Chapter 24: Prepare to Get Married


    “So you’ve asked her about the anniversary nning?” Joseph asked about what he had ordered in the


    morning. Magnus responded and nodded. “Yes, I have. Miss Downey said she’ll hand it in as soon as


    possible, and as expected she didn’t know thepany has this tradition, luckily I’ve reminded her


    about this. But she has been quite overstressedtely, so I guess she won’t have much time to


    prepare.”


    “What is she stressed about?”


    “It looks like she’s finding her daughter a kindergarten.” Magnus had a good memory and he instantly


    told him the name of the kindergarten which Hayden was going to strive for. “Miss Downey looks so


    young, I didn’t expect her child is already old enough to go to kindergarten.” Joseph’s eyebrows were


    initially rxed, not knowing why, his eyebrows wrinkled once more when he heard Magnus’s words


    and his look turned glum. As Magnus was talking, Noah suddenly scampered along the way from


    behind and he pped the drawing board onto the table before Joseph : I want to go to kindergarten.


    “Don’t be ridiculous, Noah.” Joseph frowned. “Kindergarten’s environment is tooplex for you, there


    will be teacher to teach you at home.” Having heard his words, Noah exploded and he pushed the


    stack of documents ced aside down. The documents scattered onto the ground and Magnus was so


    shocked that he quickly squatted down to pick them up. Noah then wrote something on the drawing


    board at high speed and once again lifted it in front of Joseph : I want to go to the same kindergarten


    as Ste.


    Joseph frowned more and he replied, “No.” Noah could not speak. The children at school were still


    immature and he would definitely get bullied. Sending him to apletely strange environment and


    letting other idents happened to him when his autism was not yet cured was the least thing he


    wanted to do.


    Yet Noah started to scream in an angry way and crashed all the documents that Magnus had just


    picked and piled up nicely onto the ground. Feeling annoyed, he then wrote a couple more words on


    the drawing board : If you don’t let me go, I’ll tell great grandfather that you’re a bad guy, and I want to


    live with great grandfather.


    Joseph felt speechless. He put his hand on his forehead feeling helpless, while Magnus was trying to


    force back his urge tough when squatting on the ground. The president of the ST Group was actually


    feeling helpless when facing his son every day. How could anyone believe that if they did not witness it


    themselves? Joseph spoke reluctantly after struggling for a long while, “Let me consider that for two


    days first, and don’t mess around, okay?”


    Noah seemed to not feel content of his answer, but the sound of the door opening interrupted his


    objection. “Joseph.” Vi’s slim figure was seen and she walked in from the outside. She smiled while


    standing at the entrance. “Have I interrupted you? I’ve brought you and little Noah lunch.” Noah


    shuddered the moment he heard the sweet voice and he suddenly ran to the resting room next door


    while hugging his drawing board. Joseph deemed that he had epted his suggestion just now and


    did not pay much attention to his behavior.


    “It’s okay, you cane in.” He glimpsed at Vi. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave for now, Mr.


    Beckham.” Having examined the situation, Magnus prepared to leave but was held back by Joseph.


    “Magnus, please stop anything that you’re doing that’s not important at the moment and prepare a


    wedding nning.”


    “Wedding?” Magnus was baffled. “For who?”


    “Me.” Joseph looked indifferent as if he was saying something extraordinarily normal, even Vi who


    was behind Magnus was startled. “Why Joseph…”


    “Get prepared. After I’ve finished everything at hand, I’ll get married.” Joseph’s attitude was too


    composed, but that news was jaw-dropping enough no matter it was to Vi who was his nominal


    fiancé for five years or his assistant Magnus who knew him the best. Magnus left the room with deep


    shock whereas Vi was in a daze as if she was in a reverie. She only responded after a while. “Are


    you serious, Joseph?”


    “Do you think I look like those people who will tell that kind of joke? But I won’t force you, you can tell


    me if you’re reluctant.”


    “No, of course not.” Vi was thrilled. “It’s just that the surprisees too abruptly.” Joseph did not


    seem to be any happy, he was still calm with an expressionless look. “You’re right, Noah needs a mom.


    Besides the housemaids, you’re the woman he’s most familiar with and no one fits the role better than


    you.”


    The moment he finished his words, a crashing sound was heard. Noah was standing at the entrance of


    the resting room next door and the drawing board in his hands crashed onto the ground. He stared at


    Joseph in disbelief and with his face suddenly flushed, and then jumped anxiously and angrily on the


    spot.


    “Noah?” Joseph did not understand his sudden behavior and he quickly walked towards him to check


    on him. “What’s wrong? Did you hurt your feet?” Noah was apprehensive. He snatched Joseph’s


    sleeves and shook his head profusely. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay?” Joseph wanted to touch


    his forehead but he pushed his hand away and Joseph lost his bnce, falling onto the ground.


    “Noah…”


    Noah could not express the rage he wanted to express. He exploded the moment Joseph said he


    wanted to marry Vi. Feeling that Joseph had deceived him, he was in a furious mode no matter how


    Joseph coaxed him. As if he was transformed into a furious lion cub, he rushed back into the resting


    room and crashed everything he could touch. The resting room soon became a huge mess.

    That kind of situation had happened many times. Joseph stood at the entrance. Although he had gotten


    used to it, his heart still ached. He knew the reason Noah vented his anger was because he was


    unable to convey what he wanted to say. He needed to vent his feelings too, but using that kind of way


    to achieve that not only hurt others easily, but also himself.


    There was no moremotion inside the resting room for a long time. Joseph patted the door and


    said, “Come out, Noah.” Noah used to lock the door from the inside and he would refuse to open it no


    matter how Joseph called him. Although the door of the resting room had no lock from the inside,


    worrying that he would irritate Noah more if he opened the door and entered just like that, Joseph


    hesitated. “Noah…”


    “Let me check him out, Joseph.” Vi stood beside him and her eyes were filled with care. “Noah gets


    along well with me, let me try.” Joseph frowned. Looking at the tightly closed door, he still nodded. Vi


    then pushed the door open with aposed look and said, “It’s me, Aunt Vi, little Noah. I’ming


    in.” Noah was curling up at a corner in the room. He looked like he was injected with drugs when he


    heard themotion as Vi entered. He was so frightened that he did not dare to move a muscle


    and his eyes bulged with fear.


    Vi closed the door and approached him while stepping on the scattered dolls on the ground. Her tall


    shadow loomed before him. Noah put his arms around him while squatting down and he was shivering.


    “Little Noah.” Vi lowered her voice. “Don’t be scared, it’s Aunt Vi.” The room was dark and there


    was only a toppledmp giving out dim light on the floor. A creepy soft light was seen in Vi’s eyes


    that was threatening on sight. “Didn’t I tell you to be a good boy? How could you throw things just like


    that?”


    Noah pressed his back tightly against the wall with a horrified and helpless look. Disorganized episodes


    of events shed across his mind and they were all about the bad woman before him. And his dad


    actually wanted a bad woman like her to be his mom. “Noah, do remember my words, okay?”
