Chapter 142: Often Came When I Was A Child


    Night fell. The evening breeze at the hilltop sounded a bit cool when they felt it.


    Hayden and Joseph walked around the hill while holding each other’s hands. Seeing that Joseph was


    familiar with everywhere, she could not help but ask.


    “Do youe here often? Howe you’re so familiar with this ce?”


    “The development right of this ce is under the ST Group. It was originally meant to be a resort


    area but this project was dyed due to some matters after that. So, this ce has be a deserted


    hill.”


    Joseph paused for a few seconds before speaking slowly.


    Hayden’s attention was entirely on the environment in the surrounding so she did not notice a trace of


    despondency in Joseph’s eyes.


    “Is it deserted? I feel that it’s taken care of pretty well. There are flowers and trees all over the ce


    and there are manyrge fruit trees over there. Many raspberries can be found there.”


    Hayden seemed to have somewhat realized something. She raised her eyes to size up Joseph’s face,


    “However, you apparently haven’t answered my question directly.”


    Joseph’s face stiffened. After a moment of silence, he let go of Hayden’s hand and paced to the ce


    where there was a draught. The wind at the hilltop entered his shirt and this made his shirt somewhat


    expanded. This inexplicably showed loneliness.


    “I often came when I was a child.” Joseph looked indifferent, “After my father passed away, I never


    come. The project of the resort was also stopped due to my father’s death.”


    Joseph’s father died in a car ident. Hayden frowned, “So, your father is…”


    “Yes.”


    Joseph took a deep breath and showed a rarely seen sadness, “My father had an ident on this hill.”


    Hayden’s heart tightened slightly. She walked up with an apologetic face, “Sorry.”


    She should not ask so many questions. This matter would probably cause him to feel very sad.


    “It’s okay. That is already a matter that happened many years ago. Also, I’m the one who wants to bring


    you here. I intend to restart the development project of the resort so perhaps this will be thest time


    for us to see the natural phenomenon here.”


    He backhanded to hold Hayden’s hand and pulled her to his side, “When youe here the next time,


    there will be a ce for you to stay.”


    Joseph suddenly embraced her and there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes, “I just hope that in the


    future, on this day every year, you can also think of some happy things rather than only thinking of the


    anniversary of your mother’s death.”


    Haydeny in his arms and her voice was slightly muffled, “Like what?”


    “For example, today is the day youe to this world. Without this day, I won’t have met you.”


    “You will meet someone else too.”


    Hayden deliberately teased him, “Such as Vi or someone else. If I don’t exist, won’t you have


    married someone else? Perhaps, your child will be given birth soon not long after.”


    “What exactly are you going to say?” Joseph frowned. His tone became cold but the tenderness in his


    eyes did not diminish at all.


    This woman was indeed dropping a nger.


    Hayden blinked and said with great regret, “I’ve prevented you from having a marriage with others, I’m


    really sorry.”


    Her sly behaviour made her looked like a little fox. Joseph looked down at her and he could not see her


    clearly in the dark.


    The next second, Hayden was carried by Joseph in his arms. As her legs were suddenly lifted from the


    ground, she wrapped her hands tightly around his neck.


    “Oh my God…” Hayden’s screams echoed throughout the hilltop, “What are you doing? Put me


    down…”


    “Just scream, nobody wille and save you no matter how hard you scream.”


    Joseph ced her body on the backseat of the car and closed the door, “Do you know what the


    consequence of provoking me is?”


    Hayden was lying fearlessly. Her shiny ck hair scattered below her body and this made her looked


    even more charming.


    “I know, of course,” Hayden spoke softly and her red face looked like a temptation.


    …


    On Saturday, Hayden went to Scarlett’s house to pick up the two children.


    It was just nice that her uncle was also there, “Hayden is here. You’ve arrived just in time, stay and


    have lunch together at noon.”


    “No need.” Hayden hurriedly excused herself, “I’m just here to pick up the kids, I’ve promised Joseph


    and we will go back to his house at noon to have a meal with his grandpa.”


    Harrison had called her a day in advance and asked her to take the kids to have a meal together. The


    purpose was undoubtedly clear. After all, he only had a precious grandson and a precious great-


    grandson. So, it was normal that he wanted to get in touch with her, who was Joseph’s rumoured


    fiancée so that he would only feel at ease.


    “Where is Aunt?” Hayden looked around and did not see Scarlett.


    “You’ll have to wait for a while. Have a seat first, she has brought the two kids for a morning exercise.”


    “Morning exercise?” Hayden slightly curled her lips. These two kids were used to glue themselves to


    bed, especially Noah. He was spoiled by others since young in which he could do whatever he wanted.


    Regarding when he wanted to sleep, it was always based on his temper.


    Scarlett always had a habit to do morning exercise so she would wake up at six o’clock in the morning.


    It was still okay for Ste but was Noah able to wake up?


    “Uncle, these two kids haven’t given you any trouble in the past two days here, right?”


    Knowing how these children were like, Hayden’s heart leapt to her throat.


    “Yes, they didn’t.” Hayden’s uncle, Nathan, waved his hand and invited her to sit down while smiling.


    “They didn’t give me any trouble. It was just that yesterday noon, your second aunt brought her two


    naughty children toe over and they broke your aunt’s record yer. They used that Ste was


    the culprit but the result was that although Noah could not speak, he could write down the whole thing


    clearly with logical evidence so Ste’s innocence was proved. This child is indeed not simple.”


    Hearing this, Hayden could not help but reveal a proud look, “This child has always been smart.”


    “He’s really a smart child as he has his own ideas from a young age. He is really close to you and it


    seems like he is your biological child.”


    Nathan put the teacup in front of Hayden. These words were spoken meaningfully and this apparently


    hit the nail on the head.


    Hayden clenched her fists tightly and smiled awkwardly, “My aunt should be back soon, right.”

    “Yes, it’s almost time.”


    Nathan nced at the clock, “It’s almost time. By the way, your aunt has asked me to give you


    something.”


    “What?” Hayden said curiously.


    “This is the key of a duplex apartment in Plum Blossom Park. It isn’t appropriate that you keep living in


    your friend’s house. So, you should move in there afterward.”


    When Hayden saw the key, she was stunned. After regaining her presence of mind, she quickly


    declined.


    “Uncle, I don’t want it.”


    “Your aunt’s bark is worse than her bite. The house is under your name and the reason it isn’t given to


    you for so many years is that we’re afraid that the woman of the Downey family will snatch the thing


    your mother gave you. We also know that Brook has given you a vi in the Jinshui Vi area.


    However, we hear that the vi area is too old and not many people are living there. You bring your


    child to leave there, just take this key.”


    Nathan had aged a lot over the years. As Hayden listened to his words, she had aplicated mood


    and she felt bad. Ovee by a sense of sadness, the tears rolled down her cheeks.
