Joseph’s voice came from the other end of the phone, but she felt like he was just whispering by her ears.
Immediately, Hayden was transported back to that night, and her face instantly blushed.
How was that possible She didn’t even have an inkling of what she had said.
“Wait, no, that’s impossible, right” Hayden retorted forcefully, “Why would I come up with such a request”
If this really happened, it didn’t just mean that she was drunk. She must also be crazy.
“What are you doubting about” Joseph’s questioning tone came from the other end, “If you don’t believe me, you should think that there is no reason for me to fabricate such an excuse, no”
Hayden was speechless. Indeed, if she hadn’t made this request, what was the point of Joseph coming up with such a request There wasn’t any reason for doing that at all.
Despite finding it hard to believe that she was the one who had made this request, compared to the possibility that Joseph was lying now, it was more convincing for her to believe that she must have said some gibberish while in a drunk state. Therefore, she instantly swerved the direction of her conversation as she stammered, “That’s not what I mean. I was seriously drunk that night, I… I will go get Stella now.”
She hung up the phone and the driver stepped on the pedal hard. In no time, Imperial Villa emerged from a distance.
The sky had turned dark, and Joseph was in the living room with the two children. The moment she made her appearance, Noah immediately rushed towards her and hugged her thigh.
Hayden stroked his head and said, “My dear Noah, you must be careful with your hand. Don’t aggravate your injury. Do you still feel any pain”
Noah shook his head while looking at Hayden longingly.
This child was able to recover very fast so there was no need for a plaster anymore. The doctor just instructed him to be careful when exerting strength into his arm.
The home chef was arranging the dishes on the dining table when she glimpsed Hayden. She broke into a smile, “You have come just right on time, Miss Downey. The dishes are all ready and you guys can come eat now.”
“Huh”
Hayden froze for a second and she hastily declined, “It’s okay, I am here to get Stella.”
“Let’s eat together since you’re here.”
On the sofa, Joseph shut the book in his hand and walked over.
Stella nodded on one side as she implored, “Mummy, I am hungry now.”
Hayden knew that she would look pretentious if she continued to decline their goodwill, so she could only force herself to take a seat by the dining table.
“Mummy, this is sweet and sour fish which is your favourite. It is something uncle has specially ordered aunty chef to make!”
Stella winked as she said this as if she wanted to flatter her mother.
Upon hearing that, Hayden was seized by a little awkwardness. She shot a momentary glance at Joseph.
“Thank you. It must have been some hard work.”
Joseph didn’t stand on ceremony somehow as he mumbled a response.
Just as he was about to pick up some dishes, his sleeve was held back by some force. He looked down and saw that Noah was grabbing his sleeve and his other hand was holding a drawing board which had this term on it Send me some food.
Joseph helplessly picked up some food and sent to his bowl.
Noah suddenly looked anxious as he fumbled with Joseph’s sleeves while shooting glances in Hayden’s direction. Only then did Joseph realize about Noah’s true intentions He was hinting at Joseph to send some food to Hayden, not to his own bowl.
This rascal!
Hayden was quietly chowing down on her food when suddenly a slender hand appeared in front of her eyes. A pair of chopsticks landed a small piece of braised fish meet in her plate.
She raised her head and met Joseph’s serene eyes. She was really flattered by his move.
“Thank you, I can do that myself.”
