The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 147

“What's wrong?”

Joseph took on a ghastly expression and Hayden didn’t know why.

After taking the earrings out of the jewellery box for quite some time, Joseph seemed to have confirmed something. He went to the study room opposite and took out an aged black-and-white photo. It seemed old because the corners of the photo were yellow.

The photo was a young woman in a cheongsam, about eighteen to nineteen years old. She was a beauty that looked indifferent. She wore a golden necklet around her neck with two different sizes of jade. Although the jades were old, the smooth outline of the jades could still be seen clearly.

“This is?” Hayden was a little puzzled.

Joseph compared the earrings and put down the photo.

"This was my grandmother. The necklace around her neck was her family's heirloom. There were two inlaid jades, a big and a small one. Later, they were caught up in war and the Beckham Mansion was taken away by the military. The Beckham family had changed, so she sold the smaller jade away to subsidize their household expenses."

“The smaller one?” Hayden’s eyes fell on the earring in his hand. The outline of the inlaid jade was very similar to the jade in the photo, "Is this the one?"

Joseph nodded.

No one had expected that this jade would travel all the way overseas and reached Jennifer's hands.

Now, it was back in Hayden's hands.

“What about the other one?” She asked hurriedly.

When she mentioned this, Joseph frowned.

“Grandpa handed over the remaining jade to me. I made it into a necklace, but unfortunately I lost it six years ago.”

Hayden was stunned. She couldn't help holding her fist tightly and her face seemed a little nervous.

The necklace that he meant, should be the one that Hayden had pulled out from his neck that year.

“What's wrong? What are you thinking about?”

Joseph’s voice pulled her thoughts back. She was spacing out while saying perfunctorily, "Nothing, I was just quite surprised. I didn't expect that this earring would have anything to do with the Beckham family."

“It might be fate.” Joseph’s eyes were warm and it was the first time he had spoken about fate, which was not worth mentioning by him before.

Hayden was in a very complicated mood. After she had said goodbye to Mr. Beckham, she was still thinking about the necklace when she took her children home.

It was true after all that fate enjoyed fooling people. The existence of that necklace would always remind her of what happened six years ago, reminding her that she was hiding her identity from Joseph. It was originally a clue to find her son, but now it had become a difficult problem to deal with.

When she moved, she put the earrings and the necklace into the safety locker. As she locked the safety locker, it was as though she had locked it with all the memories that she didn't want to recall for a while and sighed heavily.

“You two will live here from now on. Do you guys like it?”

She spent a whole afternoon to tidy up the house before picking up the two little kids from Alayna’s house.

Stella was very excited. She opened every door in the house and looked around, "Wow, this is so beautiful. It's much bigger than the room in Aunt Alayna's house. I really like my room."

“It was your Grandma who had decorated it for you.”

Hayden followed behind her and looked at the dolls that were nicely decorated in the room. She felt extremely warm.

Her aunt told her that this house had always been empty and no one bothered to take care of it. But after she had come, the house was fully furnished and the simple daily necessities were added in the house. Stella’s room was even beautifully painted in pink and filled with children's toys. The clothes in her wardrobe were all brand-new.

“Noah, this is your room.”

Hayden opened a door and waved at Noah, "Come and have a look."

Noah nodded obediently and walked over. He stood at the door of the room and looked at it for a while. Just like his father, she couldn’t see whether he liked it or not.

“Do you like it?” Hayden took the initiative to ask, "The decoration is quite simple. Grandma probably didn’t know you were going to live here, so I'll redecorate your room again in a future. You can tell me what you like."

Noah ran back to the couch and took his small drawing board. He looked down and wrote a few words on it. Then, he lifted it up, "Anything is fine as long as I’m staying with you and Stella.”
