Chapter 39
Chapter 39:.
“Sir, this matter should have nothing to do with Miss Kidman.” The butler frowned as he found himself in a difficult situation.
“Nothing to do with her?” Harrison’s brow furrowed, “How can you be so sure of that?”
“When little Noah had the accident, Miss Kidman was in the master’s room.” The butler bit his tongue and explained, “A maid accidentally walked in and saw that the two of them were in bed.”
Hearing this, Harrison’s face turned blue. His fist landed on the rosewood table with a loud thud and he said coldly. “Scoundrel.”
Violet had always disliked him. He didn’t need to think otherwise. The gossip about her these years had been increasing from time to time.
Besides, after Joseph had brought her back six years ago, Harrison had asked someone to look into Violet’s background. At first she had been a waitress recommending drinks at a nightclub, but by now she had worked her way up to a top position in the entertainment industry. This could not be explained by the words opportunity and luck alone.
This woman was very ambitious.
“Sir, do I need to investigate this matter further?”. Harrison took a deep breath and his eyes darkened.
“No need, I need you to do something else.”
…
In the evening, Hayden drove Stella home. Stella kept chattering the whole way, which annoyed Hayden.
“Mister is handsome, rich and funny. Mommy, you’ve really found a treasure this time.”
“You be quiet.”
Hayden pulled out the key to open the door and rolled his eyes at Stella. After opening the door and ushering Stella in, he replied as he changed his shoes, “It’s true he’s handsome, but he’s not that amazingly handsome, do you think he’s more handsome than your Uncle Freddie?”
Hearing this, Stella frowned and her eyes instantly widened. “Of course not, Freddie is a superstar, the most handsome person in the world. I’ll marry him in the future.”
“Yeah what’s your problem then?”. Hayden smiled and corrected her at the same time, “Freddie is your uncle. So you can’t marry him in the future and he can’t wait that long for you.”
“No, Freddie said he would wait until I grew up.”
“He was lying to you.” Hayden rolled his eyes at Stella, “I can’t believe you believe those words.”
“I don’t care. Anyway, Freddie is mine.”
“All right, all right, he’s yours.”
Hayden was lazy to argue with her on this matter. He was just using Freddie as an excuse to divert Stella’s attention from Joseph. “By the way, Freddie called me two days ago, saying he was coming back to give a concert, do you want to attend?”.
“Of course!” Stella’s face was full of excitement, “Freddie’s coming back!”.
“Not yet, but he will be back very soon. If you want to attend, then behave obediently.” Hayden lowered his body, patted Stella’s shoulder and spoke in a slightly threatening tone, “If you think any more nonsense, I won’t take you to the concert.”
“No!” Apparently, Stella was facing an enemy.
“Then go take a shower now and go to bed.”
After Freddie was used as a trump card, Stella obeyed instructions like a trooper. She didn’t dare mention the matter of Joseph again before going to bed.
After running for a day, Hayden also slept like a log.
The next day the weather was fine.
Hayden went to the market early in the morning to buy things. When he returned, he prepared food and took Stella to the hospital. After thinking about it, he came back and took the revised planning script to the hospital.
“I made chicken soup with black bones today. You can’t keep eating snakehead soup because you’ll get sick of it. Almost that change the taste, black bone chicken soup is also quite nutritious.”
After Hayden opened the lid of the thermal container, the pleasant smell of chicken soup filled the entire room. He first handed a bowl of chicken soup to Stella and only then poured another bowl and fed Noah.
Joseph was sitting off to the side eating rice. He kept glancing at the thermal container that held the chicken soup.
He didn’t know if Hayden had forgotten or just had no intention of letting him eat the soup, as he was still not doing anything even after a long time.
It wasn’t possible for him to be so brazen and go and serve himself the soup, was it? But the smell of the chicken was really nice.
Stella noticed it quickly and immediately brought her spoon closer to Joseph’s mouth. “Sir, the soup made by my mommy is extremely delicious, try it.”
Joseph was stunned. But since the spoon had already reached his mouth, he drank it without further ado.noveldrama
After drinking it, he had a complex expression. The chicken soup was delicious. It exceeded all her expectations. This woman was really good at cooking.
“Does it taste good, sir?”. Stella was eager to hear his answer.
Joseph nodded slightly. “Yes.”
Stella hurried to call Hayden. “Mommy, sir says it tastes good, quickly pour him a bowl.”
It was only now that Hayden remembered that she had not served a bowl for Joseph. He thought secretly in his mind. He was an adult now, didn’t he have hands? Surprisingly he still needed others to help him.
As he drank soup, Joseph looked at Hayden, “You’re really good at cooking, did you secretly learn that from the hotel chef?”
“I’m in a favorable position so it’s normal that I can enjoy the benefit of a favorable position, or what did you call it ‘secretly learned’.” Hayden seemed calm: “I will meet many chefs while working at the hotel. Secret recipes will not be easily learned by others, so I am really capable, as I can learn some of them.”
Joseph said nothing.
“By the way, Mr. Beckham, I have modified the project planning according to the advice you gave me last time, please help me take a look at it.”
Hayden put down the bowl of soup, took out the project planning from his bag and handed it to Joseph.
Joseph was interrupted before he finished eating. Although he was a bit reluctant, he was his boss, so he couldn’t discourage his employee’s enthusiasm. So he stopped eating, picked up the project plan and looked at it carefully.
There was a pleasant smell of chicken soup near the project schedule. Even Joseph could not concentrate fully at that moment. He closed it after reading it for a while.
“There is no big problem. Leave it at that for the time being, I will give you a concrete opinion when you go to the headquarters to attend the meeting on Monday. I’ll ask the opinion of the others by then.”
Hayden’s eyes sparkled with happiness, “Really, no problem at all?”.
It really could be considered unprecedented that she was able to get a positive comment from Joseph.
When she went to the headquarters meeting for the first time, she personally saw a boss who was in charge of publicity being scolded by him, just by using the usual cool and calm tone of voice. The boss’s face was as white as a sheet, as if he was going to faint at any moment due to a myocardial infarction.
Therefore, a comment like ‘no big deal’ from him was really a compliment. His heart burst with joy at that moment so he was also kinder.
“Mr. Beckham, have some more soup. There’s plenty left, I’ll help you pour another bowl.”
When Joseph heard this as he drank soup, his eyebrows twitched.
After Hayden left at noon, Stella was glued to Joseph and continually asked questions.
“Sir, my mom isn’t bad, is she? She’s a good cook and knows how to take good care of people, Noah likes my mom too. There’s no one like my mom in the world, she’s much better than that superstar, isn’t she?”.
Joseph smiled helplessly, “Yeah, your mommy is pretty good.”
From a child’s point of view, it was clear that there was no one better than his own mommy. This was understandable.
Stella, however, obviously did not mean this. When she heard him say ‘good’, her eyes instantly lit up. “Sir, then do you want to consider my mommy as your wife?”.
Joseph’s face stalled.
