“You’ll stay in this room.” Hayden opened the door to a bedroom, “I’ve told Alayna and she said it’s alright for you to stay here.”
“Alayna is a chivalrous woman. Of course, she will help out.” Freddie tilted his head to look into the room and nodded in satisfaction.
“Don’t take advantage of the situation. Quickly move out once you found a place for yourself. This isn’t my house and it’s inappropriate for you to keep staying here.”
“Understood.” Freddie placed his arm over her shoulder, “Sis, what are we eating tonight?”
“Noodles!”
“I love the noodles cooked by you!”
Stella was enjoying the chocolates that Freddie brought for her from overseas. After her door was opened, she just sat on the carpet and listened to the sounds from outside and thought of Mr. Beckham’s reaction at the kindergarten. Her large eyes started to turn.
Mommy and Mr. Beckham lived together for so long and there wasn’t any progress. Looked like she needed to urge them on!
The next day, Hayden went to buy vegetables in the morning. Since Freddie was back, she needed to give him a proper welcome. Just as she left, the doorbell rang. Freddie went to open the door and asked, “Did you forget something?”
He opened the door but it wasn’t Hayden.
“You are?” Joseph held onto Noah’s hand and stood by the door. Noah kicked up a tantrum early in the morning that he wanted to eat at Hayden’s place. When he came, he didn’t expect Freddie to be there and his expression immediately changed.
Freddie thought and realized with a clap, “I saw you at the kindergarten yesterday. You must be Stella’s friend’s father! Do you live here as well?”
“Mr. Beckham!” Stella’s voice came from inside the house, “Noah, you’re here as well.”
She ran out with the pattering of her feet and said, “Freddie, Mr. Beckham is mommy’s boss and also her good friend. Noah is my schoolmate. They frequently come here to eat.”
“Oh. Alright.” Freddie laughed and stood aside, “Come inside, don’t stand at the door.” He behaved as he was the man of the house.
Noah frowned and stared at him.
Freddie didn’t notice the little guy and smiled at Joseph, “Hayden came back to the country not long ago and doesn’t have many friends. I’ve heard of the issues with getting into ST Group. You must be taking good care of her.”
“She is very capable.” Joseph answered and asked, “How are you related to Hayden? Yesterday I heard Stella calling you uncle?” But he didn’t know that the Downey family had a son.
“Yeah.” Freddie raised his eyebrows, “I’m adopted up by Hayden. I’m considered her half-brother but we’re not related. More accurately, I’m her future boyfriend. She’s raising me up to be her husband.”
…
Joseph lived for thirty years and never seen a man labeling himself as such and with that tone.
“You’re humorous.” Joseph simply said.
“Humorous?” Freddie looked at him, “Do you think that I’m joking? I’m saying the truth. In any case, Hayden will be my girlfriend soon. Ask Stella if you don’t believe.”
Three sets of eyes looked towards Stella.
Stella was stunned for a moment and then nodded, “Yeah, mommy and Freddie are very close! It would be cool if Freddie becomes my father.”
Joseph felt a lump in his throat when he heard this and replied, “Your mommy is very gracious. She already has a daughter and yet is going for a younger man? I really didn’t notice this side of her.”
