President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

The implication of Joseph's words was that affiance was a matter decided by the elders when he was still a child. The elders did not ask for his agreement at all.

Hayden pursed her lips and deliberately annoyed him, “Come on. With that temper of yours, don’t say that you’re just ten years old at that time, no one will be able to force you if you don’t agree. No matter how you put it, you actually liked that childhood friend of yours.”

“Do you want to hear the truth?”

Joseph intensely looked at Hayden that it startled her.

He really liked her?

“It’s not what you think.” Joseph knocked on her head helplessly. She snorted and covered her face in dissatisfaction, “Just say what you want to. Why did you hit me?”

Joseph’s indifferent face seemed somewhat warm. He remained silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking of how to put his thoughts into words.

“My father had always wanted a daughter when he was still alive, but he couldn’t get one. Hence, he regarded as Addison his own daughter for quite some time.”

Hayden was slightly startled. This wasn’t the first time that Joseph had taken the initiative to tell her about his parents, but he seemed particularly calmer this time.

“My mother was a painter that only had her dreams in her heart. She often brought with her drawing board and left home for a few months. My existence didn’t have any impact on her living habits. Other than taking a look at me when she came home after finishing her painting, we rarely had the chance to see each other. This has lasted for many years.”

Joseph’s voice slowly echoed in the dark room. He sounded extremely calm, as if he was telling her a matter that had nothing to do with him.

Based on what he said, Hayden only figured out Addison’s relationship with the Beckham family.

Joseph’s parents had always been in a state that spent less time together than apart. His mother was always abroad and his father was constantly busy with work, hence Joseph was taken care by his grandfather and the housekeeper of the Beckham family since young. Mr. Beckham was bad-tempered and had always been strict in educating children. Even though Joseph was still a child, he didn’t allow Joseph to lighten any principle. Over time, Joseph became reclusive and had a strange temper among his peers.
