Hayden felt that Harrison was suspecting that she was stalking Joseph. She felt like she was wronged.
Hearing her words, Harrison’s face turned a bit pale. “You’re the one who asked for the break-up? Tell me. What are the things that you think Joseph is not good enough?”
Hayden was stunned for a moment.
Mark immediately reminded Harrison, “Sir…”
Only then did Harrison regained his consciousness, he coughed and changed his tone, “It’s good that you know what you should do.”
Hayden’s expression turned normal, “Stella still needs to have her lunch. I’ll bring her to leave here first.”
“Wait a moment.”
Harrison stopped her.
“Since you’ve come to cook for Noah, you shouldn’t just leave after you’ve finished cooking for him. In the Beckham family, the people who come to work will always be appreciated, not to mention that you still have to come again in the evening, it’s too much trouble for you to go back and forth.”
“No need.” Hayden, however, felt that staying there was the trouble.
“If you don’t think anything weird, you can have a meal with us together, as a guest of the Beckham family.”
Harrison’s voice was cold and intimidating as if it meant that Hayden was thinking something unkind if she didn’t want to stay there to have a meal with them.
Frowning, Hayden hesitated for a moment. She thought that she would be able to meet Noah at the dining table. Therefore, she agreed, “Since you said so, sir, it would seem like I’m being pretentious if I don’t stay here to have a meal with you all.”
When she agreed, she did not think much about what Harrison’s intention was. It was only when she arrived at the dining room and sat face to face with Addison that she understood Harrison’s intention of asking her to stay there for lunch.
Harrison was trying to show her that Joseph already had a girlfriend and she shouldn’t approach him anymore.
Hayden felt that his action was ridiculous and she looked at Addison who was sitting opposite her. She smiled at Addison politely as a greeting.
“You two should know each other. The company Addison works for has worked with ST Hotel before.”
Harrison looked around at Both Hayden and Addison. When he looked at Addison, his look was obviously much more loving.
Hayden felt that things in this world really changed very quickly. A few months ago, Harrison had said that she would be the one who married Joseph. At that time, she didn’t even look at Addison. However, at this time, he liked Addison so much compared to her.
She didn’t think too much about it. When she was lowering her head, Joseph brought Noah into the dining room.
As Hayden was facing the entrance of the dining room with her back, so she could only guess the people who came in by listening to the footsteps. When the maid greeted him, Joseph kept walking forward. He stopped walking when he reached a certain position behind Hayden.
“Grandpa … why is she here?”
Of course, the question that Joseph asked was why Addison was there.
However, Harrison said, “After all, Ms. Downey came here to cook for Noah. Although she insisted on leaving, I felt that this was not the way to treat the guests. Therefore, I asked her to stay here to have lunch together. Joseph, come and sit.”
Hayden secretly clenched her fingers tightly. She felt really disappointed.
She knew that Joseph was going to get engaged to Addison, and she was still here to join them for lunch. She must be crazy to do such things.
When she was so embarrassed until she wanted to dig a hole on the ground and vanish from it, she didn’t notice that Joseph was standing behind her. Wrinkling his eyebrows, he asked, “Are you planning to leave here straight away after cooking the dishes?”
Hayden turned around. She said with a muffled voice, “I’m just here to cook for Noah. It’s not appropriate for me to stay here."
"Good." Joseph’s face turned gloomy, “It’s quite good.”
