President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 68

Hayden was consumed by rage as she kicked the both of them out of the kitchen immediately.

It seemed that the two of them had something strange about them. If they continued to stay in the kitchen, it was very likely that the meal would never come to completion.

Joseph and Freddie were both shut out of the kitchen, and as their eyes met, both of them were looking at the other disdainfully.

At the moment, Stella and Noah were crouching behind the door of the bedroom and checking out the situation in the kitchen through the tiny gap. They were stifling their laughter by covering their mouths.

“See, what did I say last time? He will only feel motivated if there is some external pressure.” Stella was looking smug.

Noah nodded furiously in agreement, and he was obviously thrilled.

This was the first time he had seen his father taking the initiative when it came to women.

Their lunch was very scrumptious as fish slices, braised chicken wings, stir-fried shredded pork with lettuce, tomato and egg soup were all served on the table. Intoxicating aroma was spreading out in the air.

Everyone was very supportive as they wolfed down everything in no time.

After lunch, the two children went back to the room to continue having fun while Freddie was helping to tidy up the cutleries on the table as if he was afraid that the other guy would take a step further. He offered to wash the cutleries after this.

“Hayden, I will make sure each of them would be sparkling clean.”

Hayden was happy to let him help out, so she wasn’t going to stand on ceremony, “Then you can wash all of them. Don’t break any of those plates.”

“You don’t have anything to worry about.”

Freddie carried those cutleries to the kitchen while in an upbeat mood, but after washing those for a while, he had a feeling that something was off.

While he was working hard to wash these plates and bowls, didn’t he just give the two of them the perfect window to be alone together? He turned around and glanced at the living room, but nobody was there. Where had they gone to?

Stella was in the bedroom, and the two adults and the two young ones were surrounding aeroplane chess. The four of them represented a faction in this chess war, and they were progressing through this game with much jubilance.

“I finally reach the end! All of you are losers now, so you all get a sticker.”

Stella, who had her face almost full of yellow stickers, excitedly stuck a yellow sticker on each of Joseph, Amber and Noah’s faces.

The four of them had so many stickers on their faces that they looked like a striped cat.

Freddie, who was wearing rubber gloves used to wash dishes, stood by the door and grumbled, “You guys leave me out while you are having fun with a game while I wash the dishes alone. You guys are too much.”

All of them turned their heads and looked at the door.

Hayden felt a little embarrassed by his words since Freddie had just returned to the country yesterday and she shouldn’t mistreat her guest despite being very familiar with each other. She suggested, “What if you come and play while I go wash the dishes?”

“Who is interested to play with that guy?”

Freddie furrowed his brows as he was convinced that Hayden wouldn’t allow Joseph to wash the dishes. He said with agony, “Wait for me to finish washing the dishes, I will be here in no time.”

After that, he disappeared into the kitchen and washed the dishes with crazy speed.

Hayden didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry upon seeing that.

Ten minutes later, Freddie joined the fray, and the game changed from aeroplane chess to five-in-a-row, to international chess and to Go, and in the end, only Freddie and Joseph were left duking it out with the chess set.

Joseph was very scheming while Freddie could also hold his ground. Freddie was good at international chess while Joseph trumped over him in a game of Go, and throughout the whole afternoon, they were as good as one another, and it the end it was a draw.

The sky had turned dark, and Hayden was calling them to have dinner from outside the room.

Freddie didn’t know when had Hayden gone out of the room, and with a sudden jolt, he realized that he had wasted a whole afternoon with Joseph here. He felt a terrible regret at the moment.

After dinner, Freddie asked Joseph without reservation, “It’s getting late now, when are you bringing your son back home?”
