Chapter 39: Do You Want to Consider My Mommy
“Sir, this matter should have nothing to do with Ms. Kidman”
The butler frowned with a face as he was put in a difficult situation.
“Nothing to do with her? Harrison’s eyebrow furrowed, “How are you sure about it?”
“When Little Noah had the accident, Ms. Kidman was in the young master’s room,” the butler bit the bullet and explained, “A maid accidentally went in and saw that the two of them were on the bed.”
Hearing this, Harrison’s face turned blue. His fist came down on the rosewood table with a loud bang and he said coldly.
“Shameless.”
He had always disliked Viola. He did not need to think about the other aspect. The gossips about her these years had become more and more from time to time.
In addition to the fact that after Joseph brought her back six years ago, Harrison had asked someone to investigate Viola’s background. She was initially a waitress recommending drinks in a nightclub but she managed to reach a first-line position in the entertainment industry today. This could never just be explained by the words, opportunity and luck.
This woman was indeed very ambitious.
“Sir, do I need to continue to investigate this matter?”
Harrison took a deep breath and his eyes darkened.
“No need, I need you to do something else.”
…
In the evening, Hayden brought Stella home. Stella kept chattering all the way home, which made Hayden annoyed.
“Mister is handsome, rich and humorous. Mommy, you have really found a treasure this time.”
“Shush.”
Hayden took out the key to open the door and rolled her eyes at Stella. After she opened the door and brought Stella in, she retorted while changing shoes, “It’s right that he’s handsome but he isn’t that astonishingly handsome, do you think he’s more handsome than your Uncle Freddie?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Hearing this, Stella frowned and her eyes instantly widened, “Of course not, Brother 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, not your brother. So, you can’t marry him in the future and he can’t wait for you that long.”
“No, Freddie said he would wait for me to grow up.”
“He was just lying to you.” Hayden rolled her eyes at Stella, “I can’t believe you believe such words.”
“I don’t care. Anyway, Freddie is mine.”
“Okay, okay, he’s yours.”
Hayden was lazy to argue with her about this matter. She was just using Freddie as an excuse to divert Stella’s attention from Joseph, “By the way, Freddie called me two days ago, saying that he would come back to hold a concert not long after. Do you want to attend?”
“Of course!”
Stella’s face was full of excitement, “Freddie is going to come back!”
“Not yet, but he’ll come back very soon. If you want to attend, behave obediently then.”
Hayden lowered her body, patted Stella’s shoulder and spoke with a slightly threatening tone, “If you think about more nonsenses, I won’t bring you to the concert.”
“No!” Stella apparently faced an enemy.
“Then, go to take a shower now and hit the sack.”
After Freddie was used as the trump card, Stella obeyed the instructions like a soldier. She did not dare to mention Joseph’s matter again before she hit the sack.
After running around for a day, Hayden also slept like a log.
The weather the next day was good.
Hayden went to the market early in the morning to buy things. After she came back, she cooked the food and brought Stella to the hospital. After thinking about it, she went back and took the revised script of project planning together to the hospital.
“I’ve made black-bone chicken soup today. You can’t keep drinking fish soup as you’ll be sick of it. Change the flavour, black-bone chicken soup is also quite nutritious.”
After Hayden opened the lid of the thermal insulation lunch box, the nice smell of the chicken soup filled the whole ward. She first handed a bowl of chicken soup to Stella and only then served a bowl and fed Noah.
Joseph was sitting aside and eating rice. He kept taking a glance at the thermal insulation lunch box that contained the chicken soup.
He did not know whether Hayden had forgotten or just that she totally did not intend to let him have the soup as she still did not do anything even after a long time.
It was not possible for him to be thick-skinned and went to serve the soup himself, right? But the smell of the chicken smell was really nice.
Stella noticed it quickly and immediately handed her spoon to Joseph’s mouth, “Mister, the soup made by my mommy is extremely delicious, have a try.”
Joseph was stunned. But since the spoon had already reached his mouth, he just drank it.
After drinking it, he had a complex expression. The chicken soup was so delicious. It was completely beyond his expectation.
This woman was really good at cooking.
“Does it taste good? Mister?” Stella was looking forward to hearing his response.
Joseph nodded slightly.
“Yes.”
Stella hurriedly called Hayden.
“Mommy, Mister says it tastes good, you quickly serve Mister a bowl.”
Now only Hayden remembered she had not served a bowl for Joseph.
She secretly thought in her mind. He was already an adult. Didn’t he have hands? He surprisingly still needed others to help him.
While drinking soup, Joseph looked at Hayden, “You’re really good at cooking. Is it that you have secretly learnt it from the hotel chef?”
“I’m in a favourable position so it’s normal that I can enjoy the benefit of a favourable position, how can you call it ‘secretly learnt’.” Hayden looked calm, “I’ll meet many chefs as I work in the hotel. The secret recipes won’t be easily learnt by others, so I’m indeed capable as I can learn some of them.”
Joseph did not say anything.
“By the way, Mr. Beckham, I’ve modified the project planning according to the advice you gave me last time, please help me to take a look at it.”
Hayden put down the bowl of soup, took out the project planning from her bag and handed it to Joseph.
Joseph was interrupted before he finished eating. Although he was a little reluctant, he was a boss so he could not discourage the enthusiasm of his employee. Therefore, he stopped eating, took the project planning and looked at it carefully.
There was a nice smell of chicken soup from near the project planning. Even Joseph also could not fully concentrate at that moment. He closed it after reading it for a while.
“There isn’t any big problem. Leave it like this first. I’ll give you a specific opinion when you go to the headquarters to attend the meeting on Monday. I’ll ask others’ opinions first by that time.”
Hayden’s eyes sparkled with happiness, “Really? There isn’t any problem?”
It could really be considered unprecedented that she was able to get Joseph’s comment like this.
When she went to the meeting of the headquarter for the first time, she personally saw a head who was in charge of advertising get chewed out by him by just using the usual cold and calm tone of voice. The
head’s face was as white as a sheet as if he would faint anytime due to myocardial infarction.
So, a comment like ‘there isn’t any big problem’ from him was indeed a compliment.
Her heart exploded with joy at that moment so she also curried favour.
“Mr. Beckham, have more soup. There is much soup left, if you feel you haven’t had enough, I’ll help you to serve another bowl.”
When Joseph heard this while drinking soup, his eyebrows twitched.
After Hayden left at noon, Stella was clingy to Joseph and she continuously asked questions.
“Mister, my mommy is not bad, right? She’s good at cooking and she knows how to take good care of people. Noah also likes my mommy. You can’t find a second like my mommy in the world. She’s much better than the superstar, right?”
Joseph smiled helplessly, “Yeah, your mommy is quite good.”
In a kid’s view, it was definite that there was nobody better than her own mommy. This was understandable.
Stella, however, obviously did not mean this. When she heard him saying ‘good’, her eyes instantly lit up.
“Mister, then do you want to consider my mommy to be your wife?”
Joseph’s face stagnated.
