President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 91

Since Hayden had discovered the fact that Joseph was the man that she had encountered six years ago, every bit of her profound detestation and loathing these past few years for the guy whom had completely altered her fate was redirected to him. Her affection and favorable impression that she had developed for him during their interaction recently were engulfed by hatred that had been devouring her throughout all these years.

Upon laying her eyes on Hayden’s resentful and sullen expression, Alayna immediately knew that she was not fooling around this time. She knitted her brows in contemplation, and after a few moments, her eyes glinted as an idea had popped up inside her mind.

“I have an idea, Hayden.”

“What is it?”

“Your marriage with Edison is still valid on paper, right? Do you want to consider asking for his help?”

As soon as Hayden heard Edison Godfery’s name, her expression froze slightly. She shook her head firmly after pondering over the thought, “Nah, I don’t want to burden him with my trouble.”

She had already given him a lot of troubles during her stay overseas, so it was not right to ask for his help anymore now that she had come back.

Alayna sighed worriedly, “I know nothing that I say will make you change your mind since you always have an obstinate personality and is as stubborn as a mule.” She patted Hayden’s shoulder and continued, “Just know that I will always be by your side no matter what, and feel free to reach out to me anytime when you bump into trouble.”

Hayden stared at Alayna gratefully as her moving words had allayed her anxiousness and made her heart eased up a little.

“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine now. By the way, what is up with your WeChat Moments these days? Are you seeing someone?”

Alayna’s eyes darted around the room when she was suddenly put on the spot. “That’s impossible. Oh right, it just hit me that I still have a contract that was not issued yet, so I’ll head back to my room now.” As soon as she finished her sentence, she immediately made an expeditious retreat into her room to avoid the burning question.

Hayden could not help but to smile as she stared at her back figure disappearing from her sight.

Freddie and Stella landed three days later after flying back from their shoot abroad. They had managed to avoid the horde of fans in the airport by taking the green channel to the exit.

Hayden had come to pick them up from the airport, and as soon as Stella had caught sight of her, she ran frantically and threw her whole body at her mom, her silvery giggle echoed in the airport.

“Did you have a lot of fun, Stella?” All her worries and anxiety had dissipated instantly when she laid her eyes on her beautiful daughter.

“Of course, we had so much fun!” Stella hugged her neck tightly and pecked her on the cheek while asking softly in a mysterious manner, “Why did you leave so suddenly, Mummy? Did you plan it out with Joseph and Noah to leave me alone by myself?”

Hayden was startled by the information as she asked uncertainly, “What, did they leave earlier as well?”

Freddie gave a discreet cough and chipped in to change the subject of the conversation, “The car is here, let’s get in first.”

To celebrate the success of wrapping up the shoot for the first episode of the show, Freddie’s agency had prepared a dinner banquet. All the guest artists and behind-the-scenes crew that had starred in and contributed to the show’s progress were invited to the party. Hayden was naturally on the guest list as well as Stella’s guardian.

The banquet was not a formal occasion hence the atmosphere was more relaxed and everyone whom had attended was cladded in casual outfits. Hayden and Stella were enjoying themselves as well, the two of them feasting on all the scrumptious food and tasty drinks comfortably.

Stella was carried by the director in his arms to be introduced to the others in the middle of their meal as Hayden watched from afar.

Her innocent and angelic face was beaming with a radiant smile, and her demeanor which was full of humor and vibrancy had made it hard for Hayden to capture the similarity between her and Joseph’s features. However, it was apparent that they were cut from the same cloth when she had quieted down, her striking features looking very similar to his.

Hayden’s heart suddenly swelled with uneasiness from the realization and she instantly gulped down a mouthful of water to calm her restless mind.

“Hayden.” A husky voice rang behind her, and it had given her a jolt which had made her heart race again just when it had finally managed to calm down, her hand clasping the glass in her hand tightly.

Joseph whom was decked out in a black suit strode towards her and stopped when he had reached beside her. He shot his gaze towards Stella whom was faraway side by side with her.

With a glass of red wine in his hand and another hand thrusted casually in his pocket, he asked nonchalantly, “Why did you leave Maldives without saying a word?

“It’s nothing, an emergency came up at home.” Hayden was suddenly thrown into a state of nerves as she had developed inexpressible antipathy and repugnance towards him after knowing the truth. It was as if her self-defense mechanism had been triggered and it had forced her to stay away from him.

“Is it about the house? Or is it because of me?”

Hayden’s brows wrinkled after hearing his unexpected question.
