President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

“So they did bring me dinner. Why can’t he tell me that? What a weirdo.”

Benjamin twitched his lips in disgust and mumbled. Looking at the food on the table, his heart felt warm.

The colour of the night covered Nanking city. The lights in the city became the stars in the night skies.

Hayden walked out of her bathroom after a shower. She stopped the moment she saw the person in her room.

“Damn, why didn’t I lock the door?”

Too many things happened in one day. Hayden was exhausted, so she headed into the shower once she got into her room. Hayden totally forgot about locking the door.

“What are you doing here?”

Joseph was sitting on the couch near the balcony. He was holding a book Hayden was reading before bed. It was A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. Joseph raised his head when he heard Hayden’s question. He closed the book and dodged her question.

“What a good book to read before bed.”

“You’re overthinking. I read it because I could easily fall asleep reading it.” Hayden kept her arms crossed and kept her distance from Joseph. The safe distance Hayden took was the width of a bed.

“Instead of looking at what I read before bed, you should be knocking on Benjamin’s door before he falls asleep, or you’re going to squeeze into Noah’s bed again.”

Joseph frowned, “I haven’t showered yet.”

“Then go shower. There’s a bathroom outside.”

“The showerhead was broken. The water won’t come out.”

“That’s impossible.”

Hayden glared at him.

“Go and see for yourself.” Joseph didn’t argue at all. He put the book aside and stood up.

“Let’s go.”
