Chapter 66 Love From Younger Man?
Chapter 66 Love From Younger Man?
“You’ll stay in this room.” Hayden opened the door to a bedroom, “I’ve told Alayna and she said it’s
alright for you to stay here.”
“Alayna is a chivalrous woman. Of course, she will help out.” Freddie tilted his head to look into the
room and nodded in satisfaction.
“Don’t take advantage of the situation. Quickly move out once you found a place for yourself. This isn’t
my house and it’s inappropriate for you to keep staying here.”
“Understood.” Freddie placed his arm over her shoulder, “Sis, what are we eating tonight?”
“Noodles!”
“I love the noodles cooked by you!”
Stella was enjoying the chocolates that Freddie brought for her from overseas. After her door was
opened, she just sat on the carpet and listened to the sounds from outside and thought of Mr.
Beckham’s reaction at the kindergarten. Her large eyes started to turn.
Mommy and Mr. Beckham lived together for so long and there wasn’t any progress. Looked like she
needed to urge them on!
The next day, Hayden went to buy vegetables in the morning. Since Freddie was back, she needed to
give him a proper welcome. Just as she left, the doorbell rang. Freddie went to open the door and
asked, “Did you forget something?”
He opened the door but it wasn’t Hayden.
“You are?” Joseph held onto Noah’s hand and stood by the door. Noah kicked up a tantrum early in the
morning that he wanted to eat at Hayden’s place. When he came, he didn’t expect Freddie to be there
and his expression immediately changed.
Freddie thought and realized with a clap, “I saw you at the kindergarten yesterday. You must be Stella’s
friend’s father! Do you live here as well?”
“Mr. Beckham!” Stella’s voice came from inside the house, “Noah, you’re here as well.”
She ran out with the pattering of her feet and said, “Freddie, Mr. Beckham is mommy’s boss and also
her good friend. Noah is my schoolmate. They frequently come here to eat.”
“Oh. Alright.” Freddie laughed and stood aside, “Come inside, don’t stand at the door.” He behaved as
he was the man of the house.
Noah frowned and stared at him.
Freddie didn’t notice the little guy and smiled at Joseph, “Hayden came back to the country not long
ago and doesn’t have many friends. I’ve heard of the issues with getting into ST Group. You must be
taking good care of her.”
“She is very capable.” Joseph answered and asked, “How are you related to Hayden? Yesterday I
heard Stella calling you uncle?” But he didn’t know that the Downey family had a son.
“Yeah.” Freddie raised his eyebrows, “I’m adopted up by Hayden. I’m considered her half-brother but
we’re not related. More accurately, I’m her future boyfriend. She’s raising me up to be her husband.”
…
Joseph lived for thirty years and never seen a man labeling himself as such and with that tone.
“You’re humorous.” Joseph simply said.
“Humorous?” Freddie looked at him, “Do you think that I’m joking? I’m saying the truth. In any case,
Hayden will be my girlfriend soon. Ask Stella if you don’t believe.”
Three sets of eyes looked towards Stella.
Stella was stunned for a moment and then nodded, “Yeah, mommy and Freddie are very close! It
would be cool if Freddie becomes my father.”
Joseph felt a lump in his throat when he heard this and replied, “Your mommy is very gracious. She
already has a daughter and yet is going for a younger man? I really didn’t notice this side of her.”
“Society is evolving. Hayden and I are just two steps short of being together.” Freddie laughed and
looked towards Joseph cautiously.
“Have a seat, I’ll get you a drink,” Freddie said as he went to the kitchen. This Joseph seemed a
formidable opponent, he thought.
On the other end, Stella led Noah to the bedroom and said, “Noah, have a look at my interlocking toy, I
can’t undo them.”
Noah stood at one side, folded his arms, and ignored her. He looked angry.
“Noah.” Stella looked at him and scratched her head, “What’s wrong with you?”
Noah became even angrier when he saw her indifference. He took a drawing board and wrote a
sentence: My daddy is rich and handsome, how can you have a change of heart! I won’t talk to you
anymore. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Stella looked at the board for a while and still didn’t understand, “What? I don’t know that many words,
Noah.”
Noah took a deep breath and wrote and drew on the board before giving her the board.
On the left was a man in a suit holding hands with a long-haired woman. Each held onto a young child.
On the right was a man in a track suit and a long-haired woman with a child between them.
Noah pointed to the drawing and then to Stella as he fumed angrily.
Stella realized and asked, “Are you saying that I didn’t keep to our contract?”
Noah nodded.
They had agreed to find a way for their parents to come together so that they could become a family.
How come they changed their minds as soon as a handsome man appeared? Women!
“Haha.” Stella suddenly laughed, “You are fooled! That meant that my acting skills are rather good,
Noah.”
Noah frowned and didn’t understand.
“Aren’t you anxious that my mommy and your daddy don’t have any progress after so long?” Stella sat
on the carpet and explained, “I’m only pretending! Grandpa told me that only when there is competition
will there be pressure. So since Freddie is back, it will give Mr. Beckham some pressure. This way Mr.
Beckham will think about whether he wants to be closer to my mother!”
Noah still didn’t believe her.
“Look at how your daddy looked at Freddie, he obviously didn’t look natural!” Stella tugged onto Noah’s
sleeve and said gleefully.
“That’s why I feel that Mr. Beckham definitely likes my mommy for some time already. Let’s continue to
put in our efforts.”
When he heard these, Noah thought about his father’s reactions and calmed down. It sounded logical.
Daddy normally didn’t even like to smile. How would he actively chase after a woman? If there wasn’t
any pressure, perhaps he didn’t even know what to do! Noah looked at Stella and nodded
enthusiastically when he thought of this.
Hayden finally came back with the groceries. She saw the two men sitting on the sofa as soon as she
opened the door. Other than the occasional laughter from Stella, the house was rather quiet.
What’s happening?
On seeing her, Freddie stood up and said, “You’re back!” and then quickly went over to take the bags of
groceries from her hands, “I’ll take them.” Joseph also stood up from the sofa.
Hayden placed her handbag down and asked, “Why are you here?”
Joseph replied calmly, “Noah wants to come, so I brought him here.”
“Noah’s here too?” Hayden looked towards the bedroom and said, “I bought some vegetables and
there’re enough for all, stay for lunch.”
Freddie’s expression changed.
