The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 140

“Yes,” Hayden nodded, “Stella, this is your great aunt.”

“Stella…” Scarlett repeated Stella’s name and glared at Hayden out of sudden, “What great aunt? Are you calling me old?”

“What should Stella call you then?” Hayden felt awkward.

Scarlett left quite an impression on Hayden when she was a child. Her aunt was always mean, as far as Hayden could have remembered. Hayden was scared of her during her childhood. If it wasn’t for Hayden’s grandfather, Hayden would have scared to death every time she met her aunt.

“All right, never mind.”

Stella quickly greeted Scarlett, “Good day, great aunt.”

The cold expression on Scarlett's face turned warm. She beckoned to Stella, “Come nearer. Let me have a clear look at you. I’m getting old. I couldn’t see things every clear now.”

Stella asked permission from Hayden, then approached Scarlett after Hayden agreed. She raised her head and asked, “Is it near enough for you, great aunt?”

Scarlett smiled, “You’re not afraid of me?”

“Why should I be afraid of you? You’re not monster nor caterpillar.”

“Because the children were usually afraid of me.”

“Really?” Stella widened her eyes as if she heard an anecdote. She then replied in a serious tone, “They are too easily frightened then. Parents shouldn’t allow them to act like that. How could they protect their family in the future?”

“You should go and train them then.”

Scarlett laughed heartily. Hayden had never seen her aunt laughed like that.

Scarlett patted Stella’s hand after a while, then stood up and looked at Hayden.

“Look at her attitude. Do you want to hand her to me?”

Hayden didn’t understand, “What do you mean?”

“I know you gave birth to Stella overseas behind the Downey family’s back. They won’t recognize her anyway. I don’t want to know what happened to her father, but it’s not good for you for her to stay with you. How would you get married to her? I don’t want to be blamed by your mother when we meet in heaven.”

Scarlett was straightforward, but what she said had scared Stella until she hid behind Hayden, “I don’t want to be away from mommy. Mommy’s boyfriend likes me a lot, and I like him too. You don’t have to be worried about mommy’s marriage.”

Scarlett took a glimpse at Stella and continued, “I’ve heard about you and Joseph. He has a son too. If you didn’t have a daughter, I wouldn’t agree with your relationship with him at all. Since these are the facts that we can’t change, you need to think about it carefully. The Beckham family isn’t as simple as you think. You better make up your mind after I’ve investigated their family background.”

Hayden pursed her lips and listened to the advice from her aunt. She never thought of refuting anything. She was still terrified by the impression of her aunt in her childhood.

A man and a child walked near the entrance of the cemetery during their conversation. They heard the second half of what Scarlett said. They stopped, “Ask me anything you want to know. You don’t need to do any investigations.”

Hayden was stunned. She saw Joseph and Noah when she looked in the direction of the entrance.

Noah shrugged off Joseph’s hand and ran towards Hayden when he saw her. He then started to play games with Stella.

Scarlett turned around and stood in front of Hayden. She sized up Joseph emotionlessly, “The Director of the ST Group, Joseph Beckham?”

It was rare to see people who didn’t see him as a notable person. However, there were many people like this when he was with Hayden.
