“You are such a brat…”
Joseph looked depressed, “Have you forgotten that you are my son. I am your father, and she is not your natural mother.”
“Exactly.” Noah wrote down two words on the drawing board quickly.
Joseph felt that reasoning with children was basically going to drive him into a psychopath. So, he didn’t bother to argue with Noah anymore, “Sit down, let’s go to great-grandpa’s house for dinner tonight.”
“I don’t want to eat.”
“If you don’t want to eat, I’ll call your mother and tell her that you just break your promise to her that you don’t want to eat anymore. I will ask her not to come this weekend. Then, you will be starving.”
Hearing her words, Noah immediately became anxious. His face flushed red with anger. Stomping his legs, he said, “You…you’re so bad.”
“Okay, I’m bad.”
Joseph looked at him, “You can think I’m a bad guy, but please think clearly whether you want to eat or not on the way to go to grandpa’s house.”
After finishing his words, he closed the back seat door. He got in the car and started the engine of the car. Then, he drove to the Beckhams' Mansion.
Since Franklin took over the ST Group, he has become an idle man. He stayed at home every day reading the newspaper. He also took over the housekeeper’s job to fetch Noah as if he tried his best to be a good father.
However, Noah didn’t seem to appreciate his effort. The most frequent question he would ask every day was when he and Hayden would reconcile. Noah thought that Hayden and Joseph were simply arguing.
On the other side, Stella sat in the back seat and said angrily as if she was an adult, “Mummy, I thought you broke up with Mr. Beckham. So, don’t be together with him all the time after you broke up with him.”
Hayden laughed as she heard Stella’s words, “Why? I thought that last time you liked Mr. Beckham so much.”
“That was last time. Mr. Beckham is getting married to someone else, right? Moreover, he’s not treating you as good as daddy treating you, so you better not be with him. Mummy, if you don’t like daddy, you can find someone else, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
“Hey. Little kid, you even know the idiom “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. Who taught you that?”
“Aiden, Aiden taught me that.”
“Aiden again?”
Hayden looked puzzled for a moment.
This boy called Aiden was a new transfer student in the class. Stella always mentioned his name lately, and the frequency of mentioning his name was so high until it had far surpassed the frequency of Stella mentioning Noah’s name.
As she was thinking about it, Stella was still looking serious, “Anyway, you shouldn’t get too close to Mr. Beckham. It will block you from having love affairs with other men.”
“Did Aiden tell you that again?”
Stella nodded her head seriously.
“Well, Aiden knows everything.”
Hayden was a little depressed.
She had thought that the little girl had seen the world and was not easily fooled by others. However, it had only been a short time since she had returned to China, and she had been fooled by the little boy in her class.
She held back her laughter and asked her.
“But what should we do if your brother refuses to eat at home? I’ve promised Mr. Beckham to cook for Noah at your great grandfather’s house every weekend.”
“Huh?”
Stella frowned. Her pink little face scrunched up in frustration. She displayed a look as if she didn’t know what to do.
“If you don’t want to see Mr. Beckham, then you just don’t go there. I will send you to the office during the weekend and you can stay with Mr. Burke and let him make clothes for your dolls.”
“I don’t want.”
Stella held her arms, “I want to go there.”
“Why, didn’t you say that you don’t want to see Mr. Beckham?” Hayden held the steering wheel. She was puzzled and asked her again.
