President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

After driving for more than thirty kilometers, Hayden and Joseph arrived at Sea View Town.

Hayden who was sitting on the passenger seat had dried tear stains hanging at the corner of her eyes and she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Joseph couldn’t bear to wake her up, but he also knew that they were running out of time and they needed to settle the things here and go back as soon as possible. Therefore, after parking the car, Joseph patted her on the shoulder.

“Hayden, here we are.”

Hayden opened her eyes. She stared at Joseph with her drowsy eyes for a while before she looked out of the window as if she was in a trance like a dream.

The sun was shining so brightly outside that it almost burned one’s skin.

Hayden took two steps forward after getting out of the car. Then, she was covered in the shade, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Joseph standing beside her with a black umbrella and asked her very casually.

“Where do you want to go?”

She regained her consciousness and pointed to the grocery shop in front of her.

“I want to go there. Alayna asked me to contact the owner of the grocery shop when I reach here. She said that it is the only shop in this town that has a public phone.”

Because of its landscape, Ningpo had never been affluent, especially Sea View Town. It was a poor and remote place as if the economy there never improved since the last century, and the residents there still practiced the living habit of the last century. In this town, it was common that fishermen squatting in the sun at the entrance of the shop, smoking homemade cigarettes.

After introducing herself to the owner of the grocery shop, the owner quickly remembered that Hayden was the woman she had spoken to before. He called his wife to watch the shop, and then took both Hayden and Joseph to look for Dante Bruke.

“Dante lives by the sea. He is a bit strange as he doesn’t interact with anyone in our town.”

“Is that so? Why do you say he is weird?

Hayden followed the owner of the shop, curiously asking him about the designer Dante.

“He doesn’t want to live the good life in the city and come back to this poor place to suffer. Isn’t it weird enough?”

Hearing her words, Hayden smiled, “Sir, many people are like that nowadays. It’s too noisy in the city, so it’s quite good to go back to the countryside to live.”

“I don’t know about this, but Dante still did many weird things before. Two years ago, the mayor of our town led us to develop a tourist resort by the sea, but he ruined the plan.”
