Hayden felt very upset after hearing Alayna’s unkind words.
She seemed to be so dishonest, concealing a lot of things from Joseph deliberately. But she did all of this was just to get along with the two children, wasn’t it?
She was self-doubting when she met the two kids at the Beckham’s mansion in the afternoon. She felt uneasy, especially when Harrison Beckham praising her for treating Noah Beckham well. And she blushed inexplicably.
Noah was her own son. How could she not treat him well?
“Mommy, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you and Joseph come together.”
During the lunch break, Stella Downey and Noah stayed in each side of Hayden’s arms. Stella chattered endlessly, and she seemed to be very fond of the living environment here in the Beckham’s mansion.
“He’s busy. Didn’t you know it? The hotel was on fire and there’s much to deal with after that.”
“But mommy, why didn’t you go to work?”
“Mommy is on leave, so I can spend more time with you guys. Don’t you like it?”
“Yes. We do.”
Speaking of the fire, Hayden tilted her head, with her chin rested against Noah’s head and said, “Noah, I’m so sorry for not noticing you in the cold storage that day.”
Noah quietly listened to the two of them talking but then suddenly got out of the bed when he heard Hayden’s words. He grabbed his drawing board and wrote a line, “It’s okay. Mommy would have brought me out if you had seen me.”
Seeing that Noah was such a good boy, Hayden stroke his head gratefully, “Noah, you’re such a good boy. You knew that mommy won’t abandon you.”
Noah immediately wrote on the board again, “Really???”
Noah looked nervous and seemed not to believe that Hayden would always be with him.
“Of course.”
Hayden didn’t know why Noah was so worried and thought that the fire had cast a shadow on his heart. And she was chagrined about it.
Stella, on the other side, sighed, “Noah is worried that Joseph likes someone else. In fact, I’m also very worried too.”
Hayden was stunned after hearing the two kids talking. She only then learned that the Sanchez family had come to the mansion several times, especially Elizabeth Sanchez, who always came to talk about the engagement back then. Harrison was trying to hide it from the kids, but nothing could be concealed.
Noah looked downcast and wrote on the drawing board, “I don’t want others to be my mommy.”
Hayden was heartbroken seeing Noah’s pitiful look.
Hayden embraced him heartily and said, “I won’t let others to be your mother. If this really happens, I’ll take you with me.”
The butler made a few calls after coming out of Harrison’s study. Before dinner, there were many cars parked in front of the Beckham’s mansion. And the living room was full of the Beckham family’s relatives, gathering together.
“It’s not any festival today. Why did Harrison gather us all here?”
“I just received a call and come here. I know nothing. I thought you guys knew about it.”
“Could it be something happened to the company?”
