Chapter 137: Be the Stepmother for Other’s Son


    “We’ve arrived. We are now looking for a ce to park. Don’t worry about us. Get ready for your


    concertter.”


    “Hayden, there’s an empty ce!” Benjamin stopped Hayden.


    “Where?”


    Hayden quickly drove in the direction where Benjamin pointed, “Freddie, I’ll talk to youter. I’ll call your


    assistant after parking the car.”


    “Alright,” Freddie replied.


    After parking the car into the car park space, Benjamin held Ste’s hand and followed Hayden. They


    headed backstage and saw Freddie’s assistant waiting for them at the entrance.


    Freddie’s assistant took a breath of relief after seeing Hayden. He quickly led Hayden to the dressing


    room while exining, “Finally, you’re here, Hayden. Freddie has rushed me to wait for you here since


    afternoon. He’s worried that you couldn’t find your way here.”


    Hayden felt resigned.


    “That’s impossible. Freddie is over-worried. This is his first concert, and he shouldn’t be worrying about


    anything else than his concert. I wouldn’t dare toe again if he continues to act like this.”


    Two crews walked past Hayden quickly with props while Hayden talked. The standing microphone


    almost hit her face. Luckily Benjamin reacted quickly and pulled Hayden away.


    “What are you guys doing? Be careful! You can’t afford to damage either our props or our guest!”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “It’s fine.”


    Hayden tried to mediate.


    People were busy with preparations for the concert in the hallway. It’s best not to trigger any disputes.


    However, Hayden was worried for Ste. When she was about to turn and asked Benjamin to take care


    of Ste, she saw Benjamin has already carried Ste and protected her carefully in his arms.


    Hayden stunned. Benjamin was still remembered as the person when Hayden first met him. When


    Benjamin woke up in the hospital after the ident, he looked innocent, panicked, and confused.


    Hayden was the only person he could rely on.


    Hayden didn’t remember since when Benjamin had grown into an adult-like person, even when he


    hadn’t gained his memory back.


    Maybe he was like this before the ident. Hayden can’t help wondering what kind of environment


    Benjamin was in that made him so mature.


    “It’s too crowded here. I’ll bring Ste to a less crowded ce?” Hayden woke up from her thoughts


    when Benjamin asked her a question.


    “Sure,” Hayden nodded, “You should bring Ste over first. I’ll follow you after I’ve spoken to Freddie.


    It’s almost time.”


    Freddie’s assistant agreed and looked at his phone, “Yes, it’s almost time. The concert is starting in


    about ten minutes.”


    Benjamin brought Ste to the auditorium and sat in front of the stage while Hayden entered the


    dressing room with Freddie’s assistant.


    “Where’s Freddie?” After looking around, all Hayden saw was Freddie’s stylists, makeup artists, and his


    manager. Freddie wasn’t in the room.


    “Freddie went to the washroom. He should be back soon,” Freddie’s manager answered. He smiled


    warmly when he saw Hayden, “Hey, Hayden! Come, sit. Where’s Ste?”


    “There are too many people backstage. I’m worried she would create trouble for the crew. I’ve sent her


    to the auditorium.”


    The crew who in-charged with Freddie’s itinerary were familiar with Hayden. Freddie’s manager and


    assistant were with him when he filmed a traveling program. The crew likes Ste a lot.


    Although Joseph said he didn’t like Freddie, he provided a top-notch team for Freddie, and he assigned


    a considerable sum of money in publicity for Freddie. It was only a few months after Freddie’s debut


    from a TV program. The tickets for his solo concert had already sold out.


    Hayden was impressed by Freddie’s achievement by far. She almost forgot what happened this


    afternoon.


    “I’m sorry, Miss. You can’t go in…”


    “What are you talking about? Don’t you know who I am?”


    A dispute happened and caught the attention of the people in the dressing room.


    The door opened, and a huge bouquet in pink came into the room. The person who was holding it hid


    behind it. She said in a coquettish tone, “Surprise! Congrats on your first-time concert, Freddie!”


    “Who is this woman?” Freddie’s manager frowned, “Is she a fan? Who let her in?”


    The security guard was nervous, “She came in when I wasn’t paying attention. She imed that she is


    Freddie’s sister. We can’t do much.”


    “Sister?” Freddie’s manager got angry, “Freddie’s sister is sitting here. Who is this woman? Get rid of


    her.”


    “Hayden?” The woman showed her face when she heard what Freddie’s manager said. Her face


    turned red when she saw Hayden, “Why are you here?”


    Freddie’s manager was stunned. He asked in hesitation, “Do you know her, Hayden?”


    Hayden slowly enjoying her cup of tea. She smiled when she heard Freddie’s manager’s question,


    “Sort of.”


    Hayden recognized Chelsea’s coquettish voice when she came in. She got goosebumps the moment


    she heard Chelsea’s voice. Hayden didn’t voice out because she wanted to see how thick-skin Chelsea


    was toe backstage without Freddie’s invitation.


    “Sort of? How rude!” Chelsea put the bouquet on the couch and looked around. She red at Hayden


    after confirming Freddie wasn’t in the room, “Have you spend too much time outside? Don’t you


    recognize your own family? You’re heartless. I dare you to say this to father when you ask him for the


    house.”


    The people in the dressing room immediately understood who Chelsea was after hearing their


    conversation. People started to whisper.


    “That''s quite another matter,” Hayden replied calmly, “You stomped into the room so rudely. I don’t dare


    to say that I know you, to avoid embarrassing Freddie.”


    “You…”


    Chelsea was blue in the face. She teased, “I came to support Freddie. I grew up with him. How could


    that be embarrassing? But you? You ran off overseas without getting married and came back with a


    daughter. A natural-born who didn’t know who her father is. Do you think it’s another Cindere story


    now that you’re with the Director of the ST Group? What are you proud of? You are just a stepmother


    for others son.”


    Hayden clenched her fists.


    She hated people who talked bad about her child. Luckily Ste wasn’t here, or else she might tear


    Chelsea into pieces.


    “My personal experiences have nothing to do with me being here supporting my brother, right? Sister?”


    It sounded like it meant differently when Hayden emphasize the term ‘sister’, “But sister, do you think


    people don’t know how you feel about Freddie? Won’t your partner be jealous when he knows that you


    came here to support Freddie like this?”


    Chelsea’s face turned green.


    “What nonsense are you talking about?”


    How would she know what was going on at her house?
