The coldness in Joseph's eyes disappeared for a moment, and his hands gradually warmed up. The
dissatisfaction in his heart gradually dispersed. Then he held Hayden's hand.
"I'm sorry." Hayden shook her head and thoughtfully said. "It's okay. I know you're not blaming me."
Joseph pulled her into his arms, and he felt very tired. "Hayden, in fact, for so many years I have
thought about when and how she would come back to see me. I am her son after all, but for twenty
years she has not come back once." When he saw her in Lanxi town, he had many complicated
feelings. Who could understand it?
Hayden had some words to say to him, but it didn't seem to be the right time. If she spoke for Rebekah
and Benjamin, she was afraid it would be counterproductive, so she didn't mention it again. And she
still had some questions in her mind..
She picked up the two little kids in the evening to go to the hotel for dinner. Because it was to discuss
the wedding date, Aurora Cook's family was also invited. Harrison was sitting on the main seat facing
south. When he saw the two children, his majestic look became soft and asked the two children to sit
over.
"We've been waiting for half a day. Hayden, why did you come so late?" The person who spoke was
Hayden's aunt, who was not yet fifty years old, with her fur coat hanging on the chair. Her eyes became
shrewd when Hayden entered the door.
"It’s because I just picked up the kids." Hayden faintly explained. She was not familiar with Anna. As a
child in the Barnett family during those years she was always with her grandfather. She occasionally
saw Mrs. Zack and she only could meet Anna when the New Year came.
This time Mr. Beckham called them to come to discuss the wedding date was also because he thought
they were her families. And Nanking’s custom was that uncle was important. In the wedding, uncle was
to sit on the main table seat. That was why they were invited.
"I heard that both children are in one kindergarten--the Blue Castle Kindergarten, aren’t they?" Anna
smiled enthusiastically. "It’s time for my two kids to go to school. I have visited many schools for the two
children in Nanking but none is suitable. I hear that Stella is in that kindergarten so I go to visit that
school. It’s really nice. I want to know whether you can also let my children get admission. They will be
good friends with Stella."
Hearing that, Hayden frowned, "Mrs. Zack, you can just apply for the kindergarten by yourself." Hayden
was speechless since they were even not familiar with each other.
"If I can apply directly, why do I ask you to do that? Hayden, you can just help me."
"What help do you need?" Blossomt couldn't stand it anymore and coldly said, "Are you here today to
talk about your grandsons?" Blossomt had a high status in the Barnett family. Although some people
did not want to listen to her, they had to respect her. Anna immediately closed his mouth and she felt
annoyed.
Blossomt looked at Mr. Beckham and said lightly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Beckham." Harrison was as usual, as if
nothing happened, "Nothing, Joseph, let Hayden sit down. We are just to eat together. There is no
need to be too formal. You can just say what you want." Hayden glanced at Joseph, who sat down next
to Harrison and Hayden sat next to Blossomt.
The room had a big round table. It was enough for twelve people to sit. The Beckham family came with
two people, Harrison and Joseph. The rest were people from the Barnett family.
They all knew why Anna was here. She did not pay attention to the wedding and caught any
opportunity to ask Joseph about his business. As for Anna's daughter, Hayden's cousin, Aurora was
always trying to find ways to talk about kindergarten’s admission. They all wanted to get benefits.
The good thing was that Blossomt and Nathan were sincere to chat with Harrison about the wedding.
They ignored Aurora completely.
"Mommy, I'm full." Stella looked up at Hayden with an innocent face. "You want to go play, do you?"
Hayden smiled and touched her nose. This girl had been staring at the children's section in the room
while she was eating. Stella smiled and said, “Mommy is very smart.” "Don't flatter me. Just go and
don't be too crazy. Noah can go with you."
Then Hayden touched Noah's forehead, "Watch out for your sister."
"OK," Noah nodded with a serious face. In front of other people, Noah hardly spoke. After answering,
he went after Stella.
When Hayden's cousin Aurora saw this, she urged her two sons to go with them, "Alan and Elvis, you
also go to play with them together. Hurry up." The children were always happy to see the playground.
The two boys heard this and immediately ran to them. The dining table then became quiet.
Aurora looked at Hayden and said. "The children can play together happily. It must be better for them to
be in a same school.” Hayden smiled lightly and answered, “But they can’t be in a same grade.” It was
not particularly difficult to get the admission of the Blue Castle Kindergarten. Hayden knew that as long
as she asked, Joseph must have agreed. But she did not want them to take advantage of this. If she
agreed with her this time, she would ask more.
Aurora had been talking so long and not being able to get Hayden to agree. Then Aurora gradually ran
out of patience. She looked annoyed and she laughed sacrificially, "OK. I think I can only do that on my
own." She said hatefully. Hayden just pretended to not hear her words. She turned her eyes to
Blossomt and talked to uncle and Harrison.
On the other hand, Anna also didn’t get what she wanted and looked embarrassed. Aurora’s whole
family was unhappy. They couldn’t eat the meal peacefully. Hayden just wanted to finish the meal
quickly but something happened. A boy's crying suddenly erupted from the children's playground.
"What's wrong?" Aurora looked back, got up quickly and rushed over, screaming
"Alan ......" There was a four-year-old boy lying on the ground. His mouth was full of blood. It seemed
that he fell down on the ground. His mouth was broken and Stella was sitting on the slide. She was
originally ready to slide down. But now she was confused.
"What's going on?" Aurora was scared.
"Hum ...... she pushed me, Mommy ...... "
