The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 273

Mark stared at her with mellowness and wisdom in his eyes.

“Joseph’s stubborn and he really thinks that you are the one. It’s only a matter of time that he’ll marry you. The barrier between him and his grandpa has long existed. If you could help them erase the hard feeling, I think Mr. Harrison would be happy to accept you.

“You overestimate me, Mark. Why are you so sure that I can help you?”

“Because I believe the accident three years ago wasn’t done by Mr. Joseph. He’s cold, not inhuman. The Beckhams just lack communication. We just need you to persuade Joseph to sit down and hash it out with his grandfather.”

At present, Haden seemed to be the only person that Joseph would listen to.

Mark’s intention was good. But he didn’t know Hayden had already looked into the accident and her view on it was in sync with Harrison. She didn’t trust Joseph as much as Mark thought she would.

People change, and Joseph had changed a lot since she first met him. He might not do such things now. but the Joseph in the past could.

“Mark, why are you so certain that Joseph had nothing to do with it?”

“Joseph grew up under my watch, he spent a lot more time with me than anyone else. Everyone knows he evicted his mom when he’s thirteen. But the truth was complicated than it seemed to be.”

Hayden was intrigued, and puzzled.

“His mother had been pregnant for five months when he demanded her to leave. His parents were always apart. Her mother came back for his father’s funeral after the car crash. That being said, how could the baby in her be a Beckham?”

Noticing that Hayden was still kind of confused, Mark decided to put it plain, “Though Joseph’s mother’s Mr. Harrison’s favorite adopted daughter, he wouldn’t let such scandal ruin his son and his family’s reputation. For the pride of the Harrison, he wouldn’t let the kid survive.”

“So,” Hayden was shocked, “Joseph did that to protect the kid?”

“Joseph isn’t as cold as people portray him,” Mark sighed, “he’s just not good at expressing his feelings. Miss Hayden, please, help Joseph.”

Hayden was conflicted.

The truth that Mark told him did change her view of Joseph. But she dug out the truth of the accident three years ago with Benjamin. If that’s not the truth, then what is?

She didn't give Mark an affirmative answer but told him that she would consider it.

It was pitch-dark when Hayden came. Benjamin, now a full-time “nanny”, was lying on the couch with Noah and Stella held in his arms. They’re all asleep, snoring.

She put the takeout on a table, and gave Benjamin a gentle push to wake him up.

“Hi, Hayden.” Benjamin greeted as he yawned.

“Go sleep in your room. Thank you for looking after the kids.”

“No problem.” Benjamin rubbed his eyes, and then snuffed, “What’d you bring home?”

“Some deserts. Want to have some? Have you had dinner yet?”
