The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 286

Half an hour earlier, Benjamin received Freddie’s call informing him that Hayden had left the banquet early. He wanted to check if she had reached home as he was unable to reach her on her mobile. He also updated Benjamin on what happened during the banquet.

“Luckily Freddie and Cleveland were there to ease the situation.”

With a complicated expression, Benjamin turned and asked, “Do you think what they said are true?”

Joseph seemed to be caught in his thoughts and did not seem to listen to Benjamin's words.

“Anyway, I don’t think it’s true.”

Before waiting for a response, Benjamin answered his question. He got up from the sofa with a cup in his hand and turned to head to his room and said, “Many things can go wrong, and if you weren’t there to experience it, you would not be sure who how fate would make you together with.”.

Joseph didn't listen to Benjamin’s words. After the living room became quiet, he walked to the door of the master bedroom. He was about to knock on the door, but the moment his hand fell, he stopped and pondered for a while.

He didn't know what happened at the banquet, but it was not difficult to guess. When the farce was happening, he was in the toilet washing his hands when he received the housekeeper's call and ran into Belinda when he came out.

No wonder Belinda said those.

He did not even bother to ask her where she heard it.

He was annoyed thinking about the whole matter. Just last night, he promised to protect Hayden in that complex environment yet now he is embarrassed.

After her bath, Hyden walked out while she towel-dried her hair as she looked at the door but she did not hear any movements.

She turned over on the bed as the moonlight was shining through the curtain gap knowing it would be a sleepless night.

The weather would drop drastically every October. Earlier today, when she got out from Kingsley's car, she already felt the strong winter chill.

However, as compared to the physical chill, the human heart was colder.

She felt that some people's hearts are scary. Regardless of how long it has been, those people from her past hadn’t changed. Even if you felt that they had changed, perhaps it was only because it was just a facade and she never truly knew them.

Kingsley was still a coward, Michelle was still unscrupulous, and around them were all shamelessly seeking personal gains.

Despite trying to bury her secret from six years ago with time, it was like a ticking bomb, waiting for the right moment to explode.

She was unsure if Joseph knew about the accident at today's reception. If possible, she hoped that he was unaware. For she was extremely sensitive to matters that involved what happened six years ago.

The early winter’s rain rained all night.

The next morning, when Hayden got up, it was still dark, and the weather had dropped ten degrees. She had to put on a slightly thicker woolen jacket.

After getting ready, she initially wanted to avoid Joseph however she didn't expect to see a figure on the sofa in the living room.

With a height of 1.87 meters, the two-seater sofa was too small for him. A pair of slender legs hung on the armrests of the sofa, covered with only a blanket and last night’s clothes. Hayden felt cold looking at his state.

After hesitating for a while, she walked over and shook his shoulder.

“Go back to your room and sleep.”

Joseph did not respond as if he was asleep.

“Joseph”

Hayden frowned as she poked his shoulders, “I don't have time to play with you. I'm leaving now. Go back to your room and go to sleep.”.

He still did not respond.

Hayden was stunned for a moment and suddenly touched his forehead.

Her heart tightened.

It was burning.
