Chapter 293 Daddy
Colton picked up on Benedict’s temper and comforted him, “Grandpa, you don’t have to be so angry. You know that
Aunt has a bad temper.”
Hearing this, Benedict almost spat out his drink as he snorted coldly. “Ever since her children left, she seems to
have lost it!”
When he said this, a hint of pain flashed across his eyes. They were all his grandsons, after all. How could he not be
sad?
However, after the death of her children, Olivia seemed to have changed drastically. She became more irritable
and wasn’t the same person as she was before.
As they talked about this, it seemed like a cloud had loomed over the room.
After a long time, Benedict waved his hand and said, “Enough, let’s not talk about her anymore. Let’s talk about us

instead.”
Then, he lowered his head and looked at Hayden’s flushed face. As he sighed, he asked, “Did it hurt when you fell
earlier?”
Hayden shook his head sensibly and answered, “No, it doesn’t.”
This made Benedict pity his great-grandson even more. Even after sobbing like that, Hayden still said he wasn’t
hurt.
“Well, I’m a little tired now. What about this? You come back another day to play with me, okay?”
Benedict leaned back slightly because the rage he felt earlier had made him a little uncomfortable. Coupled with his
old age, it seemed to have drained him.
Nicole noticed his exhaustion and pulled Hayden away. They said goodbye before following Colton out.
As soon as they left the room, Colton turned to Nicole and Hayden and said, “Don’t take my aunt’s words to heart.
She has changed a lot since…”
Although he did not finish his sentence, Nicole knew that he was talking about the death of Olivia’s children.
Nicole had always been the type who would not bother those that didn’t bother her. If Olivia had been respectful
toward her, she wouldn’t have bothered, but because of the way Olivia had treated her son, Nicole couldn’t just
brush it off.

“If Old Mr. Benedict wants to meet Hayden in the future, I think he should choose a day when Ms. Gardner is not
around,” Nicole said.
Colton knew that it was their fault this time, so he did not say anything and smiled faintly. “Let me walk you out.”
Just as Nicole walked out with Hayden in her arms, Joanna walked right in. When she saw the three of them, she
paused in her steps as her eyes darted back and forth between Hayden and Colton.
Then, something seemed to have clicked in her mind and color began to drain from her face. Her eyes widened as
she looked at Nicole in disbelief.
Nicole smiled and greeted Joanna in a friendly manner, “Director Schmidt, what a coincidence.”
Seeing that Colton was nearby, Joanna couldn’t say much as she forced a smile and replied, “Yeah, what a
coincidence. I am just going to visit Old Mr. Benedict.”
Hearing that, he looked over lightly and replied, “It’s okay. Grandpa is a little tired today and he has retired. You can
come back another day.”
Joanna lowered her gaze when she heard this, thinking that it was Colton who did not want her there. This made
her a little sad, but she still gritted her teeth and replied, “Well, I’ll come back another day, then.”
“Mommy, Daddy, who is this person?” Hayden suddenly asked.

There was no surprise on Colton’s face as he calmly explained, “She’s the company’s design director.”
This made Hayden frown as he lowered his head. Deep in thought, he paused for a while before saying, “Mommy is
also a designer. Does this mean that this woman and Mommy are colleagues?”
“Yup,” Nicole answered. “It’s getting late. Let’s go home for dinner.”
“Okay. Bye, Daddy. Tell Grandma I said bye. I’ll come back again next time,” Hayden said politely.
The three of them looked like a lively family as Joanna stood on the sidelines with a thunderous look at this point.
