that you won’t meet Noah unless Hayden agrees. What happened?”
Joseph did not expect that Pola would attend this party. He did not know the reason. But he reckoned that Harrison might have known something from Harrison’s eyes and what he said to Hayden.
“Mr. Beckham invited me,” Pola explained straight away, “I did not come here by myself. It was his arrangement. And he said I could saw Noah from afar.”
“You won’t meet Noah again.”
After saying this, Joseph left Pola alone and went out.
He thought, being a surrogate mother might have impacted her life. And it was reasonable that she wanted to meet Noah. But it seemed that she was not that reliable as she behaved. After he left the bathroom, he went back to the dining hall and said to Magnus, “Check Pola’s identity and background again.”
“Why? Is there any problem?”
“Just go and check.” Joseph was cold and glared at Magnus, “You are talkative now. Why does Harrison know about Pola?”
Hearing this, Magnus gave a shudder and answered uneasily, “Mr. Beckham, I…”
“Stop that. Check her identity now. I want the result by tomorrow.”
“OK.”
Magnus did not dare to speak and left quickly with relief.
Joseph had never doubted Magnus about his ability because Magnus kept being his assistant for years. And he never messed up. Therefore, when he took the result of the paternity test and other evidence to Joseph and said Pola was Noah’s mother, Joseph believed him directly.
But Hayden kept being annoyed by that, so he did not contact Pola again. The memory of the past had fade away. And it was difficult for him to assure that Pola was the girl six years ago.
However, he began to suspect her identity after seeing what happened in the bathroom.
Haydon would not slap anyone for no reason, which he never doubted, so Pola was definitely lying. Although she acted well, she still gave the game away.
After the party, Joseph drove the kids and Harrison to home.
The nanny took the kids to sleep, so there were only Harrison and Joseph in the living room.
“Why did Hayden leave from the party?” Harrison wondered aloud, drinking his tea.
Joseph said coolly, “She was not feeling well so I asked her to come home and take a rest.”
“It was about Noah’s mother, wasn’t it?”
Harrison did not buy it and asked bluntly, “Hayden took it too seriously. Noah’s mother just wanted to meet her son. She would go to Britain, right? And I heard that she was a child psychiatrist. Perhaps she could help Noah. He’s more introverted than most of the kids in his age, like a little girl.”
Joseph frowned, “I will consider this later on. You should stop interfering.”
“You think I’m interfering?”
“I’m not going to let Pola meet Noah.” Speaking of her, Joseph’s eyes grew cold.
Harrison gave him a glare, “Her husband gets the advanced gastric cancer and hospitalizes. All she wishes to do is to meet Noah. What’s more, it’s a mistake you have made before. Now you don’t want to offer her a help?”
