President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

“Stella hasn’t eaten yet. You take her out to have something to eat.”

Hayden entrusted Stella to Benjamin, “I have an appointment with someone and I’ll be back later.”

“Okay.” Benjamin nodded, “Hayden, who are you meeting?”

Hayden paused for a moment, “Addison.”

In an open-air café on Beijing Road, the iron tables and chairs had a strong French feel. The maple leaves on the branches in early autumn overhead showed that the weather in Nanking was getting cold gradually.

Addison Sanchez was wearing a beige suit, drinking coffee. She looked well-heeled, the same as they first met, and others would have thought of her as a spoiled child at first sight.

Hayden looked around as she arrived.

“Here.” Addison’s voice sounded from a position near the courtyard wall. Hayden looked up and saw Addison waving.

Hayden walked over and sat down.

“I’ve ordered you a caramel macchiato, a black forest cake, and a salad. Is that okay?”

“Thanks.” Hayden nodded faintly, “You said that you have something to talk to me on the call. What is it?”

Hayden didn’t think that she knew Addison well enough to have lunch together. Not to mention, they had just left from an awkward lunch before this, without even saying hello.

Addison pursed her lips, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m here for you not like last time. I apologize for being rude to you back then.”

She seemed sincere, but Hayden felt that this was a provocation, “That won’t be necessary. You’ve got what you want now. I don’t think that saying such words at this time is an apology, but more like sarcasm.”

“It’s not.” Addison explained, “I’ve given up on Joseph for sure. We are really just brother and sister. I wish that you two can reconcile, just like old time. I hope my appearance hasn’t caused too much impact on you.”
