President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

“We’ve arrived.” Joseph’s deep voice echoed in the car. Hayden came to her senses and looked out at the familiar surroundings of the apartment complex. She was distracted. She felt like the dinner was very surreal.

“Thanks.” She said and turned to shake Stella’s shoulders.

“Stella…” The kid yawned but continued to sleep like a piglet. She could not be awakened.

“Allow me,” Joseph said as he undid his seatbelt. He exited the car before Hayden rejected and opened the rear car door. He easily carried Stella into his arms.

“Come, I’ll send you up.” Hayden was stunned and then walked in front.

Alayna’s apartment was on the twentieth floor. The elevator was slow and they could hear each other’s breathing in the small lift enclosure. Stella leaned onto Joseph’s shoulder as she slept soundly. It was as if she was hugging the person that she trusted the most. Hayden looked at them and wondered if the blood relations led to a strong connection between them. Was that the reason why this kid seemed to be so close to Joseph? Just because Noah was close to her?

“Didn’t you say that you had taken back your house? Why are you still staying here?” Joseph’s voice snapped her back to her senses.

She composed herself and said, “That house is at Jinshui Villa Area and is an old villa. The place is rather big. I stayed there with Stella one night and it was too cold and creepy. So we came back to Alayna’s place.”

Initially, she had thought that if Benjamin still could not regain his memory, she would let him stay there with them. At least it would be livelier with him around. But Joseph had decided on his own to let Benjamin stay at the hotel. She didn’t have the habit of hiring a maid so she had temporarily shelved the decision to move to the villa.

“Did the reporter come again?” Joseph thought about the time a reporter came when Freddie was staying there.

“They came several times.” Hayden laughed when this was brought up, “Then when Alayna came back from her business trip, she gave them a good scolding and they didn’t come back after that.”

The lift sounded a ‘ding’ and the lift door opened. It was already late in the night and there wasn’t anyone along the corridor. Hayden took out the key and opened the door. She looked at the bedroom and her actions became more deliberate.
