President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

When Hayden got off the car, she was shocked to see the familiar house in front of her.

“Lorraine, I sold this house, right?”

Lorraine was asking her assistant to take the suitcase into the house, then explained. “Mr. Godfery is worried that you are not used to living in another place, so he let me buy this house back after you left.”

Hayden was complicated in feelings.

The furnishings inside were the same to that before. The only difference was the Christmas tree beside the fireplace. The tree was decorated with colors, making a Christmas atmosphere.

“This tree was decorated by Mr. Godfery before Christmas.”

“Did he invite his friends to have a party here?” Hayden felt the bells on the tree, and said, “He liked to have a party before, and it was house-warming in the yard.”

“No.” Lorraine’s voice rang behind her, “On the Christmas eve, he stayed here alone for the whole night.”

The hand holding the bell was stiff, and Hayden turned around slowly, looking at Lorraine with a shock, “Alone?”

In the past years in America, Edison would prepare for a festival one month in advance. For example, he selected and broiled the turkey himself for the Thanksgiving day, and he picked and wrapped the gifts and chose the game on the party for Christmas day. Hayden always believed that Edison was a fun-loving guy.

“Yes.” Lorraine nodded, with sorrow flashing in her eyes.

“In fact, Mr. Godfery doesn’t have many friends in America, and most the so-called friends are just business partners. After you left, the festivals are just ordinary days in the year to Mr. Godfery.”

Different from Hayden’s understanding, Lorraine companied with Edison for many years, and they worked hard together. She often saw Edison frowning. But every time he saw Hayden, he hid all his worries and kept smiling.

When his company was confronted with the forced merger, he also made time to decorate the Christmas tree and buy gifts for Hayden and her daughter. Lorraine offered to help with that, but was declined.
