Chapter 335
President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free
The congregation got bigger and bigger. People started to dance, the square was filled with merriment.
Hayden was kind of lost. After a while, a man in a white suit finally showed up from behind the tree.
âYou prepared all this?â she trotted towards him, hammered his chest with her fist, laughing joyfully. âWhatâs the point to make such a splash for a New Yearâs Eve?â
âItâs not just a New Yearâs Eve but the first New Yearâs Eve I spend with you. And I hope it will be you who spend every New Yearâs Eve with me in the future.â
âOf course.âHayden raised her brow, complacent. âWho wants to spend their New Yearâs Eve with you except for me?â
âYou agreed. And donât you regret it.âJoseph smiled, gripped Haydenâs hand. Then under the eyes of the crowd, he got on one knee.
For an instant, Hayden froze.
The blue box in Josephâs hands was exquisite. With a clicking sound, he flipped it open.
Inside it was a dozen of rings different in shape, glimmering under the light. Hayden gaped, and the move she had when she divined what Joseph was trying to do was replaced by amusement.
âAre you proposing?â she asked.
Joseph raised his brow, acting like this was the common way of proposing. âLest you would say that you donât like the ring I picked, I have ten rings custom-made. So you will like at least one of them.â
Hayden smiled, happily. Then tears of joy shed.
âPick one.âJoseph looked at her, affection and tenderness in his eyes.
Snuffling, Hayden averted her eyes from Joseph purposely and reached her hand out.
âOnly kids make choice, adults want them all.â
âIs that so?â
Joseph smiled, and then one by one, he put the rings on Haydenâs fingers. Soon there was a ring on each finger of her right hand.
Hayden was just joking. She didn't expect Joseph would actually do so, so she withdrew her hand hurriedly.
âYou really think I mean it?â
Joseph fanned out his hands, smiling at her.
âYour left hand.â
It was supposed to be something touching, but now it somehow was hilarious. Hayden looked at the rings on her fingers laughing uncontrollably.
âI look like an arriviste, donât I?â
âYou wore my ring, now you are mine.â
âIâm yours.â She murmured. âAlways have, always will.â
Her journey with Joseph was not so propitious, there had been ups and downs. Maybe fate just tethered them together. Though she had struggled before, but now she had thought it through. If she was to choose someone to spend the rest of her life with, it would be Joseph, Joseph Beckham.
To her, Joseph was not an option, he was the answer.
Joseph took her to the restaurant on the top floor of the mall, from where they could enjoy the evening scenery of the city.
âI thought you would take the kids here too,â Hayden said, âis that how people propose? Friends and families gather together to cheer.â
Joseph replied in a tender tone.
âBecause I hope you want to marry because of me.â
âNot because of the kids, nor that your uncle and aunt accept me now, nor any other reason, but because you love me.â
Hayden paused, she was moved. She murmured as her face flushed. âDid you eat honey before?â
He had been so sweet since the propose, thatâs so not him.
The waiter came up to serve their dessert. He looked at Hayden queerly.
âSorry to interrupt you, sir and madam.... Hereâs your dessert.â
âThanks.â
The waiter kept giving a queer look at them when he left and murmured something with his colleagues.
Hayden was confused, she asked.
âWhy is he acting so weird? Is my make up?â
âI donât think itâs the reason.â Implicitly, he looked at her hands covering her face.
And instantly, Hayden realized that she was still wearing those rings. The glitters of the rings almost blinded her when she peered at them. Hurriedly, she hid her hands under the table.
âWhy donât you tell me?â
âWhy ? you have to eat.â
âItâs all your fault.â She glowered at him. âWho would buy ten rings to propose?â
Joseph smiled teasingly.
âI didn't think that would put them on though.â
âAnd you still mock me?â she grumbled, âIâm taking them off now.â
âYou canât.âJoseph said solemnly.
âYouâre so unreasonable!â she stepped Josephâs foot under the table in a fit of pique. âTheyâre heavy, I canât even raise my hands! How can I eat?â
But she knew she wouldnât take them off.
No woman would take off her engagement ring on the day of propose.
The clangor of the bell ushered in the New Year as the sky was illuminated by fireworks. They city welcomed the biggest revel of the year.
âMake a wish.â Hayden urged Joseph. âMake a wish, before the chimes die.â
When she heard the chime, she crossed her hands customarily as she had done in the past and made her wish.
âI wish Stella doesnât have to suffer from asthma anymore, I wish Noah will come out of his autism, I wish Alayna can get over depression, I wish Edison finds his love, I wish health for grandpa, uncle and aunt...â

When she opened her eyes, she found Joseph had barely moved. For a instant, she scowled.
âWhy didnât you make a wish? It works!â
Joseph laughed, looked at Hayden affectionately. âBut my wish had come true, I donât have to make one anymore.â
âIt did? What is it?â
She was puzzled, and at the same time curious. And after Joseph stared at her for a good long while, she finally understood what he meant.
She accepting his proposal was his wish.
When she realized that, the reddishness on her face crept down to her neck in an instant.
He didnât eat honey before he left home, he bathed in honey.
