The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 144

“Aunt?” Hayden was stunned. Not able to control herself, she laughed out of a blue.

That girl was seemingly at most twelve or thirteen years old, but her seniority in the family was surprisingly greater than Joseph. It was hard to imagine how the situation that Joseph called her aunt would look like.

She glimpsed at Joseph and saw that his face did not look good. She bore herself from laughing to give him an out.

“Mark, this is just nominal, right? I think Joseph never calls her aunt, right?”

Unexpectedly, not knowing whether the butler was intentional or unintentional, he shook his head and directly denied, “He still has to call. Although Miss Eleanor is an adopted daughter, her name is already in the family tree. Every year, during Miss Eleanor’s birthday or the ancestor worship at Spring Festival time, he has to call her.”

Joseph glanced coldly at the butler, “Mark, you are getting old so you also tend to speak more and more unnecessary words. I think it is time to let you retire and go back to your house.”

Hayden lowered her head and kept herself from laughing.

The butler immediately shut his mouth. He smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.

“There is a threshold here, pay attention and remember to lift your feet. Pay more attention, Little Noah and Little Stella.”

The mansion of the Beckham family was a protected historic building in Nanking. It was a traditional mansion with spacious halls and extensive courtyards. They passed through several winding corridors and built-in mansion doors. After walking for quite a while, they finally arrived at the place to eat.

Although Harrison’s hair was all white, his body was hale and he could stand in an upright position.

“Mr. Beckham,” Hayden greeted him respectfully.

“Don’t need to be so formal. It isn’t a work occasion. Furthermore, I’m already retired, so don’t call me Mr. Beckham. You can just call me grandpa like Joseph, don’t need to be overcautious.”

Hearing this, Hayden’s face slightly blushed. After hesitating for a while, she called out, “Grandpa.”

Harrison felt satisfactory. He then looked at Stella and Noah with a smile.

“Stella and Noah, come over to sit beside Great-grandpa.”

Stella was not like an outsider at all. She held Harrison’s hand and kissed on his cheek, “Great-grandpa, I want to eat that fried ice cream.”

“Sure, the maids in the kitchen have prepared it for you. You’ll be able to eat it later.”

Seeing the warm scene in which Harrison and Stella had a close relationship, Hayden was a little suspicious, “When does Stella get so familiar with you?”

Harrison was slightly stunned. His brain was surprisingly stuck.

The butler hurriedly replied, “After meeting once in the hospital, Master has been very fond of Little Stella. And after he hears that she has a good relationship with Little Noah, he has given his phone number to Little Stella and has gotten her phone number too. Sometimes, he will ask Little Stella about Little Noah’s matter in school.”

“Oh, I see.” Hayden did not suspect anymore, “This sounds reasonable. This is the first time Noah goes to school. It is normal that you may worry because he is alone at school.”

However, Joseph’s eyes looked somewhat complicated and he stared at Harrison for a while.

When Harrison, who had always been calm and self-possessed met Joseph's eyes, he coughed dryly and pretended to avoid it inadvertently.

These signs made Joseph realized that there must be some secrets between these two kids and Grandpa. Grandpa was so familiar with Stella and it totally did not look like they had only met once.

“Grandpa, the fried ice cream was also part of the conversations of you guys over the phone?” He purposely wanted to demolish their plans.

Harrison’s brain was stuck again. He glanced at the butler but this time, the butler also did not know what to do.
