âDonât worry. You can trust me. Franklin wonât make it after his drug trafficking is reported to the leadership.â
Stefanâs voice sounded confident from the phone.
Joseph nodded while thinking, âTake care of yourself.â
âI am fine. Donât you forget that I am accompanied by the strongest and bravest soldiers? I believe that we can carry out our plan successfully.â
After hanging up the phone, Joseph looked at a pile of materials on the desk with a cold and stony face.
Those materials recorded tons of Franklinâs evil deeds during the past years although he was not in a senior job in the ST Group.
âMaster,â A servant knocked at the door, âMs. Downey has arrived with her family. And she is talking with Mr. Beckham. Would you like to have dinner now or later?â
Joseph nodded, âNow, please.â
Then he left the kitchen and walked towards the foreyard. At the gate, he could hear the conversation.
âBefore she was brought up by the Downey family, Hayden spent her childhood in our family, whom actually we treat as our own child.â
Itâs Haydenâs uncle, Nathan that was talking.
Hayden hadnât had a future plan until Joseph had a heart-to-heart talk of frankness with her. Therefore, she agreed to Josephâs grandpaâs request that her family members came here to meet the Beckhamâs.
They had the dinner at the Beckhamâs dwelling house for Nathanâs identity didnât allow him to appear publicly, which was consented by Nathan and his wife.
Josephâs grandpa said briskly, âThatâs right. The two kids nearly share their life experience. You know, Joseph was raised up by me because his parents were too busy in the past.
So naturally he might be reclusive and taciturn. And I remember he has never been fond of a girl except Hayden. I can tell that he really loves her.
And I like her, too, so it will be great if they get married.â
Hayden was sitting silently beside her aunt. Thereâs no need for her to talk much and all she had to do was to be an audience of the elders.
Apparently, her aunt was not satisfied with the Beckham family, who kept a poker face and seemed to neglect the enthusiastic old man after she entered the house.
When restless, Hayden noticed Joseph at the gate and stood up promptly.
âJoseph.â
Now the conversation was interrupted and everyoneâs attention was drawn to Joseph.
âOh, you are here.â Mr. Beckham beckoned to him, groaning, âCome on. Why are you so late? We have waited for you for a long while.â
keeping quiet, Joseph chose the position beside Mr. Beckham, where he could face Hayden. Between them was a long tea table made of rose wood.
Noticing the hint from Hayden who was tipping him a wink, he frowned, âWhy not call the children here now since the dinner is being prepared in the kitchen?â
Itâs longest sentence that he could say because he was not good at livening things up.
However, Haydenâs aunt gave him a cold expression, âJust take time. Donât you know how to take care of a child? If they are here before the dinner, itâs difficult for them to stay obedient. And they will become even naughtier at the dinner time.â
Joseph failed to rely.
The atmosphere there seemed to vibrate with tensions.
Hayden suddenly said, âMy dear auntie, both Stella and Noah are not naughty.â
âOh no,â her aunt looked at her seriously, âItâs said that only those who are naughty and energetic in the childhood can grow up to be intelligent. I remember that they were vigorous while in my house, but how could they become so quiet here? Oh I guess it must be rife with creeds and rules here so that my lovely kids are reserved. â
Hearing this, Mr. Beckham was unpleased, âBut I have to say, people need rules. Joseph obeyed the family rules when he was a child. Now his kids who are around six must be tamed.â
âWell, I am afraid you are wrong, my dear Mr. Beckham.â Haydenâs aunt looked at his eyes with confidence.
âAs you know, Joseph was brought up by you, who, however, now appeared too quiet. Besides, Stella has been educated in a foreign country so I think that your theory of rearing cannot be applied on her. And I guess she needs to return to our house, for some leisure.â
Itâs obvious that she, who tried to be polite before, now intended to agitate Josephâs grandfather.
But she failed. Although his countenance was changed into an expression of annoyance, Mr. Beckham didnât respond to her provocation.
At this moment, a servant from the kitchen came to inform them that the dinner was ready, which eased the tension of their conversation.
Before having the meal, Hayden took her aunt aside, âMy dear auntie, what are you doing? We all became embarrassed. Now tell me, why did you want to take Stella away from this family.â
âYou are too young, homey.â
Her aunt pointed to her forehead, âBefore you are married, youâd better keep the distance from their family, and so had Stella, especially. I mean, in these days, you are the best one to take care of Stella in order that she will not be considered to be redundant. If you are too busy, I can take the responsibility for you.â
Hayden was amused, âSo you are afraid that I will be looked down upon by their family because of Stella?â
âNo, how dare they? Joseph is also a father with a child.â
Hayden understood that all her aunt did was for her so she was grateful.
Then she leaned on her auntâs shoulder affectionately.
âSo you see, itâs fair between me and Joseph. I hope you wonât be picky to them.â
âOh you now are actually a member of the Beckhamâs, donât you?â Her aunt pinched her cheek slightly and said, âIf I am not so picky, you mother wonât be happy to watch you bullied by them.â
Hearing this, Hayden looked at the starry sky.
âNo. they wonât do that to me. And I am sure that she is satisfied by my decision.â

She also had planned to tell the whole thing to Joseph some time.
At the dinner, her aunt looked nicer because of Haydenâs persuasion. Or maybe the two childrenâs happiness affected her as well as the others at the table.
After dinner, Stella, playing and running around the table, asked suddenly after overhearing their talk.
âIs my mom going to marry Joseph?â
Haydenâs aunt looked at Stella mildly, answering in a gentle tone, âYes. Are you happy with that?â
âItâs just not bad.â Stella slid Josephâs a sideway glance on purpose, âMy mom is so charming that many gentlemen are fond of her. If Joseph wants to marry her, he must perform well enough.â
Joseph asked Noah for help at once by give him a look, hoping that Noah would come up with a solution for him.
Noah understood what Joseph meant, so he held Haydenâs hand seriously, âSheâs right. Mom, you should consider it caaarefully.â
Joseph was awkward and sad as if he had an ungrateful son.
